How does auto-selection work?
For raids/battles, does the selection base on the bosses/defenders only or does it also consider the movesets ?

My observations:
It chooses double resists over single resists even if the stats would make the single better. ((Level 28 Omastar vs Level 38 Vaperon))
It chooses one bar moves over 2 bar moves even when same species and the 2 bar move one is higher level. Dracometer and even Hurricane Dragonites will show even if you have higher level Outrage ones.
From my experience it seems to consider in order of importance:
1. Resistance against boss charge move (double resistance heavily preferred like someone said already)
2. Resistance against boss fast move (I observed this with Suicune where it would give me a maxed Espeon if the fast move was ES)
3. General tankiness (loves Lugia, Ho-Oh, Tyranitar, Rhydon etc.)
4. Attacker charge move (Prefers 1-bar moves, the faster the better. My theory is that the game calculates raw charge move DPS because that explains why Stone Edge and Hydro Pump are its absolute favorites)
5. Attacker fast move (Maybe, I think I've seen it prefer RS Rhydons against gym Blisseys)
