   Kimi K3 brought Garchomp,gholdengo,kingambit2,075 tok · 2.4 s · $0.0092

   Mirror match vs scripted bot. Plan: lead Garchomp for Stealth Rock + sash trades, Gholdengo mid (Make It Rain pressure), Kingambit late cleaner whose Supreme Overlord scales with faints. Save Dragonite/Skeledirge/Rotom.

   Mirror match. Bring Garchomp lead (rocks/sash), Kingambit (supreme overlord benefits from faints), Gholdengo.

2. Turn 1
   PokéChamp used Kowtowcleave
   Kimi K3 used Earthquake2,261 tok · 5.1 s · $0.0089

   Mirror vs bot. Their lead Kingambit is slower; my EQ is SE and likely 2HKO. Watch for Sucker Punch (fails vs status) and possible switch to Gholdengo (immune to EQ? No—Gholdengo is Steel, weak to Ground). Plan: EQ now, rocks later if they switch out. Gholdengo mid, my Kingambit cleans late.

   Reasoning trace (39 words)

   EQ is super effective, we outspeed. But Kingambit may Sucker Punch? Sucker fails vs status. Stealth Rock is safe-ish. But EQ likely 2HKO; they may switch. Rocks value. I'll EQ for damage—actually Kingambit couldSD then Sucker Punch. EQ first.

3. Turn 2
   PokéChamp switched to Dragonite
   Kimi K3 used Stealthrock2,383 tok · 3.1 s · $0.0087

   Their Kingambit at 3% will likely Sucker Punch (fails vs status) — set Stealth Rock now for free. If they Kowtow instead, Garchomp survives at ~40% and rocks still go up. Then EQ to finish or trade. Gholdengo mid, my Kingambit cleans late.

   Reasoning trace (17 words)

   Opposing Kingambit at 3%, likely Sucker Punch incoming. Use Stealth Rock to avoidSucker Punch and set hazards.

4. Turn 3
   PokéChamp used Icespinner
   Kimi K3 used Scaleshot2,574 tok · 3.9 s · $0.0097

   Dragonite in at full HP, likely Multiscale. Scale Shot's multi-hit breaks Multiscale on first hit, rest hit full — better than Stone Edge. Garchomp at 42% may die to Dragonite's attack, but speed boost from Scale Shot helps. Rocks already up. Gholdengo mid, Kingambit cleans late.

   Reasoning trace (43 words)

   Dragonite at full HP, Multiscale likely. Scale Shot breaks Multiscale with first hit then subsequent hits do full damage — better than Stone Edge vs Multiscale. Scale Shot 2-5 hits: first hit halved, rest full. Expected damage high, likely KOor near. Choose scaleshot.

   Kimi K3 switched to Kingambit2,547 tok · 3.7 s · $0.0099

   Dragonite at 15%, their Kingambit at 3%, rocks up on their side. Send Kingambit: Sucker Punch KOs Dragonite if it attacks; Kowtow Cleave if it stays. Kingambit also revenge-kills their Kingambit. Gholdengo saved for their third mon (possibly Gholdengo/Rotom/Skeledirge — Shadow Ball/Make It Rain coverage).

   Reasoning trace (37 words)

   Dragonite at 15%, rocks up. Send Kingambit: Sucker Punch picks off Dragonite (it will attack). But if it switches... Kingambit also beats their 3% Kingambit. Gholdengo resists Ice Spinner too. Kingambit's Sucker Punch is safest vs Dragonite.

5. Turn 4
   PokéChamp switched to Garchomp
   Kimi K3 used Suckerpunch2,725 tok · 3.3 s · $0.0100

   Dragonite at 15% will likely Ice Spinner; Sucker Punch (priority, boosted by Overlord+Black Glasses) KOs. If it switches, rocks chip the incoming mon. Their Kingambit at 3% dies to any hit or rocks. Third mon unknown: Gholdengo/Rotom/Skeledirge — my Gholdengo handles most. Keep Kingambit healthy for late sweep.

   Reasoning trace (23 words)

   Dragonite at 15%, likely attacks (Ice Spinner). Sucker Punch KOs. If it switches, Sucker Punch fails but rocks chip. Sucker Punch is safe.

6. Turn 5
   PokéChamp used Earthquake
   Kimi K3 used Suckerpunch3,071 tok · 7.8 s · $0.0137

   Their Garchomp at 93% will almost certainly attack (EQ/Scale Shot/Stone Edge). Sucker Punch (STAB, Black Glasses, Overlord +10%) does ~50-60%; I likely survive one hit and a second Sucker KOs. Their Kingambit (3%) and Dragonite (15%) die to rocks/any hit later. Gholdengo stays healthy as backup.

   Reasoning trace (145 words)

   Their Garchomp at 93% will likely Earthquake (Kingambit resists? Dark/Steel weak to Ground — EQ super effective, could KO). Kingambit 207 HP, Def 140. Garchomp Atk ~182, EQ 100 BP SE: likely ~70-90% damage. Risky. Sucker Punch with Overlord+BlackGlasses: 70 BP, STAB, 1.2x, 1.1x — vs Garchomp 93%: does ~50-60%. Not KO. But if they EQ, I might survive and Sucker again? Sucker only works if they attack. Alternatively switch Gholdengo — immune to Ground? No, Gholdengo Steel/Ghost weak to Ground. Hmm. Gholdengo also weak to EQ.
   
   Best: Sucker Punch twice? If they EQ turn 1, I take big damage but survive (~30-50 HP left?), Sucker does ~55%. Turn 2 Sucker again KOs. But they might Scale Shot... still attacking, Sucker works. Risk: they use Stealth Rock or Stone Edge (still attacking). Only fails vs status. Their Garchomp likely attacks. Sucker Punch is the play.

7. Turn 6
   PokéChamp used Earthquake
   Kimi K3 used Suckerpunch2,919 tok · 2.8 s · $0.0106

   Their Garchomp at 40%; my Sucker Punch did ~53% last turn, so it KOs if they attack. If they switch, rocks chip the incoming mon (their Kingambit at 3% dies to rocks, Dragonite at 15% nearly). Gholdengo at full HP cleans up whatever remains. Keep clicking Sucker Punch.

   Reasoning trace (31 words)

   Their Garchomp at 40%, my Kingambit at 32 HP. Sucker Punch KOs if it attacks (did ~53% last time). If it switches, Sucker fails but rocks chip. Sucker Punch is best.
