Team preview

Gemma 4 31B led with Greattusk1,866 tok · 5.0 s

Ribombee is a likely lead for Sticky Web; Great Tusk is the best choice to pressure the lead or clear webs immediately with Rapid Spin.

Reasoning trace (60 words)

The opponent has Ribombee, which is a common lead for Sticky Web. Great Tusk is a strong lead to prevent Webs with Rapid Spin or pressure the opponent immediately. Dragapult is also a fast, strong option, but Great Tusk's utility and power against the team (especially Kingambit and Gholdengo) make it a reliable lead.

Deciding factor: matchup (preventing Sticky Web/pressure).

Gemma 4 31B switched to Ting-Lu2,281 tok · 9.9 s

Ogerpon-Wellspring is Tera Water and can likely KO Great Tusk with another Horn Leech. Tinglu is the best switch-in as it resists Grass and can handle Ogerpon's attacks.

Reasoning trace (144 words)

Opposing Ogerpon-Wellspring is Tera Water and has +1 SpD. Great Tusk is at 40% HP and is weak to Grass (Horn Leech). Ogerpon is faster than Great Tusk's base speed (110 vs 100, though Tusk has Booster Energy, it's not specified if it's Speed or Attack, but usually Speed for Tusk). Wait, Tusk's speed is 300, Ogerpon's is 110 base. Let's check the stats provided: Tusk SPE: 300, Ogerpon SPE: 110 (base). Actually, the provided stats are the calculated ones. Tusk SPE 300 vs Ogerpon's base 110 (likely around 250-300).

Wait, Ogerpon is Tera Water. Horn Leech is Grass. Great Tusk is Ground/Fighting. Horn Leech is super effective. Great Tusk is at 40% HP. One more Horn Leech will likely KO Tusk.

Tinglu is the best switch-in here as it resists Grass and is very bulky.

Deciding factor: bad matchup to switch out of.

Turn 4

Chimps at the Zoo used Playrough

Gemma 4 31B used Whirlwind2,092 tok · 4.6 s

Ogerpon is at +2 Attack and +1 Special Defense, making it a massive threat. Whirlwind is the best play to force it out and remove those dangerous stat boosts.

Reasoning trace (52 words)

Opposing Ogerpon-Wellspring is at +2 Attack and +1 Special Defense. It is a massive threat to the team. Ting-Lu is the current active Pokémon and can force Ogerpon out.

Deciding factor: bad matchup/threat management. Ogerpon is at +2 Attack; Whirlwind is the best way to remove those boosts and force a switch.

Turn 5

Chimps at the Zoo used Uturn

Gemma 4 31B switched to Gholdengo2,197 tok · 5.5 s

Ting-Lu is at critical HP and Ribombee likely carries Moonblast, which will OHKO. Gholdengo is the ideal switch-in as it is immune to Fairy-type attacks and can pressure Ribombee.

Reasoning trace (63 words)

Ting-Lu is very low on HP (27.2%) and Ribombee is a fast Fairy-type that likely carries Moonblast, which will OHKO Ting-Lu. Ribombee is often a lead used for Sticky Web or Moonblast. Switching to a resist is necessary. Gholdengo is the best switch-in here as it is immune to Fairy moves and can threaten Ribombee.

Deciding factor: bad matchup to switch out of.

Chimps at the Zoo switched to Samurott

Turn 6

Chimps at the Zoo switched to Gholdengo

Gemma 4 31B used Shadowball2,841 tok · 21.4 s

Samurott-Hisui is Water/Dark, making it weak to Fighting. While Focus Blast is super effective, its 70% accuracy is too risky. Shadow Ball provides reliable, neutral damage and maintains pressure.

Reasoning trace (394 words)

Opponent has Samurott-Hisui active. Gholdengo is active. Samurott-Hisui is Water/Dark, making it weak to Fighting. Focus Blast is a high-risk, high-reward move but hits for super effective damage. However, Samurott-Hisui often carries Ceaseless Edge or Razor Shell/Aqua Jet. Gholdengo is not particularly threatened by Water/Dark moves unless it's a very strong hit, but it's not a resist. Dragapult is faster and can hit hard with Shadow Ball. Kingambit resists Dark.

Deciding factor: Matchup. Focus Blast is risky (70% accuracy), but Gholdengo is a strong special attacker. However, switching to Dragapult provides a safer, faster offensive pressure. Wait, Samurott-Hisui is slow (85 speed) compared to Gholdengo (293 stat, but base speed is 84, wait, the provided stats are modified/scaled). Let's look at the stats: Gholdengo SPE 293, Samurott-Hisui base SPE 85. Gholdengo is faster. Focus Blast is the strongest move, but Shadow Ball is reliable. Actually, Dragapult is the fastest and most reliable here. But Gholdengo can potentially OHKO or 2HKO with Focus Blast.

Wait, Samurott-Hisui is Water/Dark. Focus Blast is Fighting. That's 2x. Shadow Ball is Ghost. That's 1x. Make it Rain is Steel. That's 1x.

If I use Focus Blast and miss, I'm open to a big hit. If I switch to Dragapult, I maintain momentum. But Gholdengo is already in. Let's consider the risk. Samurott-Hisui's most common moves are Ceaseless Edge (Dark) and Razor Shell (Water). Gholdengo takes neutral damage from both.

Actually, the best play here is likely Shadow Ball for consistent damage or switching to a safer option. But Gholdengo is a powerhouse. Let's go with Shadow Ball for reliability over the accuracy gamble of Focus Blast.

Wait, looking at the bench, Dragapult is a great switch-in to Samurott-Hisui. But Gholdengo can handle it. Let's use Shadow Ball.

Actually, Focus Blast is the intended play for Gholdengo against Samurott-Hisui in many scenarios, but the accuracy is a liability. Let's check if any other move is better. Shadow Ball is safe.

Wait, Samurott-Hisui is Water/Dark. Focus Blast is 2x. Shadow Ball is 1x.
Let's use Shadow Ball to be safe.

Wait, I see Dragapult is available. Dragapult is much faster and hits hard. But Gholdengo is already out.

Let's go with Shadow Ball.

Wait, looking at the stats again, Gholdengo's SPA is 365. Shadow Ball will do significant damage.

Deciding factor: reliability. Focus Blast is too risky. Shadow Ball is consistent.

Turn 8

Chimps at the Zoo used Moonblast

Gemma 4 31B switched to Dragonite3,091 tok · 24.6 s

Iron Valiant is faster than Gholdengo and possesses moves (Close Combat, Moonblast) that will likely OHKO Gholdengo. Switching to Dragonite allows me to absorb the hit safely via Multiscale and resistance, maintaining my team's health while preparing to finish off the low-HP Iron Valiant.

Reasoning trace (498 words)

Iron Valiant is at 26% HP. Gholdengo's Shadow Ball is a strong neutral hit. Iron Valiant is faster than Gholdengo (Base 116 vs Base 84), but at 26% HP, Shadow Ball should be a likely knockout if it survives the hit, or Gholdengo might be knocked out first. However, Iron Valiant is very low. Let's check if Shadow Ball finishes it.

Wait, Iron Valiant is Fairy/Fighting. Shadow Ball is Ghost. It's neutral. Make it Rain is Steel, which is resisted by Fairy. Focus Blast is Fighting, which is neutral.

Iron Valiant is likely to use Close Combat or Moonblast. Close Combat is 4x effective against Gholdengo (Steel/Ghost). Moonblast is 2x effective. Gholdengo will likely be knocked out.

However, if I switch to something that resists Fighting/Fairy, like Dragonite (resists Fighting, neutral to Fairy) or Tinglu (resists Fighting, neutral to Fairy), I can preserve Gholdengo. But Iron Valiant is at 26% HP. If I can KO it, I remove a threat.

Wait, Iron Valiant is faster. If it attacks, Gholdengo dies. If I switch to Dragonite, I take a hit on Multiscale and can potentially KO back or set up.

Actually, looking at the HP, Iron Valiant is very low. Shadow Ball is the most reliable move to finish it if Gholdengo survives, but Gholdengo won't survive a Close Combat.

Is there a better play? Switching to Dragonite is the safest play to absorb the hit and maintain momentum. But Iron Valiant is so low that it might be forced to switch or try a desperate move.

Actually, Shadow Ball is the best bet to trade or KO if Iron Valiant doesn't have a move that OHKOs Gholdengo (which it almost certainly does).

Wait, Iron Valiant is at 26%. Shadow Ball should definitely KO it. The deciding factor is whether Gholdengo survives. It won't. But if I switch to Dragonite, I take a hit and can then attack.

Let's consider the opponent's team: Ogerpon-W, Ribombee, Samurott-H, Gholdengo (7%), Kingambit.

If I switch to Dragonite, I'm safe. If I stay in, I risk Gholdengo.

Actually, the most competitive play here is to switch to a resist to force Iron Valiant out or take minimal damage. Dragonite is the best choice.

Wait, I just realized Iron Valiant is at 26%. If I use Shadow Ball and it's a trade, I've removed a fast threat. But Gholdengo is more valuable.

Let's look at the speed: Iron Valiant (116) > Gholdengo (84).
Iron Valiant will move first.
Close Combat will OHKO Gholdengo.
Moonblast will likely OHKO Gholdengo.

Switching to Dragonite:
Iron Valiant uses Close Combat -> Dragonite takes minimal damage (Multiscale + resist).
Iron Valiant uses Moonblast -> Dragonite takes moderate damage (Multiscale).

Decision: Switch to Dragonite to safely handle the low-HP Iron Valiant.

Wait, looking at the legal actions, I can switch to Dragonite.

Actually, if I switch to Dragonite, I can then use Extreme Speed or Earthquake to finish Iron Valiant next turn.

Deciding factor: bad matchup (Gholdengo vs Iron Valiant).

Opposing Gholdengo is at 7% HP and is weak to Ground. Earthquake will easily secure the knockout.

Reasoning trace (38 words)

The opposing Gholdengo is at 7% HP. Dragonite's Earthquake is super effective against Steel types. Even though Gholdengo is a Ghost type (immune to Fighting, but not Ground), Earthquake will easily knock it out.

Gemma 4 31B switched to Gholdengo2,963 tok · 18.2 s

Dragonite is in a bad matchup against Tera Water Ogerpon, which can heal with Horn Leech or boost with Swords Dance. Gholdengo resists Grass and can threaten Ogerpon with Make It Rain.

Reasoning trace (303 words)

Opponent's Ogerpon-Wellspring (Tera Water) is at 63% HP with +1 SPD. Dragonite is at 54% HP. Ogerpon has Horn Leech, Swords Dance, and Play Rough. Dragonite is slow compared to Ogerpon (224 vs 110 base, but Ogerpon is faster in actual stats usually, though Dragonite's stats here are 224 speed? Wait, Dragonite's speed is 224, Ogerpon's base is 110. Let's check the stats provided: Dragonite SPE: 224, Ogerpon's base is 110. Wait, the stats provided are the *calculated* stats. Dragonite SPE 224, Ogerpon's base is 110, but its actual speed isn't listed. Usually, Ogerpon is faster than non-DD Dragonite).

Actually, looking at the stats: Dragonite SPE 224. Ogerpon base SPE 110. Dragonite's 224 is likely its actual stat. Ogerpon's actual stat isn't listed, but base 110 at level 100 is around 200-230.

Ogerpon is Tera Water. Dragonite's Extreme Speed is priority. Earthquake is neutral. Dragonite is at 54% HP. Ogerpon can use Horn Leech to heal or Swords Dance to sweep.

Switching to Kingambit or Gholdengo provides a better matchup against Ogerpon's Water/Grass/Fairy coverage. Kingambit resists nothing but is bulky. Gholdengo resists Grass and is neutral to Water/Fairy.

Wait, Dragonite's Extreme Speed is priority and does decent damage. But Ogerpon is Tera Water, so it's not weak to anything Dragonite has except maybe a Tera move.

The deciding factor is the bad matchup; Dragonite cannot safely stay in against a Tera Water Ogerpon that can Swords Dance or Horn Leech. Switching to Gholdengo or Kingambit is safer. Gholdengo resists Grass and can hit hard with Make It Rain.

Actually, Gholdengo is a great switch-in here.

Gholdengo outspeeds Samurott-Hisui. While Focus Blast is super effective, its 70% accuracy is too risky; Shadow Ball provides consistent, neutral damage to chip away at Samurott's full HP.

Reasoning trace (365 words)

Opposing Samurott-Hisui is active. Gholdengo is active. Samurott-Hisui is Water/Dark, making it weak to Fighting. Focus Blast is a strong option but inaccurate. Shadow Ball is neutral. Make it Rain is resisted. Nasty Plot is risky.

Deciding factor: Matchup. Samurott-Hisui is weak to Fighting, and Focus Blast is the only move Gholdengo has that hits it for super effective damage. However, switching to a safer counter or using a consistent move might be better. But wait, Gholdengo is quite fast compared to Samurott-Hisui (293 vs 85 base speed equivalent).

Wait, looking at the stats: Gholdengo's speed is 293, Samurott-Hisui's base speed is 85. Gholdengo likely outspeeds. Focus Blast is high risk/high reward. Shadow Ball is consistent.

Actually, looking at the bench, Dragapult is a great switch-in or attacker, but Gholdengo can potentially OHKO or 2HKO. However, Samurott-Hisui often carries Ceaseless Edge or Razor Shell/Aqua Jet.

Let's consider the opponent's remaining team: Ogerpon-W (Tera Water), Ribombee, Gholdengo (7%), Iron Valiant (26%). Samurott-Hisui is at 100%.

Focus Blast is the strongest move, but Shadow Ball is safer. However, in competitive play, if you have the speed advantage and a super effective move, you take the shot or switch to a more reliable wall. Tinglu is too low. Great Tusk is low. Kingambit is a good switch-in to resist Water/Dark (though not really, it's weak to Fighting, but Samurott isn't Fighting). Kingambit resists nothing from Samurott.

Actually, Shadow Ball is a very safe and strong move here. Focus Blast is too risky (70% accuracy).

Wait, Samurott-Hisui is Water/Dark. Shadow Ball is neutral. Focus Blast is super effective.
Let's check if Shadow Ball does enough. Gholdengo's SPA is 365.
Shadow Ball is likely to do significant damage.

Is there a better switch? Dragapult is fast and hits hard.
But Gholdengo is already in. Let's go with Shadow Ball for consistency.

Wait, Samurott-Hisui is often used as a lead for Ceaseless Edge. If it's already out, it might just be attacking.
Shadow Ball is the most reliable move that doesn't risk a miss or a resisted hit.

Actually, looking at the opponent's team, they have a very weakened Gholdengo and Iron Valiant. Taking out Samurott is priority.

Decision: Shadow Ball.

Gemma 4 31B switched to Kingambit2,757 tok · 13.1 s

Gholdengo is weak to Samurott-Hisui's Dark STAB and cannot safely stay in. Kingambit is the best switch-in as it resists Dark moves and can threaten the opponent.

Reasoning trace (213 words)

Opponent has Samurott-Hisui active. My Gholdengo is active. Samurott-Hisui is Water/Dark, making it weak to Fighting. Focus Blast is a strong option but inaccurate. However, switching to a safer counter or using a reliable move is key. Dragapult is fast and can hit hard, but Samurott-Hisui might have priority or strong STAB. Kingambit is a great switch-in to resist Dark moves.

Wait, Samurott-Hisui is Water/Dark. Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost. Gholdengo is weak to Dark. Samurott-Hisui likely has Razor Shell, Ceaseless Edge, or Aqua Jet. A Dark move from Samurott-Hisui will likely OHKO or severely damage Gholdengo.

Deciding factor: bad matchup. Gholdengo is very vulnerable to Samurott-Hisui's STAB Dark moves. Switching to Kingambit or Dragapult is safer. Kingambit resists Dark and can threaten back. Dragapult outspeeds and hits hard. Given the current state, Kingambit is the most reliable switch-in to absorb a Dark hit.

Actually, Dragapult is faster and can potentially OHKO or deal massive damage with Shadow Ball or Draco Meteor. But Kingambit is the safer defensive play. Let's look at the bench: Great Tusk is low, Tinglu is very low. Kingambit is full health.

Wait, Samurott-Hisui's Ceaseless Edge sets spikes. If I switch, I might take spikes. But staying in with Gholdengo is suicide.

Let's go with Kingambit to resist the Dark STAB.

The opposing Gholdengo is at 7% HP. Kowtow Cleave is a guaranteed knockout regardless of speed or the opponent's move.

Reasoning trace (126 words)

The opponent's Gholdengo is at 7% HP. Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave or Sucker Punch will easily knock it out. Since Gholdengo is slower than Kingambit (Base 84 vs Base 50, but Kingambit's current stats show 147 vs Gholdengo's 84? Wait, let me re-check the stats provided).

Wait, the stats provided for Kingambit are: SPE: 147.
The stats provided for Gholdengo are: Base SPE 84.
Actually, looking at the provided stats:
Kingambit: SPE 147
Opponent Gholdengo: Base SPE 84 (Actual stat not listed, but usually around 160-200).
Regardless of speed, Kowtow Cleave is a guaranteed OHKO on 7% HP. Sucker Punch is also an OHKO but depends on the opponent attacking. Kowtow Cleave is the safest and most reliable way to secure the knockout.

Deciding factor: likely knockout.

Ogerpon-Wellspring (Tera Water) is a bad matchup for the paralyzed Kingambit. Gholdengo resists Water and can threaten Ogerpon with Make It Rain.

Reasoning trace (226 words)

Opposing Ogerpon-Wellspring is Tera-Water and has +1 SPD. Kingambit is paralyzed. Ogerpon likely has Ivy Cudgel (though not revealed, it's standard) or Horn Leech/Play Rough. Kingambit is a bad matchup here due to the speed disadvantage (even if paralyzed, Ogerpon is faster) and the likely Water/Grass coverage.

Deciding factor: bad matchup. I need a switch to a Pokémon that can handle Ogerpon-Water. Gholdengo is a good check to Water/Grass, and Dragapult is fast. However, Gholdengo resists Water and is immune to Grass (if it were Grass, but it's Tera Water). Actually, Gholdengo resists Water and is neutral to Water (wait, Steel resists Water). Gholdengo is a strong switch-in.

Wait, Ogerpon-Wellspring Tera Water. Gholdengo resists Water. Great Tusk is also an option but is low HP. Dragonite resists Water/Grass.

Let's look at the opponent's team: Samurott-H, Gholdengo (critically low), Ogerpon.
If I switch to Gholdengo, I can threaten with Make It Rain. If I switch to Dragonite, I can potentially set up or use Extreme Speed.

Gholdengo is the safest bet to wall the Water-type attacks.

Wait, Ogerpon-Wellspring Tera Water. It still has Horn Leech (Grass). Gholdengo is neutral to Grass. Dragonite resists Grass.

Gholdengo is in a bad matchup against Tera Water Ogerpon and is likely to be knocked out by a Water-type move. Dragonite resists both Water and Grass, making it the safest switch-in.

Reasoning trace (225 words)

Opposing Ogerpon-Wellspring is Tera Water and has +1 SPD. Gholdengo is at 38.4% HP. Ogerpon has Horn Leech, Swords Dance, and Play Rough. Gholdengo is weak to Water (if Ogerpon has a water move) and Ogerpon's Horn Leech is neutral. Gholdengo's Steel moves are resisted by Water. Shadow Ball is neutral.

Deciding factor: Bad matchup. Gholdengo cannot effectively damage Tera Water Ogerpon and is likely to be knocked out by a strong attack (like Ivy Cudgel, though not revealed, it's standard on Wellspring). Switching to a better check is necessary.

Dragonite or Great Tusk are better options. Dragonite resists Water and Grass. Great Tusk resists Water (if it has the right build) but is weak to Grass. Dragonite is the safest switch.

Wait, looking at the legal actions, I have Dragonite. Dragonite resists Water and Grass.

Wait, Ogerpon-Wellspring Tera Water.
Gholdengo's moves: Shadow Ball (neutral), Make it Rain (resisted), Focus Blast (neutral).
Ogerpon's moves: Horn Leech (neutral), Play Rough (resisted), Swords Dance.

Ogerpon is +2 Attack and Tera Water, making it a massive threat that will OHKO Dragonite. Dragapult is the only remaining Pokémon that outspeeds it to potentially chip or pivot.

Reasoning trace (504 words)

Opposing Ogerpon-Wellspring is Tera Water, +2 Atk, +1 SpD. It's a massive threat. Dragonite is at 54% HP. Ogerpon likely has Ivy Cudgel (Water) or Horn Leech. Dragonite is slow compared to Ogerpon (224 vs 110 base, but Ogerpon is faster naturally).

Wait, Dragonite's speed is 224, Ogerpon's base is 110. Let's check actual stats. Dragonite is likely not faster. Ogerpon at +2 Atk will likely OHKO Dragonite with almost any attack.

Switching to a bulkier option or a check is necessary. Tinglu is very low (27%). Great Tusk is at 40%. Kingambit is at 100% but paralyzed. Dragapult is at 100%.

Ogerpon-Water is weak to Grass (not available) and Electric (not available). It's resisted by Water, Grass, and Dragon (if not Tera).

Actually, the best switch is likely Dragapult for speed or Kingambit for bulk, but Ogerpon has Horn Leech (Grass) which hits Kingambit and Tusk.

Wait, Ogerpon is Tera Water. It no longer has the Grass typing, but it still has Horn Leech.

If I switch to Dragapult, I can potentially hit it hard or U-turn out. But Ogerpon is +2 Atk.

Let's look at the matchup. Ogerpon is +2 Atk. Dragonite cannot take another hit.
Tinglu is the best special wall, but Ogerpon is physical.
Great Tusk is a physical wall but Ogerpon's +2 attacks will shred it.
Kingambit is bulky but paralyzed.

Wait, Dragapult is the fastest. But can it kill?
Actually, the most reliable play here is to switch to a Pokémon that can handle a +2 Tera Water Ogerpon.
Tinglu is the bulkiest physical tank left, despite the low HP.
However, Dragapult's speed allows it to move first.

Wait, Ogerpon is Tera Water. It's no longer Grass/Water, just Water.
Dragonite is Dragon/Flying.
If I use Extreme Speed, it's priority, but +2 Ogerpon is too bulky.
If I use Earthquake, it's neutral.

The deciding factor is the +2 Attack boost on Ogerpon; Dragonite cannot survive another hit. Switching to Dragapult allows for a fast attack or a pivot.

Actually, looking at the bench, Dragapult is the only one that can outspeed and potentially threaten. But Ogerpon is Tera Water.

Let's reconsider Tinglu. Even at 27%, it's the best bet to soak a hit if it's not a super effective move. But Ogerpon has Horn Leech.

Wait, the best play is likely switching to Dragapult to maintain momentum or try to chip. But actually, Kingambit is the safest switch-in for a physical attacker if it doesn't have a fighting move. Ogerpon has Play Rough (Fairy) and Horn Leech (Grass).

Actually, the best move is to switch to Dragapult to outspeed and potentially use Shadow Ball or U-turn.

Wait, Ogerpon is Tera Water. It's weak to Electric and Grass. I have neither.
I need to stop the sweep.
Dragapult is the only one that outspeeds.

The opponent's Gholdengo is at critical HP (7%). My Dragapult just fainted. I need to bring in a Pokémon that can finish it off or safely switch. Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost. Great Tusk's Close Combat or Headlong Rush (though not super effective) or Dragonite's Earthquake would easily KO it. However, the opponent also has a +2 Ogerpon-Wellspring on the bench.

Deciding factor: likely knockout. Gholdengo is at 7% HP; almost any attack from my remaining team will KO it. Great Tusk is a strong choice to maintain pressure.

Wait, looking at the legal actions, I must switch since Dragapult fainted. Great Tusk is the most reliable offensive pivot here.

The opponent's Gholdengo is at 7% HP. My Great Tusk just fainted. I need to bring in a Pokémon that can finish it off or survive a hit. Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost. Kingambit is Dark/Steel, and its Sucker Punch or Kowtow Cleave will easily KO a 7% HP Gholdengo. Dragonite's Extreme Speed would also work. Tinglu is too slow. Gholdengo is too slow.

Deciding factor: A likely knockout. Kingambit's Sucker Punch or Kowtow Cleave will finish the weakened Gholdengo.

Wait, Gholdengo is at 7% HP. Any attack will likely kill it. Kingambit is the safest and strongest switch-in here.

Wait, let me check the speed. Gholdengo (Base 84) vs Kingambit (Base 50). Gholdengo is faster. However, Gholdengo's moves are likely Shadow Ball or Make It Rain. Kingambit resists both. Sucker Punch is priority.

However, Kingambit has Sucker Punch for priority.
Kowtow Cleave is a strong STAB move.
Samurott-Hisui is likely to use Ceaseless Edge again.
Sucker Punch will hit first if Samurott uses an attacking move.
Kowtow Cleave is more reliable if Samurott switches or uses a status move, but Sucker Punch is the priority play here to avoid taking damage.
Actually, Kowtow Cleave is very strong and Samurott is not very bulky.
Deciding factor: priority/speed. Sucker Punch allows me to hit first if they attack.

Reasoning trace (374 words)

The opponent has Samurott-Hisui active. I have Kingambit active. Samurott-Hisui's main move so far has been Ceaseless Edge. Kingambit is paralyzed. Samurott-Hisui is slower than Kingambit (Base 85 vs Base 50, but Kingambit's actual speed is 147 and Samurott's is likely around 160-200 depending on investment, though Kingambit is paralyzed).

Wait, looking at the stats: Kingambit SPE: 147. Samurott-Hisui Base SPE is 85. Even with paralysis, Kingambit might be slower or faster depending on Samurott's investment. However, Kowtow Cleave is a strong, reliable STAB move that hits Samurott-Hisui for super effective damage (Dark/Water is weak to Fighting, but Kingambit is Dark/Steel). Actually, Dark is not super effective against Dark.

Wait, Samurott-Hisui is Water/Dark. Kingambit is Dark/Steel.
Kowtow Cleave (Dark) vs Water/Dark: Not very effective.
Iron Head (Steel) vs Water/Dark: Neutral.

Samurott-Hisui's Ceaseless Edge is Dark, which is not very effective against Kingambit.
The opponent's only remaining healthy Pokémon is Ogerpon-Wellspring.
Kingambit is the best bet to deal with Samurott-Hisui if I can chip it down or force a switch.
However, Kowtow Cleave and Sucker Punch are resisted. Iron Head is neutral.

Wait, Samurott-Hisui is Water/Dark.
Dark moves are resisted by Dark types.
Steel moves are neutral.
Fighting moves would be super effective, but Kingambit doesn't have any.

Is there a better switch?
Tinglu (Dark/Ground) - also resists Dark, but doesn't hit Samurott hard.
Gholdengo (Steel/Ghost) - resists Dark (no, Ghost is neutral, Steel is neutral).
Dragonite (Dragon/Flying) - neutral.

Actually, Kingambit's Iron Head is the strongest neutral hit. But Samurott is likely to keep using Ceaseless Edge or switch to Ogerpon. If it switches to Ogerpon, Iron Head is super effective. If it stays, Iron Head does decent damage.

Deciding factor: Samurott-Hisui is Water/Dark, so Dark moves are resisted. Iron Head is the best attacking option here.

Wait, let me re-check the type chart.
Dark vs Dark: 0.5x.
Steel vs Water/Dark: 1x.
Kingambit's Iron Head is the most effective move.

Wait, is Samurott-Hisui holding something? It's at 100% HP.
