Question, this implementation means Zero to Hero will only prompt switches if the AI sees it has a good switchin candidate. Is Zero to Hero worth switching for even if the AI doesn't have a good switchin candidate? If so we don't need need the mostSuitableMonId check, if it isn't worth it then everything's fine as is :)
(I know nothing about Palafin other than hearing that it needs to switch from you)

I would say a bad switch-in is also preferable - even if the mon you send out dies because it's at low health or whatever, it still powers up Palafin. If anything, I would actually encourage some sort of viability curve where medium health is discouraged, but high HP and low HP are both discouraged (either because they're a good switch-in according to the AI, or because they likely served their use and can be sacrificed to power up Palafin who is likely to be more useful in battle than them at that point)

Yeah, I wrote this thinking that Palafin wants to switch at all costs so I'll tweak it

Hmm if I remove this, then it will always switch and won't use a pivoting move when it should probably prioritize pivoting moves.
Description
Adds logic for the AI to use Palafin properly. If it has Flip Turn (or some other pivoting move somehow) it'll always prioritize using it to get Zero to Hero to activate as soon as possible. If it doesn't have or can't use a pivoting move, it always tries to switch Palafin-Zero out as well.
