About

hi-chu adds Random Battle helpers to Pokémon Showdown, one hover away. Hover a
Pokémon or one of your move buttons and it fills in what you'd otherwise tab out
to a calculator or a set dump for:

• Which sets are still possible. Hovering a Pokémon narrows the Random Battle
  sets it could still be running, using only what the battle has made public —
  moves used, revealed item (held, consumed, or knocked off), ability, and any
  active Terastallization. On the opponent it answers "what could they still
  have?"; on your own it mirrors "what have they figured out about me?".

• Live-aware damage. It reads the live battle, so active Terastallization, status,
  stat boosts, revealed ability/item, current HP, weather, terrain, and the
  defender's screens all feed the calc. The math is delegated to @smogon/calc, so
  interactions resolve correctly (for example, Guts ignoring a burn's damage cut).

• True multi-hit KO%. For moves that hit a random 2–5 times, each rolling its own
  damage, it shows the per-hit range, the expected hit count, and a real KO chance
  that integrates over both the rolls and the random hit count — not "k × one roll".

It works across most Random Battle formats — standard Gen 9, older gens, and
variants like [Gen 9] Champions (with Mega / Z-Move sets surfaced where a format
has them) — and it's built to keep growing to cover more.

hi-chu is free and open source (MIT). It collects no data. It was inspired by the
closed-source "Randbats Tooltip" — a fresh, open, maintained take on the same
convenience.
