LadderDiscordBot.py

"""
I run this file overnight so the bot continues to fight until I turn it off in the morning. I wanted to know the highest
rating the bot got over night so I used a discord bot to send me a message whenever a new record was reached. It was
made specifically for generation 8 random battles but should work for all formats. This file requires you to have
downloaded PokeBot and installed discord.py and poke_env.
