Hello,

So I'm pretty new to nuzlocking FireRed Omega, but I came across something strange. I was facing Brock and I had out a level 14 Barboach. I just had it use Water Gun on the first Geodude which OHKO'd the Pokemon.

The next Pokemon to come out was Kabuto, which I expected to use Absorb since Barboach is 4X weak to, and would obviously go for it compared to the other moves Sand Tomb, Mud Shot, and Water Gun. Anticipating this, I switched to Elekid (because I wasn't lucky enough to get a Grass Type). The AI picked Mud Shot on the switch, and OHKOd my Elekid with a crit.

I tested it multiple times with save states, and it seems random what moves it goes for against Barboach...Is there something obvious I'm missing in this interaction?
