- Team previewDeepSeek V4.1 Flash brought
Glimmora,gholdengo,dragoniteGlimmora is the ideal lead with Focus Sash to set Stealth Rock and Spikes, while Gholdengo blocks Defog with Good as Gold. Dragonite provides a strong win condition with Multiscale and Dragon Dance, and our speed advantage lets it outspeed most threats.
Reasoning trace (785 words)
We need to choose 3 Pokémon to bring. This is team preview. We need to pick a good core. Opponent has similar team. Let's think about matchup. Our team: glimmora, dragonite, gholdengo, kingambit, garganacl, annihilape. Opponent's team is the same species set. So it's a mirror match essentially, but with different sets possibly. We need to pick 3 that work well together. Common strong picks: Dragonite with Multiscale + Dragon Dance, Gholdengo with Nasty Plot, Kingambit with Supreme Overlord. Or Glimmora as hazard lead with Focus Sash. Given it's bring 6 pick 3, we want a solid core. Glimmora is a good lead to set hazards. But opponent also has Glimmora. Let's think: Our Glimmora has Focus Sash, can set Stealth Rock and Spikes. Mortal Spin to remove hazards. Earth Power for coverage. Dragonite: Multiscale + Lumberry, Dragon Dance, Extreme Speed, Earthquake, Ice Spinner. Good sweeper. Gholdengo: Nasty Plot, Make It Rain, Shadow Ball, Recover. Good special attacker. Kingambit: Swords Dance, Sucker Punch, Kowtow Cleave, Iron Head. Good late-game cleaner. Garganacl: Salt Cure, Recover, Iron Defense, Body Press. Defensive. Annihilape: Bulk Up, Rage Fist, Drain Punch, Taunt. Bulky setup. We need to consider opponent's likely picks. They might bring Glimmora, Dragonite, Gholdengo, etc. A good strategy: bring Glimmora as lead to set hazards, then Dragonite and Gholdengo as sweepers. Or bring Kingambit for priority. But we need to consider that opponent might have Kingambit with Sucker Punch, which can threaten Gholdengo and Dragonite. Let's think about speed tiers: Our Glimmora has 151 speed, Gholdengo 149, Dragonite 132, Annihilape 110, Kingambit 70, Garganacl 55. Opponent's base stats: Glimmora 86, Dragonite 80, Gholdengo 84, Kingambit 50, Garganacl 35, Annihilape 90. So our Pokémon are likely faster? Actually these are base stats, but our stats are given as final stats at level 50. Our Glimmora has 151 speed, which is very high. Opponent's Glimmora base speed 86, so likely slower. Our Gholdengo 149, opponent's Gholdengo base 84, likely slower. Our Dragonite 132, opponent's base 80, likely slower. So we have speed advantage. But we don't know opponent's EV spreads. They might be invested. Given we have speed advantage, we can bring offensive Pokémon that can outspeed and KO. Consider bringing Glimmora, Gholdengo, Dragonite. Glimmora sets hazards, Gholdengo and Dragonite sweep. Alternatively, bring Kingambit for Sucker Punch priority to handle faster threats. But we need to pick 3. Let's think about synergy: Glimmora sets Stealth Rock and Spikes, which helps wear down opponent. Gholdengo blocks Defog and Rapid Spin? Actually Gholdengo's Good as Gold blocks status moves, so it blocks Defog. That's great with hazards. Dragonite is a strong sweeper with Multiscale. So a core of Glimmora + Gholdengo + Dragonite seems strong. Glimmora leads, sets hazards, then Gholdengo and Dragonite clean up. But what if opponent leads with something that threatens Glimmora? Glimmora is Rock/Poison, weak to Ground, Water, Steel, Psychic. Opponent's Glimmora might have Earth Power, which is super effective. But we have Focus Sash, so we can survive one hit and set hazards. Alternatively, we could lead with Dragonite to set up Dragon Dance. But Glimmora is a better lead for hazards. Let's consider opponent's possible leads: They might lead with Glimmora, Dragonite, Gholdengo, etc. If they lead with Glimmora, our Glimmora can set hazards and then we can switch to Gholdengo to block their hazards? Actually Gholdengo blocks status moves, so if they try to set Stealth Rock, it fails. But they might attack. I think bringing Glimmora, Gholdengo, Dragonite is a solid choice. But let's also consider Kingambit. Kingambit with Supreme Overlord gets stronger as teammates faint. In a 3v3, it can be a strong late-game cleaner. But it's slow, relies on Sucker Punch. Annihilape is also good with Bulk Up and Rage Fist. Garganacl is a defensive wall with Salt Cure. Given the format, I think an offensive core is better. Let's go with Glimmora, Gholdengo, Dragonite. But wait, our Dragonite has Lumberry, which cures status. That's good against Will-O-Wisp or Thunder Wave. Our Gholdengo has Wise Glasses, boosting special attacks. Our Glimmora has Focus Sash, ensuring it survives one hit. I think this is a good team. Let's double-check if there's any reason to bring Kingambit over one of these. Kingambit is slow, but Sucker Punch is priority. However, Gholdengo and Dragonite are faster and can hit hard. Dragonite has Extreme Speed priority too. I'll go with Glimmora, Gholdengo, Dragonite. But the order matters: the first one leads. So we should lead with Glimmora to set hazards. Then Gholdengo and Dragonite in the back. So BRING: glimmora, gholdengo, dragonite. Let's confirm the format: "BRING: <species>, <species>, ..." with species names in lowercase as given. So: BRING: glimmora, gholdengo, dragonite I'll output that.

TauntDeepSeek V4.1 Flash usedStealthrockGlimmora is much faster than Annihilape and holds Focus Sash, so it survives any one hit and can set hazards. Annihilape is a bulky setup mon, so establishing Stealth Rock now gives long-term value while Glimmora still has its sash intact.
Reasoning trace (196 words)
Glimmora vs Annihilape. Annihilape likely has Drain Punch/Bulk Up/Rage Fist. Glimmora is faster (151 vs 110). Earth Power hits Annihilape neutrally (Ground vs Fighting/Ghost - Ground is neutral vs both). Actually Ground vs Ghost is neutral, vs Fighting neutral. So Earth Power is neutral. Annihilape could threaten with Drain Punch (Fighting vs Rock/Poison - super effective 2x). Glimmora has Focus Sash so survives one hit. Best to set hazards? Or attack? Glimmora's role is hazard setter. But Annihilape can Taunt. Setting Stealth Rock is good. But Annihilape might just attack. With Focus Sash, Glimmora survives and can set hazards. Actually, Mortal Spin removes hazards and poisons. But no hazards on our side. Earth Power does decent damage. Annihilape is bulky (110 HP). Earth Power from 182 SpA should do decent damage. But Annihilape likely has high HP. Best play: set Stealth Rock to gain hazard advantage. Glimmora survives with Focus Sash. Actually if Annihilape uses Drain Punch, it's super effective and Glimmora survives at 1 HP via sash, then sets rocks. Good. But Annihilape could Taunt. Hmm. Or set up Bulk Up. I think Stealth Rock is the standard lead play. Let me go with that.

Reasoning trace (691 words)
We need answer with thought and decision. Need choose best action. State: Glimmora vs Annihilape, turn 2. We set rocks, got taunted. Glimmora has Focus Sash, Toxic Debris. Annihilape likely can KO? Annihilape has Fighting/Ghost, moves unknown but likely Rage Fist, Drain Punch, Bulk Up, Taunt. Glimmora Rock/Poison: weak to Ground? Annihilape Fighting moves neutral? Drain Punch vs Rock/Poison: Fighting is super effective against Rock? Fighting vs Rock 2x, vs Poison 0.5x? Actually Fighting vs Rock: 2x, vs Poison: 0.5x, net 1x? Wait Rock/Poison: Fighting 2x Rock * 0.5 Poison = 1x. Ghost vs Rock/Poison: Ghost vs Rock 1x? Ghost vs Poison 1x? Ghost vs Rock 1x, Poison 1x? Actually Ghost vs Poison 1x, Rock 1x, so neutral. Rage Fist Ghost neutral. So Annihilape doesn't hit super effectively. Glimmora can Earth Power? Annihilape is Fighting/Ghost, Ground vs Ghost? Ground vs Ghost 1x? Ground vs Fighting 1x? Actually Ground vs Ghost 1x, vs Fighting 1x. Earth Power neutral. Mortal Spin Poison vs Ghost? Poison vs Ghost 0.5x? Poison vs Ghost: 0.5? Poison is not very effective against Ghost? Poison vs Ghost: 0.5x (Ghost resists Poison? Actually Ghost is immune to Normal/Fighting, Poison vs Ghost 0.5? Let's recall: Poison vs Ghost: 0.5x? Yes Poison is not very effective against Ghost. Poison vs Fighting: 1x. So Mortal Spin weak. We have Focus Sash, so can survive one hit. We could set Spikes? But Taunt prevents status moves. Taunt active? Opponent used Taunt turn 1, likely Taunt lasts 3 turns. So cannot use Stealth Rock/Spikes. We can attack or switch. Glimmora's Earth Power is best damage. But Annihilape likely can Bulk Up or attack. We want to preserve Glimmora? It has Focus Sash, can get up hazards later? But Taunt blocks. Maybe switch to Gholdengo? Gholdengo immune to Fighting? Ghost/Steel: Fighting immune? Ghost immune to Fighting, Steel weak to Fighting? Actually Ghost/Steel: Fighting is immune due to Ghost? Fighting vs Ghost = 0, so immune. Annihilape's Fighting moves won't hit Gholdengo. Ghost moves? Gholdengo Steel/Ghost: Ghost vs Steel 0.5? Ghost vs Ghost 2x? Wait Ghost vs Steel: 0.5x? Ghost vs Ghost: 2x. So Rage Fist (Ghost) would be super effective? Actually Ghost vs Steel: 0.5x, vs Ghost: 2x, net 1x? Let's compute: Ghost attacking Steel/Ghost: vs Steel 0.5, vs Ghost 2, product 1x. So neutral. Gholdengo resists Fighting (immune) and neutral to Ghost. Gholdengo can Nasty Plot or Shadow Ball. Annihilape might have Taunt, but Gholdengo has Good as Gold, immune to Taunt! So switching Gholdengo is great: immune to Taunt, can set up Nasty Plot or attack. Also Gholdengo can threaten with Shadow Ball? Shadow Ball vs Annihilape: Ghost vs Ghost 2x? Annihilape is Fighting/Ghost, Ghost vs Ghost 2x, vs Fighting 1x, so 2x super effective. So Gholdengo can hit hard. Also Gholdengo is faster? Gholdengo speed 149 vs Annihilape 90, so Gholdengo outspeeds. So switch to Gholdengo is likely best. But is there any risk? Annihilape might use Rage Fist, which gets stronger with hits. But Gholdengo can take neutral. Also Annihilape might Bulk Up. But Gholdengo can Nasty Plot. So switch to Gholdengo seems strong. Alternatively, stay in and Earth Power? Glimmora has Focus Sash, can do decent damage, but Annihilape might KO? Actually Annihilape's Drain Punch neutral, Rage Fist neutral. Glimmora's Earth Power is special, Annihilape's SpD 90, HP 110, likely survives. Glimmora is faster (151 vs 90). Could Earth Power then Focus Sash survive and maybe KO? Not likely. But we have Gholdengo as better matchup. Also we need to consider opponent's team: they have Glimmora, Dragonite, Gholdengo, Kingambit, Garganacl. Our team: Dragonite, Gholdengo, Kingambit, Garganacl, Annihilape, Glimmora. We need pick 3? Actually battle already started, we have 6? The format says bring 6 pick 3? But current battle shows our bench with 5 others, so we have 6 total? Actually we have Glimmora active, bench: dragonite, gholdengo, kingambit, garganacl, annihilape. That's 6 total. So it's bring 6 pick 3? But we have 6? Maybe it's 6v6? The format says gen9championsrotomarenabssregmb, maybe bring 6 pick 3? But we have 6. Anyway. Best action: switch to Gholdengo. It's immune to Taunt, resists Fighting, can threaten Annihilape with Shadow Ball. Also Gholdengo

TauntDeepSeek V4.1 Flash usedShadowballGholdengo is immune to Drain Punch and blocks Taunt with Good as Gold, so Annihilape can barely touch it. Shadow Ball is super effective on Annihilape's Ghost typing and Gholdengo outspeeds, so attack now.
Reasoning trace (82 words)
Gholdengo is immune to Drain Punch (Ghost vs Fighting) and immune to Taunt via Good as Gold. Annihilape's Ghost moves would hit Gholdengo neutrally, but revealed moves are Taunt and Drain Punch. Shadow Ball hits Annihilape super effectively (Ghost vs Ghost). Make It Rain is Steel, neutral vs Fighting/Ghost. Shadow Ball is best. Annihilape is faster? Annihilape base speed 90, Gholdengo 149... wait Gholdengo speed stat 149 vs Annihilape 90 base. Gholdengo is faster. Shadow Ball likely 2HKOs. Go for Shadow Ball.

DragoniteDeepSeek V4.1 Flash usedShadowballShadow Ball already took Annihilape from full to 22% before its Sitrus Berry; a second Shadow Ball should knock it out. Gholdengo is much faster (149 vs 90), so it moves first and secures the KO.
Reasoning trace (26 words)
Shadow Ball already did ~50% to Annihilape (from 100 to 22, then berry to 47). Another Shadow Ball should KO. Gholdengo is faster (149 vs 90).

Reasoning trace (59 words)
Dragonite at 27% HP, likely Multiscale broken by Stealth Rock? Actually Stealth Rock hit it. Shadow Ball should KO. Gholdengo is faster (149 vs 80). Make It Rain also works but Shadow Ball is safe and doesn't drop SpA. Actually Dragonite is Dragon/Flying, Shadow Ball neutral. Make It Rain is Steel, also neutral. Either KOs. Shadow Ball preserves SpA.

Reasoning trace (21 words)
Shadow Ball is super effective on Annihilape (Ghost/Fighting) and Gholdengo is faster (149 vs 90). Annihilape at 41% should be KO'd.
Chimps at the Zoo switched toKingambit - Turn 7Chimps at the Zoo used
KowtowcleaveDeepSeek V4.1 Flash usedMakeitrainKingambit is Dark/Steel, so Gholdengo's Ghost STAB is heavily resisted and Make It Rain is only 0.5x, but Gholdengo resists Kingambit's Steel STAB and is much faster. Make It Rain is the strongest available chip while staying safe; switching would just give Kingambit a free Swords Dance.
Reasoning trace (658 words)
Kingambit is Dark/Steel. Gholdengo's Shadow Ball is Ghost — neutral vs Dark/Steel? Ghost vs Dark is 0.5x, vs Steel 0.5x... actually Ghost vs Steel is 0.5x, Ghost vs Dark is 0.5x, so 0.25x. Bad. Make It Rain is Steel vs Dark/Steel: Steel vs Steel 0.5x, vs Dark 1x = 0.5x. Hmm. Kingambit likely has Sucker Punch. Gholdengo is faster (149 vs 70). Make It Rain does decent damage even at 0.5x. But Kingambit could Sucker Punch. Gholdengo resists Dark? Ghost/Steel: Dark is 2x vs Ghost... Steel resists Dark, so neutral. Sucker Punch would hit. Actually best play: Make It Rain for damage, or switch to a counter. Kingambit is slow. Gholdengo can't do much damage. Better to switch to something that handles Kingambit — Annihilape with Drain Punch? But Annihilape is on bench... wait, bench shows annihilape. Actually bench lists glimmora, dragonite, kingambit, garganacl, annihilape. Legal switches only glimmora and dragonite. Glimmora: Rock/Poison. Kingambit's Iron Head is Steel vs Rock 2x, vs Poison 1x = 2x. Bad. But Glimmora has Earth Power which is 2x vs Kingambit (Steel). Glimmora is faster (151 vs 70). Earth Power would hit hard. But Kingambit Sucker Punch... Glimmora is Rock/Poison, Sucker Punch neutral. Actually Gholdengo Make It Rain: 120 BP * 0.5 = 60 effective, STAB 1.5 = 90. With 185 SpA vs Kingambit's 85 SpD. That's decent damage. Kingambit Sucker Punch vs Gholdengo neutral. Hmm, but Kingambit with Supreme Overlord and possibly Swords Dance could be dangerous. Let me think about what's best. Gholdengo is faster. Make It Rain does solid damage. But Kingambit might Sucker Punch — Sucker Punch only works if Gholdengo attacks. If Gholdengo uses Nasty Plot, Sucker Punch fails. But then Kingambit could Swords Dance or Kowtow Cleave. Actually the safest: switch to Glimmora and Earth Power next turn? But switching gives Kingambit a free turn. Let me consider: Gholdengo Make It Rain. Kingambit at 94%. Make It Rain 0.5x STAB... let's estimate. 185 SpA, 120 BP, 0.5 type, 1.5 STAB = effective 90 BP. Kingambit 100 HP base, 85 SpD. Probably does ~40-50%. Not a KO. Alternatively, Glimmora Earth Power: 90 BP * 2x = 180 effective, STAB? No, Glimmora is Rock/Poison, Earth Power no STAB. 182 SpA. That's strong. But switching means Kingambit gets a free hit. Actually, Kingambit is slow. If we switch to Glimmora, Kingambit attacks Glimmora. Iron Head 2x vs Rock... could hurt. But Glimmora has Focus Sash! So it survives one hit. Then Earth Power KOs? Kingambit is bulky though. Hmm, but Focus Sash only works at full HP. Glimmora at 100%. So it survives. Actually, let me reconsider. Gholdengo vs Kingambit: Gholdengo resists Steel (Steel resists Steel 0.5x), and Dark is neutral (Ghost weak to Dark 2x, Steel resists Dark 0.5x = 1x). So Kingambit's attacks: Iron Head 0.5x, Sucker Punch/Kowtow 1x. Gholdengo is fairly safe. Make It Rain is the best damage option. Let's go with that. Actually wait — Make It Rain lowers Gholdengo's SpA by 2 stages after use. That's a downside but it's the strongest hit. Alternatively Nasty Plot to set up. But Kingambit could Swords Dance too, and Sucker Punch threatens. I think Make It Rain is the play — chip Kingambit, and Gholdengo resists its STABs. Actually, let me reconsider switching to Glimmora. Glimmora's Earth Power is 2x super effective and Glimmora is faster. But Kingambit's Sucker Punch would hit Glimmora first (priority). Sucker Punch vs Rock/Poison: neutral. Glimmora has Focus Sash so survives. Then Earth Power. But Kingambit might not use Sucker Punch if Glimmora switches in — actually Sucker Punch only works if target is attacking. On switch turn, Glimmora isn't attacking, so Sucker Punch fails. Then next turn Glimmora Earth Powers. Hmm, but Kingambit could just Iron Head on the switch, 2x vs Rock. Focus Sash saves. This is getting complex. Simplest strong play: Make It Rain with Gholdengo. It's safe and does damage. Actually, I'll go with Make It Rain.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash switched toDragoniteKingambit likely carries Sucker Punch, which would KO Glimmora after Focus Sash. Dragonite's Multiscale lets it survive a priority hit and then KO back with Earthquake, so it's the safer switch-in.

We need choose best action. We have Gholdengo fainted, must switch in one of remaining? Legal actions only switch glimmora or dragonite. Opponent Kingambit at 58%, likely Sucker Punch/Kowtow. Need pick best. Our team: Glimmora, Dragonite, Kingambit, Garganacl, Annihilape, Gholdengo fainted. Legal only Glimmora or Dragonite? Why not others? Maybe because only these two? Actually legal actions list only 2 switches. Must choose. Opponent Kingambit Dark/Steel. Glimmora Rock/Poison: weak to Steel? Rock weak to Steel, Poison neutral? Kingambit likely Kowtow Cleave Dark, Iron Head Steel. Glimmora fast 151, can set hazards or Earth Power. But Kingambit Sucker Punch could KO? Glimmora has Focus Sash, survives one hit. Could set Stealth Rock or Spikes. But opponent already has Stealth Rock on their side? Wait "Opponent side hazards / conditions: Stealth_Rock" means our side set SR on opponent? Actually from turn 4: Opposing Dragonite at 75/100 from Stealth Rock, so our side has SR on opponent. So hazards already set. Glimmora could Mortal Spin to remove? No, opponent hazards on our side none. Glimmora can attack with Earth Power (Ground special) super effective vs Kingambit? Kingambit Steel/Dark: Ground is super effective vs Steel? Ground hits Steel super effective, Dark neutral. Earth Power BP 90, Glimmora SPA 182. Kingambit SPD 85 base, HP 100. Likely does big damage. But Kingambit may Sucker Punch (Dark) which is super effective vs Glimmora? Dark vs Rock/Poison: Dark neutral vs Rock? Dark is neutral vs Rock, neutral vs Poison? Actually Dark is super effective vs Ghost/Psychic, not Rock/Poison. So Sucker Punch neutral. Kowtow Cleave Dark neutral. Iron Head Steel super effective vs Rock (2x) and neutral vs Poison? Steel vs Rock 2x, vs Poison 1x? Steel is neutral vs Poison? Actually Steel is super effective vs Rock, Ice, Fairy; not very effective vs Steel, Fire, Water, Electric. Poison resists? Poison doesn't resist Steel. So Iron Head 2x vs Glimmora. But Kingambit revealed only Kowtow Cleave. Could have Iron Head. Glimmora Focus Sash survives one hit, then can Earth Power. But if Kingambit Sucker Punch, Glimmora might be KO? Focus Sash survives at 1 HP if full. Then Earth Power KOs? Kingambit at 58% HP. Earth Power from Glimmora likely KOs? Let's estimate: Glimmora SPA 182, Kingambit SPD 85 base ~ maybe 100? Damage: Earth Power 90 BP, STAB? No. Against Kingambit Steel/Dark, Ground 2x vs Steel. Likely OHKO. But Kingambit may have Sucker Punch priority. If we switch Glimmora, opponent might use Sucker Punch? Sucker Punch only works if target attacks. If we switch, Sucker Punch fails? Actually Sucker Punch fails if target doesn't attack. So switching Glimmora in, opponent might use Kowtow Cleave or Iron Head. Glimmora survives with Focus Sash if full HP. Then next turn we can Earth Power. But if opponent uses Iron Head, Glimmora at 1 HP, then we attack and KO. But if opponent uses Sucker Punch on switch, it fails, then we can attack next turn? Wait turn order: we switch, opponent moves. If opponent uses Sucker Punch, it fails because we switched (not attacking). Then next turn we can Earth Power, but opponent may Sucker Punch again? If we attack, Sucker Punch goes first and KOs Glimmora (1 HP). So Glimmora would faint before attacking. So switching Glimmora is risky if opponent has Sucker Punch. But Kingambit likely has Sucker Punch? Our own Kingambit has Sucker Punch. Opponent Kingambit likely has Sucker Punch. So Glimmora would be KO'd by Sucker Punch if it tries to attack. But if we switch Glimmora and opponent uses Sucker Punch, it fails, then we could switch out? But we only have Dragonite. Hmm. Dragonite: Dragon/Flying, Multiscale, full HP. Kingambit Kowtow Cleave Dark neutral vs Dragon? Dark vs Dragon neutral, vs Flying neutral. Iron Head Steel neutral vs Dragon? Steel vs Dragon neutral? Actually Steel is neutral vs Dragon, vs Flying neutral? Steel is neutral vs Flying? Steel is not very effective vs Fire/Water/Electric/Steel, super effective vs Rock/Ice/Fairy. So neutral. Sucker Punch Dark neutral. Dragonite can take a hit with Multiscale halving damage. Then Dragonite can use Earthquake (Ground) super effective vs Kingambit? Ground vs Steel 2x, vs Dark neutral. Dragonite ATK 204, EQ BP 100. Likely KOs Kingambit at 58%. But Kingambit may Sucker Punch first. Sucker Punch priority +1, Dragonite speed 132 vs Kingambit 70? Kingambit base speed 50, our Dragonite 132. But Sucker Punch has priority, so it goes first if Dragonite attacks. However Dragonite has Multiscale, so Sucker Punch damage halved. Dragonite likely survives. Then Earthquake KOs. So Dragonite is safer. Also Dragonite can use Extreme Speed? But EQ better. So switch Dragonite. Check legal actions: only SWITCH:

Dragonite at full HP with Multiscale, opponent Kingambit at 58%. Earthquake is super effective against Kingambit (Steel). Dragonite is faster (132 vs 50). Earthquake should KO or nearly KO. But Kingambit has Sucker Punch which could hit first if Dragonite attacks... Sucker Punch only works if target uses attacking move. Earthquake is an attacking move, so Sucker Punch would go first. But Dragonite has Multiscale, halving damage. Kingambit at 58% - Sucker Punch with Multiscale won't KO Dragonite. Then Earthquake KOs Kingambit. Actually, Earthquake is the best play - super effective, Dragonite survives Sucker Punch thanks to Multiscale.

Kingambit at 4% HP, +2 ATK. Glimmora is faster (151 vs 50). Earth Power is super effective on Kingambit (Steel) and will KO. But Sucker Punch only works if I attack... Earth Power is a special move, Sucker Punch works on any damaging move. But Glimmora is faster, so Earth Power KOs first. Actually Sucker Punch has priority +1, so it goes first regardless of speed. But Kingambit at 4% HP - Sucker Punch would KO Glimmora? Glimmora has Focus Sash, so it survives one hit. Then Earth Power KOs. Actually, Sucker Punch only works if target uses attacking move. Earth Power is attacking, so Sucker Punch triggers. Focus Sash saves Glimmora, then Earth Power KOs Kingambit. Alternatively, Mortal Spin is also attacking. Earth Power is best for KO. Wait, but if I use a status move like Stealth Rock, Sucker Punch fails. But I want to KO Kingambit. Earth Power KOs. Actually with Focus Sash, Glimmora survives Sucker Punch at full HP. Then Earth Power KOs. Good. But wait - does Sucker Punch KO through Focus Sash? Focus Sash leaves 1 HP. Yes. So Earth Power is the play.
