Random Battle helpers on hover for Pokémon Showdown: possible sets, live-aware damage, and true multi-hit KO%.

hi-chu adds Random Battle helpers to Pokémon Showdown, one hover away. Hover a Pokémon or one of your move buttons and it fills in what you'd otherwise tab out to a calculator or a set dump for: • Which sets are still possible. Hovering a Pokémon narrows the Random Battle sets it could still be running, using only what the battle has made public — moves used, revealed item (held, consumed, or knocked off), ability, and any active Terastallization. On the opponent it answers "what could they still have?"; on your own it mirrors "what have they figured out about me?". • Live-aware damage. It reads the live battle, so active Terastallization, status, stat boosts, revealed ability/item, current HP, weather, terrain, and the defender's screens all feed the calc. The math is delegated to @smogon/calc, so interactions resolve correctly (for example, Guts ignoring a burn's damage cut). • True multi-hit KO%. For moves that hit a random 2–5 times, each rolling its own damage, it shows the per-hit range, the expected hit count, and a real KO chance that integrates over both the rolls and the random hit count — not "k × one roll". It works across most Random Battle formats — standard Gen 9, older gens, and variants like [Gen 9] Champions (with Mega / Z-Move sets surfaced where a format has them) — and it's built to keep growing to cover more. hi-chu is free and open source (MIT).
