1. Team preview
   Chimps at the Zoo brought Primarina,gholdengo,dragapult
   GLM 5.3 Flash brought Garchomp,dragapult,kingambit1,949 tok · 2.5 s · $0.0002

   Mirror match. Bring Garchomp lead (Life Orb, fast), Dragapult (sash, fastest), Kingambit (late-game cleaner). Gholdengo/Primarina left out—opponent may bring them; Garchomp EQ hits Gholdengo, Dragapult outspeeds most. Watch for their lead choice turn 1.

2. Turn 1
   Chimps at the Zoo used Calmmind
   GLM 5.3 Flash used Earthquake2,094 tok · 16.1 s · $0.0002

   Mirror match. Their Primarina lead is slow; EQ is neutral on Water/Fairy. Chip it, then pivot to Dragapult vs their likely Gholdengo/Garchomp. Keep Kingambit for late game. Watch for their Garchomp outspeeding mine if max speed.

   Primarina resists EQ? No—Primarina is Water/Fairy, Ground is neutral. EQ hits neutrally. Swords dance is risky but EQ chip is fine. Just EQ.

3. Turn 2
   Chimps at the Zoo switched to Gholdengo
   GLM 5.3 Flash used Earthquake2,271 tok · 6.7 s · $0.0001

   Primarina at 24% with +1 CM; my EQ already did ~76%, so EQ should KO. Life Orb recoil fine. After KO, expect their Garchomp/Gholdengo in; keep Dragapult (sash) and Kingambit fresh. Their Garchomp may outspeed mine if max speed—consider Dragapult pivot later.

   Reasoning trace (18 words)

   Primarina at 24%, +1 SpA/SpD. EQ again likely KOs (first EQ did ~76%? 24% left). Yes, EQ kills.

   Chimps at the Zoo switched to Dragapult
4. Turn 3
   Chimps at the Zoo used Thunderbolt
   GLM 5.3 Flash used Scaleshot2,680 tok · 11.6 s · $0.0002

   Their Dragapult may outspeed mine (145-213). Scaleshot is SE STAB, 2-5 hits should KO it. Primarina at 24% +1 CM is a later cleanup target—Kingambit's Sucker Punch/Kowtow can handle it. Keep Dragapult (sash) fresh for their Garchomp. Watch for their Dragapult's speed investment.

   Reasoning trace (69 words)

   Their Dragapult likely faster. Scaleshot hits it hard (2-5 hits, SE). Garchomp at 147, Life Orb recoil. Scaleshot vs Dragapult: 25 BP x hits, SE 2x, STAB 1.5. Roughly 25*2*1.5=75 per hit before stats; Atk 182 vs Def ~95-139. Likely 2-3 hits KO. But risk of speed tie. Alternatively switch Dragapult in (sash) to threaten. Their Dragapult could hit mine with dragondarts. Scaleshot seems good—Dragon STAB SE. Do it.

5. Turn 4
   Chimps at the Zoo used Protect
   GLM 5.3 Flash used Earthquake2,727 tok · 8.4 s · $0.0002

   Primarina at 24% with +1 CM; my EQ already did ~76% and SpD boost doesn't affect physical EQ. EQ KOs it. Then expect their Garchomp (may outspeed mine) — keep Dragapult sash ready to pivot, Kingambit for late game. Garchomp at 129 HP, Life Orb recoil adds up.

   Reasoning trace (35 words)

   Primarina at 24% with +1 SpA/SpD. EQ did ~76% first turn (before CM). Now +1 SpD reduces... EQ is physical, SpD doesn't matter. EQ should KO again. But it's faster? No, I'm faster. EQ KO.

6. Turn 5
   Chimps at the Zoo used Moonblast
   GLM 5.3 Flash used Earthquake2,720 tok · 5.2 s · $0.0001

   Primarina at 24% with +1 CM; my EQ did ~76% before, EQ KOs it. Then their Garchomp comes in — mine is at 129 HP with +1 Spe, may be outsped if theirs is max speed. Keep Dragapult sash and Kingambit fresh for cleanup. Life Orb recoil adding up.
