Glimmora,gholdengo,dragoniteOpponent likely leads Torkoal sun with Venusaur/Chlorophyll, so I want Glimmora to set hazards immediately with Focus Sash, Gholdengo to block opposing hazards/spin and threaten with Make It Rain/Shadow Ball, and Dragonite as a priority wincon with Multiscale plus Earthquake for Torkoal/Gholdengo.
Reasoning trace (111 words)
We need choose 3. Opponent likely sun team: Torkoal/Venusaur, Garchomp, Rotom-Wash, Gholdengo, Kingambit. Need to bring a solid core. Glimmora as hazard lead with focus sash is common. Gholdengo blocks spin/defog. Dragonite or Kingambit as wincon. Opponent has Torkoal (Drought) - sun. Venusaur chlorophyll could be fast. Garchomp. Consider bringing Glimmora lead to set hazards, Gholdengo (Good as Gold blocks, ghost immunity vs fighting?), and Dragonite with Multiscale. Annihilape could be good vs Kingambit? Actually Kingambit dark weak to fighting. But Annihilape weak to Gholdengo's shadow ball? Neutral. Best: glimmora lead, gholdengo, dragonite. Dragonite earthquake hits Gholdengo/Torkoal. Extremespeed priority. Multiscale survives. Alternatively Kingambit for sucker punch. I'll go glimmora, gholdengo, dragonite.
MiMo V2.6 Flash broughtTorkoal,venusaur,gholdengoSun-lead Torkoal sets Drought for Venusaur's Chlorophyll and Eruption pressure; Gholdengo rounds it out as a special wallbreaker that handles Garganacl, Annihilape, and opposing Kingambit. Speed and immediate sun-boosted power are the deciding factors here.
Reasoning trace (65 words)
Bring Torkoal lead for sun + Eruption; Venusaur chlorophyll sweeper; Gholdengo for coverage vs Dragonite? Dragonite resists... Gholdengo handles Garganacl/Annihilape/Kingambit/Glimmora? Make It Rain vs Glimmora, Shadow Ball vs Annihilape/Garganacl. Good. Torkoal lead into likely Glimmora — Eruption strong but Torkoal slow; opponent might lead Glimmora with Spikes/Power Gem. Still sun team plan. Alternative: Gholdengo lead. But sun team wants Torkoal lead. BRING: torkoal, venusaur, gholdengo
- Turn 1DeepSeek V4.1 Flash used
StealthrockGlimmora is faster than Torkoal and its role is hazard lead. Earth Power won't KO bulky Torkoal, so setting Stealth Rock pressures the opponent's switches while Focus Sash keeps Glimmora safe.
Reasoning trace (73 words)
Torkoal is a hazard setter/lead, likely will set Stealth Rock or use Yawn/rapid spin. Glimmora is faster and can set hazards. Earth Power is super effective but Torkoal is bulky. Best play: set Stealth Rock to pressure their switches, since Glimmora's job is hazard lead. Actually Earth Power could chip Torkoal but won't KO. Setting hazards is standard lead play. Given Focus Sash, Glimmora can survive and set hazards. I'll set Stealth Rock.
MiMo V2.6 Flash switched toVenusaurGlimmora outspeeds Torkoal and threatens with a Special attack like Power Gem, while Eruption isn't very effective anyway. Venusaur benefits from the sun with Chlorophyll and can threaten back immediately—switching now wins the speed matchup.
Reasoning trace (95 words)
Glimmora likely sets up hazards or attacks. Torkoal at full HP eruption in sun hits hard but not very effective on Rock/Poison. Venusaur with chlorophyll in sun would outspeed. Switching to Venusaur seems good—Glimmora's moves likely power gem, sludge wave, hazards. Venusaur resists... Grass/Poison resists poison, rock neutral. Solarbeam in sun is instant. Deciding factor: bad matchup? Actually Torkoal eruption still does decent damage. But Glimmora outspeeds and could kill with power gem? Torkoal has176 def but spdef 92, power gem would hurt. Switching to Venusaur capitalizes on sun chlorophyll—speed factor. I'll switch to Venusaur.
- Turn 2MiMo V2.6 Flash used
GrowthmegaSun-boosted Chlorophyll doubles Venusaur's speed, and Growth raises Sp. Atk by two stages in sun, turning Mega Venusaur into a wallbreaker that can sweep Glimmora and the remaining two foes. Glimmora only threatens a neutral hit, so setting up now is safer than a non-KO Solar Beam.
Reasoning trace (447 words)
Glimmora is Rock/Poison — Solar Beam hits it super effectively (Rock weak to Grass). In sun, no charge. With Chlorophyll doubled speed, Venusaur likely outspeeds. Mega evolve + solarbeam for KO. Glimmora's SpDef is low-ish. Solar Beam 120 BP in sun, STAB, vs Rock/Poison (2x weak to grass since rock weak, poison resists? No — Poison does not resist Grass. Grass hits Rock 2x, Poison 0x? Poison resists Grass? No, Poison resists Grass? Let me recall: Poison resists Grass? Actually Grass resists... Poison is not resistant to Grass. Type chart: Grass vs Poison = 1x? No — Poison resists Grass? Hmm. Poison types resist Grass? Yes! Poison resists Grass (Poison resists Grass, Bug, Fighting, Poison, Fairy). Wait, actually Poison resists: Grass, Bug, Fighting, Poison, Fairy. Yes, Poison resists Grass. So Grass vs Rock/Poison = 2x (rock weak) * 0.5x (poison resist) = 1x neutral. Hmm. So Solar Beam is neutral. Sludge Bomb is 0.25x (poison vs rock/poison: poison resisted by rock? Rock resists... poison? Rock doesn't resist poison. Poison vs Poison = 0.5x. So sludgebomb = 0.5x? The legal action says 1/4x on glimmora. Hmm, they say 1/4x — maybe rock resists poison? Actually Rock resists... normal, fire, poison, flying. Yes! Rock resists Poison. So sludgebomb = 0.25x. Solar Beam neutral at 120 BP in sun with STAB. Growth +2 SpA might be better for sweeping. But Glimmora threatens with... it already set rocks. It might use Power Gem, Mortal Spin, etc. Mega evolve + solarbeam seems good damage. Or growth [MEGA] to +2 (2x in sun) then sweep. But Glimmora could KO or set more hazards. Sleep Powder 75% accuracy — risky but shuts it down. I'd go Mega + Solar Beam for damage; likely 2HKO or KO. Glimmora SpDef range 90-146, Venusaur SpA after mega ~ maybe 150ish. Solar beam 120 BP STAB neutral... probably 50-70%. Not a KO. Growth +2 in sun gives +2 SpA (double), then solarbeam next turn likely KO. But Glimmora gets a free hit. Glimmora's offense: Power Gem ~ maybe 40-50% on Venusaur. Venusaur can recover? No recover move. Alternatively Sleep Powder to shut it down safely. 75% accuracy. I think Mega Growth is the setup play — +2 SpA lets Venusaur sweep their whole team in sun with chlorophyll speed. Risk: Glimmora could have Mortal Spin or set Spikes. But growth doubles both attack and spatk in sun (2 stages). Hmm, deciding factor: likely knockout vs setup. I'll go with growth [MEGA] for the sweep. Actually, safer: solarbeam does solid neutral damage and might KO a low-rolled Glimmora. But not guaranteed. Given champions format, setting up +2 with doubled speed makes Venusaur a win condition. I'll choose growth [MEGA].
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash usedSpikesVenusaur in sun likely has Chlorophyll, making it faster than Glimmora. Glimmora's Focus Sash lets it survive one hit, so setting Spikes is safe and stacks hazards. Dragonite is a safer switch, but Spikes provides long-term value and Glimmora can still set another layer if Venusaur doesn't use Sleep Powder.
Reasoning trace (1,606 words)
We need answer with thought and decision. Need analyze. We are Glimmora vs Venusaur in sun. Opponent likely Chlorophyll Venusaur, speed doubled in sun, so actually Venusaur may outspeed Glimmora despite range 90-145 doubled = 180-290. It came in after Torkoal, sun active. Likely Venusaur has Chlorophyll and will attack. Glimmora has Focus Sash, can survive one hit. What best action? We already set Stealth Rock. Need maybe attack Venusaur with Earthpower? Venusaur Grass/Poison, Earthpower super effective? Ground vs Poison 2x, vs Grass neutral? Ground is super effective against Poison, not very effective against Grass? Actually Ground vs Grass is 0.5? Type chart: Ground attacking Grass = 0.5, Poison = 2, so net 1x. Earthpower neutral. Mortal Spin poison physical weak, poisons. Spikes maybe set layer. But Venusaur likely threatens with Earth Power? Venusaur in sun could use Growth, Sludge Bomb, Earth Power, Weather Ball, Giga Drain, Sleep Powder. Glimmora's Focus Sash ensures survive. We need choose best action. Since Venusaur likely Chlorophyll and faster, maybe we should switch to Gholdengo? Gholdengo immune to Poison? Steel/Ghost: immune to Poison, resists Grass, but weak to Fire? Venusaur may have Earth Power? Gholdengo can handle Venusaur? But sun boosted Weather Ball Fire? Venusaur may have Weather Ball in sun becomes Fire, hits Gholdengo super effective? Actually Fire vs Steel 2x, vs Ghost neutral, so 2x. Gholdengo maybe not safe. Dragonite with Multiscale can take hit, but Venusaur may have Sludge Bomb? Dragonite resists Grass, neutral Poison? Dragon/Flying: Poison neutral? Actually Poison vs Dragon neutral, vs Flying neutral. Fire? Weather Ball Fire neutral? Dragonite can set DD? But if Venusaur faster, maybe sleep powder. Hmm. We need single best action. Glimmora has Focus Sash, can set Spikes or attack. Since Stealth Rock already up, Spikes adds chip. But Venusaur likely can KO? Focus Sash survives. If we use Spikes, then get hit to 1 HP, next turn maybe die. But hazards valuable. Alternatively Earthpower to damage Venusaur. Venusaur is bulky, Earthpower neutral maybe 20-30%. Mortal Spin poisons and clears hazards? No hazards on our side. Poisoning Venusaur could be useful. But Venusaur may have Overgrow/Chlorophyll. If we poison, it doesn't stop sun. Spikes likely best for long-term. However opponent has Torkoal, Venusaur, and one of gholdengo/garchomp/rotomwash/kingambit. Spikes hits grounded foes: Torkoal grounded? Fire type, not Flying/Levitate, so yes. Venusaur grounded. Garchomp grounded. Kingambit grounded. Rotom-Wash Levitate? Rotom-Wash has Levitate, not grounded. Gholdengo grounded. So Spikes good. But we already have SR. Maybe use Earthpower to chip Venusaur? Since Venusaur likely special attacker, Glimmora's Focus Sash can survive one hit. But if Venusaur uses Sleep Powder, we might be put to sleep. Then hazards? Hmm. Let's think competitive: Glimmora lead set SR turn 1. Opponent switched Torkoal -> Venusaur. Sun. Venusaur likely Chlorophyll, fast. Glimmora's job is set hazards. We can set Spikes now. If Venusaur attacks, Focus Sash keeps us at 1 HP, then we can maybe set another layer next turn? But if it attacks again, we die. But we get two layers? Turn 2 Spikes, survive. Turn 3 maybe Spikes again, die. That's good. But if Venusaur uses Sleep Powder, we may be asleep and unable to set. But Sleep Powder accuracy 75. Could be risky. Alternatively switch to Gholdengo to block Sleep Powder? Good as Gold prevents status moves like Sleep Powder. Gholdengo is immune to Poison, resists Grass, but weak to Fire. Venusaur in sun may have Weather Ball Fire, which would hit Gholdengo hard. But if Venusaur doesn't have Weather Ball, Gholdengo walls it. However Venusaur likely has Sludge Bomb, Earth Power, Giga Drain, Sleep Powder. Gholdengo immune to Sludge Bomb, resists Giga Drain, but Earth Power is super effective? Ground vs Steel 2x, vs Ghost neutral, so 2x. Venusaur often carries Earth Power for Steel types. So Gholdengo not safe. Dragonite with Multiscale can take any one hit, and can set Dragon Dance? But Venusaur may be faster and put to sleep. Dragonite has Lum Berry, which cures sleep once. That's interesting: Dragonite with Lum Berry can absorb Sleep Powder, then Dragon Dance. But Venusaur might attack. Dragonite's Multiscale halves damage, so it can survive. Then next turn Dragon Dance? But Venusaur may be faster. Actually if we switch Dragonite, Venusaur likely uses Sleep Powder or attack. Lum Berry cures sleep. Then we can Dragon Dance. But we lose hazards momentum. However Dragonite can sweep. But opponent has Torkoal, sun, maybe Venusaur. Dragonite's Ice Spinner? Not relevant. Dragonite can Earthquake Venusaur? Ground vs Grass/Poison neutral. Extreme Speed. But Venusaur is bulky. What is the best action? The prompt asks choose single best action. We need decide. Given Glimmora has Focus Sash and already set SR, setting Spikes is standard. But if Venusaur is Chlorophyll, it outspeeds and may KO? Focus Sash prevents KO. So we can set Spikes safely. Then next turn we can set another layer or attack. But if Venusaur uses Sleep Powder, we might be asleep. However Focus Sash doesn't prevent sleep. Sleep Powder could disable us. But if we switch to Gholdengo, we block Sleep Powder. But then Venusaur might use Earth Power or Weather Ball. Hmm. Let's check speed: Glimmora 151. Venusaur possible speed 90-145. In sun, Chlorophyll doubles to 180-290. So Venusaur likely faster. If Venusaur has Chlorophyll, it will move first. It could use Sleep Powder. If we stay, we risk sleep. If we switch to Gholdengo, we block Sleep Powder due to Good as Gold. But Venusaur might predict switch and use Earth Power? Actually if we switch, Venusaur's move targets Gholdengo. If it uses Sleep Powder, it fails due to Good as Gold. If it uses Earth Power, it hits Gholdengo super effectively. But Venusaur might not have Earth Power? Common Venusaur sets in sun: Growth, Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, Weather Ball, Earth Power, Sleep Powder. In Champions, maybe different. We don't know. But Gholdengo is a good switch-in to Venusaur if it lacks Earth Power. However Torkoal is also there. Torkoal has Fire moves, which threaten Gholdengo. But Torkoal is on bench. Alternatively switch to Dragonite: Multiscale + Lum Berry. If Venusaur uses Sleep Powder, Lum cures. If it attacks, Multiscale reduces. Then we can Dragon Dance. But Venusaur might be faster and attack again. Dragonite can take a hit. But if Venusaur uses Sludge Bomb, it's neutral. Giga Drain resisted. Weather Ball Fire neutral? Fire vs Dragon 0.5? Actually Fire vs Dragon = 0.5, vs Flying = 1? Wait Fire vs Dragon is 0.5, vs Flying is 1? Type chart: Fire is not very effective against Dragon, Water, Rock, Fire. So Fire vs Dragon 0.5. Fire vs Flying 1. So neutral overall? Dragon/Flying: Fire 0.5 * 1 = 0.5? Actually dual type: Fire vs Dragon 0.5, vs Flying 1, so 0.5. So Dragonite resists Fire. Sludge Bomb: Poison vs Dragon 1, vs Flying 1, neutral. Giga Drain: Grass vs Dragon 0.5, vs Flying 0.5? Grass vs Flying 0.5, so 0.25. So Dragonite is very bulky against Venusaur. Multiscale halves. So Dragonite is a great switch-in. Then we can set up Dragon Dance. But Venusaur might use Sleep Powder, Lum Berry cures. So Dragonite seems excellent. However, if we switch, we lose Glimmora's hazards? No, hazards stay. We already have SR. We can set Spikes later. But Dragonite can sweep. The opponent has Torkoal, which might have Yawn or Rapid Spin? Torkoal can spin away hazards. But we have Gholdengo to block spin. So maybe switching to Dragonite is good. But the question: "Choose the single best action for this turn." We need pick one. In competitive, with Glimmora vs Venusaur in sun, if Venusaur is Chlorophyll, it's faster. Glimmora's Focus Sash means it can survive one hit. Setting Spikes is safe and valuable. But if Venusaur uses Sleep Powder, we lose momentum. However, if we switch to Dragonite, we avoid sleep and set up. But we don't know if Venusaur has Sleep Powder. The revealed moves: None yet. So we have no info. The opponent brought Torkoal, Venusaur, and one more. Torkoal sets sun. Venusaur likely Chlorophyll. Common Venusaur in sun has Growth, Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, Weather Ball, Earth Power, Sleep Powder. It could be a special attacker. Glimmora is frail. If we stay, we might get put to sleep or take a hit. But Focus Sash ensures we survive one hit. Then we can set Spikes. But if we get slept, we can't. So switching to Gholdengo blocks Sleep Powder. But Gholdengo is weak to Earth Power and Fire. Dragonite is weak to nothing Venusaur commonly has except maybe Sludge Bomb neutral. So Dragonite is safest. Let's consider the battle state: We have Glimmora at full HP, Focus Sash intact. Opponent has Venusaur at full HP, SR on their side. Sun. We already have SR. Our goal is to win. Glimmora's role is to set hazards. We can set Spikes now. If Venusaur attacks, we survive with 1 HP. Then next turn we can set another layer or attack. But if Venusaur uses Sleep Powder, we might be asleep for 1-3 turns. That's bad. But Sleep Powder accuracy 75. There's a 25% chance it misses. If it hits, we lose. But if we switch to Dragonite, we avoid that risk. Dragonite can then Dragon Dance. But Venusaur might switch out? If we switch, opponent might predict and switch to Torkoal or something. But we don't know. What is the "best" action according to expert? Often, when you have a Focus Sash lead that already set SR, you set Spikes next if you can survive. But here, Venusaur is likely faster and may KO? Focus Sash prevents KO. So Spikes is

SolarbeamMega Venusaur is at +2 SpA with sun-boosted Solar Beam available with no charge turn. Glimmora's Rock/Poison typing takes neutral damage from Grass, and at +2 this should knock out or severely dent Glimmora before it can set more hazards or chip us. Sludge Bomb is resisted, so Solar Beam is the clear best damage option here.
Reasoning trace (190 words)
Glimmora is Rock/Poison. Solar Beam is 1/4x on Glimmora? No, Solar Beam (Grass) vs Rock/Poison: Grass hits Rock 2x... wait no. Grass vs Rock is 2x (not very... actually Grass is 2x effective on Rock). Rock/Poison: Grass vs Rock = 2x, Grass vs Poison = 0.5x → 1x. Hmm but the prompt says sludgebomb 1/4x? That's odd. Sludge Bomb vs Rock/Poison: Poison vs Poison0.5x, Poison vs Rock 2x → 1x. The prompt says 1/4x, so maybe Glimmora typing interpretation. Regardless, prompt says 1/4x on sludgebomb. Solarbeam would be the choice in sun (no charge). Glimmora likely faster (Spe 95-151 vs 100). But Venusaur has Thick Fat and bulk; at +2 SpA, Solar Beam should KO Glimmora. Glimmora SpD 90-146.191 SpA +2 with Solar Beam 120 BP STAB in sun... Mega Venusaur Solar Beam should KO most Glimmora. If Glimmora attacks, it likely can't OHKO Mega Venusaur. Best: solarbeam. Could also Growth again for sweep, but Glimmora might set more hazards or use Power Gem/Mortal Spin. Solar Beam picks up KO now. Wait, prompt says solarbeam "Charges turn 1. Hits turn 2. No charge in sunlight." — fine. Decision: MOVE: solarbeam
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash usedEarthpowerVenusaur is at +2 SpA/Atk in sun and Mega Evolved, so it threatens a KO, but Glimmora's Focus Sash guarantees survival for one hit. Earth Power is super effective on Venusaur's Poison typing, letting Glimmora trade damage before going down.
Reasoning trace (433 words)
Venusaur at +2 SpA and +2 Atk in sun, Mega evolved. Glimmora is faster but can't KO. Focus Sash lets it survive one hit. Best to switch to something that resists. Gholdengo is immune to... Venusaur likely has Sludge Bomb (Poison) and Giga Drain/Earth Power. Gholdengo Steel/Ghost resists Grass and Poison, immune to... Actually Gholdengo is weak to Ground and Fire. Venusaur in sun with +2 SpA could have Weather Ball (Fire) which would hit Gholdengo hard. Dragonite with Multiscale could tank a hit. But Venusaur has +2. Actually Glimmora's Focus Sash means it survives one hit. But it can't do much damage. Earth Power is super effective against Venusaur (Poison type). Wait, Venusaur is Grass/Poison, Ground is super effective vs Poison. Earth Power would do decent damage. But Venusaur has Thick Fat (halves Fire/Ice). Ground isn't affected. Glimmora SpA 182, Earth Power 90 BP, super effective 2x vs Venusaur. Venusaur SpD ~126-189. Could do significant damage. But Venusaur at +2 will likely KO Glimmora anyway (Focus Sash saves once). Actually with Focus Sash, Glimmora survives one hit and can fire back Earth Power. That's good value. But Venusaur might have priority? No. Alternatively switch to Dragonite - Multiscale halves damage, resists Grass, but Venusaur could have Sludge Bomb (neutral vs Dragon/Flying? Poison vs Dragon/Flying is neutral). Actually Poison vs Dragon is neutral, vs Flying neutral. So Sludge Bomb neutral. Hmm, but Venusaur at +2 SpA in sun with Weather Ball Fire would destroy Dragonite (Fire vs Dragon neutral, vs Flying neutral... actually Fire vs Dragon is 0.5x, vs Flying 1x = 0.5x). Wait Dragon/Flying: Fire is 0.5x (Dragon resists Fire) * 1x (Flying) = 0.5x. So Dragonite resists Fire. And Multiscale halves. Dragonite could tank. But best play: Glimmora with Focus Sash can survive and hit back with Earth Power. Actually the question is whether to stay and attack or switch. Given Venusaur is +2 and Mega, it's a huge threat. Glimmora's Focus Sash guarantees survival one hit. Earth Power is super effective. Let me go with Earth Power to deal damage while sash saves us. Actually, wait - if Venusaur uses Growth again or attacks, Glimmora survives with sash and does big damage. That seems best. But also consider: switching to Gholdengo - immune to Poison? No, Steel is immune to Poison. Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost, immune to Poison-type moves. Venusaur's main STAB Sludge Bomb would be blocked. But Venusaur could have Earth Power (Ground) which hits Gholdengo 2x. In sun, Weather Ball Fire hits Gholdengo 2x too. Hmm. Risky. I'll go with Earth Power from Glimmora, using Focus Sash to survive.

DragoniteGlimmora is at 1 HP and will faint to any hit, so it must switch out. Venusaur has +2 SpA in sun, but Dragonite's Multiscale plus 4x Grass resistance lets it absorb Solar Beam comfortably and set up with Dragon Dance.
Reasoning trace (64 words)
Glimmora at 1 HP, Venusaur at +2 SpA with Solar Beam in sun. Glimmora will die to anything. Best to switch to a check. Gholdengo resists Grass? No, Ghost/Steel - Grass neutral, but Solar Beam is Grass. Actually Gholdengo takes neutral from Grass. Dragonite resists Grass 4x? Dragon/Flying - Grass is 1/4x resisted. Dragonite with Multiscale can tank Solar Beam well. Switch to Dragonite.
MiMo V2.6 Flash usedSolarbeamGlimmora is at 1% HP, and Solar Beam fires instantly in the sun with perfect accuracy — a guaranteed knockout. Even if Glimmora moves first with another Earth Power, Venusaur at 74% should survive it, so speed isn't a real concern here.

Glimmora at 1%. Solarbeam has no charge in sun, 100% accuracy, guaranteed KO. Speed uncertain but even if Glimmora moves first, Venusaur at 74% HP survives another Earth Power likely. Just use solarbeam.

SludgebombDragonite at 83% means any Multiscale protection is gone, and my +2 STAB Sludge Bomb should knock it out or leave it nearly dead. Solar Beam is only 1/4x here, so Sludge Bomb is the clear play given my speed may be comparable and I want the immediate knockout pressure.
Reasoning trace (144 words)
Dragonite at 83%, Venusaur at +2 SpA. Sludgebomb is resisted? Dragon/Flying: Poison is neutral vs Dragon (1x? Poison vs Dragon is 1x... actually Poison not very effective vs... Poison is resisted by... Poison is neutral against Dragon and Flying). Wait, Poison vs Flying: 1x? Poison moves: not very effective vs Ground, Rock, Poison, Ghost, Steel. Neutral vs Flying. So Sludgebomb is neutral vs Dragonite. Solarbeam is 1/4x (Grass vs Flying 1/2, vs Dragon 1/2). Sludgebomb at +2 vs83% Dragonite: likely knock out or near. Base90, +2, STAB (Venusaur Poison STAB) → strong. Multi-scale if at full HP — but Dragonite is at 83%, so multiscale doesn't apply. Sludgebomb should KO or nearly. But Dragonite may outspeed and hit with Dragon Dance, or use Fire Punch etc. With +2 SpA Venusaur, sludgebomb is the play. Also Opponent revealed remaining possible: their unknown. Just use sludgebomb.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash usedDragondanceVenusaur is +2 but its Grass moves are 0.25x on Dragonite, and Ground moves are blocked by Flying. Dragon Dance is safe and lets Dragonite outspeed and threaten with boosted Earthquake next turn.

Likely Solar Beam. Dragonite Dragon/Flying takes neutral? Grass vs Dragon/Flying neutral? Grass not very effective vs Flying? Actually Grass vs Flying: 0.5? Type chart: Grass attacking Flying = 0.5, Dragon = 0.5? Wait Grass vs Dragon: 0.5, vs Flying: 0.5, so 0.25? Let's check: Grass is not very effective against Flying and Dragon, so 0.25 vs Dragon/Flying. Turn 4 Solar Beam did not very effective, Dragonite 140/168 from full? It came in at full 168, took 28. So Venusaur Solar Beam weak. We can Ice Spinner super effective vs Grass/Poison? Ice vs Grass 2x, vs Poison neutral? Ice vs Poison neutral, so 2x. Thick Fat halves Ice offensive stat, so effectively neutral-ish? Thick Fat halves damage from Ice moves, so Ice Spinner 80 BP with halved attack stat. Still maybe good. But Venusaur has +2 SpA, could use Sludge Bomb? Not revealed. We need choose best action. Dragonite has ExtremeSpeed priority, but Venusaur likely faster? Speed range 90-145, Dragonite 132. If Venusaur invested speed maybe faster. Ice Spinner super effective but Thick Fat halves. Earthquake neutral? Ground vs Grass/Poison: Ground vs Grass 0.5, vs Poison 2x? Ground vs Poison 2x, so neutral 1x? Actually Ground vs Grass 0.5, vs Poison 2x = 1x. Dragon Dance could set up but Venusaur +2 SpA may KO? Solar Beam is 0.25, not KO. But Venusaur may have Sludge Bomb (Poison) super effective vs Dragonite? Poison vs Dragon neutral? Poison vs Flying neutral? Poison vs Dragon neutral, vs Flying neutral? Actually Poison vs Dragon 1x, vs Flying 1x. So neutral. Could have Giga Drain? Solar Beam. We need decide. We have Gholdengo in bench full HP, immune to Poison? Steel/Ghost, Good as Gold. Could switch to Gholdengo to wall Venusaur? Venusaur has Ground? It may have Earth Power? Venusaur moves: Growth, Solar Beam, maybe Sludge Bomb, Earth Power? Mega Venusaur often has Sludge Bomb, Giga Drain, Earth Power, Growth. Gholdengo resists Grass 0.5? Steel resists Grass, Ghost neutral. Poison vs Steel 0? Poison cannot hit Steel. Ground vs Steel 2x? Earth Power would be super effective vs Gholdengo. But Venusaur +2 SpA Earth Power could KO Gholdengo? Gholdengo HP 164, SpD 111. +2 SpA Venusaur Earth Power likely heavy. But Gholdengo can Nasty Plot or Make It Rain? Make It Rain Steel vs Venusaur? Steel vs Grass 1x, vs Poison 1x? Steel vs Poison 1x? Actually Steel vs Poison 1x? Steel is super effective vs Ice/Rock/Fairy, not Poison. So neutral. Shadow Ball neutral? Ghost vs Grass/Poison neutral. Gholdengo may not KO. Dragonite Ice Spinner: With Thick Fat, Ice vs Grass 2x but Thick Fat halves attack stat, so damage maybe 80*2/2 = 80 effective? Actually Thick Fat halves offensive stat, so damage roughly half of 2x = 1x. So not great. Earthquake neutral. ExtremeSpeed priority 80 neutral. Dragon Dance could boost, but Venusaur may attack. If we Dragon Dance, we get +1 Atk +1 Spe. Then next turn we may outspeed and KO with Ice Spinner? But Venusaur at 74%, +2 SpA. If Venusaur uses Solar Beam, it does little. If it uses Sludge Bomb, maybe neutral. Could be safe to Dragon Dance. But if Venusaur has Sleep Powder? Not revealed. Growth already used. It might attack. We need best action. We need consider opponent's bench: Torkoal, and one of gholdengo, garchomp, rotomwash, kingambit. Sun team. Venusaur is mega. Our Dragonite has Multiscale but not active. Lumberry cures status. If Venusaur uses Sleep Powder, Lumberry cures. So Dragon Dance is safe? But if Venusaur attacks with Sludge Bomb, might do decent damage. Dragonite 140/168. +2 SpA Venusaur Sludge Bomb vs Dragonite: Poison vs Dragon/Flying neutral? Actually Poison vs Dragon 1x, vs Flying 1x, so 1x. Base 90, +2 SpA, likely 40-50%. Could survive. Then next turn we can Ice Spinner? But if we Dragon Dance, we get +1 Spe, likely outspeed. Then Ice Spinner with +1 Atk and Thick Fat? Still maybe not KO. But we could ExtremeSpeed? Hmm. Alternatively, switch to Gholdengo. Gholdengo is immune to Poison, resists Grass, but weak to Ground. Venusaur likely has Earth Power? If it does, Gholdengo dies. But if not, Gholdengo walls. However, we don't know. The opponent's Venusaur has revealed Growth and Solar Beam. In sun, Solar Beam no charge. It might have Sludge Bomb and Earth Power. Gholdengo's Good as Gold blocks status moves like Sleep Powder, Growth? Growth targets self, so not blocked. But Gholdengo can Nasty Plot. However, Venusaur +2 SpA Earth Power likely 2HKO Gholdengo. Gholdengo can Recover. But we need to make progress. Our Glimmora at 1 HP can set hazards? Already set Spikes and Stealth Rock? Opp side has Stealth_Rock, Spikes. Glimmora at 1 HP, if switched in, dies to hazards? Our side no hazards. But Glimmora can maybe Mortal Spin? Not useful. We need choose single best action. Since Venusaur is +2 and likely to attack, and we have Dragonite with Ice Spinner super effective but Thick Fat halves. Actually Thick Fat halves damage from Ice moves, but Ice Spinner is still 2x super effective, so net 1x? Wait Thick Fat: "Fire- and Ice-type moves against this Pokemon deal damage with a halved offensive stat." So if Ice move is 2x, damage = 2 * 0.5 = 1x. So Ice Spinner is effectively neutral. Earthquake is neutral. ExtremeSpeed is neutral. Dragon Dance boosts. So Dragon Dance seems best to set up. But if Venusaur is faster and uses Sludge Bomb, we take damage. But we can then KO next turn? Let's calculate: Dragonite Atk 204. +1 Atk = 306. Ice Spinner 80 BP vs Venusaur Def 128-192, HP 155-187 at 74% ~ 115-138 HP. Thick Fat halves Atk to 153. Damage roughly (2*50/5+2)*80*153/Def /50 +2. Let's approximate: level 50, base power 80, Atk 153, Def 150. Damage = (((2*50/5+2)*80*153/150)/50)+2 = ((22*80*153/150)/50)+2 = (22*80*1.02)/50+2 = (1795)/50+2 = 35.9+2=37.9. So ~38 damage. Venusaur at 74% of ~170 = 126 HP. So Ice Spinner does ~38, not KO. Earthquake: Atk 306, BP 100, Def 150, neutral. Damage = ((22*100*306/150)/50)+2 = (22*100*2.04)/50+2 = (4488)/50+2=89.8+2=91.8. So Earthquake does ~92. That's much better! Wait Ground vs Grass/Poison: Ground vs Grass 0.5, vs Poison 2x = 1x. So Earthquake is neutral. With +1 Atk, Earthquake does ~92, which is close to KO (126 HP). If we Dragon Dance, next turn Earthquake might KO. But if Venusaur attacks this turn, we take damage. If we Earthquake now, we do ~46 (without boost). Venusaur at 126, so not KO. Then Venusaur attacks. If we Dragon Dance, we take an attack, then next turn we can Earthquake for ~92, leaving ~34 HP, not KO. Actually if we Dragon Dance, we get +1 Atk, Earthquake does ~92. Venusaur at 126, so survives with ~34. Then we might need another turn. But Venusaur might heal? No. ExtremeSpeed priority 80 neutral: damage with +1 Atk = ((22*80*306/150)/50)+2 = (22*80*2.04)/50+2 = (3590)/50+2=71.8+2=73.8. So ExtremeSpeed does ~74. Ice Spinner does ~38. So Earthquake is best damage. But wait, Venusaur has Thick Fat, so Ice Spinner is halved. Earthquake is not affected by Thick Fat. So Earthquake is better. But Venusaur is Grass/Poison, Ground is neutral. So Earthquake is the best move. However, Venusaur might be faster and use Solar Beam? Solar Beam is 0.25x, so does little. Sludge Bomb neutral. Earth Power? Venusaur doesn't learn Earth Power? Actually Venusaur can learn Earth Power via TM in some gens? In Gen 9, Venusaur can learn Earth Power? Let's check: Venusaur's moves in SV: it can learn Earth Power? I think Venusaur can learn Earth Power via TM? Actually TM Earth Power is available. Venusaur can learn it? Bulbapedia: Venusaur can learn Earth Power by TM in Gen 9? I think yes, Venusaur can learn Earth Power. So it might have Earth Power. But against Dragonite, Earth Power is neutral? Ground vs Dragon/Flying: Ground vs Flying is 0 (immune). So Dragonite is immune to Ground! Dragonite is Flying type, so immune to Earth Power. So Venusaur's Ground moves don't affect Dragonite. So Dragonite is safe from Earth Power. Sludge Bomb is neutral. Solar Beam is 0.25. So Dragonite is a good switch-in. So we can Dragon Dance safely? Venusaur's best move against Dragonite is Sludge Bomb (neutral) or maybe Giga Drain (0.25). So Dragonite takes little damage. So Dragon Dance is very safe. Then next turn we can Earthquake. But if we Dragon Dance, we get +1 Spe, so we outspeed. Then we can Earthquake. But Venusaur at 74% might survive +1 Earthquake? Let's recalc accurately. Venusaur HP at level 50: possible range 155-187. At 74%, HP = 0.74 * ~170 = 126. Dragonite Atk 204. +1 =

MakeitrainGholdengo outspeeds Venusaur and Venusaur is already at 74% with +2 boosts, so it threatens big damage back. Make It Rain is my strongest hit and should deal heavy damage before Venusaur can act; boosting with Nasty Plot risks getting KO'd first.

Venusaur has +2 SpA and +2 Atk, likely will attack. Gholdengo is faster. Make It Rain is strong special Steel move. Venusaur at 74% HP. Gholdengo resists Grass and Poison? Steel resists Grass, Ghost neutral to Poison. Actually Gholdengo Steel/Ghost: Grass resisted, Poison neutral. Sludge Bomb neutral. Solar Beam resisted. Make It Rain should do big damage. Venusaur is Grass/Poison, Steel is super effective? No, Steel vs Grass is neutral... wait Steel is super effective against... no. Steel vs Grass: neutral. Steel vs Poison: neutral. Hmm. Actually Steel is not very effective against... Steel vs Grass = neutral, Steel vs Poison = neutral. So Make It Rain neutral. Shadow Ball Ghost vs Grass/Poison: neutral. Venusaur at 74% with +2 SpA. Gholdengo 164 HP. Sludge Bomb from +2 SpA Venusaur could hurt. But we're faster. Make It Rain 120 BP with Wise Glasses should do significant damage. Let's calc roughly: Venusaur SpD ~126-189. Gholdengo SpA 185. Make It Rain 120 * 1.1 = 132. Likely 2HKO or big chunk. Actually could we KO? Venusaur 74% of ~170 = ~126 HP. Make It Rain neutral ~ maybe 60-70 damage. Not KO. Shadow Ball 80 BP neutral, weaker. Best is Make It Rain for max damage. But it lowers SpA by 2. Still fine. Alternatively Nasty Plot to boost, but Venusaur has +2 and could KO us. Better to attack. Make It Rain.
MiMo V2.6 Flash switched toGholdengoVenusaur is completely walled here: Sludge Bomb is immune (Good as Gold + Steel typing), Sleep Powder is blocked by Good as Gold, and Solar Beam is resisted. Switching to my Gholdengo gives a solid neutral matchup and lets me threaten back with Make It Rain or Shadow Ball.
Reasoning trace (684 words)
Sludge Bomb has no effect on Gholdengo (Steel resists... actually Poison vs Steel is immune? Steel is immune to Poison, yes). Venusaur is at +2 SpA. Sleep Powder is 75% accuracy, Good as Gold blocks status moves — wait, Good as Gold makes Gholdengo immune to status moves! So Sleep Powder won't work. Growth is a status move but targets self, so it works. Options: Growth (boost further, but Gholdengo can hit us), Solar Beam (charged, not very effective, needs two turns), switch to Gholdengo (mirror) or Torkoal. Gholdengo likely has Make It Rain / Shadow Ball — super effective vs Venusaur? Shadow Ball (Ghost) vs Grass/Poison: neutral. Make It Rain Steel vs Grass/Poison: not very effective... Steel vs Poison is not very effective? Steel vs Poison: Poison resists... actually Steel is super effective vs Ice/Rock/Fairy; Poison resists Steel? Type chart: Poison resists... Poison is not very effective against Steel (attacking), and Steel moves against Poison — Poison resists Fighting, Poison, Bug, Grass, Fairy; Steel attacks: Steel is super effective vs Rock/Ice/Fairy, not very effective vs Steel/Fire/Water/Electric. Steel vs Poison is neutral. So Make It Rain neutral, Shadow Ball neutral. With +2 SpA Venusaur and 74% HP, could Sludge Bomb... no, immune. Solar Beam is charged - two turns and not very effective. Best: switch to Gholdengo (immune to nothing... Steel/Ghost takes neutral from both Steel and Ghost? Ghost vs Steel/Ghost: Steel doesn't resist Ghost. Neutral). Our Gholdengo has Recover and Life Orb, faster potentially. Alternatively switch to Torkoal to set sun? Torkoal has Drought - switching in gives sun, then Solar Beam fires next turn without charge. Torkoal is specially weak though (SPD 92) and opponent Gholdengo could hit hard. Torkoal at 177 HP could take a hit and set sun, then Venusaur comes back with Solar Beam in sun. But Venusaur with +2 SpA Solar Beam in sun would hit Gholdengo for not very effective (Grass vs Steel = resisted). Hmm, resisted at +2 with 120 BP... Venusaur SpA 191 * 2 = ~382. Gholdengo SpD ~128 avg. Damage ≈ 120 * 382/128 * 0.25 (STAB? Venusaur Grass yes STAB 1.5) ... let's compute: (2*50/50+2)*191*120/... simpler: base damage ~ (2*50+2)/50... damage = ((2*50/50+2)*191*120/128)/50+2 ≈ (4*191*120/128)/50+2 = (4*179.06)/50+2 = 14.3+2 ≈ 16.3, times STAB 1.5 = 24.5, times 0.25 (resist) = 6.1. So ~6%. Not great. So Solar Beam is a poor option regardless. Sludge Bomb immune. Sleep blocked by Good as Gold. So really it's Growth or switch. Growth at +2→+3 doesn't help much since our best attacking moves are ineffective/immune. Best play: switch to our Gholdengo for the mirror, or Torkoal. Our Gholdengo at 100% with Life Orb, has Nasty Plot, Make It Rain, Shadow Ball, Recover. Opponent Gholdengo unknown moves but likely similar. Mirror match - speed uncertain. Actually, Venusaur has thick fat and decent bulk; could it take hits? Opponent Gholdengo SpA up to 203. Shadow Ball vs Venusaur: neutral, super effective? Ghost vs Grass/Poison — neutral. Make It Rain neutral. Venusaur SPD 142, HP 187. A Shadow Ball from 203 SpA: damage ≈ ((4*203*80/142)/50+2)*1.5 STAB ≈ (4*114.4)/50+2 = 9.15+2=11.15*1.5 = 16.7%. So Venusaur can tank hits. At +2 SpA we're threatening... but our moves are bad. Hmm, what about switching to Torkoal to set sun and absorb, then back to Venusaur? That's two turns of setup and Torkoal is frail specially (SPD 92). Alternatively switch to our Gholdengo to take the hit and start a mirror — our Gholdengo can Nasty Plot (Good as Gold blocks opposing status). Actually in a mirror, neither can status the other. The cleanest: switch to gholdengo. It's immune to... nothing relevant, but it's a solid neutral answer and can recover. Actually wait — Venusaur could just Growth to +3/+3 and then Sludge Bomb is still immune. Solar beam resisted. Sleep blocked. Venusaur is walled by Gholdengo entirely. So switch is right. Which switch? Torkoal sets sun but is specially frail and slow; Gholdengo is a better matchup and faster maybe. Switch to gholdengo. But could opponent predict switch and use Nasty Plot? Possible. Still, Gholdengo switching in is fine. Decision: SWITCH: gholdengo.

Opponent Gholdengo is at -2 SpA. Their Make It Rain does little. I'm at 87/194. Nasty Plot is risky if they're faster and hit me, but at -2 their hit does maybe ~30. Let me consider: Nasty Plot then Shadow Ball KO next turn. Or just Shadow Ball now - at -2, super effective. Their SpD range 99-157, my SpA 203, Shadow Ball 80 BP... at -2 they're weak but I'm not boosted. Life Orb 1.3x. Rough calc: 203 SpA, Shadow Ball 80 BP, super effective (2x) vs SpD ~128 avg. Neutral damage ~ (80*203/128)/2 ≈ 63. Super eff = 127, Life Orb = 165. That should KO from 100%. Wait: damage = ((2*50/5+2)*80*203/128)/50+2 ≈ (22*80*1.586)/50+2 = (2792)/50+2 = 57.8. Super effective: ~117. Life orb1.3x = 153. That KOs 162-194 HP. Even against max SpD 157: (22*80*203/157)/50+2 = (22*80*1.293)/50+2 = 2275/50+2 = 47.5. Super eff = 95. Life orb = 123. Might not KO min HP 162. Hmm. But Nasty Plot guarantees... if they're slower, NP then Shadow Ball at +2 definitely KOs. If they're faster and hit me with -2 Make It Rain: (22*120*140/111)/50+2 = (22*120*1.26)/50+2 = 3326/50+2 = 68.5. Not very effective (0.5x) = 34. Life orb 44. I survive at 43 HP. Even Shadow Ball at -2: (22*80*140/111)/50+2 = 2217/50+2 = 46. Super eff = 92. I survive at 0? 87-92 = faint. Risky. But Shadow Ball likely KOs anyway. Let me just Shadow Ball to be safe from being slower. Actually, if I'm slower, Shadow Ball may or may not KO. If it doesn't, I die to their Shadow Ball. If I'm faster, Shadow Ball KOs and I win. Nasty Plot: if faster, I NP, they -2 attack me (I survive at 43), then I NP again? No, I already acted. Next turn +2 Shadow Ball KOs. If slower: they hit Shadow Ball 92 dmg, I die at 87. Bad. So Nasty Plot only safe if I'm faster. Shadow Ball safe if I'm faster (KO) and risky if slower (maybe live vs Make It Rain, die to Shadow Ball). Hmm, both risky if slower. Shadow Ball gives best chance. Let me go Shadow Ball.

Torkoal can threaten Eruption at full HP. Switch Torkoal in. Venusaur would take Shadow Ball super effective (Poison/Grass? Ghost vs Poison neutral actually... Ghost is neutral vs Poison/Grass). Venusaur at 74%, Shadow Ball -2 SpA does little too. But Torkoal at full HP Eruption is huge threat. Gholdengo can't touch Torkoal much.

Reasoning trace (275 words)
Torkoal is Fire type, likely defensive. Gholdengo at -2 SpA. Shadow Ball is neutral on Torkoal (Fire). Make It Rain is not very effective. Torkoal likely has no way to hit Gholdengo hard... actually Torkoal could have Body Press or Earthquake. Gholdengo is Steel/Ghost, weak to Fire, Ground, Ghost, Dark. Torkoal in sun could use Eruption or Fire moves. Gholdengo resists Fire? No, Steel resists Fire... actually Steel is weak to Fire, Ghost neutral. So Fire hits Gholdengo super effectively? Steel is weak to Fire, Ghost neutral, so Fire is 2x on Gholdengo. Torkoal likely has Eruption or Flamethrower. That could hurt. But Gholdengo is faster. Shadow Ball at -2 SpA won't KO Torkoal (62% HP, defensive). Best play: Nasty Plot to reset SpA? But Torkoal might attack. Actually with -2 SpA, Shadow Ball is weak. Nasty Plot brings to 0. But Torkoal could hit hard with Fire in sun. Alternatively Recover to stay healthy. Hmm. Torkoal is slow, defensive. Gholdengo can Nasty Plot up. But Torkoal's Fire move in sun could 2HKO. Let me think: Torkoal SpA ~94-150, Eruption 150 BP in sun. That's strong. Actually Gholdengo should probably Nasty Plot since Torkoal is passive-ish, or attack. But -2 SpA Shadow Ball is weak. Given Torkoal is slow and defensive, Nasty Plot is good to set up. But risk of Fire attack. Gholdengo 164 HP, Fire in sun from Torkoal could do significant damage. Actually, better to just Nasty Plot - Torkoal likely can't KO from full. Then next turn Shadow Ball. Hmm, but Torkoal might have Body Press (defense-based) which hits Gholdengo neutrally. Or Earthquake. I'll go Nasty Plot to restore offensive presence.
MiMo V2.6 Flash usedEruptionTorkoal at 62.7% still has enough HP for a strong Eruption, and Gholdengo at -2 SpA can't threaten much damage with Shadow Ball (roughly 33-49 damage). I can chip Gholdengo down over a couple turns while it struggles to break through Torkoal's bulk in sun.
Reasoning trace (400 words)
Torkoal at 111/177 HP (62.7%), Eruption power scales with HP. At 62.7% HP, Eruption base power ≈ 150 * 0.627 ≈ 94. Super effective against Gholdengo (Steel weak to Fire, 2x).Gholdengo has -2 SpA, so its attacks are weak. It would need Shadow Ball to hurt Torkoal. Torkoal's SpD is 92, low. Shadow Ball from Gholdengo at -2... Gholdengo base SpA 133, at level 50 range 137-203, at -2 it's divided by... -2 means 2/5 of original. So 137-203 * 0.4 = 55-81 effective. With STAB 60 BP... Shadow Ball 80 BP STAB = 120. Against Torkoal SpD 92... Let me estimate: Gholdengo at min137 SpA, -2 → 137 * 0.4 = 54.8 effective. Shadow Ball 120 BP. Against Torkoal with92 SpD, no items mentioned. Damage = ((2*50/5+2)*120*54.8/92)/50 + 2 ≈ ((22)*120*0.596)/50 + 2 ≈ (1572)/50 + 2 ≈ 31 + 2 = 33. That's only ~33 damage out of 177 HP. Even at max 203 SpA, -2 → 81.2 effective. Damage ≈ ((22)*120*81.2/92)/50+2 = (1572*... wait let me redo. Actually damage = ((2*Level/5+2)*BP*A/D)/50+2. With A=81.2, D=92: (22*120*81.2/92)/50+2 = (22*120*0.883)/50+2 = (2332)/50+2 = 46.6+2 = 48.6. So even max damage ~49, Torkoal survives easily at 111. Torkoal's Eruption at 62.7% →94 BP base. Super effective → 94*2 = 188 effective BP. Against Gholdengo with maybe 100-157 SpD. Torkoal SpA 137. Damage = ((22)*94*137/100)/50+2 = (22*94*1.37)/50+2 = (2834)/50+2 = 56.7+2 = 58.7. At higher SpD 157: (22*94*137/157)/50+2 = (2834/157... wait 137/157 = 0.873) = (22*94*0.873)/50+2 = (1805)/50+2 = 36+2 = 38. So Eruption does 38-59 damage. Gholdengo has 162-194 HP. That's not a KO. But wait, Gholdengo is at -2 SpA. It can't really hurt Torkoal much. So maybe the plan is to just fire Eruption repeatedly? Actually, considering that Gholdengo at -2 can't do much, but Torkoal is only at 62.7% so Eruption won't KO. The opponent might switch to Glimmora (at 1% HP) or stay in. If Glimmora comes in, Eruption would KO it easily. If Gholdengo stays, Eruption won't KO but Torkoal survives Shadow Ball. Hmm, should I Stealth Rock first? Glimmora is at 1% so it'd die to rocks anyway on switch-in. But Gholdengo is already in. Actually the best play: Eruption to damage Gholdengo while it can't hurt me much at -2. Then chip it down over turns. Wait, but Gholdengo might use Make It Rain at -2 (even weaker) or Shadow Ball. Let's just Eruption.

Speed uncertain — either could move first. Glimmora at 1% might set... it revealed only hazards and earthpower.
