<Molk> because tibot is legitimately the best bot
Hello Smogon.
TIBot is an IRC bot that I started developing about 10 months ago. It contains numerous features that I have implemented over the months to help with teambuilding, battling, or just to learn about the various elements that make up Pokemon. The source of informational commands, such as !data and !learn, is Pokemon Showdown.
The purpose of this thread is to show you how to utilize TIBot to its maximum potential, because many of you that frequent IRC are unaware about all its features. In addition, you can also request new features to be added or changes to current ones.
The list of TIBot commands can be viewed by using !tibot. This will bring up a list of Pokemon related commands and another of general commands. To view the syntax of a specific command, use the command without any parameters. In this thread, I will focus on the Pokemon commands.
