Acuity is an AI agent for The Pokémon Company's PTCG AI Battle Challenge. It plays a real Standard-format deck and is built to do one thing competitors rarely can: explain what it knows. Every move comes with the options it considered, the score of each, the named features that drove the choice, and what it believed the opponent's deck was.
See it think. The Battle Replay plays a recorded game turn-by-turn with the agent's reasoning alongside each decision.
Why explainability
The Challenge's Strategy Division is judged on a written account of an agent's strategic logic. Acuity never uses a neural net at play time — it deliberates with transparent search over named, deck-agnostic features. That makes the reasons it shows real structured data, not a post-hoc story. The replay is the interactive companion to that report.
How a move is made
- The engine hands the agent a set of legal options at each decision.
- A forward search looks ahead through candidate lines and scores them.
- An opponent model infers the likely archetype and feeds that back in.
- The chosen option, its rollouts, and the feature contributions all become the reasoning you see.
