Pokémon Auto Chess — Beginner's Guide

Pokémon Auto Chess looks busy the first time you open it: eight players, a shop that keeps changing, a board full of Pokémon fighting on their own, numbers flying everywhere. Underneath, it's a small set of rules that all push in the same direction. This guide walks through every one of them, in order, from "what am I even looking at" to "how do I place top four on purpose". No prior auto-battler experience assumed. Written for game version 6.11; the numbers move a little each patch but the ideas don't.
