GreattuskGreat Tusk is the most reliable lead for setting Stealth Rock and handling opposing Great Tusk or Ogerpon-W.
Reasoning trace (52 words)
The opponent has a standard Gen 9 OU core (Tusk, Gholdengo, Kingambit, Pult, Ogerpon-W, Clodsire). Great Tusk is the most reliable lead for setting Stealth Rock and handling opposing Tusk or Ogerpon-W. Iron Valiant is also a strong lead for pressure, but Tusk provides more utility early on. Deciding factor: utility/hazard control.
MiMo V2.6 Flash led withClodsireClodsire is the safest lead into this matchup — its Poison/Ground typing and Unaware ability let it absorb hits from Great Tusk, Iron Valiant, and Slowking-Galar while setting up Toxic Spikes, which are very strong against this team. No single opponent lead threatens an immediate knockout on Clodsire.
Reasoning trace (35 words)
Clodsire is a strong lead here: it checks Iron Valiant, Great Tusk, Slowking-Galar (poison spikes), and Ogerpon-Wellspring somewhat. Gholdengo lead is also solid for spinblocking but faces Slowking Galar with Psyshock/Sludge Bomb. Clodsire seems safest.

KnockoffMiMo V2.6 Flash usedToxicspikesClodsire walls Great Tusk's hits well with Unaware and huge special bulk, so there's no immediate danger. Setting Toxic Spikes turn 1 gives lasting value against the opponent's grounded team, and Tusk can't threaten a knockout here.
Reasoning trace (46 words)
Clodsire vs Great Tusk. Clodsire has Unaware and high SpD. Great Tusk likely uses Headlong Rush or Close Combat. Clodsire can set Toxic Spikes safely; it's turn 1. Setting TSpikes is good long-term. Earthquake would do decent damage too but Tusk may switch. I'll go toxicspikes.

RapidspinMiMo V2.6 Flash usedRecoverClodsire's physical defense is low and Great Tusk likely has a powerful Ground or Fighting move coming. Recovering keeps Clodsire healthy to continue walling and maintaining Toxic Spikes pressure.
Reasoning trace (352 words)
Clodsire is at 71.6%, facing Great Tusk. Tusk knocked off leftovers. Tusk likely has Headlong Rush or Close Combat next. Clodsire's special defense is huge but physical defense is low. Great Tusk's Headlong Rush would do significant damage. Recovering seems safe to stay healthy, or switch to a physical wall. Actually, Clodsire with Unaware is good defensively. Great Tusk's physical moves would hurt Clodsire (157 DEF). Headlong Rush from 299 ATK Tusk vs 157 DEF Clodsire... that would be a lot. Let me think - Clodsire has 464 HP, 157 DEF. Headlong Rush 100 BP STAB from 299 ATK... roughly 60-70% damage. That would put Clodsire in danger. Switching to something that resists Fighting/Ground... Dragapult resists neither but is fast. Ogerpon-Wellspring resists Water but not Fighting/Ground. Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost - resists Fighting, immune to Ground... wait, Steel resists Fighting, Ghost is immune to... no, Ghost doesn't resist Ground. Steel/Ghost takes neutral from Ground (Steel resists, Ghost neutral = neutral... actually Steel resists Ground? No, Steel does NOT resist Ground. Steel resists: Normal, Flying, Rock, Bug, Steel, Grass, Psychic, Ice, Dragon, Fairy. Not Ground. So Gholdengo takes neutral from Ground, resists Fighting. Kingambit (Dark/Steel) resists Fighting, takes neutral from Ground. Actually, switching to Gholdengo seems good - it resists Fighting moves and can threaten back with Make It Rain or set up Nasty Plot. But if Tusk uses Earthquake/Headlong Rush, Gholdengo takes neutral damage which could be significant. Recovering on Clodsire keeps it healthy to keep absorbing hits. But Tusk could just keep attacking. I think switching to Gholdengo is good - it walls Fighting moves and threatens with Make It Rain. But Headlong Rush would still do decent damage. Actually, let me reconsider. Clodsire at 71.6% with Recover can heal back up. Tusk's physical attacks are the threat. Recovering seems like the safe play to keep Clodsire as a wall. But if Tusk uses Headlong Rush and does ~60%, Clodsire would be at ~10% after Recover + hit... no, Recover heals 50% so Clodsire goes to 100%, then takes 60% = 40%. That's fine. I'll go with Recover to keep Clodsire healthy.

StealthrockClodsire is passive and cannot stop Stealth Rock. Setting hazards now puts pressure on the opponent's team, especially Dragapult and Ogerpon.
Reasoning trace (47 words)
The opponent's Clodsire is a passive wall. I have already removed the Toxic Spikes and gained a speed boost. Setting up Stealth Rock now puts pressure on the opponent's team (especially Dragapult and Ogerpon) and forces Clodsire to either switch or continue stalling. Deciding factor: Setting hazards.
MiMo V2.6 Flash switched toDragapultClodsire is weak to Ground, and the opposing Tusk likely has Headlong Rush. Dragapult is immune to Fighting and takes only neutral Ground, making it the safest switch while keeping momentum with U-turn next turn.
Reasoning trace (550 words)
Opponent's Great Tusk at +1 speed, likely will use Headlong Rush or Close Combat. Clodsire can tank it with Unaware... actually Unaware ignores opponent's boosts but that's for attacking stats. Tusk's Headlong Rush would do significant damage. Clodsire's physical defense is low (157). Switching to Gholdengo seems good—it's immune to Ground (Headlong Rush), resists... actually Fighting moves would hurt it. But Tusk revealed only Knock Off and Rapid Spin. Likely Tusk uses Headlong Rush or Close Combat next. Switching to Dragapult: immune to Fighting, but weak to nothing relevant... Ground doesn't affect it. Dragapult resists neither... it's Dragon/Ghost: immune to Normal and Fighting, Ground hits it neutrally? No, Dragon/Ghost takes neutral from Ground. Hmm. Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost: immune to Fighting and Poison, resists... Ground hits Steel neutrally? No, Steel takes neutral from Ground. Wait, Ground hits Steel for neutral? Steel is weak to Fire, Fighting, Ground. Yes, Steel is weak to Ground! So Gholdengo takes 2x from Ground. If opponent uses Headlong Rush, Gholdengo takes super effective. Dragapult takes neutral from Ground but is immune to Fighting. If opponent uses Close Combat, Dragapult immune. Clodsire can just Recover or use Earthquake. Clodsire with Unaware and huge SpD... but physical defense is low. Tusk's Headlong Rush at +1... Clodsire at 464 HP with 157 Def. Headlong Rush from Tusk (299 Atk maybe) would do a lot. Actually, Clodsire's Unaware ignores the opponent's stat boosts when they attack Clodsire. So +1 Atk... wait, Tusk's boost is SPE not ATK. Protosynthesis boosts... Tusk's item unknown, but boost is SPE+1 from Rapid Spin. So Tusk at neutral Atk using Headlong Rush on Clodsire. Clodsire resists... Ground vs Poison/Ground: Ground hits Poison for 1x? Poison resists... no. Ground is not very effective against Poison? Actually Ground hits Poison for 1x... wait: Poison is weak to Ground. So Ground vs Poison/Ground = 1x (weakness cancels resistance? No, Poison doesn't resist Ground). Hmm, Poison resists... Poison resists Fighting, Poison, Bug, Grass, Fairy. Ground hits Poison super effectively? No—Poison is weak to Ground. So Ground vs Poison/Ground = 2x from Poison weakness, 1x from Ground... wait Ground is not very effective against... Grass, Bug. So Ground vs Ground = 1x. So Ground vs Poison/Ground = 2x? No wait: Poison is weak to Ground (2x), Ground takes 1x from Ground. Combined = 2x. Hmm, but Clodsire is a common Tusk switch-in because... actually no, Tusk's Headlong Rush would hurt Clodsire. But Clodsire has Unaware and huge SpD. Actually, Clodsire is typically used to take special hits. Physical Tusk would hurt it. Best play: switch to Dragapult? If Tusk uses Headlong Rush, Dragapult takes neutral (Dragon/Ghost: Ground hits Dragon 1x, Ghost 1x = 1x). If Close Combat, Dragapult immune. Dragapult is fast (421 > Tusk's +1 speed... Tusk base 87, +1... Tusk's SPE stat shown as 300 base? The stat shown is 300 for my Tusk. Opponent's Tusk at +1. Actually, switching to Dragapult seems safe-ish. Or just Earthquake with Clodsire for damage. Given uncertainty, I'd switch to Dragapult to avoid a super-effective Headlong Rush on Clodsire. But if opponent uses Rapid Spin again or Knock Off... Dragapult loses boots. Alternatively, Clodsire could just Recover to stay healthy. But Tusk at +1 speed outspeeds and could 2HKO. I'll go with switching to Dragapult—it's immune to Fighting and takes neutral Ground.

KingambitDragapult is a bad matchup for Great Tusk, as Tusk is passive and cannot hit it with Earthquake. Switching to Kingambit provides a safe resist and a strong counter to Dragapult.
Reasoning trace (169 words)
The opponent has switched in Dragapult. Great Tusk is currently active and has +1 Speed from Rapid Spin. Dragapult is extremely fast, but Great Tusk's +1 Speed might make it competitive or still slower depending on the Dragapult's investment. However, Great Tusk cannot hit Dragapult with Earthquake or Rapid Spin (Ghost type). Knock Off is the only attacking move that works. Deciding factor: bad matchup. Great Tusk is passive against Dragapult and risks taking a heavy hit (Shadow Ball or Draco Meteor). Switching to a counter like Kingambit or Gholdengo is safer. Kingambit resists Ghost and is a hard counter to Dragapult. Wait, Gholdengo is also a great switch-in as it resists Ghost and can threaten Dragapult. But Kingambit is the most reliable answer to Dragapult's typical sets. Actually, looking at the stats: Dragapult's base speed is 142. Great Tusk's base speed is 87. With +1, Tusk is faster than some things, but likely not a max speed Dragapult. Switching to Kingambit is the safest play to wall Dragapult.
MiMo V2.6 Flash usedWillowispDragapult outspeeds Great Tusk even at +1 speed, so I can land a burn with Willowisp to halve its physical attack and neuter it as a threat. Knock Off or a physical STAB from Tusk would hurt, and the burn also helps any physical trade later.
Reasoning trace (190 words)
Dragapult is faster than Great Tusk even at +1 speed? Dragapult SPE 421, Tusk base 87 with +1... Tusk speed at +1 would be roughly... Dragapult at 421 is very fast. Tusk's effective speed with +1 boost - Tusk base 87, probably around 250ish base, +1 = ~375? Actually can't calculate precisely but Dragapult likely outspeeds. Dragondarts does good damage to Great Tusk. But Tusk threatens back with Knock Off or Headlong Rush (not revealed but likely). Willowisp would cripple Tusk's physical attack. Tusk is a physical attacker; burn would halve its attack. Great Tusk at +1 speed could outspeed... uncertain. Let's think: Dragapult base 142, Tusk base 87. Even at +1 (1.5x), Tusk's speed would be roughly 87*2+... in competitive terms, Tusk max speed ~247, +1 = ~370. Dragapult at 421 outspeeds. So Dragapult moves first. Willowisp burns Tusk, crippling it. But accuracy 0.85. Dragondarts deals solid damage. Actually the deciding factor: Willowisp cripples Tusk as physical attacker, but Tusk could switch. U-turn gives momentum. I'd go with willowisp to burn the Tusk. Actually, U-turn preserves momentum and deals damage. But burning Tusk is valuable long-term. I'll choose willowisp.

GholdengoMiMo V2.6 Flash usedUturnKingambit is burned, so its attacks are halved and Dragapult outspeeds it easily. U-turn gives safe damage plus momentum to bring in a better matchup without risking a sucker punch or a potential Tera from their Kingambit.
Reasoning trace (93 words)
Kingambit is burned already, so its attacks are halved. Dragapult is faster. Sucker Punch could hit Dragapult but burn halves it. Dragapult can U-turn out for momentum, or attack. Kingambit at 94% burned — Dragon Darts would do decent damage. But Kingambit might Tera. U-turn gives momentum and safe damage. Actually, Kingambit is burned and slow; Dragapult outspeeds. Dragon Darts is STAB and would chunk it. But sucker punch priority — burn halves it, Dragapult has 317 HP, fine. U-turn is safe: damage + switch to a better matchup. I'll go with U-turn.
MiMo V2.6 Flash switched toClodsireGholdengo threatens a Steel or Ghost special attack, and Dragapult can't stay in safely. Clodsire's Poison/Ground typing resists Make It Rain and its huge special bulk handles Shadow Ball, making it the safest switch.
Reasoning trace (120 words)
Dragapult vs Gholdengo. Gholdengo threatens Make It Rain/Shadow Ball. Dragapult is faster (421 vs 84 base... Gholdengo base 84 speed, Dragapult 142). Dragapult can U-turn out. But U-turn was just used last turn. Options: switch to something. Clodsire resists... Gholdengo's Make It Rain (Steel) hits Clodsire? Poison/Ground resists... Steel vs Poison/Ground: Poison resists Steel, Ground neutral → 0.5x. Shadow Ball neutral. Clodsire has high SpD (328). Clodsire is a good switch. But wait, legal actions include switching to gholdengo (my own). Clodsire seems best — absorbs hits, can set Toxic Spikes or Earthquake. Actually, Dragapult could just U-turn again for momentum, but U-turn isn't in legal actions list — only switches are offered. So must switch. Clodsire is the pick.

FocusblastClodsire is a Ground-type and very slow, making it a perfect target for Focus Blast. Despite the accuracy risk, it is the only move that provides a likely knockout.
Reasoning trace (56 words)
The opponent has Clodsire active. Gholdengo is Choice Scarfed. Clodsire is very slow and has low special defense compared to Gholdengo's attack. Focus Blast is the strongest move but has low accuracy. However, Clodsire is a Ground-type, making Focus Blast super effective. Deciding factor: a likely knockout. Focus Blast is the most effective move against Clodsire.
MiMo V2.6 Flash usedToxicspikesClodsire walls Gholdengo well thanks to Unaware and massive special defense. Since Gholdengo threatens little damage here, setting Toxic Spikes is the best long-term play to pressure the rest of their team without wasting turns later.
Reasoning trace (335 words)
Clodsire has huge special defense (328) and can tank Gholdengo's hits. But Gholdengo likely has Nasty Plot + Make It Rain/Shadow Ball. With Good as Gold, Toxic Spikes won't affect Gholdengo but would affect... wait, it blocks status moves from targeting it? No, Good as Gold blocks status moves that target it (like Toxic), but Toxic Spikes is a hazard - it works fine. Against Gholdengo, Clodsire's Sludge Bomb or Earthquake. Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost - Earthquake is neutral (not very effective? Ground vs Steel is not very effective, Ground vs Ghost is neutral). Wait: Ground vs Steel = 0.5x. Ground vs Ghost = 1x. So 0.5x. Sludge Bomb vs Steel/Ghost = Poison vs Steel 0.5x, Poison vs Ghost 1x = 0.5x. Both are not very effective. Gholdengo likely has Nasty Plot. If it sets up NP, Clodsire with Unaware ignores the boost. Clodsire can tank hits with328 SpD. But Gholdengo's Make It Rain at +2 with 133 SpA vs328 SpD Clodsire... could hurt but Clodsire has Recover. The opponent's Gholdengo is at 94%. Clodsire should probably use Earthquake to chip, or set Toxic Spikes. Actually, Toxic Spikes would be good long-term. But opponent has Gholdengo in who can spin/block... no, Gholdengo can't remove T-spikes. Let me think: Clodsire with Unaware walls Gholdengo. Best play is probably Toxic Spikes to pressure the rest of the team, since Clodsire can safely set them here. Or Earthquake to chip. Actually, switching to Dragapult or Kingambit might be better positioning. Kingambit is burned though. Dragapult resists... Dragapult vs Gholdengo: Shadow Ball is neutral on Dragon/Ghost? Ghost vs Dragon = 1x, Ghost vs Ghost = 0.5x. So 0.5x. Make It Rain: Steel vs Dragon = 0.5x, Steel vs Ghost = 1x, so 0.5x. Dragapult can handle it but Gholdengo could NP. I think staying in with Clodsire and using Toxic Spikes is solid since Clodsire walls Gholdengo (Unaware + massive SpD). Or Earthquake to do damage. I'll go with Toxic Spikes since it sets up pressure and Clodsire is safe.

GreatGholdengo is a poor matchup for Clodsire, who can recover and stall. Great Tusk is the ideal switch-in to clear Toxic Spikes with Rapid Spin and threaten Clodsire with Earthquake.
Reasoning trace (57 words)
The opponent has Clodsire active, which just set Toxic Spikes. Gholdengo is Choice Scarfed and has Focus Blast, but Clodsire is a special wall and can Recover. Great Tusk is the best switch-in here to clear Toxic Spikes with Rapid Spin and threaten Clodsire with Earthquake. Deciding factor: bad matchup to switch out of (Gholdengo vs Clodsire).
MiMo V2.6 Flash usedRecoverClodsire walls Gholdengo well; Focus Blast isn't very effective against Poison/Ground with 328 SpD. The deciding factor is the bad matchup for the opponent—staying healthy with Recover keeps Clodsire as a reliable special wall while Toxic Spikes wear them down.
Reasoning trace (214 words)
Clodsire walls Gholdengo's special attacks well with 328 SpD. Focus Blast is not very effective. Gholdengo likely can't hurt Clodsire much; maybe Shadow Ball. Clodsire can recover or use Sludge Bomb / Earthquake. Opponent has Toxic Spikes already set — actually wait, one layer? Could set another layer. But better to just Recover to stay healthy, or attack. Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost, so Sludge Bomb hits neutrally (Steel resists Poison... actually Poison vs Steel is not very effective; Ghost doesn't resist). Sludge Bomb would be resisted by Steel — 0.5x. Wait Poison vs Steel: not very effective. So Sludge Bomb is resisted. Earthquake hits Steel super effective but Gholdengo levitates? No, Good as Gold, no levitate — Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost, grounded. Earthquake is 2x super effective vs Steel (Ghost neutral to Ground). So Earthquake does good damage. Clodsire's Atk 167, not huge, but Gholdengo's Def 95 — decent. Focus Blast can miss and isn't very effective. Recovering is safe; but is there a reason to attack? Gholdengo might set up Nasty Plot. Recover keeps Clodsire healthy. Given Clodsire has 81.9% HP and Stealth Rock on our side, staying healthy matters. Best play: Recover to keep Clodsire healthy as a special wall. Or Earthquake to pressure. Gholdengo likely can't threaten much. I'd say Recover is safest.

RapidspinClodsire is passive and cannot threaten Great Tusk. Rapid Spin is the best move to clear the Toxic Spikes and cure Great Tusk's poison status.
Reasoning trace (48 words)
The opponent has Toxic Spikes on my side, and my Great Tusk is currently poisoned. Clodsire is a passive wall that cannot hurt Great Tusk significantly. Rapid Spin is the priority to clear the Toxic Spikes and cure Great Tusk's poison. Deciding factor: clearing hazards and curing status.

Reasoning trace (377 words)
Clodsire is active vs Great Tusk (poisoned, 88%). Clodsire has huge SpD but low Def. Great Tusk revealed Knock Off, Rapid Spin, Stealth Rock - likely also Headlong Rush or Close Combat. Earthquake from Tusk would hurt Clodsire's physical defense. Clodsire has Unaware. Tusk has Protosynthesis (boosted by...no sun, so no boost). Tusk's Attack131 base, but Clodsire's Defense is low (157). Earthquake/Close Combat would do significant damage. However, Sludge Bomb or Earthquake from Clodsire won't KO Tusk either. Tusk at 88% poisoned will lose health each turn. Better play: switch to a physical wall. Great Tusk vs my Great Tusk - mine has Rocky Helmet, Intimidate? No, Protosynthesis. My Tusk has better defensive stats. Actually, opposing Tusk is poisoned and losing HP every turn. I could switch to Gholdengo to avoid physical hits and threaten with Make It Rain/Shadow Ball. Or use Ogerpon which has Water Absorb... no that doesn't help. Actually Gholdengo is a good check - Tusk's Knock Off is neutral, but Gholdengo resists Rock and is immune to Fighting (wait, Steel/Ghost - Fighting is not very effective... actually Steel/Ghost resists nothing from Fighting? Ghost is weak to nothing from Fighting... wait. Steel/Ghost: Fighting hits Steel for not very effective (0.5x), Ghost is immune to Fighting (0x). So Fighting is 0x - completely immune! And Rock hits Steel for 0.5x and Ghost for 1x = 0.5x. Ground hits Steel for 1x and Ghost for 1x = 1x. Knock Off hits Ghost for 2x and Steel for 1x = 2x. So Gholdengo is immune to Fighting and resists Rock. Tusk revealed Knock Off, Rapid Spin, Stealth Rock - if Tusk has Close Combat/Headlong Rush, those are... CC is immune, HR is neutral. But Tusk revealed Knock Off not Headlong Rush. Switch to Gholdengo seems good. Or I could just stay in and attack with Sludge Bomb / Earthquake. Actually, my Clodsire's physical defense is weak. Tusk's Earthquake would hurt. Switching to Gholdengo dodges Fighting moves entirely and threatens back. Let me do that. Wait - but if Tusk uses Rapid Spin, that's neutral on Gholdengo and boosts its speed. Still, Gholdengo is a strong position. Actually, let me reconsider. Clodsire has Unaware, huge SpD. Tusk's Headlong Rush or Earthquake would still hurt. Gholdengo switch seems clean.

The opponent has Gholdengo active. My active Pokémon is Great Tusk, which is poisoned and cannot hit Gholdengo with Rapid Spin or Earthquake. Knock Off is the only attacking move that works, but Gholdengo is a strong special attacker and Great Tusk is a physical wall. Switching to a better matchup is necessary. Slowking-Galar is a great switch-in to Gholdengo's typical moves (Make It Rain, Shadow Ball) and can pivot with Chilly Reception. Deciding factor: bad matchup to switch out of.
MiMo V2.6 Flash usedMakeitrainGholdengo is faster than nothing here—actually Tusk base 87 vs Gholdengo 87-ish speed; the deciding factor is a likely knockout: Make It Rain has STAB and Tusk has paper-thin SpD, so 82% Tusk should go down before it can retaliate.
Reasoning trace (721 words)
Gholdengo vs Great Tusk at 82%. Make It Rain should knock out a 82% Tusk? Gholdengo SpA 303, Tusk SpD 53 base. Make It Rain 120 BP... Gholdengo's Make It Rain on Great Tusk does around 50-60%? Actually Tusk has low SpD (base 53) but decent HP. Scarf-less Gholdengo Make It Rain vs Great Tusk: roughly 60-70%. At 82% it may not KO. But Tusk can't touch Gholdengo much except Knock Off. Hmm, Nasty Plot could be risky if Tusk switches. But Tusk is poisoned and taking chip. Actually Make It Rain lowers SpA, but Nasty Plot + next hit.

Checking: Ghost weakness/resistance — Ghost is resisted by Steel? No. In Gen 1 Ghost was not very effective vs... In Gen 2+, Ghost moves: 0x vs Normal, 2x vs Ghost/Psychic, 0.5x vs Dark? Yes, I'm fairly sure Dark resists Ghost (0.5x). And Steel — Ghost neutral on Steel. So Shadow Ball on Kingambit = 0.5x... wait both: Steel 1x, Dark 0.5x → 0.5x total. Make It Rain: Steel vs Steel = 0.5x, vs Ghost = 1x → 0.5x on Kingambit. Against current Tusk: Make It Rain neutral (Steel vs Ground/Fighting: Fighting doesn't resist Steel? Steel resisted by Steel, Fire, Water, Electric. Fighting neutral). So neutral. Best play: Make It Rain to hit Tusk hard now. Tusk is poisoned and will keep chipping. If Tusk stays in, it can't do much (Rapid Spin weak, Knock Off). Gholdengo's Make It Rain vs 82% Tusk — does it KO? Gholdengo SpA 303 (with leftovers item, 303 SpA stat). Great Tusk HP 115 base, SpD 53. Damage calc: Make It Rain 120 BP, 303 SpA vs 53 SpD + ... Tusk at 82%. Roughly: neutral, no STAB on... wait Make It Rain is STAB Steel for Gholdengo (Steel/Ghost) → 1.5x. So 120 * 1.5 STAB = 180 BP effective. vs base 53 SpD with HP 115. That's easily 80-95%+. Actually with such low SpD and STAB, it should be near 100%. So Make It Rain likely KOs. But if opponent switches to Kingambit (Steel/Dark), Make It Rain is resisted (0.25x? Steel 0.5, Dark 0.5 → 0.25x). Hmm. But Kingambit is burned at 94%. Alternative: Nasty Plot to catch a switch, then sweep. But if Tusk stays and uses Knock Off, Gholdengo loses leftovers and takes damage. Tusk's Knock Off vs Gholdengo: Gholdengo 100 HP/88 SpD base... Knock Off 65 BP, neutral?

Opposing Gholdengo has -1 SpA. Slowking-Galar is a good switch-in but Gholdengo can hit it with Make It Rain (though weakened). Chilly Reception allows a safe pivot to a strong attacker. Iron Valiant or Ogerpon-W are good options to threaten Gholdengo. Deciding factor: Pivot to a better matchup.
MiMo V2.6 Flash switched toKingambitGholdengo is at -1 SPA against a specially bulky Slowking-Galar that likely carries Flamethrower or other coverage — a bad matchup to stay in. Kingambit walls Slowking-Galar's Poison, Fire, and Psychic STABs at only half damage, making it the safe pivot.

Gholdengo is at -1 SPA against Slowking-Galar, which resists... actually Steel isn't resisted by Poison/Psychic — Steel is neutral against both. Shadow Ball is neutral too. Slowking-Galar has good special bulk (110 SPD,95 HP). At -1, Make It Rain does little. Slowking-Galar likely has Sludge Bomb which threatens Gholdengo (poison SE vs... actually Poison vs Steel/Ghost: Steel takes 2x from Poison... wait, Steel is not resistant to Poison? Steel IS resistant to Poison. So Sludge Bomb hits Gholdengo for neutral? Poison vs Steel = 0.5x, Poison vs Ghost = 1x → 0.5x. So Sludge Bomb is resisted. But Slowking-Galar could have Focus Blast or Flamethrower. Actually, what threatens Gholdengo? Slowking-Galar often runs Flamethrower, Sludge Bomb, Future Sight, Chilly Reception. Flamethrower would be super effective (Fire vs Steel = 2x, Fire vs Ghost = 1x → 2x). Hmm. Let me think about what's best. Gholdengo at -1 is weakened. Nasty Plot would bring it to +1 (net), then next turn attack. But Slowking could Flamethrower. Recover keeps us healthy but we're already at 100%. Switching to a counter: Kingambit resists Dark/Psychic/Poison/Steel/Flying/Bug/Dragon... Kingambit is Dark/Steel, resists Flamethrower too (Fire vs Steel = 0.5x). Kingambit would be a good switch but it's burned? No wait, the opponent's Kingambit is burned. Our Kingambit is full HP. Clodsire with Unaware and high SpD (328) would take special hits well and has Earthquake. But Slowking-Galar can Surf/water move vs Clodsire (Ground weak to water). Hmm, actually Clodsire takes neutral from Poison, and is weak to Water/Ice/Ground/Psychic. Ogerpon-Wellspring is a good offensive threat with Water Absorb, neutral to Slowking's STABs. Speed 350 outspeeds. I think switching to Ogerpon-Wellspring or Kingambit is good. Or just Nasty Plot — Slowking-Galar likely goes for Chilly Reception or Future Sight, giving us a free setup. Actually, given Gholdengo has Good as Gold (blocks status), Slowking can't toxic it. Slowking's likely move: Chilly Reception to pivot, Future Sight, or Flamethrower/Sludge Bomb. If we Nasty Plot and they Chilly Reception, we're at +1 and their incoming mon... but they get momentum. I think the safest strong play: Nasty Plot. If Slowking attacks with Flamethrower (~40-50% to Gholdengo), we survive and get to +1, then threaten heavily. If they pivot, we get +1 for free-ish. Actually wait — our Gholdengo is at -1 SPA. Even Nasty Plot only brings to +1 net. Make It Rain at +1 vs Slowking... Slowking at 71% — +1 Shadow Ball might KO? Slowking-Galar SpD 110, HP 95. Gholdengo SpA 303 base... with +1 (1.5x) → effective ~455. Shadow Ball 80 BP... probably not a KO from 71%. Hmm. Alternative: switch to Ogerpon-Wellspring which forces the issue offensively. Ogerpon outspeeds and threatens KO with Ivy Cudgel. But actually the cleanest: switch to Kingambit. It's Dark/Steel, defensively solid, and Slowking can't do much. But Kingambit wants to set up Swords Dance. Let me consider: the deciding factor — bad matchup for Gholdengo at -1. Switching to Ogerpon-Wellspring gives us a fast, strong attacker against a slow, passive wall. That seems best. Actually, does Slowking-Galar threaten Ogerpon? It could have Sludge Bomb (Poison vs Grass = 2x, but Ogerpon-Wellspring is Grass/Water → Poison vs Grass 2x, Poison vs Water 1x → 2x super effective). Hmm, that's a real threat. Kingambit: Dark/Steel — Poison vs Steel 0.5x, Poison vs Dark 1x → 0.5x. Fire vs Steel 0.5x, Fire vs Dark 1x → 0.5x. Psychic vs Dark 0.5x. Kingambit walls Slowking-Galar almost completely. Only Ground moves (Earthquake) hit it super effectively. Kingambit is the safe switch. Then we can Swords Dance. I'll go with switching to kingambit.

The opponent has switched in Kingambit. Slowking-Galar is extremely vulnerable to Kingambit's STAB moves (Kowtow Cleave, Iron Head). I just used Chilly Reception, which pivots Slowking-Galar out. Wait, the turn log says "Your Slowking used Chilly Reception", but the "YOUR ACTIVE POKÉMON" section still lists Slowking-Galar. This means the pivot effect happens *after* the move, and I must now choose which Pokémon to switch into. Kingambit is a physical powerhouse. I need a switch-in that can handle it. - Kingambit: Dark/Steel. - Great Tusk: Fighting moves (Earthquake) are super effective. - Iron Valiant: Fighting moves (Close Combat) are super effective. - Ogerpon-Wellspring: Not ideal, but can hit it. - Gholdengo: Not ideal. - Kingambit: Not ideal. Iron Valiant is the fastest and hardest hitting against Kingambit. Great Tusk is also a great check. However, Iron Valiant's Close Combat is a devastating blow. Wait, looking at the turn log again: "Your Slowking used Chilly Reception". Chilly Reception is a pivoting move. The game is now asking for the switch-in. Deciding factor: Matchup. Iron Valiant is the best offensive answer to Kingambit.

Iron Valiant's Fairy moves (Moonblast) would hit Gholdengo super effectively? Steel/Ghost: Fairy is neutral against Steel, neutral against Ghost? Fairy vs Steel: not very effective. Fairy vs Ghost: neutral. So Fairy move is 0.5x on Steel... wait, Steel resists Fairy (0.5x). So Fairy move = 0.5x. Fighting = 0x (Ghost immune). Iron Valiant's likely coverage: Moonblast, Close Combat, Knock Off, etc. Iron Valiant could carry Knock Off (super effective on Ghost? Dark vs Ghost = SE; Dark vs Steel = resisted... Dark vs Steel is 0.5? No — Steel resists Dark? Actually Dark moves: Steel doesn't resist Dark. Ghost resists... no, Ghost takes neutral from Dark? Wait: Dark vs Ghost = 2x. Dark vs Steel = 1x (Steel does not resist Dark). So Knock Off = 2x on Gholdengo. Also Iron Valiant could have Shadow Ball? vs Steel = 0.5x. Or Psyshock? Neutral. Hmm. Also iron valiant with booster energy — its speed would be 1.3x. It's already at 116 base... Gholdengo speed 293. Booster speed Iron Valiant: 116 base → stats... roughly 200s at level 100, times 1.3 ≈ 350ish. Likely faster than Gholdengo. What does the opponent do? Iron Valiant has Close Combat revealed. Vs Gholdengo it does nothing (immune). So opponent likely switches or uses coverage. Opponent's bench: great tusk (82%, PSN), kingambit (94%, BRN), gholdengo (94%), slowking-galar (71%), ogerpon-wellspring (unseen). My Gholdengo at full HP. Make It Rain would hit switch-ins decently. Actually, a Nasty Plot could be punished if they stay in with coverage. Shadow Ball is safe vs everything except Kingambit (resists? Kingambit Dark/Steel: Ghost vs Dark = 2x, Ghost vs Steel = 0.5x → neutral) and Gholdengo (Ghost vs Steel/Ghost = 0.5*... Ghost vs Steel 0.5, Ghost vs Ghost 2x → neutral... wait Ghost vs Ghost is 2x? Yes, Ghost is super effective against Ghost. So Shadow Ball on Gholdengo = 0.5 * 2 = 1x neutral. Hmm, against their Gholdengo mirror, Shadow Ball does neutral. Actually if they switch in their Gholdengo, Shadow Ball is neutral, Make It Rain is resisted (Steel vs Steel/Ghost: Steel vs Steel 0.5, Steel vs Ghost 0.5 → 0.25x!). Wait Make It Rain vs Steel/Ghost: Steel resisted by Steel (0.5) and by Ghost? Ghost does not resist Steel. Steel-type moves: resisted by Steel, Fire, Water, Electric. Ghost is not resistant. So Steel vs Ghost = 1x. So Make It Rain = 0.5x on their Gholdengo. Against Kingambit: Make It Rain = Steel vs Dark/Steel: Steel vs Steel 0.5, Steel vs Dark 1 → 0.5x. Shadow Ball vs Kingambit = Ghost vs Dark 2x, Ghost vs Steel 0.5 → 1x. Shadow Ball seems safer coverage overall. But what if opponent stays in with Iron Valiant and knocks off? Knock Off does 65 BP * 2 = effective ~130 base before item loss (leftovers). That hurts but doesn't KO from 378. Actually consider: opponent's Iron Valiant revealed only Close Combat. If it's a physical booster set (Atk booster? Close Combat — but it used CC last turn on Gholdengo which was immune, suggesting it expected something else or has no better option). It might have Knock Off or Moonblast. Options: Shadow Ball is safe, hits Iron Valiant super effectively (Fairy/Fighting: Ghost vs Fairy1x, Ghost vs Fighting 2x → 2x). Gholdengo's Shadow Ball at 303 SpA vs Iron Valiant's SpD... Iron Valiant base SpD 60, low. Shadow Ball 80 BP * STAB 1.5 * 2 = 240 effective. Iron Valiant 74 HP base, frail. That's likely a KO or close. If opponent switches, Shadow Ball still does good damage to most switch-ins. Against Kingambit, neutral; against their Gholdengo, neutral; against Slowking-Galar, neutral (Poison/Psychic: Ghost vs Poison 1, vs Psychic... Ghost is super effective vs Psychic? Yes, Ghost 2x vs Psychic. Poison doesn't resist Ghost. So 2x). Against Great Tusk: Ghost vs Ground/Fighting: 2x vs Fighting →2x. Against Ogerpon: neutral. So Shadow Ball is great coverage everywhere. Make It Rain is strong but 0.5x on Kingambit and 0.5x on their Gholdengo (0.5 total... wait recalc: Steel vs Steel/Ghost = Steel vs Steel 0.5, Steel vs Ghost 1 → 0.5x). Nasty Plot: risky if they stay and hit Knock Off, but if they switch it's free setup. Given Gholdengo at full HP and the opponent's Iron Valiant can't touch it with CC... but it surely carries coverage. I think Shadow Ball is the safest strong play — likely KO on Iron Valiant if stays, good damage if switches. Speed: Iron Valiant with booster speed likely outspeeds Gholdengo (293). But its moves vs Gholdengo are limited. Shadow Ball first... but if Iron Valiant is faster and uses Knock Off or Moonblast, Gholdengo takes damage then fires back. Shadow Ball would still KO from ~100%. I'll go with Shadow Ball.

Chilly Reception allows a safe pivot to a counter. Great Tusk or Iron Valiant are options, but Gholdengo is a threat to most. However, pivoting is better than staying in and losing a Pokémon.

ClosecombatClodsire is extremely slow and weak to Fighting-type moves. Close Combat is the strongest option and is likely to knock out Clodsire or leave it with very little HP.
Reasoning trace (45 words)
The opponent has Clodsire active. Iron Valiant is a great matchup for Clodsire, as it can hit hard with Close Combat. Clodsire is very slow and lacks offensive pressure against Valiant. Deciding factor: a likely knockout. Close Combat should deal massive damage or OHKO Clodsire.

Iron Valiant threatens Clodsire with close combat or moonblast. Clodsire is specially bulky but Iron Valiant has both. Close combat would hurt. Switching to Dragapult (Ghost) makes Fighting moves miss — but Iron Valiant likely has Moonblast/Fairy moves too. Kingambit resists both Fighting and... Kingambit is Dark/Steel, weak to Fighting (close combat super effective). Ogerpon resists Fighting? Grass/Water — neutral. Actually Fighting vs Grass = neutral, vs Water = neutral. Dragapult is Ghost, immune to Fighting. If opponent uses close combat, Dragapult takes nothing. But if they predict a switch and use Moonblast, Dragapult takes neutral damage (Fairy vs Dragon = resisted actually! Fairy is not very effective vs Dragon). So Dragapult resists Fairy and is immune to Fighting. Great switch. But opponent's Iron Valiant revealed only close combat. Switching to Dragapult seems best — immune to Fighting, resists Fairy. Alternatively, Clodsire can just Earthquake — Iron Valiant is at 93%, EQ from Clodsire (167 ATK) wouldn't KO. And Clodsire could take a hit with 328 SpD but close combat physical would hurt (157 DEF vs 130 ATK). Switch to Dragapult is the safe play.

Iron Valiant is faster than Dragapult? No, Dragapult speed 421 vs Iron Valiant base 116. Iron Valiant could have Close Combat. Dragapult is faster. But Iron Valiant could have knockoff or spirit break. Dragapult at 100%. Opponent Iron Valiant revealed only close combat. Options: U-turn gives momentum. Dragondarts does good damage (2 hits, 100 BP each at 339 attack vs 90 def... Iron Valiant frail, likely 2HKO or KO). Actually Dragon Darts hits twice 50 BP each. vs base 90 def, 339 atk... probably around 40% each, 80% total. Iron Valiant at 93% might survive. Willowisp burn would cripple it. Speed: Dragapult 421 vs Iron Valiant's likely ~360 (base 116, but quarkdrive could boost). If Iron Valiant has booster energy speed, it could be faster. Hmm. Safest: U-turn to gain momentum, chip. Or willowisp to cripple physical attacker. Iron Valiant could be special too (close combat revealed = physical set likely). Willowisp at 85% accuracy risky if miss and it KOs us. U-turn is safe, chips, pivots. Actually if Dragapult outspeeds, U-turn does maybe 20-30%, then we switch to something. Iron Valiant close combat would hurt whoever comes in. Given uncertainty, U-turn is the safe momentum play. But dragondarts could potentially 2HKO. I'd say U-turn — safe, chips, pivots to a better matchup. Actually willowisp burns it, neutering physical Close Combat. But burn also damage. If miss, we take a hit. Iron Valiant at 93% — burn halves attack, quite valuable. Speed is the deciding factor: Dragapult is faster (unless booster). I'll go U-turn for safe momentum.
MiMo V2.6 Flash switched toClodsireIron Valiant threatens with Close Combat or a Fairy move; Clodsire resists Fighting and its massive special bulk handles Moonblast, making it the safest switch.

Iron Valiant is active, revealed Close Combat. Dragapult is Ghost, immune to CC... wait, we U-turned already. Actually Turn 19 says Dragapult used U-turn — so this is Turn 20 now with Dragapult still active? The legal actions only offer switches, meaning we must switch. Iron Valiant likely threatens with Moonblast/Knock Off. Kingambit is Dark/Steel, weak to Fighting/Fire but takes Fairy well? Moonblast hits Kingambit super effective (Fairy vs Steel... Steel resists Fairy). Kingambit resists Fairy and Dark. Close Combat is neutral on Kingambit. But CC on Kingambit at -1 def... Iron Valiant CC would hurt. Clodsire is Poison/Ground, specially bulky, resists nothing much but takes Fighting neutrally? Poison resists Fighting. Clodsire has Unaware and high SpD. Opponent likely clicks Moonblast (Fairy) — Clodsire takes neutral. Kingambit resists Fairy and Dark, neutral to Fighting. But CC was revealed only. Best: switch Kingambit? If opponent uses Close Combat, Kingambit takes neutral (Fighting vs Steel/Dark: Fighting hits Steel super effective? No — Fighting is SE against Steel, NVE against Dark → neutral). Clodsire: Poison resists Fighting, Ground neutral → Fighting NVE on Clodsire. Clodsire also has high SpD vs Moonblast. Opponent might use Knock Off or Moonblast. Clodsire resists Fighting, and vs Fairy it's neutral but huge SpD. Clodsire seems safe. Choose clodsire.

No — Poison is weak to Ground and Psychic; resists Bug, Fighting, Poison, Grass, Fairy. Yes, Poison resists Fighting and Fairy. Moonblast vs Clodsire: Fairy vs Ground/Poison — Fairy is neutral vs Poison (wait, Poison resists Fairy), Fairy is neutral vs Ground. So resisted. Clodsire has 328 SpD, very tanky. Earthquake would hit Iron Valiant for super effective (Fairy/Fighting — Ground vs Fighting is neutral, Ground vs Fairy neutral). Actually Ground hits Fighting neutral... Fighting types: Ground is neutral. So EQ is neutral. Iron Valiant 90 DEF, Clodsire ATK 167 — EQ does decent damage. Moonblast from Iron Valiant (120 SpA, maybe booster) vs Clodsire 328 SpD — Clodsire tanks. But Iron Valiant could be booster speed or spec. Recover keeps healthy. Clodsire can't do much damage. Sludge Bomb resisted? Sludge Bomb vs Fairy — Poison vs Fairy is not very effective? Poison is neutral vs Fairy (Fairy resists... Fairy resists Fighting, Bug, Dark; immune to Dragon). Poison vs Fairy is neutral. Actually Poison is super effective vs Fairy? Yes! Poison is super effective against Fairy. Fairy is weak to Poison. Yes, Fairy is weak to Poison and Steel. So Sludge Bomb vs Iron Valiant (Fairy/Fighting): Poison hits Fairy super effectively, hits Fighting... Fighting resists Poison? Fighting is not resistant to Poison (Poison is neutral vs Fighting). So Sludge Bomb is super effective. Neutral effective actually — Fighting resists Poison? Let's check: Poison vs Fighting — Fighting resists Poison? The type chart: Poison is not very effective against Ghost, Ground, Poison, Steel (wait, Poison vs Steel is not very effective? Steel resists Poison). Poison vs Fighting: Fighting types... Fighting does not resist Poison? Hmm, Fighting resists: Bug, Rock, Dark. Takes super effective from Flying, Psychic, Fairy. Poison vs Fighting is neutral. And Poison vs Fairy is super effective (Fairy weak to Poison). So Sludge Bomb hits Iron Valiant for super effective. But Clodsire has low SpA (126). Sludge Bomb might do 30-40%. Earthquake might do similar. Best play: recover to stay healthy, or attack. Given Iron Valiant can't break Clodsire easily with Moonblast (resisted), and Close Combat is also resisted by Poison (wait, Fighting vs Poison — Poison resists Fighting. Yes Poison resists Fighting). So both of Iron Valiant's moves are resisted by Clodsire. Clodsire walls it. So we can attack with Sludge Bomb (super effective) or Earthquake. Which does more? Iron Valiant 90 Def, 60 SpD. Clodsire Atk 167, SpA 126. EQ: 100 BP × 167 Atk vs 90 Def neutral. Sludge Bomb: 90 BP × 126 SpA vs 60 SpD, super effective (2x). Rough: EQ ≈ (167/90 ratio ~1.86) * 100 = 186 factor. Sludge: (126/60 = 2.1) * 90 * 2 = 378 factor. Sludge Bomb much stronger due to bulk difference (Iron Valiant 60 SpD vs 90 Def). Sludge Bomb is the play. Also Tera? Not needed. Decision: Sludge Bomb.

Reasoning trace (212 words)
Iron Valiant is very low (23.9% HP) and has -1 Def/SpD. Clodsire is at 49% HP. Clodsire's Sludge Bomb likely OHKOs Iron Valiant. Iron Valiant is faster, but Close Combat didn't do enough damage last turn (Clodsire is bulky). Moonblast is not very effective. Switching to a counter is necessary. Great Tusk is a strong choice as it resists Poison and hits Clodsire hard with Earthquake. Ogerpon-Wellspring is also a good option (Grass moves are 4x effective), but Tusk provides more utility and bulk. Deciding factor: bad matchup to switch out of. Wait, Ogerpon-Wellspring's Ivy Cudgel or Horn Leech would likely OHKO Clodsire. Great Tusk's Earthquake would also do massive damage. Looking at the opponent's team: Dragapult, Kingambit, Great Tusk, Ogerpon-Wellspring. If I switch to Ogerpon, I can potentially OHKO Clodsire. If I switch to Tusk, I can also hit it hard. However, Clodsire might use Toxic Spikes or Recover. Ogerpon-Wellspring is the most offensive pressure against Clodsire. Let's re-evaluate: Iron Valiant is almost dead. Clodsire is at 49%. Ogerpon-Wellspring is the best offensive counter. Great Tusk is also great. Kingambit is immune to Poison. Actually, Ogerpon-Wellspring is the fastest and hardest hitting against Clodsire.

Iron Valiant at 24%, Clodsire at 48%. Iron Valiant is faster. Sludge Bomb should knock it out — but it might KO Clodsire first? Close Combat from Iron Valiant already did ~129 damage (352→223). Another CC would do similar, knocking out Clodsire at 223? Actually 223 HP, CC did129 damage earlier, so it survives at ~94. Moonblast at -1 SpD... Iron Valiant SpA 120 vs Clodsire SpD 328. Moonblast earlier did 352→352? Actually turn 19 Moonblast did 406→352 = 54. With -1 SpD it would do more but Clodsire is specially bulky. Clodsire likely survives and Sludge Bomb (90 BP, super effective vs Fairy) with Valiant at24% and -1 SpD... wait Sludge Bomb is Poison vs Fairy/Fighting — super effective vs Fairy. -1 SpD Valiant.

Opponent's Ogerpon at 22% — Sludge Bomb won't kill (needs ~22% of Ogerpon's HP... Clodsire SPA is only 126, weak). Ogerpon could kill Clodsire with Ivy Cudgel likely. But Sludge Bomb was doing 63% earlier (87→24). Now 24→22? Wait, that's opponent's Ogerpon from Iron Valiant... no, Ogerpon just came in at turn 21 and took Sludge Bomb to 22%. So Sludge Bomb did78%? It went from 100→22. So another Sludge Bomb should kill 22%. But Ogerpon is faster (110 vs 76) and could kill Clodsire. Ivy Cudgel into Clodsire with328 SpD and... Clodsire at 48% HP, Ogerpon's ATK ~120 base boosted by mask (Ivy Cudgel BP 100). Physical — Clodsire DEF 157 is weak. Likely kills. Switch to something that resists Water/Grass? Ogerpon's moves: Ivy Cudgel (Water in this form), Horn Leech, Stomping Tantrum, Knock Off, Power Whip. Great Tusk resists... takes neutral from Water, resists nothing relevant. Dragapult — Water neutral. Ogerpon at 22% — it's dead to any hit basically. Better to sack... Clodsire at 48% still useful with Recover. Actually Ogerpon at 22%: even if it attacks once and kills, we can revenge kill with our own Ogerpon or Dragapult (faster at 421 SPE vs Ogerpon's 110 base... wait opposing Ogerpon SPE 110 base, actual maybe ~330). Dragapult outspeeds. I think attacking is fine — but risk Clodsire dying for nothing. Alternatively switch to Dragapult which likely survives one hit and outspeeds. Dragapult taking Ivy Cudgel at 100% — survives easily, then U-turn or just kill next turn... but the opponent might switch knowing Ogerpon dies to priority? No priority issues. Actually simplest: Sludge Bomb to kill Ogerpon. If Clodsire dies first, we bring in Dragapult and revenge kill. Ogerpon at 22% won't sweep us. Also if opponent switches out Ogerpon (saving it at 22%), Sludge Bomb hits incoming mon for decent damage. Hmm but Ogerpon is faster and attacks first. It will attack since it can't save by switching... actually it could switch to preserve the 22% Ogerpon as a sac later. Either way Sludge Bomb is fine. But wait — should we switch to avoid Clodsire dying? Clodsire with Recover is valuable. Switching to Dragapult takes whatever Ogerpon throws (probably Ivy Cudgel), survives, and we get free KO. That preserves Clodsire. Dragapult is arguably our best wincon with Kingambit. But Ogerpon might attack Dragapult with Knock Off... still survives. I'll go with Sludge Bomb — simplest, secures KO. Risk: Clodsire faints but we revenge with Dragapult. Actually preserving Clodsire for E-Wall vs Kingambit/Gholdengo might matter. Gholdengo at 7% has Focus Blast — Clodsire walls it. Hmm. Switch to Dragapult is safer overall? If opponent predicts switch and... can't do much, Ogerpon's only target dies anyway at 22%. Preserving Clodsire (special wall) seems better. Also Dragapult can U-turn for momentum. I'll switch to dragapult.

Let's estimate: burned Kingambit Sucker Punch on Dragapult does maybe 40-50%. Not a KO from 186. But Kingambit could Swords Dance. Burn limits it though. Dragapult is faster (SPE 421 vs base 50). Dragon Darts does decent damage. Opponent at 68% — Dragon Darts not very effective vs Steel (0.5x), two hits at 50 BP each... Dragapult ATK 339. Against Kingambit DEF ~240ish. Each dart ~30-40%? Not very effective halves. Probably ~30% total. Not great. Willowisp already burned — redundant. Thunderwave could para but already burned (speed not affected by burn). Best: switch to Kingambit (my side) — Kingambit resists Dark, takes Sucker Punch well, and can threaten back. Or Great Tusk with rocky helmet. Actually opponent Kingambit burned, my Dragapult can U-turn for momentum. U-turn is Bug, super effective vs Dark (Kingambit is Dark/Steel — Bug hits Dark 2x, Steel 0.5x = neutral). U-turn does neutral damage and lets me switch. U-turn seems good: damage + switch initiative. But who to? Kingambit (mine) walls theirs. Actually, opponent's Kingambit at 68% burned — my Kingambit with Sucker Punch could KO it? My Kingambit ATK 405, blackglasses, Supreme Overlord. Sucker Punch 70 BP * 1.5 STAB * 1.25 item = ~131 effective. Against Kingambit DEF 276... at 68% HP (opponent ~404*0.68=275 HP). Damage estimate: (405*2*70/276)/50+2 ≈ 41.5 *1.5*1.5 ≈ 93. Not quite but close. Burn halves opponent's attack but that doesn't matter for my damage. Hmm, but opponent might switch. U-turn from Dragapult is safe — if they stay in, I gain chip; if they switch, I get momentum. I'll go with U-turn, then bring in my Kingambit.

Actually best: switch to Ogerpon-Wellspring, which outspeeds and threatens KO. But if Tusk uses knockoff, Ogerpon loses mask (big deal — mask boosts ivycudgel). Hmm.

Tusk might use Knock Off (resisted on... Dark vs Kingambit: Dark resisted by... Kingambit Dark/Steel, Dark hits Dark 0.5, Steel neutral → 0.5). Or Close Combat / Earthquake for damage. Close Combat vs Kingambit: Fighting vs Steel 2x, vs Dark 0.5 → neutral. Or headlong rush neutral too. Sucker Punch could be blocked if Tusk uses a status move. Iron Head is safest for damage. Tusk is slower (SPE base 87 vs Kingambit 50... but Kingambit SPE 136, Tusk base 87, Tusk likely faster). Kingambit moves second. Tusk attacks first — Kingambit takes damage but should survive. Tera options: Tera Dark for sucker punch STAB 2x? Could consider. But Iron Head likely good. If opponent switches to something, Iron Head is fine coverage. I'll go Iron Head. Could Tera be helpful? Tera Steel boosts Iron Head to 2x STAB — but Kowtow priority... Probably just Iron Head without tera, saving tera. Actually if Tusk uses CC and survives, Kingambit could die? Kingambit at 87.6%, CC neutral from131 ATK... should be fine. Sucker punch risk: Tusk might use Rapid Spin or Stealth Rock. Go Iron Head.

Sucker punch has priority +1. So Kingambit moves first with Sucker Punch. Will it KO? Tusk at 40%, has 115 base HP → probably ~340 HP max, 40% = ~136 HP. Sucker punch: 70 BP * STAB 1.5 * black glasses 1.5 = 157.5 effective BP. ATK 405 vs DEF ~250ish (Tusk def base 131).

Opponent has Dragapult active. My Kingambit is burned, which severely cripples its physical attack power. Dragapult is much faster. Sucker Punch is the only way to hit it before it moves, but Dragapult might U-turn or use Dragon Darts. However, Kingambit's attack is halved by the burn.

Kingambit at 41% burned, Dragapult at 58.7%. Kingambit could use Sucker Punch (not revealed but likely), or Kowtow Cleave. Dragapult's Dragon Darts on Kingambit: Dragon is not very effective against Steel... Kingambit is Dark/Steel, Dragon hits Steel for not very effective. Previous Dragon Darts did ~11% per hit (58→47). So full Dragon Darts would do ~22%, plus burn... wait, Kingambit is already burned. Actually, Kingambit at 41% - Dragon Darts did58→47→41 (last was burn). So Darts did 11% total? No wait: 58→47 (first dart), 47→41 (second dart), then 41 from burn. That's only 17% from Darts... hmm, "not very effective" twice. So Darts did 58→47 = 11%, then 47→41 = 6%? That seems off, maybe two messages. Anyway Darts do ~17% total. Dragon Darts at ~17% won't KO Kingambit at 41%. Kingambit could Sucker Punch and KO Dragapult? Dragapult at 186 HP. Sucker Punch BP 70, burned Kingambit... burn halves attack. Kingambit ATK 135 base, burned = half. Sucker Punch against Dragapult (Ghost/Dragon): Dark hits Ghost super effective... wait no, Ghost is weak to Dark? Ghost is weak to Dark and Ghost. Dragon resists... Dark is neutral on Dragon, SE on Ghost. So 2x effective. Burned Sucker Punch: 70 BP * 0.5 burn * 2x eff = 70 effective. Dragapult has 186/317 HP with 186 DEF. Hmm, might not KO. Actually, let's think about what's best. Opponent's Kingambit is burned at 41%. If I use U-turn, it does Bug damage - Bug is resisted by... Kingambit is Dark/Steel. Bug hits Steel? Bug is not very effective vs... Fairy, Flying, Poison, Ghost, Steel, Fire? Bug resisted by Steel? No - Bug is resisted by: Flying, Poison, Ghost, Steel, Fire, Fairy. Yes, Bug resisted by Steel. So U-turn would be not very effective. Options: Dragon Darts (not very effective but neutral-ish17%), U-turn (resisted), Will-o-wisp (redundant, already burned), Thunderwave (para Kingambit, good for speed control). Switching to Great Tusk: Great Tusk has 434 HP, would take Kowtow Cleave or Sucker Punch. But opponent's Kingambit at 41% burned won't break through Great Tusk easily. Actually, best play: Dragon Darts won't KO. Thunderwave paralyzing Kingambit would prevent Sucker Punch... no, paralysis doesn't stop Sucker Punch priority. But it cuts speed 50%. Actually, the key question: will Kingambit KO Dragapult with Sucker Punch? Burned at 41%, Sucker Punch at half attack... Let me estimate: Kingambit ATK ~200ish (base 135, level 100, maybe ATK EVs), burned = 100. Sucker Punch BP 70 * 2 (SE vs Ghost) = 140 effective BP. Dragapult 186/317 with 186 DEF. Damage≈ ((2*100/250+2)*140*100/50+2) * ... I shouldn't write formulas per rules. Roughly: burned Sucker Punch does maybe 30-40% to Dragapult. Probably doesn't KO from 58.7%. If Dragapult survives, another Dragon Darts or U-turn... Darts do 17%, Kingambit at 41% - 17% = 24%, minus burn... burn is already counted (41% includes recent burn). Hmm, if Dragapult outspeeds (421 vs Kingambit ~136 speed), Dragapult goes first. Two more Darts turns to KO? 17% per turn, needs ~3 turns. Meanwhile Kingambit Sucker Punch or Kowtow each turn. Actually maybe switching to Great Tusk is safest - Tusk walls Kingambit and can EQ. But opponent could switch too. I think U-turn is good - does some chip damage and lets me switch to Great Tusk or Ogerpon safely. But U-turn is resisted. Actually, considering the matchup: Dragapult at 58.7% vs burned Kingambit at 41%. Kingambit can't quickly KO Dragapult with burned attacks. Dragapult can U-turn out into Great Tusk which walls Kingambit. But wait - will Sucker Punch KO? If it might, better to switch directly. Let me think about U-turn: it does damage then switches. If Kingambit uses Sucker Punch, U-turn goes first (faster), damage is minimal (resisted), then I switch. I'll go with U-turn to safely pivot to Great Tusk without taking Sucker Punch damage on the switch-in. Actually switching directly also takes damage on the incoming mon. U-turn lets me choose after seeing... no, both happen simultaneously in a turn. Hmm. Actually the deciding factor: Dragapult is faster and can U-turn out safely. Great Tusk walls Kingambit. Let's do U-turn. Wait - but if I U-turn, I choose my switch now (same turn). Switching directly to Great Tusk means Great Tusk takes a hit this turn. U-turn means Kingambit hits Dragapult (58.7%, survives burned Sucker Punch likely), then Great Tusk comes in clean. But U-turn is resisted by Steel - might do like 10-15%. Good chip. Decision: U-turn.

Iron Valiant's Close Combat is Fighting — super effective vs Great Tusk?

Iron Valiant is very low on HP (16.6%) and facing Clodsire. Clodsire is a Poison/Ground type, making it weak to Ground and Water, but resistant to Fighting and Fairy (though Moonblast is neutral to Ground and super effective to Poison, Clodsire's typing makes it neutral overall). Wait, Poison/Ground: Fairy is neutral (Poison resists, Ground is weak), Fighting is neutral (Poison resists, Ground is weak). Clodsire's main threats are Sludge Bomb (super effective against Iron Valiant) and potentially Earthquake (though not revealed). Iron Valiant is too frail to take a Sludge Bomb. Looking at the bench: - Great Tusk: Ground/Fighting, can hit Clodsire with Earthquake. - Ogerpon-Wellspring: Grass/Water, can hit Clodsire with Ivy Cudgel (Water) or Horn Leech. - Kingambit: Dark/Steel, resists Poison. - Gholdengo: Steel/Ghost, resists Poison. Clodsire is at 42% HP. Close Combat or Moonblast might not OHKO, and Iron Valiant will likely die to a Sludge Bomb. Switching to a counter is safer.

EQ from Clodsire at 167 ATK should KO from 17%. Valiant outspeeds Clodsire though. Will Moonblast KO from 194/464? Clodsire has huge SpD (328 effective). Moonblast base 95 from 120 SpA — even STAB, Clodsire should live it. But Valiant could Swords Dance... unlikely. Moonblast is the best move for them. Clodsire survives and EQs. Sludgebomb has same idea — but EQ is safer (no risk of Moonblast healing? Moonblast doesn't heal). Both hit equally neutral actually. Poison vs Fairy/Fighting: super effective against Fighting part. SludgeBomb is STAB 90 BP vs EQ 100 BP neutral non-STAB. SludgeBomb likely better damage. Hmm: SludgeBomb: STAB 90×1.5 = 135 effective BP, super effective on Fighting half. EQ: 100, neutral.

Clodsire's moves: Toxic Spikes, Recover, Sludge Bomb, Earthquake. My options: 1. Kingambit (40.2% HP, Burned): Resists Poison, but weak to Ground (Earthquake). 2. Great Tusk (19.8% HP, Poisoned): Strong against Ground/Poison, but very low HP. 3. Gholdengo (7.0% HP): Immune to Poison, but weak to Ground (Earthquake). Clodsire is extremely low on HP (15%). Any attack from Great Tusk or Kingambit (even burned) should likely KO it. However, Clodsire has Earthquake. Great Tusk is poisoned and at 19.8% HP. Kingambit is burned and at 40.2% HP. Gholdengo is at 7% HP. If I switch to Great Tusk, it takes a hit from Earthquake (if Clodsire doesn't Recover). If I switch to Kingambit, it takes a hit from Earthquake. Wait, Clodsire is at 15% HP. It might try to Recover. Let's evaluate the matchup: - Kingambit: Burned, takes heavy damage from Earthquake. - Great Tusk: Poisoned, takes damage from Earthquake. - Gholdengo: Very low HP, takes heavy damage from Earthquake. Great Tusk is the best bet to handle Clodsire and potentially the other threats, but its HP is critical. Kingambit is also critical. Actually, Great Tusk's Earthquake or Knock Off will easily KO Clodsire. Kingambit's Iron Head or Kowtow Cleave will also KO it. The deciding factor is the bad matchup for Gholdengo and Kingambit against Earthquake, and Great Tusk's ability to potentially survive or trade. However, Great Tusk is also very low. Wait, Clodsire is so low that any of these could potentially switch in, but Great Tusk is the most natural counter to Clodsire. Let's check the opponent's remaining team: Dragapult, Great Tusk, Ogerpon-Wellspring. If I bring in Great Tusk, I can potentially KO Clodsire and then deal with the others. Actually, Kingambit is burned, which reduces its physical attack. Great Tusk is poisoned. If I switch to Great Tusk, and Clodsire uses Earthquake, Great Tusk might survive depending on the damage. If Clodsire uses Recover, I get a free turn. Let's consider Kingambit. If Clodsire uses Earthquake, Kingambit takes massive damage. Great Tusk is the safest switch-in to a Ground-type move compared to the others, although it's not immune. Wait, Great Tusk is Ground/Fighting. It's not weak to Ground. Kingambit and Gholdengo are.

I should switch to Ogerpon-Wellspring which is immune to Water (not relevant here) but takes Earthquake neutrally (Grass/Water - Ground hits neutral). Actually Ogerpon-Wellspring resists Water, but Ground is neutral on Grass/Water. Wait, let me check: Grass/Water - Ground is neutral on both (Grass resists Ground? No, Grass resists Ground). Actually Grass resists Ground. So Ground is not very effective on Ogerpon-Wellspring. Also Tusk is at 20% and poisoned - it loses HP each turn. My Great Tusk could also come in and outspeed... actually opponent's Great Tusk base87 speed vs mine base 87 too. Mine has 300 speed stat, theirs likely similar. But the simplest play: Ogerpon-Wellspring is a great matchup. Ground is not very effective (Grass resists Ground), and Ogerpon has Ivy Cudgel (100 BP Grass) which would easily KO a 20% HP Great Tusk. Also I'm faster (350 vs likely ~300 for opponent's Tusk). Switching to Ogerpon-Wellspring seems best - it resists the likely Earthquake and can KO next turn. Alternatively, if Tusk uses Knock Off or Rapid Spin, those would also not do much. Knock Off would remove Ogerpon's mask though - that would be bad. But at 20% HP and poisoned, Tusk is very limited. Let me think about whether Clodsire can just earthquake. Opponent's Tusk has 115 base HP, at 20% that's roughly 20% of ~385 = ~77 HP. Clodsire's earthquake with 167 ATK would deal... maybe around 50-60%? Not quite enough to KO. And Tusk is faster so it goes first. Switching to Ogerpon-Wellspring is the safest play.

Let me just focus on the current state. Current state: My Ogerpon-Wellspring is active at 178/301 HP. Opponent's Great Tusk is at 14% HP and poisoned. I'm much faster and Ivy Cudgel will easily KO. Just use Ivy Cudgel.

The opponent has Ogerpon-Wellspring active. My Kingambit just fainted. I have Great Tusk (13.6% HP, poisoned) and Gholdengo (7.0% HP) left. Ogerpon-Wellspring is at 60% HP. Great Tusk is Ground/Fighting. Ogerpon-Wellspring is Grass/Water. Ogerpon's Ivy Cudgel (Grass) is super effective against Great Tusk. Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost, resisting Grass. Gholdengo is at 7% HP. Any hit from Ogerpon (even a resisted one or a neutral move like Power Whip/Horn Leech/Knock Off) will likely KO it. Great Tusk is at 13.6% and poisoned. Wait, Gholdengo is Choice Scarf. Ogerpon-Wellspring is base 110 speed. Gholdengo's speed is 293 (with Scarf), Ogerpon's is roughly 200-230. Gholdengo outspeeds. Can Gholdengo KO Ogerpon? Make It Rain (Steel, 120 BP) is super effective against Ogerpon-Wellspring. Ogerpon has 80 HP / 84 Def. Make It Rain from a Choice Scarf Gholdengo should deal massive damage. If I switch to Great Tusk, Ogerpon will likely use Ivy Cudgel and KO it immediately. If I switch to Gholdengo, I can potentially KO Ogerpon with Make It Rain before it can move. Deciding factor: speed and a likely knockout. Gholdengo outspeeds and can OHKO Ogerpon with Make It Rain.

IvycudgelOgerpon is much faster than Gholdengo (350 vs 84 speed) and Ivy Cudgel easily knocks out a 7% HP Gholdengo. Even if the opponent switches to their 14% HP Great Tusk, Ivy Cudgel still secures the KO. No reason to do anything else.

Ogerpon is faster (SPE 350 vs 84) and Ivy Cudgel will easily KO Gholdengo at 7% HP. But Gholdengo could use Focus Blast - it wouldn't KO Ogerpon from 59%. However, I should consider if the opponent switches to Great Tusk. Ivy Cudgel would still hit Great Tusk hard. Wait, the opponent only has Great Tusk left at 14% HP and this Gholdengo at 7%. Both are very low. Ivy Cudgel kills Gholdengo. If Great Tusk comes in, Ivy Cudgel kills it too. Ivy Cudgel is the clear play here. No need to overthink.
Gemma 4 31B usedMakeitrainGholdengo is Choice Scarfed and outspeeds Ogerpon-Wellspring. Since Gholdengo is at critical HP, the only viable play is to attack and attempt a knockout before being hit. Make It Rain is the strongest available move.

The opponent has Ogerpon-Wellspring active. My Gholdengo is at very low HP (7%) and is Choice Scarfed. Ogerpon is faster than Gholdengo's base speed, but Gholdengo has a Choice Scarf (Speed 293 vs Ogerpon's base 110). Gholdengo is faster. Ogerpon-Wellspring is Grass/Water. Make It Rain is Steel, which is neutral. Shadow Ball is Ghost, which is neutral. Focus Blast is Fighting, which is neutral. Wait, Gholdengo is at 22 HP. Ogerpon's Ivy Cudgel (Grass) will likely OHKO Gholdengo. However, Gholdengo is faster due to the Choice Scarf. Can Gholdengo OHKO Ogerpon-Wellspring? Make It Rain (120 BP, STAB) against Ogerpon-Wellspring (Grass/Water). Ogerpon-Wellspring's defense is 84. Gholdengo's SpA is 365. Make It Rain should do significant damage, but might not be a guaranteed OHKO. If I switch to Great Tusk, it's at 13.6% HP and poisoned. Ogerpon will likely OHKO it with Ivy Cudgel or another move. The only chance is to attack with Gholdengo. Make It Rain is the strongest move. Deciding factor: speed (Choice Scarf Gholdengo outspeeds Ogerpon).

My Gholdengo just fainted. I only have Great Tusk left. The opponent has Ogerpon-Wellspring (24% HP), Clodsire (15% HP), and Dragapult (59% HP). Great Tusk is poisoned and at very low HP (13.6%). Deciding factor: Only one legal action available. I must switch to Great Tusk.

EarthquakeMiMo V2.6 Flash usedIvycudgelOgerpon outspeeds the weakened Great Tusk and Ivy Cudgel is super effective; at 14% HP it's a guaranteed knockout before Tusk can move. No reason to risk a switch or use Tera here.

Ogerpon is at 72 HP, opponent Tusk at 14%. Ogerpon is faster (350 vs 87 base, Tusk speed 300 vs Ogerpon 350). Ivy Cudgel should KO the Tusk at 14%. But wait — does Tusk have priority? No. Ogerpon outspeeds. Ivy Cudgel 100 BP Grass vs Ground — super effective, easily KO. But there's risk: if Ivy Cudgel misses? Accuracy 1.0. So Ivy Cudgel knocks out. Consider Tera? Not needed. Horn Leech would recover HP but weaker; still likely KO at 14%. Ivy Cudgel is safest. Actually wait — is Ogerpon at risk if it fails? If Tusk survives and EQ's... Ogerpon at 72 HP dies. Tusk at 14% — Ivy Cudgel at 339 Atk vs 131 Def... definitely KO. Go ivycudgel.
