   Mirror match. Bring Mimikyu (Disguise + SD, fast), Dragonite (Multiscale DD sweeper), Gholdengo (NP special wall). Lead Mimikyu to SD and pressure; watch for opposing faster Mimikyu speed ties (mine 162, likely max). Expect their Dragonite/Garchomp leads.

   Mirror match. Bring Dragonite (multiscale, DD), Gholdengo, Garchomp? Mimikyu fast sweeper with disguise is strong. Bring mimikyu, dragonite, gholdengo.

   Mirror match. Mimikyu lead vs Dragonite. Plan: SD now (Disguise blocks one hit, Multiscale halves damage anyway), then Play Rough to break Multiscale, Shadow Sneak priority. If they switch to Gholdengo, my Dragonite/Gholdengo handle it. Watch for their faster threats.

   SD turn 1; disguise blocks one hit.

   Mimikyu at +2 Atk, Disguise used, 116/132. Mega Dragonite at full HP (Multiscale halves damage). Plan: Play Rough now to break Multiscale and deal heavy damage; finish with Shadow Sneak priority if needed. Watch for their Dragon Dance—my +2 priority helps. If they switch to Gholdengo, switch to my Dragonite.

   Reasoning trace (51 words)

   Play Rough at +2 with Multiscale halves damage. +2 LO Play Rough vs Mega Dragonite: roughly 90*1.5*1.5*1.3 ≈ 263 BP before halving... Mega Dragonite stats unknown but likely bulky. Play Rough breaks Multiscale; Shadow Sneak next. But they might DD. Better: Play Rough now (breaks Multiscale, big damage), then Shadow Sneak.

4. Turn 3
   PokéChamp switched to Gholdengo
   GLM 5.3 used Shadowsneak2,520 tok · 3.9 s · $0.0012

   Mimikyu at +2, 50/132, Life Orb. Mega Dragonite at 26% with Multiscale broken. Shadow Sneak (priority, guaranteed hit) should KO it. After that, keep Mimikyu healthy-ish; my Dragonite (Multiscale, DD) and Gholdengo (NP, Recover) are fresh. Watch for their remaining two—likely Garchomp or Gholdengo. If Mimikyu dies, bring Dragonite.

   Reasoning trace (56 words)

   Play Rough at 26% — Multiscale broken, should KO. But accuracy 90%; Shadow Sneak also likely KOs? +2 Shadow Sneak: 40 BP ×1.5×1.3 LO... roughly 40*1.5*1.3=78 effective vs neutral. Dragonite at 26% of ~198 = ~51 HP. Shadow Sneak +2 LO: base calc ~ (142*2)*40/... likely ~60-70 damage. Probably KOs and is safe priority. Use shadowsneak.

   GLM 5.3 used Shadowclaw2,685 tok · 3.1 s · $0.0011

   Mimikyu +2 Atk, 37/132, Life Orb recoil will kill soon. Their Gholdengo at 28% (~54 HP), Leftovers. Shadow Claw at +2 with LO should KO comfortably; Shadow Sneak might not. Their Dragonite at 26% in back. If Mimikyu survives recoil-free, keep pressing; otherwise Dragonite (Multiscale, DD) cleans up.

   Reasoning trace (41 words)

   Shadow Sneak at +2 with LO: 40 BP SE... Gholdengo at 28%, ~54 HP. Shadow Sneak +2 LO: roughly 40*1.5(SE)*1.5*1.3 ≈ 117 BP effective vs Def ~115... likely ~35-45 damage. Shadow Claw safer: 70 BP → ~60-75 damage, KO. Use shadowclaw.

   Mimikyu +2 Atk, 24/132, Life Orb recoil will KO it after this attack regardless. Mega Dragonite at 26%—Play Rough (super effective) easily finishes it. Then their last Pokémon comes in; Mimikyu dies to recoil, so Dragonite (full, Multiscale) and Gholdengo (full) clean up 2v1.

   Reasoning trace (8 words)

   Play Rough at +2 should KO 26% Dragonite.

   Mimikyu at 11 HP, +2 Atk, Life Orb—recoil will KO it after any attack. Play Rough is super effective on Garchomp and should heavily damage or KO it. After Mimikyu faints, send in Dragonite (full HP, Multiscale) or Gholdengo to finish. Their last is Garchomp only; 2v1 in my favor.

   Reasoning trace (20 words)

   Play Rough at +2 with LO vs Garchomp — likely KO or heavy damage; recoil kills Mimikyu anyway. Play Rough.

   2v1 endgame: my full-HP Dragonite and Gholdengo vs their full Garchomp. Garchomp likely outspeeds both and EQ hits both super effectively, but Dragonite's Multiscale lets it tank one hit (~50%), then Outrage (2x on Dragon) KOs Garchomp. Send Dragonite in, tank, then Outrage.

   Reasoning trace (251 words)

   Garchomp outspeeds both? Gholdengo 104 Spe vs Garchomp 109-169 — likely faster. Dragonite 102, slower. Gholdengo resists nothing... Garchomp EQ vs Gholdengo neutral (Ground vs Steel/Ghost = 2x? Steel weak to Ground, Ghost neutral → 2x). Dragonite: EQ 2x vs Dragonite. Both weak. But Garchomp only has EQ revealed; likely also outrage etc. Send Gholdengo? Garchomp EQ hits both hard. Dragonite has Multiscale, EQ does ~half. Then Dragonite can DD or outrage. Actually send Dragonite: EQ ~50% after Multiscale, then Dragonite outrages/eq back. Garchomp likely faster though. Gholdengo can Make It Rain? Not vs Garchomp well (neutral, SpA 203 vs Def). Hmm, Garchomp HP ~200, Make It Rain 120BP neutral ~ 60%? Roughly. But Garchomp EQ 2x on Gholdengo likely OHKO or near.
   
   Dragonite: take EQ with Multiscale (~45-50%), then Outrage KO Garchomp? Garchomp faster, EQ again → Dragonite dead unless Multiscale... second EQ full power kills. Better: Dragonite DD? No, dies.
   
   Gholdengo: EQ 2x, ~ OHKO likely (Garchomp Atk 135-200, EQ 100BP 2x vs Def 115 → likely OHKO). So both die to EQ. But Garchomp may not spam EQ if I send Gholdengo... it's a bot.
   
   Alternative: send Dragonite, tank EQ (Multiscale), then Extreme Speed? No, priority but weak. Outrage KO Garchomp (Dragon weak to Dragon, 120BP from 204 Atk → OHKO). So Dragonite tanks one EQ at ~50%, then Outrage KOs. If Garchomp uses Outrage on Dragonite instead, 2x, but Multiscale halves → ~50-60%, then I Outrage back KO. Either way Dragonite wins 1v1 with Multiscale. Send Dragonite.

   Endgame 1v1: my full Dragonite vs their full Garchomp. Garchomp outspeeds and EQs first, but Multiscale halves it (~50% damage). My Outrage (STAB, super effective on Dragon) should KO Garchomp from full even unboosted. Mega Evolving also keeps Multiscale, so Mega + Outrage is safe and stronger. If it survives, finish with Extreme Speed.

   Reasoning trace (126 words)

   Garchomp outspeeds and EQ hits hard. Mega Dragonite: Multiscale halves first hit. Mega evolving keeps Multiscale? Mega Dragonite ability unknown—opponent's Mega Dragonite had multiscale. Mega first turn, tank EQ at half, then Outrage. But Garchomp could use Dragon moves? Unknown. Safer: Mega + Outrage now—Outrage 120 super effective, Garchomp ~200 HP, Mega Atk ~193... Outrage at 120 SE vs Garchomp (Dragon weak) likely KO? Garchomp Def ~103-161, HP ~200. Mega Dragonite Atk 193, 120 BP SE: roughly 2*(193*... rough calc: damage ≈ (((2*50/5+2)*120*193/130)/2+2)*2 ≈ (22*120*193/130)/2+2 ≈ (22*178)/... let's estimate: 42*120*193/130/50+2... standard: dmg = (22*120*193/Def)/50+2. With Def 130: 22*120*193=509,520; /130=3919; /50=78; +2=80; *1.5 SE=120; *1.5 STAB=180. KO. Even without Mega, Atk 204: 22*120*204/130/50+2≈85*2.25≈190. Also KO. So just Outrage now; Garchomp EQ first does ~half through Multiscale. Fine.

    Garchomp at 1% HP with Focus Sash used. Any attack KOs it. Use Shadow Ball (no contact, avoids Rough Skin). Then Gholdengo wins 1v0.
