`AI_FLAG_BASIC_TRAINER` is expansion's version of generic, normal AI behaviour. It includes `AI_FLAG_CHECK_BAD_MOVE` (don't use bad moves), `AI_FLAG_TRY_TO_FAINT` (faint the player where possible), and `AI_FLAG_CHECK_VIABILITY` (choose the most effective move to use in the current context). Trainers with this flag will still be smarter than they are in vanilla as there have been dramatic improvements made to move selection, but not incredibly so. Trainers with this flag should feel like normal trainers. In general we recommend these three flags be used in all cases, unless you specifically want a trainer who makes obvious mistakes in battle.
`AI_FLAG_SMART_TRAINER` is expansion's version of a "smart AI". It includes everything in `AI_FLAG_BASIC_TRAINER` along with `AI_FLAG_SMART_SWITCHING` (make smart decisions about when to switch), `AI_FLAG_SMART_MON_CHOICES` (make smart decisions about what mon to send in after a switch / KO), and `AI_FLAG_OMNISCIENT` (awareness of what moves, items, and abilities the player's mons have to better inform decisions). Expansion will keep this updated to represent the most objectively intelligent behaviour our flags are capable of producing.

Expansion will keep this updated to represent the most objectively intelligent behaviour our flags are capable of producing.
`AI_FLAG_PREDICTION` will enable all of the prediction flags at once, so the AI can perform as well as possible. It is best paired with the flags in `AI_FLAG_SMART_TRAINER` for optimal behaviour. This currently includes `AI_FLAG_PREDICT_SWITCH` and `AI_FLAG_PREDICT_INCOMING_MON`, but will likely be expanded in the future.

## `AI_FLAG_PREDICT_INCOMING_MON`
This flag requires `AI_FLAG_PREDICT_SWITCH` to function. If the AI predicts that the player will switch, this flag allows the AI to run its move scoring calculation against the Pokémon it expects the player to switch into, instead of the Pokémon that it expects to switch out.
## `AI_FLAG_SMART_TERA`
AI will make smarter decisions about when to terastalize (over the default behaviour to always tera when available). This considers factors such as whether tera allows the AI to KO the opponent, whether it can save itself from a KO or a big hit, and how many remaining pokemon could terastalize. This behavior is not currently supported in double battles.
## `AI_FLAG_PREDICT_MOVE`
AI will predict what move the player is going to use based on what move it would use in the same situation. Generally works best if also using `AI_FLAG_OMNISCIENT`.
