BATTLE TIPS
1. Always check the enemy type before choosing your move
2. STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus): Using a move that matches your Pokemon's type deals 1.5x damage
3. Speed matters — the faster Pokemon attacks first
4. Don't be afraid to switch Pokemon to get a type advantage
5. Use healing items at the right time — don't waste potions on a Pokemon that will be KO'd next turn
6. Status moves can turn the tide of battle
7. Build a team that covers each other's weaknesses
