GreattuskGreat Tusk is the most reliable lead for setting Stealth Rock and handling common lead threats like Ogerpon-W or opposing Great Tusk.
Reasoning trace (39 words)
The opponent has a standard Gen 9 OU team (Tusk, Gholdengo, Kingambit, Dragapult, Ogerpon-W, Clodsire). Great Tusk is the most reliable lead for setting Stealth Rock and handling potential leads like Ogerpon or Great Tusk. Deciding factor: Utility/Lead matchup.
MiMo V2.6 Flash led withGholdengoGholdengo is the safest lead: it matches up well against Great Tusk, Kingambit, and Slowking Galar while threatening back with Make It Rain/Shadow Ball. Iron Valiant would be the main risk, but I can pivot out of it.
Reasoning trace (164 words)
Opponent likely leads Iron Valiant or Ogerpon. Gholdengo is a solid lead vs Slowking Galar / Gholdengo mirror. Ogerpon Wellspring lead is decent against potential Great Tusk (Water Absorb) and Slowking Galar (Punishment? no, Ivy Cudgel strong vs Galar Slowking which is Poison/Psychic — neutral). Iron Valiant threatens Ogerpon though. Gholdengo is a good general lead: blocks Rapid Spin? No, Good as Gold blocks status, spin isn't status. Gholdengo vs Iron Valiant bad. Great Tusk lead is standard, handles opposing Tusk and Kingambit, sets rocks. Iron Valiant threatens it with Moonblast/Mystical Fire though. It's a common lead regardless. I'd pick gholdengo as lead — decent against Slowking Galar, Tusk (make it rain hurts), Kingambit (shadow ball). Iron Valiant lead would force a switch but we can switch. Actually Great Tusk with rocky helmet is fine too. Choose ogerponwellspring? It beats Tusk, Slowking Galar (Grass move neutral vs poison... actually Grass vs Poison/Psychic is neutral, yes), Ogerpon mirror. Fears Iron Valiant. I'll go with gholdengo.

KnockoffGholdengo's Good as Gold ability blocks Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin. Knock Off is the only viable move to apply pressure and remove its item.
Reasoning trace (48 words)
Opponent led Gholdengo, which blocks Rapid Spin and Stealth Rock via Good as Gold. Great Tusk cannot set hazards or spin here. Knock Off is the best offensive option to remove Gholdengo's item (likely Choice Scarf or Air Balloon). Deciding factor: bad matchup (Good as Gold blocks utility).
MiMo V2.6 Flash switched toOgerponGholdengo is weak to Great Tusk's likely Headlong Rush (Ground hits Steel super-effectively), and Tusk is faster. Switching to Ogerpon-Wellspring, whose Water typing resists Ground, is the safe pivot.
Reasoning trace (171 words)
Gholdengo vs Great Tusk. Great Tusk likely has Headlong Rush (Ground) which threatens a KO. Gholdengo is slower? Gholdengo SPE 293 vs Tusk 300 (with booster maybe). Tusk's Headlong Rush would deal massive super-effective damage. Clodsire resists... actually Ground is super effective vs Steel but Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost: Ground hits Steel super effectively, Ghost doesn't resist. So Headlong Rush threatens OHKO. Switch to Ogerpon-Wellspring (Grass/Water) which resists Ground? Water resists Ground. Or Clodsire which is immune? No, Clodsire is Poison/Ground, Ground is neutral... wait Ground vs Ground is resisted (not immune). Poison/Ground takes neutral from Ground? Ground resisted by Poison? No. Ground vs Poison is... Ground hits Poison super effectively? No, Ground is super effective vs Fire, Electric, Rock, Steel, Poison. Wait, Ground is super effective vs Poison! Yes. So Clodsire takes SE Ground. Bad. Ogerpon-Wellspring: Water resists Ground, takes neutral. Good switch. Or Kingambit (Dark/Steel) - also weak to Ground. Dragapult (Dragon/Ghost) - Ground neutral, but frail physically (DEF 186). Ogerpon has good DEF 204. Switch to Ogerpon-Wellspring seems best.
- Turn 2Gemma 4 31B switched to
GholdengoGreat Tusk is at a severe type disadvantage against Ogerpon-Wellspring, who likely carries Grass-type attacks. Switching to Gholdengo provides a resistance to Grass and puts immediate pressure on the opponent.
Reasoning trace (90 words)
Opposing Ogerpon-Wellspring is active and has a type advantage over Great Tusk (Grass resists Fighting, Water is neutral, but Ogerpon usually carries Ivy Cudgel/Horn Leech). Great Tusk is a bad matchup here. Switching to a resist or a counter is necessary. Gholdengo or Iron Valiant are options, but Ogerpon-W is weak to Flying (not available) and Poison. Slowking-Galar resists Water and is neutral to Grass, but Ogerpon's physical attacks might hurt. Gholdengo is a strong switch-in to resist Grass and potentially threaten with Make It Rain. Deciding factor: bad matchup.
MiMo V2.6 Flash usedIvycudgelOgerpon already lost its mask, so switching out won't regain much—but it outspeeds Great Tusk (350 vs 300) and Ivy Cudgel is a super-effective STAB that should 2HKO or OHKO. Tusk only revealed Knock Off, which did ~25% last turn and can't threaten a KO back, so staying in to attack is safe.
Reasoning trace (156 words)
Ogerpon already lost its mask via Knock Off, so its Water STAB is gone... actually ivycudgel is Grass type. Ogerpon-W at 227/301 with mask knocked off. Great Tusk is Ground/Fighting; ivycudgel (Grass) is super effective. Tusk's speed 87 base vs Ogerpon 350 speed — Ogerpon outspeeds. Ivy Cudgel 100 BP Grass vs Tusk: likely a OHKO or 2HKO. Tusk Knock Off did 74 HP (~25%), so Tusk can't KO back quickly; close combat would hurt though. But Tusk revealed only Knock Off. Ivy cudgel at 1.5x atk (mask off—wait, mask knocked off changes nothing for Grass moves) — 339 atk stat. Should 2HKO or OHKO Tusk. Ogerpon faster, just attack. Ivy Cudgel is strongest effective move. Actually wait—Tusk at 100% HP; Ivy Cudgel 100 BP, STAB 1.5, super effective 2x vs Tusk 298 def /2... Base 131 def high. Could be a 2HKO. Still, Tusk can't OHKO Ogerpon easily without close combat boost. Just spam ivycudgel.

IvycudgelOgerpon is faster than Gholdengo (350 vs 84 base) and Ivy Cudgel has a strong chance to KO the 37% Gholdengo if it stays in, while still doing solid damage to likely switch-ins like Great Tusk or Kingambit. The opponent may switch, but Ivy Cudgel is the safest strong STAB here.
Reasoning trace (200 words)
Opponent's Gholdengo at 37% HP. Ogerpon faster (350 vs base 84). Ivy Cudgel should KO. But they might switch to a wall - Great Tusk or Slowking-Galar. Ivy Cudgel is safe STAB. Their Gholdengo could try Nasty Plot but it dies. They'd probably switch. Ivy Cudgel into incoming switch is fine. Knock Off would also hit Gholdengo but Ivy Cudgel is stronger against most switches. Actually Slowking-Galar resists Grass... it's Poison/Psychic, resists Grass. Great Tusk neutral. Ivy Cudgel is still decent. Going with ivycudgel - best damage and likely KO if they stay in. Actually if they switch to Slowking-G, Ivy Cudgel is resisted heavily. Knock Off would be neutral and removes item. Hmm. But Gholdengo at 37% - knock off does more than ivy cudgel against it? Ivy Cudgel: 100 BP vs 65 BP. Knock off would do about 65*1.5/100... Actually against Gholdengo (Steel/Ghost), grass resists, knock off is neutral (dark hits steel? No, steel resists dark... Ghost is weak to dark. Net neutral). Ivy Cudgel resisted too (steel resists grass). So knock off is better vs Gholdengo. If they stay in, either kills probably. Let me go ivycudgel - more power, good vs common switches like Great Tusk.
Gemma 4 31B switched toSlowkingGholdengo is at low HP and Ogerpon-Wellspring is a bad matchup. Switching to Slowking-Galar provides a safe pivot and resists Water-type attacks.
Reasoning trace (136 words)
Opposing Ogerpon-Wellspring is active and has already hit Gholdengo with Ivy Cudgel. Gholdengo is at 36.2% HP and is Choice Scarfed. Ogerpon-Wellspring is likely to use Ivy Cudgel again, which will KO Gholdengo. Switching to a resist or a counter is necessary. Great Tusk is a strong option, but Ogerpon-Wellspring's Grass moves hit it hard. Slowking-Galar or Iron Valiant are better options. Slowking-Galar resists Water and is generally bulky. Wait, Gholdengo is Choice Scarfed. It is faster than Ogerpon-Wellspring. Make It Rain does decent damage, but Ogerpon-Wellspring is bulky and might survive. However, switching to Slowking-Galar provides a safe pivot with Chilly Reception. Actually, looking at the matchup, Ogerpon-Wellspring is a bad matchup for Gholdengo. Switching to Slowking-Galar is the safest play to maintain momentum and preserve Gholdengo. Deciding factor: bad matchup to switch out of.

ChillyreceptionSlowking-Galar is at critical HP and cannot survive another hit from Ogerpon. Chilly Reception provides a safe pivot to a counter like Great Tusk or Iron Valiant.
Reasoning trace (48 words)
Slowking-Galar is nearly knocked out (4.6% HP) and Ogerpon-Wellspring is active. Chilly Reception allows for a safe pivot while setting snow, which can be useful, but the priority is getting a healthy counter in. Ogerpon is faster than Slowking. Deciding factor: bad matchup to switch out of.
MiMo V2.6 Flash usedIvycudgelOgerpon outspeeds the slow Slowking-Galar easily, and Ivy Cudgel will knock out the last 5% HP for a clean KO. No need to switch or set up when a guaranteed knockout is on the table.
Reasoning trace (14 words)
Ivy Cudgel will KO Slowking at 5% HP. We're faster. No reason to overthink.
Gemma 4 31B switched toIronIron Valiant is the best matchup here, as it resists Water and can threaten Ogerpon-Wellspring with a powerful Moonblast.
Reasoning trace (69 words)
The opponent has Ogerpon-Wellspring active. My Slowking-Galar just fainted. I need a safe switch-in. Iron Valiant is fast and can threaten Ogerpon with Moonblast, but Great Tusk is a better defensive pivot and can hit back with Earthquake or Knock Off. However, Iron Valiant's speed and offensive pressure are key here to prevent Ogerpon from continuing its sweep. Deciding factor: matchup. Iron Valiant resists Water and hits Ogerpon hard.

ThunderboltIron Valiant is significantly faster than Ogerpon-Wellspring. Thunderbolt is super effective against Ogerpon's Water/Grass typing and will deal the most damage.
Reasoning trace (38 words)
Opposing Ogerpon-Wellspring is active. Iron Valiant is faster (364 vs 110 base/actual speed). Moonblast is the strongest neutral hit, but Thunderbolt hits Ogerpon-Wellspring for super effective damage (Water/Grass). Deciding factor: Type advantage. Thunderbolt is super effective against Water/Grass.

Iron Valiant with booster energy — likely boosted speed (base 116 + boost vs Ogerpon 350 speed... Valiant base 116 speed, with booster speed boost it would outspeed Ogerpon). But it could be attack/spa boost. Ogerpon at 75% HP; Ivy Cudgel (grass) into Valiant — Valiant has low defense (90) but decent HP... Ivy Cudgel should knock out from 100%? STAB 100 BP with 339 attack vs 90 def... likely close to OHKO. But if Valiant is speed boosted, it attacks first and could KO Ogerpon with Moonblast/Magic Leaf/etc. Still, Ivy Cudgel has100 BP and hits hard. Switching out loses momentum. Ogerpon with Water Tera would help survive fairy moves? Tera Water removes grass/fighting weaknesses (weak to flying, poison, psychic, bug, fairy, fire). Tera water resists fire, water... fairy is neutral. The safest is probably just Ivy Cudgel without tera, hoping to tank a hit. But if Valiant is speed booster, it outspeeds (350 vs ~432). Valiant could Moonblast and Ogerpon survives at 75%? Moonblast from booster energy Valiant... with modest specs or LO could KO. Risky. Switching to Kingambit: resists fairy/dark, neutral to fighting; Kingambit is a good check. But Valiant could have close combat. Great Tusk resists... Tusk takes neutral from fairy, resists rock, weak to psychic/ice/grass/water... Fairy is neutral. Gholdengo resists fairy (steel), immune to poison, weak to fire/ground/ghost. Gholdengo at 100% resists Moonblast (steel resists fairy). Valiant with fighting moves threatens Gholdengo though. Hmm. If I switch to Gholdengo, it resists fairy but dies to close combat/knock off. Opponent likely has Moonblast + close combat + knock off + magic leaf/encore. Hard to know. Attacking: Ogerpon Ivy Cudgel likely OHKOs Valiant (90 def, 74 HP, 339 atk, 100 BP STAB, no resist... grass vs fighting/fairy is neutral). Rough calc: 339*2.2... probably 75-90% of Valiant HP with neutral STAB. Might not OHKO. Valiant bulk: 74 HP/90 def.339 atk at1.0x stab... Ivy Cudgel ~ 100 BP * 1.5 stab = 150 effective. Damage≈ (339*150/90 - ...)*... typical: ~65-78%. Not OHKO unless crit/tera. With Tera Water, Ogerpon's attack unchanged (mask stays), but typing changes defensively. Doesn't boost damage. Swordsdance: if Ogerpon survives the hit (booster speed Valiant hits first), SD makes next Ivy Cudgel a guaranteed OHKO. If Valiant's booster is speed, it likely has ~432 speed and Ogerpon can't outrun. Moonblast at ~75%: booster energy Valiant spa ~418 effective... Moonblast 90 BP vs 229 spd. Damage≈ (418*90/2.2...)—rough: 418 spa, 90 BP *1.5 stab = 135. Damage ≈ (135/2.2)*... hmm: (418*135/95)/... Let me just: mods: 2 + (418*135/95)/50 = 2 + 11.85 = 13.85 →13.85/2.5 = 5.54... that's not right formula. Damage = ((2*50/5+2)*BP*A/D)/50 + 2, level 50. ((22)*135*A/D)/50+2. A/D with1.5x boost... Valiant booster spa: base 120 → effective ~1.3x stat = roughly 327+... stats given as base only. Effective spa≈ (2*100+31+0)*120/100/... roughly 200ish at level 100? This is complex. Practically: SD Ogerpon risks dying if Valiant boosts speed and 2HKOs. But Ogerpon at 75%: Moonblast likely ~45-55%. Then SD, survive, +2 KO back. That could work well. Alternatively Ivy Cudgel does70-85%, Valiant then hits again and next Ivy Cudgel finishes. Also fine. I think Swords Dance is greedy but strong; however if Valiant has knock off (likely, removes mask → halves power of mask... actually removes wellspring mask, reducing power and typing). Knock off would remove the mask! That's bad — loses1.2x boost and water typing. Hmm, Ogerpon's mask: without it, Ivy Cudgel loses 20% BP boost. Given risk, attacking with Ivy Cudgel now is safer than SD. Also Knock Off on Valiant could be an option — remove its booster? Booster energy... knock off removes booster, but booster already consumed (boosted stats stay). Actually Booster Energy boosts persist after item removal? No — the boost lasts while holding item? In Gen 9, if booster energy is knocked off, the boost goes away. Actually yes, Quark Drive boost from booster energy requires the item; if knocked off, boost disappears. But if it already outspeeds and attacks first, the damage is done. I'll go Ivy Cudgel — decisive damage. Or Ivy Cudgel with Tera? Tera Water doesn't boost damage. Skip. Actually consider: if Valiant is speed-boosted, it outspeeds; if attack-boosted, Ogerpon (350) outspeeds base116 (~189 stat) unless scarfed. Booster energy attack boost means Ogerpon moves first with Ivy Cudgel ~75%, Valiant survives, hits back with Moonblast ~50%, then Ogerpon finishes next turn with another Ivy Cudgel. If Valiant speed-boosted, it hits first Moonblast ~50%, Ogerpon at 25% hits back for 75%, Valiant at 25%, Valiant outspeeds again and KOs Ogerpon. Hmm, in that scenario Ogerpon faints and Valiant lives at ~25%. Bad. So SD is risky too in speed-boost case: Valiant attacks first (~50%), Ogerpon SDs, survives at 25%, +2 Ivy Cudgel KOs. Then Ogerpon at 25% still alive! Actually that's better than Ivy Cudgel in speed-boost scenario (Ogerpon survives at 25%, Valiant dead). In attack-boost scenario: Ogerpon attacks first, 75% to Valiant; Valiant hits back harder with attack boost (maybe60-70%); Ogerpon survives; next turn KO. With SD: Ogerpon SDs, Valiant hits (attack boost ~65%), Ogerpon survives at ~10%, +2 KOs. Both fine. Tera Water: could improve survival of Moonblast? Moonblast neutral on Water too vs Fairy neutral... Original typing Grass/Fighting: fairy SE (2x). Tera Water: neutral. So Tera Water halves Moonblast damage. And resists fire/water attacks. Tera water Ogerpon keeps mask boost. This seems strong defensively while keeping offense. But Tera Water Ogerpon loses resistance... fine. Best: Ivy Cudgel [TERA]? Tera doesn't boost Ivy Cudgel (no water move besides... Ivy Cudgel is Grass type even with wellspring mask). Actually wait — with Wellpring Mask, does Ogerpon's Ivy Cudgel become Water type? No — Ivy Cudgel is Grass-type for all Ogerpon forms except Hearthflame? Actually Ogerpon-Hearthflame's Ivy Cudgel is Fire type, and Wellspring's is... I recall Ivy Cudgel type changes by mask: Wellspring = Water?? Let me recall: Ogerpon-Wellspring's Ivy Cudgel is Water-type! Yes — Ivy Cudgel type matches the mask: Teal = Grass, Wellspring = Water, Hearthflame = Fire, Cornerstone = Rock. Yes that's right. So Tera Water Ogerpon + Ivy Cudgel (Water) = STAB 1.5 + Tera 1.5 = 2.25x boost vs neutral (fighting doesn't resist water). That's a massive damage boost — likely OHKO on Valiant! And defensively fixes fairy weakness. So Tera Water + Ivy Cudgel is the best play: huge damage + defensive benefit. Let's do that. But if Valiant is speed-boosted it attacks first with Moonblast; without Tera Ogerpon might take ~50%, then Tera Ivy Cudgel (2.2

Opposing Ogerpon-Wellspring is at 43% HP and has +2 Attack. Iron Valiant is faster (364 vs 110 base/boosted). Moonblast or Thunderbolt should secure the knockout before Ogerpon can attack. Moonblast is the strongest neutral move. Deciding factor: likely knockout.

Reasoning trace (501 words)
Iron Valiant is faster (base 116 vs 76 for Ogerpon). Wait, Ogerpon's speed is 350, Iron Valiant base116. Ogerpon speed 350 vs Iron Valiant... booster energy was consumed. Let me think about actual speed: Iron Valiant base 116 speed, Ogerpon base 76? No, Ogerpon base speed is 76? Actually Ogerpon base speed is 76... wait no. Ogerpon's base speed is 76? Let me recall - Ogerpon has base 80 HP, 120 Atk, 84 Def, 60 SpA, 96 SpD, 76 Spe? No... Actually Ogerpon base stats: HP 80, Atk 120, Def 84, SpA 60, SpD 96, Spe 110? Hmm. Ogerpon's speed is actually 110 base I think. Iron Valiant is 116 base. But Ogerpon has 350 speed here, which is quite fast. Wait, but Booster Energy on Iron Valiant boosted... Thunderbolt suggests Special Quark Drive, likely boosting Speed or Special Attack. If it boosted Speed, it's faster. Ogerpon at +2 attack with 339 Atk. Iron Valiant is Fairy/Fighting. Ivy Cudgel (Grass) neutral. At +2, this should KO Iron Valiant easily if we're faster. Speed: Ogerpon at 350. Iron Valiant base 116, at level 100 unboosted would be around 332 without booster. If booster boosted speed, it'd be around 498 or so (1.3x). But Ogerpon used Swords Dance last turn, meaning Iron Valiant moved first with Thunderbolt - confirming Iron Valiant is faster. So Iron Valiant is faster and will attack first. Thunderbolt did 173 damage (301-128). Ogerpon has 128 HP left. Another Thunderbolt likely KOs Ogerpon. Options: - Attack with Ivy Cudgel: We die before attacking (Iron Valiant faster). Unless we survive -128 HP and Thunderbolt does ~173, so we die. - Tera: What type would help? Tera Water resists Electric? No, Water doesn't resist Electric. Tera Grass would make us resist... no. Hmm. Actually, wait. Let me reconsider. Ogerpon's Ivy Cudgel is Grass/Water? No, Ivy Cudgel is Grass type. Well Spring Ogerpon's Ivy Cudgel becomes Water type with the mask? Actually yes! With the Wellspring Mask, Ivy Cudgel becomes Water type. Hmm, but even so, Water doesn't resist Electric. The question is whether to sacrifice Ogerpon to get a hit in, or switch out. But we're slower, so we'll die before we can attack. Switch option: Great Tusk has rocky helmet and good bulk. Switch to Great Tusk to take the Thunderbolt and set up. Actually, let me reconsider - maybe we should just attack and let Ogerpon go down, getting some chip damage in. But if we're slower, we die without doing anything. Best play: Switch to something that can take the hit. Great Tusk is a good option - takes Thunderbolt well and can threaten with Close Combat or set up Stealth Rock. Actually, let me reconsider - if Iron Valiant is faster and uses Thunderbolt which does ~173 to Ogerpon (which has 301 HP), that's about 57% of Ogerpon's HP. Against Great Tusk with 434 HP and much better bulk, it'll do much less. Let's switch to Great Tusk. Then we can threaten with close combat or earthquake.
MiMo V2.6 Flash switched toClodsireIron Valiant outspeeds my whole team except Dragapult, and Dragapult is weak to Moonblast while Dragon Darts can't hit Fairy. Clodsire walls both revealed moves (immune to Thunderbolt, resists Moonblast) with massive special bulk, making it the safest pivot.

Iron Valiant is faster than everything except Dragapult (421 vs 116 base... our Dragapult SPE 421, Valiant's SPE would be around... base 116, at level 100 with EVs ~ 343ish. Our Dragapult outspeeds). Valiant has Thunderbolt and Moonblast. Clodsire has328 SPD, Ground/Poison — immune to Thunderbolt, takes Moonblast neutrally... actually Moonblast vs Poison/Ground: neutral (not very effective? Fairy vs Poison is not very effective... Fairy vs Poison: Poison resists... no wait. Fairy is not very effective against Poison. And Ground. So Moonblast is resisted1/4? Fairy vs Poison = resisted, Fairy vs Ground = neutral. So 1/2. Clodsire walls it well. But Valiant also has Fighting moves likely (close combat, CC). Clodsire takes fighting1x... Poison resists fighting? No, Poison is not resistant to fighting. Ground neither. So neutral. Clodsire has huge SPD 328 and low speed, it can recover. Best switch: Clodsire tanks both Thunderbolt (immune) and Moonblast (resisted), and can't be KO'd easily. Valiant likely has Close Combat/Martial Arts which would hit neutral but Clodsire's HP 464 with decent physical bulk — Def 157 is low though. Valiant ATK 130, CC would hurt. Still, Clodsire is best. Alternatively, Dragapult outspeeds and can U-turn/KO... Valiant at 100% HP, Dragapult's Dragon Darts vs Fairy type: Fairy immune to Dragon! So Dragon Darts does0. U-turn does decent but won't KO. And Valiant can KO Dragapult with Moonblast (super effective vs Dragon). So Dragapult is bad. Kingambit: weak to Fighting (Valiant's CC), weak to... Moonblast super effective? Dark is weak to Fairy. So Kingambit dies. Ogerpon at 42.5% — Fairy vs Grass = neutral, would likely die to Moonblast. Gholdengo: Steel/Ghost — Fairy not very effective vs Steel (1/2), Moonblast neutral... Steel resists Fairy, Ghost neutral. Fighting (CC) vs Steel = neutral, Ghost weak to... Fighting vs Ghost is super effective! So Gholdengo dies to CC. Clodsire is the pick.

ClosecombatClodsire is a passive wall, but Iron Valiant's Close Combat deals massive damage to it. Since Clodsire lacks offensive pressure against Valiant, attacking is the best play.
Reasoning trace (103 words)
The opponent has Clodsire active. Iron Valiant is out. Clodsire is a Poison/Ground type, meaning it resists Fairy and is neutral to Fighting. However, Clodsire is extremely passive and usually carries Toxic or Stealth Rock. Iron Valiant's Close Combat deals significant damage, but switching to a more effective counter or setting up might be better. Wait, Great Tusk is a better match for Clodsire, but Iron Valiant can hit it hard with Close Combat. Let's check the matchup: Clodsire is very slow. Close Combat is the strongest move here. Deciding factor: likely knockout/strong pressure. Close Combat is the best offensive option against Clodsire.
MiMo V2.6 Flash usedToxicspikesClodsire walls Thunderbolt entirely (Ground immunity) and its 328 SpD handles Moonblast comfortably, so the deciding factor is a safe setup window rather than speed or a knockout. Toxic Spikes give lasting value against their grounded Gholdengo and Great Tusk.
Reasoning trace (689 words)
Iron Valiant has Thunderbolt and Moonblast. Clodsire is Ground/Poison — Thunderbolt doesn't affect Ground. Moonblast hits. Clodsire has high SpD (328). Opponent's Iron Valiant is Booster Energy — likely speed boost (spe 116 base, booster speed). Actually with booster energy, could be speed or special attack. It used Thunderbolt and Moonblast, so special attacker — could be SpA boost. Clodsire can tank Moonblast and recover. But what's the best play? Earthquake would do decent damage to Iron Valiant (90 base Def, HP 74). Clodsire's Atk is 167 — not huge. Iron Valiant at 100%. Switching to Gholdengo is immune to nothing relevant... Moonblast hits Gholdengo neutrally, Thunderbolt neutral. Kingambit resists Moonblast (Dark/Steel — Fairy is neutral on Steel? Steel resists Fairy, Dark weak to Fairy → neutral). Kingambit takes neutral Moonblast, and Thunderbolt neutral. Actually Clodsire walls Thunderbolt entirely and has huge SpD. Recover keeps it healthy. But Iron Valiant likely has Close Combat too (Fighting STAB) which would crush Clodsire. Revealed only Thunderbolt and Moonblast though. Booster Energy with those special moves — likely Special Attack boost. Hmm, if Iron Valiant has Close Combat, Clodsire dies. Risky. But we don't know. Given Clodsire's role, Recover is safe-ish. Alternatively Toxic Spikes for long term. Actually, considering Iron Valiant is a mixed attacker with Fighting STAB likely, Clodsire is threatened. Switching to Dragapult (fast, resists nothing... Fairy neutral, Fighting neutral... Ghost weak to nothing here — Moonblast neutral, Thunderbolt neutral) — Dragapult outspeeds (421 vs booster speed Valiant... booster speed Valiant would be ~1.5x of 116 base → very fast, likely faster than Dragapult). Kingambit: Moonblast neutral, Thunderbolt neutral. Kingambit has low SpD (207). Not great. Gholdengo: SpD 218, resists... Fairy neutral, Electric neutral. Good as gold blocks status. I think the deciding factor: Clodsire walls Thunderbolt and has massive SpD, so Recover or Toxic Spikes. Given opponent's Gholdengo at 37% and Great Tusk, Toxic Spikes could be valuable long-term. But if Valiant has Close Combat, Clodsire is in trouble. Actually with Unaware and high HP, Clodsire can take a Close Combat from non-boosted... Booster SpA Valiant Close Combat (120 BP, same type) would do massive damage. Risky. Let me think about what's safest: switching to Dragapult. Dragapult is immune to nothing relevant... wait, Thunderbolt? No, Dragon/Ghost — Electric neutral. Moonblast neutral. But Dragapult is fast (421). Booster Energy Valiant — if speed boost, Spe would be 116*1.3 ≈ 150 base equivalent → stat around 400ish? Actually stat calculation: base 116, level 100, IV 31 → stat = (2*116+31+...)*... roughly 340ish. With 1.5x booster → ~510. That outspeeds Dragapult's 421. If SpA boost, Valiant Spe = ~340, Dragapult outspeeds. Given Valiant used two special moves, likely SpA boost → Dragapult outspeeds and can U-turn or Willowisp. Hmm, but Dragapult taking a Moonblast (neutral, ~95 BP) with 187 SpD — could hurt but survive. I think switching to Dragapult to threaten speed and U-turn is decent. But Clodsire walls Thunderbolt; if Valiant is SpA boosted, Clodsire's SpD 328 handles Moonblast well. Simplest safe play: Recover with Clodsire? That doesn't gain momentum. Actually, considering the opponent revealed Thunderbolt and Moonblast — no Fighting STAB revealed. Clodsire is immune to Thunderbolt. Moonblast does maybe 30-40% to Clodsire. Recover stalls. But that's passive. Earthquake from Clodsire (Atk 167, but Clodsire's Atk is low) vs Valiant Def 90, HP 74 — maybe 40-50%. Not a KO. I'll go with Toxic Spikes — long-term value against their grounded mons (Great Tusk, Gholdengo is Levitate? No, Good as Gold — grounded). Actually Gholdengo is grounded, Great Tusk grounded. TSpikes would poison them. That's valuable. But risk: if Valiant kills Clodsire with Close Combat this turn, we lose a mon. Hmm. Alternatively switch to Gholdengo which is immune to Toxic... no, Good as Gold blocks status moves targeting it — that's for opponent's status. Let me decide: The deciding factor is that Clodsire walls Thunderbolt and has huge special bulk, so it can set Toxic Spikes safely against a special-attacking Valiant. I'll go with toxicspikes. Actually wait — is it better to just Earthquake for damage? Valiant at 100%, Clodsire can't KO. TSpikes provides lasting value. Yes, toxicspikes.

Opponent's Clodsire is active. My Iron Valiant is out. Clodsire is very slow and passive, but it just set Toxic Spikes. Iron Valiant doesn't do much to Clodsire (Close Combat is not very effective).

Iron Valiant has -1 SpD, -1 Def. Clodsire's sludgebomb (90 BP, SpA 126 vs... wait Clodsire SPA is 126) with opponent -1 SpD. Valiant's SpD base 60, -1. Sludgebomb damage: (2*50/250+2)*328... wait attacker's stats: SPA 126? That's low. Actually stats listed: Clodsire SPA: 126, SPD: 328. So Clodsire's special attack is 126 — sludgebomb would be weak. Hmm, wait, maybe stats listed as [HP, ATK, DEF, SPA, SPD, SPE]. So SPA=126. Damage = ((2*50/250+2)*90*126/ (60*0.66))/50+2... let's compute: base power with STAB = 90*1.5=135. Actually formula: ((2*Level/5+2)*BP*A/D)/50+2, Level 50. A = 126, D = 60 * (2/3) = 40. BP = 135. (2*50/5+2) = 22. 22*135 = 2970. 2970*126 = 374220. /40 = 9355.5. /50 = 187.1 + 2 = 189. Valiant HP 74 base → maybe ~280 HP? That's about 67%. Not a KO. Earthquake: A = 167, D = 90*0.667 = 60 (after -1). BP 100, no STAB (Clodsire Ground... wait Clodsire is Poison/Ground, so Ground is STAB → 150). (22 * 150 * 167)/60 = 22*150=3300, *167 = 551100, /60 = 9185, /50 = 183.7 +2 = 185.7. Hmm similar, ~186 vs ~189. Both not KO. Hmm, but Valiant at -1 Def too. Valiant's HP base 74 — max HP maybe 280ish. Both moves do ~185. Not KO. But Clodsire has speed 76 vs Valiant 116 — Valiant outspeeds and hits with Moonblast (super effective... Clodsire Poison/Ground, Moonblast Fairy → not very effective vs Poison? Fairy vs Poison: 0.5x. Fairy vs Ground: 1x. So 0.5x). Thunderbolt: Ground immune → 0. Close Combat: Ground takes 1x, Poison takes... Fighting vs Poison 0.5, vs Ground 1 → 0.5x. So Clodsire handles Valiant's moves fine with its 328 SpD. Valiant at -1 SpD makes it take more. But we need to survive. Actually the deciding factor: can we KO? Both moves fail. Maybe switch to a better attacker? Dragapult outspeeds and hits... Dragon Darts neutral on Fairy/Fighting? Dragon vs Fairy 0.5x. Hmm. Kingambit sucker punch... Valiant likely attacks anyway. Kingambit Kowtow Cleave: Dark vs Fighting 0.5? No wait, Dark vs Fighting = 0.5x? Dark is resisted by Fighting. And Valiant is Fairy/Fighting: Fairy takes Dark 1x (actually Dark vs Fairy = 1x?

My Clodsire fainted. Need to pick a switch-in against Great Tusk at 65% HP, +1 speed, poisoned. Options: - Ogerpon Wellspring at 42.5%: outspeeds (350 vs 87*1.5≈130), knockoff or ivycudgel... but Tusk has earthquake (super effective vs Ogerpon? Ogerpon is Grass/Water, neutral to Ground actually. Grass/Water takes neutral from Ground). Actually wait, Ogerpon at 42.5% could take an earthquake... maybe not, Tusk has high attack. Also Tusk's knockoff would hurt. - Kingambit: super effective... Ground moves hit Steel. Earthquake super effective on Kingambit? Kingambit is Dark/Steel, weak to Ground. Yes. - Dragapult: fast, but physical defense low. Tusk's earthquake would hurt but Dragapult resists... no, Dragon/Ghost doesn't resist Ground. Neutral. - Gholdengo: Steel/Ghost, weak to Ground. Bad. Best play: Dragapult to outspeed and U-turn or willowisp? Actually Ogerpon outspeeds and could knock off or kill. Tusk at 65%... ivycudgel from Ogerpon (339 Atk, 100 BP) probably doesn't KO from 65%. Hmm. Dragapult with U-turn at 339 Atk vs 65% Tusk... probably not KO either. Actually Ogerpon Wellspring: knockoff removes leftovers, then Tusk poisoned will tick down. Ogerpon at 42.5% takes... if Tusk is faster? Ogerpon 350 speed vs Tusk 87 base * 1.5 (boost) - actual speed stat: Tusk SPE 87 base, +1 means... Ogerpon at 350 actual speed vs Tusk's boosted speed. Tusk at 65%... his SPE stat isn't given for opponent, but base 87, likely around 250ish * 1.5 = 375? Hmm, that could outspeed Ogerpon's 350. Actually opponent's Tusk isn't given actual stats. Base 87 SPE. In gen9 Great Tusk commonly runs around 280 speed. +1 = 420. That would outspeed Ogerpon's 350. Hmm, but this Tusk is poisoned with leftovers... unclear EVs. Dragapult at 421 speed — but opponent Tusk +1 could be more than that if fully invested. Actually a typical Great Tusk speed investment gets to about 250-280 raw, +1 makes 375-420. Dragapult at 421 likely faster. Actually safest: send in Dragapult, which likely outspeeds regardless, and U-turn to gain momentum. Or knock out with dragondarts... Dragapult physical with 339 Atk, dragondarts 50 BP x2 = 100 total BP vs Tusk's 65% — probably not KO. I think Willowisp on Dragapult would be great — burn halves Tusk's attack, neutralizes it. Dragapult is fast enough probably. That seems like a strong play. But we don't know if Tusk's +1 speed outspeeds Dragapult. Base 87 +1... Dragapult base 142. Even with modest investment Dragapult should outspeed. Choose Dragapult, willowisp to burn and cripple Tusk. Actually — alternatively just revenge kill. Ogerpon's ivycudgel might kill from 65%. Tusk has high defense (131 base) though, and Ogerpon is physical. Probably not. I'll go with dragapult willowisp. Wait, but willowisp vs Tusk who could have knockoff... fine. Actually consider: after burn, Tusk's attack becomes non-threatening, and we can U-turn later. Yes. Hmm, but Tusk might just spin... no hazards anyway. Or switch out to Iron Valiant (immune? no, burn doesn't affect special attackers much — Valiant is special with moonblast/thunderbolt, burn still halves physical but Valiant special moves unaffected... actually burn only halves physical attack). So burning Tusk specifically is good. Decision: SWITCH: dragapult, then next turn willowisp. But wait — I only get one action now. The action is switching in dragapult. Then turn 11 I choose move. Fine. Alternatively, I could think about who best answers. Let's commit: dragapult.

But Willow has 85% accuracy. Dragondarts is reliable damage -50 BP * 2 hits = 100 BP effectively, STAB Dragon. Against Tusk's weak SpD... wait, Dragondarts is physical. Tusk has 131 defense. Hmm. Actually Willowisp seems strong - burn cuts physical attack, making Tusk much less threatening to my team. Tusk at 65% with burn + poison residual will go down quickly. But there's accuracy risk. Thunder Wave at 90% could paralyze. Actually, let me think about what the opponent might do. Tusk could use Earthquake or Knockoff. Knockoff would remove Dragapult's item. I think Willowisp is the best play - burn cripples Tusk's physical attacks and adds residual damage. The85% accuracy is a risk but the payoff is high.

Opposing Dragapult is much faster than Kingambit. Kingambit is a great check to Dragapult if it doesn't have a fighting move, but Dragapult can hit hard with Shadow Ball or Dragon Dart. Sucker Punch is the only way to hit first if Dragapult attacks. However, Dragapult might use Will-O-Wisp again or switch. Deciding factor: speed. Dragapult outspeeds Kingambit significantly. Sucker Punch is the only priority move, but it's risky. Switching to Iron Valiant or Ogerpon-W might be safer, but Kingambit can potentially OHKO or 2HKO with Kowtow Cleave if it survives. Wait, Kingambit is Dark/Steel, Dragapult is Dragon/Ghost. Kowtow Cleave is super effective. If I use Sucker Punch and Dragapult uses a status move or switches, I fail. If I use Kowtow Cleave, I take a hit first. Iron Valiant is faster than Dragapult? No, Dragapult is base 142, Iron Valiant is base 116. Dragapult outspeeds everything except maybe a Scarf Gholdengo. Actually, Sucker Punch is the most proactive play here to pressure Dragapult. But Kowtow Cleave is more reliable if Dragapult attacks. Let's look at the bench. Ogerpon-W is a good switch if Dragapult uses a Dragon move, but not Ghost. Iron Valiant is a good check. Wait, Dragapult just missed Will-O-Wisp. It's likely to try again or attack. Sucker Punch is the best bet to get a hit in before being hit. Actually, Kowtow Cleave is a guaranteed hit if I survive. Dragapult's Shadow Ball does significant damage to Kingambit.

Mirror Kingambit. Opponent used Sucker Punch last turn. Kowtow Cleave is priority-ignoring... actually Kowtow Cilde has no priority but doesn't get blocked by Protect. Opponent will likely Sucker Punch. If I use Swords Dance, opponent's Sucker Punch breaks through... actually Sucker Punch fails if I use status move — Swords Dance would make their Sucker Punch fail (in Gen 9, Sucker Punch fails if target uses status move). So Swords Dance could be free if they Sucker Punch again. But they might predict and use Kowtow Cleave. Safer: use Kowtow Cleave — it hits through Sucker Punch trades. Both at100%, mirror. My ATK 405 vs theirs ~263ish (base 135+252 adamant = ~196... wait scaled stats). Actually my stats are scaled. Black glasses boost. Kowtow Cleave does big damage. Speed: they're slower (SPE 136 vs base 50). Actually both are Kingambit, both slow. If both Kowtow Cleave, I have Black Glasses, they have unknown item. I'd win the trade probably. But Swords Dance if they Sucker Punch = free +2 and their Sucker fails, then I sweep. Risk: they use Kowtow Cleave and I take a hit but survive (both dark, neutral? Dark vs Dark/Steel = Dark hits Steel... Dark is not very effective vs Steel? Dark vs Steel: neutral. Steel resists Dark? No — Dark resisted by Dark, Fighting, Bug. Steel doesn't resist Dark.

Gemma 4 31B usedSuckerpunchIn a Kingambit mirror match, Sucker Punch is the primary tool to break the stalemate. Since the opponent just switched in, they are likely to either attack or Sucker Punch themselves; Sucker Punch is the best way to maintain pressure.
Reasoning trace (855 words)
The current situation is a Kingambit mirror match. Both are at 100% HP. I have Supreme Overlord active (though only one teammate has fainted, Slowking-Galar, and Great Tusk is still alive, so it's not a huge boost yet). The opponent's Kingambit is likely also running Sucker Punch and Kowtow Cleave. Deciding factor: Speed/Priority. In a mirror match, Sucker Punch is the primary tool for breaking the stalemate. Since I used Sucker Punch last turn (and it presumably hit or the opponent switched in), the opponent is likely to use Sucker Punch now if they expect me to attack. However, Kowtow Cleave is the most reliable damage. Wait, looking at Turn 12: "Your Kingambit used Sucker Punch". The opponent's Kingambit came in. If I used Sucker Punch and the opponent just switched in, the move likely failed or hit the incoming Kingambit. In a mirror match, if both players use Sucker Punch, they both fail. If one uses a move and the other uses Sucker Punch, the Sucker Punch user wins. If both use Kowtow Cleave, the faster one wins (both have base 50 speed, so it's a toss-up or based on EVs). However, the safest play to maintain momentum or force a switch is often Sucker Punch or switching to a counter. Iron Valiant is a great counter to Kingambit (Close Combat). But since I have the advantage of knowing the opponent's team (Dragapult, Gholdengo, Ogerpon-W), and they have lost Great Tusk and Clodsire, I have a slight lead. If I use Sucker Punch and they use Kowtow Cleave, I win. If I use Kowtow Cleave and they use Sucker Punch, I lose. If both use Sucker Punch, nothing happens. Actually, the most consistent way to win a mirror match when you aren't sure of the speed tie is to use Sucker Punch to fish for the KO or force the opponent to switch. But since I just used it, they might expect it. Let's consider switching to Iron Valiant. Iron Valiant destroys Kingambit with Close Combat. Wait, the opponent's Kingambit just came in. They probably want to hit something. If I switch to Iron Valiant, they might use Sucker Punch (which fails against a switch-in) or Kowtow Cleave (which Iron Valiant resists/takes okay). Actually, the most standard play in a mirror match is to use Sucker Punch. Let's re-evaluate: My Kingambit: 100% HP, Black Glasses. Opponent Kingambit: 100% HP. If I use Sucker Punch and they use Kowtow Cleave -> I hit. If I use Kowtow Cleave and they use Sucker Punch -> I get hit. If both use Sucker Punch -> No one hits. The risk of Kowtow Cleave is getting Sucker Punched. The risk of Sucker Punch is nothing happening or getting hit by a non-attacking move (like Swords Dance). However, switching to Iron Valiant is the safest play to guarantee a win over the Kingambit. Wait, looking at the legal actions, I can switch to Iron Valiant. Iron Valiant is 100% HP and has Close Combat. But if I switch, I give the opponent a free turn to Swords Dance or switch to Dragapult. Let's stick with Sucker Punch. It's the standard mirror match play. Actually, looking at the turn history: Turn 12: Opposing Kingambit came in. Your Kingambit used Sucker Punch. If the opponent switched in, Sucker Punch fails because the target wasn't attacking. So the opponent's Kingambit is now facing my Kingambit. If I use Sucker Punch again, and they use Kowtow Cleave, I win. If they use Sucker Punch, we both fail. The most "pro" play here is often to switch to the counter (Iron Valiant) to force them out or kill them, but in high-level OU, the Sucker Punch war is the core of the mirror. However, Iron Valiant is a guaranteed OHKO with Close Combat. Let's check the speed: Iron Valiant is much faster than Kingambit. If I switch to Iron Valiant: - Opponent uses Sucker Punch: Fails. - Opponent uses Kowtow Cleave: Iron Valiant takes it, then OHKOs next turn. - Opponent switches to Dragapult: I can react. If I stay in and use Sucker Punch: - Opponent uses Kowtow Cleave: I hit. - Opponent uses Sucker Punch: No one hits. - Opponent uses Swords Dance: I hit. Sucker Punch is the high-reward play. Switching to Iron Valiant is the low-risk play. Given the state of the game, I'll go with Sucker Punch to keep the pressure. Wait, I just used Sucker Punch on Turn 12. The opponent knows I'm clicking it. They might use Kowtow Cleave expecting me to Sucker Punch again (and they'll get hit) or they might use Sucker Punch themselves. Actually, the most reliable move in a mirror match when you don't want to gamble on Sucker Punch is to switch to the counter. Let's go with Sucker Punch. It's the defining move of Kingambit. <thought> In a Kingambit mirror match, Sucker Punch is the primary tool to break the stalemate. Since the opponent just switched in, they are likely to either attack or Sucker Punch themselves; Sucker Punch is the best way to maintain pressure. </thought> <decision> MOVE: suckerpunch </decision>

Let me think: +2 ATK 405 stat vs 120 def, 100 HP. That's a lot of damage. Probably 60-80%? Not guaranteed KO. Kowtowcleave: 85 BP × 0.5 = 42.5, ×1.5 = 63.75, ×1.2 = 76.5, ×4 = 306. More damage but loses to sucker punch priority. If they sucker punch, I take ~30-40% then hit with sucker punch for 60-80%. Two hits to KO either way probably. Actually if I sucker punch and they sucker punch: I go first, deal ~70%, they survive and hit me for ~35%. Next turn I sucker punch again for KO. If I kowtow and they sucker: they hit me first for 35%, I deal ~85%. Similar. Sucker punch is safer in case they switch or use a status move. Go with sucker punch.

ClosecombatOpposing Kingambit is at +2 Attack and poses a huge threat, but Iron Valiant is much faster and has Close Combat for a likely one-hit knockout.
Reasoning trace (51 words)
The opponent's Kingambit is at +2 Attack and is a massive threat. Iron Valiant is much faster and has a powerful Fighting-type move, Close Combat, which deals massive super-effective damage to Kingambit. Deciding factor: a likely knockout. Close Combat should OHKO or severely damage the +2 Kingambit before it can move.

That's overkill — but Iron Valiant HP stat ~ maybe 300 (base 74). So it's a OHKO easily. Wait, that seems too high. Let's recheck: 22 * 405 = 8910. ×70 = 623,700. /190 = 3282. /50 = 65.6. +2 = 67.6. ×1.5 = 101. ×0.5 = 50.6. ×1.2 = 60. That's wrong too — order: (22 * A * BP)/(D * 50) = (22*405*70)/(190*50) = 623700/9500 = 65.6. +2 = 67.6. STAB ×1.5 = 101. NVE ×0.5 = 50.7. Item ×1.2 = 60.8. Iron Valiant HP ~ maybe 300+. So Sucker Punch does only ~20%. Not a KO. But Iron Valiant hits Kingambit hard: close combat (Fighting) is super effective vs Steel — massive. Moonblast neutral. Kingambit would faint. But wait, Iron Valiant may not KO Kingambit? Kingambit 404 HP, def 276. Close combat from Valiant: Atk ~250ish, BP 120, STAB fighting 1.5, SE vs Steel 2×. That does huge damage — probably OHKO. So we should switch. Sucker punch would fail if opponent uses a non-priority move... opponent might use any attack; sucker punch only works if they attack — but they likely will attack. Still it only does ~20-25%. Switch options: ogerponwellspring at 42.5% — water/grass, takes CC neutral? Fighting vs Water neutral, Grass neutral → CC would hurt but survives maybe. Also Water Absorb if they used a water move (no). dragapult at 100% — Ghost, Fighting moves are... CC vs Ghost: Fighting is not very effective vs Ghost? Ghost resists... Fighting is resisted by Ghost? Type chart: Fighting is not very effective against Poison, Bug, Psychic, Fairy... and Ghost is immune? No — Ghost is weak to Ghost and Dark. Fighting vs Ghost: Ghost resists Fighting? Hmm, actually Fighting moves are not very effective against Ghost? Let's recall: Ghost is immune to Normal and Fighting! Yes — Ghost types are immune to Normal and Fighting moves. So Dragapult switches in safely on Close Combat. But opponent could use Moonblast (Dragon resists? Fairy vs Dragon: Dragon resists... Fairy is SE vs Dragon — no wait, Fairy is super effective against Dragon? Fairy is super effective vs Dragon, Fighting, Dark. Yes! So Moonblast would hit Dragapult for SE damage. Hmm, Dragapult Dragon/Ghost — Fairy SE via Dragon. Thunderbolt neutral on Dragapult. Gholdengo: Steel/Ghost — immune to Fighting (Ghost), Moonblast SE vs Steel? Fairy SE vs... Steel resists Fairy. So Gholdengo takes Moonblast neutral? Fairy vs Steel: Steel resists Fairy. Fairy vs Ghost: neutral. So neutral. Thunderbolt: Steel resists Electric. So Gholdengo is fairly safe: immune to CC (Ghost immunity), resists thunderbolt, neutral moonblast? Actually Steel resists Fairy so it's NVE. Gholdengo at 100% seems good switch. Opponent could also use close combat which does0. Good switch into Gholdengo. But opponent might predict switch and use Moonblast — hits Gholdengo neutral, ~ decent damage. Still survivable. Then Gholdengo at 378 HP vs their Gholdengo etc. Alternatively stay in and sucker punch — but Kingambit likely dies to CC. Hmm, but Kingambit with +2 and sucker punch priority could be valuable later. Switching to Gholdengo seems best. Opponent's CC does nothing. After switch, Gholdengo faces Iron Valiant — can use Make It Rain / shadowball. I'll choose SWITCH: gholdengo. Actually consider dragapult: faster, but Moonblast risk. Gholdengo safer. Legal action: "SWITCH: gholdengo (100.0% HP)" — the action line format from legal actions is "SWITCH: gholdengo" per instructions? The instruction says copy the action from LEGAL ACTIONS without number. Legal action line 11: "SWITCH: gholdengo (100.0% HP)". Example says "SWITCH: <species>". I'll write "SWITCH: gholdengo".

Iron Valiant outspeeds Gholdengo (116 base vs 84 base). It likely has Thunderbolt or Moonblast which hits Gholdengo. Moonblast is neutral... actually Steel/Ghost: Fairy hits Steel neutrally? Fairy is not very effective on Steel... wait Fairy vs Steel: Steel resists Fairy. Ghost is weak to... Fairy hits Ghost neutrally? Fairy deals neutral to Ghost. So Moonblast is resisted by Steel — 0.5x. Thunderbolt: Electric vs Steel resisted? Electric hits Steel... Electric is not very effective vs... Electric is neutral vs Steel actually. Electric vs Ground immune, vs Electric 0.5. Steel: Electric is neutral? Electric is not very effective against Ground, Grass, Dragon... Electric vs Steel neutral. So Thunderbolt neutral on Steel, neutral on Ghost = neutral on Gholdengo. Close Combat: Fighting vs Steel resisted (0.5), Fighting vs Ghost immune (0). So CC is immune overall. Iron Valiant revealed thunderbolt, moonblast, closecombat. Thunderbolt is the threat, neutral. Gholdengo at 378 HP, base SpDef 91, with218 SpD stat. Thunderbolt from 120 SpA Valiant... roughly 40-50%. So Gholdengo survives one and can hit back with Make It Rain (Steel 120 BP, Valiant SpDef 60 base — frail). Should KO. Alternatively switch to something that beats Valiant. Kingambit: Fighting CC would be bad, but Kingambit at +2 from SD turn 13... Kingambit got +2 attack. CC is neutral? Fighting vs Dark/Steel: Dark weak to Fighting, Steel resists → neutral. At +2 Kingambit could KO but Valiant likely CCs first (Kingambit slow). Valiant CC vs Kingambit: 135 base atk +2... risk. Actually simplest: stay in and Make It Rain. Valiant is fast, will attack first. Thunderbolt ~40-50%, Gholdengo survives, Make It Rain KOs frail Valiant (SpDef 60 base, 100% HP...

TBolt neutral before (Steel/Ghost: Electric neutral on both). After Tera Steel: Electric vs Steel neutral. Same. Moonblast: before Steel resists Fairy → 0.5; after Tera Steel still 0.5. So Tera doesn't change much; Tera makes CC neutral (0.5x? before it was 0x immune since Ghost). Worse! Don't Tera. Without Tera: CC immune, Moonblast 0.5, TBolt neutral. Good. So just Make It Rain without Tera. Alternatively Nasty Plot: Valiant attacks, if TBolt, Gholdengo takes ~50%, then NP +2, next turn Make It Rain sweeps. But risk of crit/KO. Make It Rain directly is safer. Decision: makeitrain.
Gemma 4 31B switched toOgerponIron Valiant is completely walled by Gholdengo (immune to Fighting, resists Fairy). This is a bad matchup, so switching to Ogerpon-Wellspring is the best play to maintain offensive pressure and threaten Gholdengo with Knock Off.
Reasoning trace (419 words)
The opponent has Gholdengo active. My Iron Valiant is out. Gholdengo is a Steel/Ghost type, making it immune to Fighting (Close Combat) and resistant to Fairy (Moonblast). Thunderbolt is neutral. However, Gholdengo is a massive threat to my team, and Iron Valiant cannot effectively damage it. Switching to a counter is necessary. Ogerpon-Wellspring is a good option, but Gholdengo can hit it with Make It Rain. Kingambit is resistant to Steel and Ghost (though weak to Fighting, Gholdengo doesn't usually carry it). Great Tusk is a strong physical attacker but weak to Gholdengo's potential moves. Gholdengo is likely to use Make It Rain or Shadow Ball. Switching to Ogerpon-Wellspring or Kingambit is safer. Ogerpon-Wellspring can threaten Gholdengo with Knock Off or potentially outspeed and hit hard if it's not Scarfed. Wait, Gholdengo is slow (84 base), but Iron Valiant is very fast. However, Iron Valiant has no way to hit Gholdengo for significant damage. Deciding factor: bad matchup. Iron Valiant is useless against Gholdengo. Switching to Ogerpon-Wellspring provides a strong offensive presence and a way to remove Gholdengo's item. Wait, Kingambit is also a great switch-in to Gholdengo's Steel/Ghost moves. But Ogerpon-Wellspring is faster and can pressure. Let's look at the opponent's team: Ogerpon-W, Dragapult, Kingambit. Gholdengo is the current active. If I switch to Ogerpon-Wellspring, I can use Knock Off or Ivy Cudgel (though Gholdengo resists Grass). Knock Off is the best bet. Actually, Gholdengo is a Steel type. Ogerpon-Wellspring is Grass/Water. Gholdengo's Make It Rain is Steel. Ogerpon takes neutral damage. Let's consider Kingambit. Kingambit resists Steel and Ghost. It's a very safe switch. However, Ogerpon-Wellspring is a better offensive pivot here. Wait, looking at the legal actions, I have Ogerpon-Wellspring. Let's re-evaluate. Iron Valiant is completely walled by Gholdengo. I must switch. Ogerpon-Wellspring is the best choice to maintain momentum and threaten Gholdengo. Actually, Kingambit is the safest switch-in to Gholdengo's STABs. But Ogerpon-Wellspring can force Gholdengo out or chip it. Let's go with Ogerpon-Wellspring. Wait, Gholdengo might be Choice Scarfed. If it is, Ogerpon-Wellspring (base 110) might be slower than a Scarf Gholdengo (base 84 * 1.5 = 126). If Gholdengo is Scarfed, it can hit Ogerpon hard. Kingambit is the safest. Wait, I have my own Gholdengo (Scarfed). Let's use Ogerpon-Wellspring to keep pressure. Actually, the most consistent play in Gen 9 OU when facing Gholdengo with Iron Valiant is to switch to a resist or a strong attacker. Ogerpon-Wellspring is a great choice. Final check: Iron Valiant cannot hit Gholdengo. Switch to Ogerpon-Wellspring.

U-turn is resisted. Wait, Ogerpon-Wellspring's Ivy Cudgel is Water-type if it's the Water mask? No, the move Ivy Cudgel's type changes based on the mask. Wellspring Mask makes Ivy Cudgel Water-type. Water is neutral to Steel/Dark. Let's check: Kingambit (Steel/Dark). Water is neutral. Ivy Cudgel (Water) BP 100. Kingambit's HP is 61%. A Water-type Ivy Cudgel should do significant damage. However, Kingambit has Sucker Punch. If I attack, I might get hit. Iron Valiant is a safer bet to switch into or use to attack. But Ogerpon is faster and can potentially OHKO or 2HKO. Actually, looking at the stats, Ogerpon's ATK is 339. Kingambit's DEF is 120 base. Ivy Cudgel (Water) should be strong. But Iron Valiant is a guaranteed OHKO with Close Combat. If I switch to Iron Valiant, Kingambit might use Swords Dance or Sucker Punch (which fails). If I stay in and use Ivy Cudgel, I risk a Sucker Punch. Wait, Ogerpon is at 71% HP. Sucker Punch from Kingambit (especially with Supreme Overlord) might be dangerous. But Iron Valiant is 100% HP and resists nothing, but OHKOs.

Ivy Cudgel (Water) vs Kingambit: Ogerpon ATK 339, Kingambit DEF 120 base. It's likely a 2HKO. Iron Valiant is a 1HKO. If I switch to Iron Valiant, Kingambit can't Sucker Punch. But Ogerpon is already in. Let's use Ivy Cudgel to put maximum pressure. Wait, the rules say "Choose the single best action". Iron Valiant is the hard counter. But Ogerpon is faster and can chip it down. Actually, Ivy Cudgel (Water) is neutral. Let's go with Ivy Cudgel. Wait, I just noticed the opponent's Kingambit is at 61%. If I use Ivy Cudgel, and it doesn't KO, Kingambit might Sucker Punch. If I switch to Iron Valiant, I'm safe from Sucker Punch and can OHKO next turn. But Ogerpon is faster. Actually, the most consistent play in high-level OU is to bring in the counter. However, Ogerpon is quite strong. Let's check the damage: Ivy Cudgel (Water) on Kingambit. It's likely to do about 40-50%. If I use Ivy Cudgel, Kingambit might be left in range of other attacks. But Iron Valiant is just better here. Wait, I can just use Ivy Cudgel. It's the most immediate pressure. Actually, looking at the match, the opponent only has Gholdengo and Ogerpon left. If I take out Kingambit, I'm in a great spot. Ivy Cudgel is the way. Wait, I just realized Ogerpon-Wellspring's Ivy Cudgel is Water-type. Water is neutral to Steel/Dark. Let's double check the type effectiveness: Steel (resists Grass, resists Ice, weak to Fire, Fighting, Ground). Dark (weak to Fighting, Bug, Fairy). Water is neutral to both. Ivy Cudgel is the strongest move. Deciding factor: likely knockout or heavy damage. Actually, Iron Valiant is the safer play, but Ogerpon is already there. I'll stick with Ivy Cudgel.

Kingambit at 60% HP, Ogerpon at 72%. Kingambit has 405 Atk with Supreme Overlord boost (fainted teammates: greattusk, dragapult, clodsire = 3 fainted, so boost is 1/(1+3) = 25% boost... actually Supreme Overlord boosts by 10% per fainted ally, so 30% boost). Wait, Supreme Overlord: "boosts the power of moves by 10% for each fainted Pokémon" - so 3 fainted = 30% boost. Kowtow Cleave at 405 Atk * 1.3 = ~526 effective Atk. Against Ogerpon-Wellspring at 72% HP with 96 SpD/84 Def... Ogerpon has low defense (84 base). Kowtow Cleave should do massive damage. Actually, let me think about whether Sucker Punch or Kowtow Cleave is better. Ogerpon is faster (110 base Spe vs Kingambit's 50). So Ogerpon moves first. Ivy Cudgel did about 159 damage (404-245) last turn. Another Ivy Cudgel would do similar, bringing Kingambit to ~86 HP. Kowtow Cleave should easily KO Ogerpon from 72%. Let me estimate: 405 Atk (with 30% boost from Supreme Overlord = ~526 effective) vs Ogerpon's defense. Ogerpon at level 100 with 84 base Def... this is hard to calculate exactly but Kowtow Cleave from a boosted Kingambit should do well over 72% to a physically frail Ogerpon. Sucker Punch has priority so it would hit first, but if opponent switches, it fails. Kowtow Cleave is more reliable. Actually, Sucker Punch with priority would KO before Ogerpon can move - that's better if it kills. But if opponent switches to something that resists Dark... Kingambit's own Gholdengo resists Dark (Steel/Ghost - Steel resists Dark). Ironvaliant is Fairy/Fighting - neutral to Dark. Great Tusk - neutral. Kowtow Cleave is safer since it always hits. Let me go with Kowtow Cleave - it should KO Ogerpon and if it doesn't, we still have Kingambit alive. Actually, Sucker Punch guarantees we move first and potentially KO. If Ogerpon stays in, Sucker Punch KOs it before it can hit us again. If it switches, Sucker Punch fails but we're still alive. Kowtow Cleave is more reliable overall. Let me go with Kowtow Clead.

My Ogerpon at 42.5% — opponent's Ogerpon at 72%. Ivy Cudgel would likely KO me. Gholdengo resists Grass (Grass is not very effective against Steel) — Ivy Cudgel vs Gholdengo would be resisted. Gholdengo at full HP, can recover. Switch Gholdengo in. Ogerpon-Wellspring at 42.5% risks being KO'd by Ivy Cudgel (super effective? Grass vs Grass/Water — neutral actually, but still). Gholdengo resists Grass. Switch gholdengo.

NastyplotGholdengo is at full HP and resists Ivy Cudgel, so Ogerpon likely can't KO it this turn even with Knock Off. Setting up a Nasty Plot lets Make It Rain pick up the knockout next turn and pressure the rest of their team; speed isn't an issue since we survive the incoming hit.
Reasoning trace (477 words)
Gholdengo at full HP vs Ogerpon at 72%. Ogerpon's Ivy Cudgel would likely KO Gholdengo (100 BP grass move vs Steel/Ghost... Gholdengo resists grass? Steel resists grass, Ghost neutral. So 2x resist). Knock off is dark, super effective vs Ghost. Ogerpon at 72% with 120 ATK (boosted by mask? base 120 shown). Knock off BP 65 SE... Gholdengo 378 HP, 226 DEF. Ogerpon attack 339? No, opponent's Ogerpon stats not shown fully—base ATK 120, but actual stats unknown. Assume ~250ish with mask boost? Ogerpon Wellspring mask boosts Water only. Ivy Cudgel resisted, knock off SE. Make It Rain 120 BP STAB vs Ogerpon 96 base SpD, at 72% HP — likely not a KO. Ogerpon's knock off could do big damage but Gholdengo has 100% HP. Best: Make It Rain for damage, or Nasty Plot. Ogerpon likely knocks off item or attacks. Gholdengo survives knock off probably. Nasty Plot then Make It Rain could sweep. But Ogerpon at 72%, make it rain after plot would KO. Actually consider: opponent might switch to Kingambit (100%) which walls Gholdengo. Sucker punch... Kingambit at 100%. Safe play: Make It Rain to damage whatever comes in. Or Nasty Plot if we predict a switch. Opponent Ogerpon at 72% is threatened; they might preserve it. I'll go Nasty Plot — if they stay, knock off does maybe 40-50%, we survive and KO next turn with Make It Rain +1. If they switch to Kingambit, +1 Make It Rain still does decent but Kingambit resists... Kingambit Dark/Steel: Steel resists, Dark resists — 4x resist. Hmm. Make It Rain on Ogerpon directly: 120 BP STAB vs 96 SpD at 72%... Gholdengo SpA 303. Probably ~60-70%. Might not KO. Knock off from Ogerpon on Gholdengo: SE, 65 BP. Gholdengo 226 DEF, Ogerpon ATK maybe ~250. ~50% damage maybe. Gholdengo survives, then Make It Rain KOs. I'll pick Nasty Plot for the sweep potential — but risk of Kingambit switch-in with sucker punch. Actually if they switch to Kingambit and we nasty plot, sucker punch... Kingambit has sucker punch revealed. +1 shadow ball does decent to Kingambit? Ghost vs Dark/Steel: Dark resists... 4x? Steel doesn't resist ghost, Dark resists ghost → 2x resist. Meh. Safer: Make It Rain now. It hits Ogerpon hard, and if Kingambit switches in it's 4x resisted (120→30 BP effective) — bad. Hmm. Predicting opponent: Ogerpon at 72% facing Gholdengo. Ogerpon outspeeds (110 vs Gholdengo ~293 Spe... Gholdengo Spe 293, Ogerpon base 110 → ~242? Actually Gholdengo base 84 → 293 with investment? That seems high. Ogerpon base 110 → maybe 350ish. Ogerpon faster.) Ogerpon likely uses knock off (SE) or ivycudgel. Gholdengo survives both probably at full HP. Then we retaliate. Nasty Plot: survive hit, then +2 Make It Rain KOs Ogerpon and damages whatever. But if we're at ~50% after hit, still fine. I'll go Nasty Plot for the sweep.

The opponent has only Ogerpon-Wellspring and Gholdengo left. I have Ogerpon-Wellspring, Great Tusk, Gholdengo, Kingambit, and Iron Valiant. The opponent's Gholdengo is active. My Ogerpon-Wellspring is active. Gholdengo is a Steel/Ghost type. Ogerpon's Grass and Water moves are not very effective or neutral. Knock Off is neutral. Gholdengo's Make It Rain is super effective against Ogerpon (Grass/Water). I need to switch to a counter. Iron Valiant is a great choice here as it resists Steel (if Tera) or can outspeed and hit hard with Close Combat. Kingambit also resists Steel and can hit Gholdengo with Sucker Punch or Kowtow Cleave. However, Iron Valiant is faster and can potentially OHKO or 2HKO Gholdengo with Close Combat. Wait, Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost. Close Combat is super effective. Let's check speed: Iron Valiant (364) > Gholdengo (84 base, likely around 200-250). Iron Valiant is the best offensive answer here. Deciding factor: bad matchup (Ogerpon vs Gholdengo).

KingambitOpposing Gholdengo is at +2 Special Attack and Iron Valiant cannot damage it. Switching to Kingambit is the best play as it resists Make It Rain and can threaten Gholdengo.
Reasoning trace (212 words)
Opposing Gholdengo just used Nasty Plot (+2 SpA). Iron Valiant is active. Gholdengo is a Steel/Ghost type, making it immune to Fighting and resistant to Fairy. Iron Valiant cannot hit Gholdengo for significant damage with its current moveset (Moonblast is resisted, Close Combat is immune). The deciding factor is a bad matchup; Iron Valiant is completely walled by Gholdengo and will be OHKO'd by a +2 Make It Rain. I need to switch to a Pokémon that can handle Gholdengo. Kingambit is a great switch-in to Gholdengo, as it resists Steel and can hit back with Sucker Punch or Kowtow Cleave (though Gholdengo is Ghost, so Kowtow Cleave hits, but Gholdengo is faster than Kingambit). However, Gholdengo is likely to use Make It Rain. Great Tusk is also an option, but Kingambit's typing is better here. Wait, Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost. Kingambit is Steel/Dark. Make It Rain is Steel. Kingambit resists Steel. Wait, Gholdengo's Make It Rain is Steel. Kingambit resists Steel. Gholdengo's Shadow Ball is Ghost. Kingambit is neutral to Ghost. Let's check the bench: - Great Tusk: Ground/Fighting. Resists Steel? No, neutral. - Gholdengo: Steel/Ghost. Resists Steel. - Kingambit: Steel/Dark. Resists Steel. - Ogerpon-W: Grass/Water. Weak to Steel. Kingambit is the safest switch-in to absorb the +2 Make It Rain.
MiMo V2.6 Flash usedMakeitrainIron Valiant is faster but frail; Gholdengo is at +2 SpA and full HP. Make It Rain is super effective against Fairy/Fighting and should knock it out from 100%, and even if they switch, it deals solid damage to most of their remaining team.
Reasoning trace (383 words)
Iron Valiant is faster (SPE 116 base vs Gholdengo 84 base) but Gholdengo already set up +2 SpA. Iron Valiant at 100% - what can it do to Gholdengo? Moonblast is super effective against Steel/Ghost? No - Steel resists Fairy, Ghost takes neutral from Fairy. So Moonblast is neutral. Close Combat is super effective against... Steel/Ghost? Fighting hits Steel super effectively, Ghost is immune to Fighting. So Fighting moves are neutral (Steel weak, Ghost immune = neutral). Thunderbolt neutral. Gholdengo at +2 with Make It Rain or Shadow Ball. Iron Valiant has 60 SpD base - very frail. +2 Make It Rain should OHKO. But opponent might switch or Tera. If opponent switches to Kingambit, Make It Rain does decent damage. Shadow Ball hits Kingambit for neutral (Ghost vs Dark/Steel: Dark resists Ghost? No - Dark is weak to... wait. Ghost vs Dark = super effective (2x). Ghost vs Steel = resisted (0.5x). So neutral on Kingambit. Against Great Tusk (Ground/Fighting): Make It Rain is resisted (Steel vs Ground = neutral? Steel vs Fighting = resisted. Steel vs Ground = neutral. So 0.5x). Shadow Ball vs Ground/Fighting: Ghost vs Ground neutral, Ghost vs Fighting neutral = neutral. Against Gholdengo: Make It Rain neutral, Shadow Ball neutral. Against Ogerpon Wellspring: Make It Rain neutral, Shadow Ball neutral (Grass/Water). Make It Rain hits Iron Valiant super effectively (Steel vs Fairy = super effective). Shadow Ball also hits hard on60 SpD. I think Make It Rain is the play here - it should knock out Iron Valiant from100% at +2. Even if they switch, it does good damage. Actually, let me reconsider - Tera Steel Make It Rain would be even stronger and ensure the KO even through Focus Sash or resist. Iron Valiant could have Focus Sash... but at 100% HP, Focus Sash wouldn't matter for survival since it's already full. Sash only helps at 100% if the hit would be a OHKO - wait, Sash prevents OHKO from full HP. So Tera Make It Rain might be needed if they have Sash. But Iron Valiant typically doesn't run Sash on offensive sets. And even if they do, we can hit again since we're at full HP and they can't OHKO us easily. I'll go with Make It Rain to knock out the Iron Valiant.

Shadow Ball KO's Kingambit at 37%. Actually, Make It Rain was not very effective against Kingambit (Steel resists). Shadow Ball is neutral (Ghost vs Dark/Steel — Steel doesn't resist Ghost, Dark doesn't resist Ghost). Neutral hit at +1 should KO from 37%. Sucker punch would fail if we use a status move, but we're attacking. Shadow Ball is the play — it's faster and should KO.

Opponent's Gholdengo is +1 SpA and has Make It Rain. My Kingambit is at 36.7% HP and will be OHKO'd by another Make It Rain. Gholdengo is slower than Kingambit but faster than most of my other options except Iron Valiant. However, Kingambit's Sucker Punch provides priority. Gholdengo cannot be hit by Dark moves if it's not Dark-type, but wait, Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost. Dark moves (Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch) are super effective against Ghost. Deciding factor: Gholdengo is Ghost-type, making it weak to Dark moves. Sucker Punch allows Kingambit to hit first if Gholdengo attacks. Kowtow Cleave is stronger and guaranteed if Gholdengo doesn't switch. Given Gholdengo's +1 SpA, Kingambit cannot survive another hit. Sucker Punch is the safest bet to secure a knockout or heavy damage before being KO'd. Wait, Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost. Dark is super effective. Kingambit is faster than Gholdengo (199 vs 84 base speed, though stats are modified). Kingambit can just use Kowtow Cleave to OHKO. Let's check speed: Kingambit (199) > Gholdengo (84 base, likely around 150-200). Actually, looking at the stats provided: Kingambit SPE: 199. Gholdengo's base SPE is 84. Kingambit is almost certainly faster. Kowtow Cleave is the most reliable high-damage move. <thought> Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost and weak to Dark.

My options: - Great Tusk: Weak to Grass. - Gholdengo: Resists Grass, but Ogerpon might have a move for it or just use Ivy Cudgel. - Kingambit: Very low HP (5%), will be OHKO'd. - Ogerpon-Wellspring: Resists Water, neutral to Grass. Gholdengo is the safest bet to take a hit and potentially retaliate, or Ogerpon-Wellspring to mirror and out-muscle. However, Gholdengo's Choice Scarf makes it faster than Ogerpon (293 vs 110 base, but let's check actual stats). Ogerpon's speed is 110. Gholdengo's speed is 84 * 1.5 = 126. Gholdengo is faster. Wait, Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost. Ogerpon-Wellspring is Grass/Water. Gholdengo resists Grass. Shadow Ball or Make It Rain should do significant damage. Actually, my Ogerpon-Wellspring is also a great choice. But Gholdengo is faster and resists the primary STAB. Deciding factor: Matchup/Speed. Gholdengo resists Grass and is faster with Choice Scarf.
