   GLM 5.3 brought Garchomp,gholdengo,dragonite1,938 tok · 1.7 s · $0.0018

   Mirror match. Bring Garchomp lead (fast, strong), Gholdengo (walls Toxapex/Mimikyu, Make It Rain hits hard), Dragonite (Multiscale + ESpeed cleaner). Watch for opposing Mimikyu Disguise and Rotom-W burns; keep Garchomp healthy vs Dragonite.

2. Turn 1
   Chimps at the Zoo used Makeitrain
   GLM 5.3 used Earthquake2,002 tok · 1.5 s · $0.0016

   Mirror match. My Garchomp outspeeds their Gholdengo. EQ is super effective on Gholdengo; they may Protect or Recover. Plan: EQ now; if they switch to Dragonite/Mimikyu, reassess. Keep Gholdengo healthy for Toxapex; Dragonite as late cleaner.

3. Turn 2
   Chimps at the Zoo used Earthquake
   GLM 5.3 used Stoneedge2,311 tok · 2.6 s · $0.0015

   Their Dragonite at full HP (Multiscale halves damage); EQ immune. Stone Edge is SE, ~50% after Multiscale, 80% acc. Scaleshot alternative lowers my Def. They may Dragon Dance or attack. Plan: Stone Edge now; if it DDs, it still likely slower than me (Spe 90-145 vs my 169, +1 could outspeed—watch out). Keep Gholdengo for their third pick (likely Toxapex/Mimikyu).

   Dragonite at full HP with Multiscale; EQ immune. Stone Edge is SE, ~50% after multiscale. Scaleshot also SE. Stone Edge 80% acc. Dragonite may DD or attack. Stone Edge twice likely needed. Go stoneedge.

4. Turn 3
   Chimps at the Zoo used Earthquake
   GLM 5.3 used Stoneedge2,476 tok · 2.6 s · $0.0016

   Their Dragonite at 62%, Multiscale broken. Stone Edge again: SE, ~38% needed, 80% acc. If it Dragon Dances, +1 Speed could exceed my 169 (base up to 145). Scaleshot is backup (SE, +1 Spe). Keep Gholdengo/Dragonite healthy for their last pick (likely Garchomp or Rotom-Wash). Yache berry still held.

   Stone Edge again: ~38% left, likely KO after Multiscale broken. They may DD or attack. Stone Edge 80% acc; if miss, EQ from Dragonite hurts. Scaleshot SE, 2-5 hits ~50-125 BP, breaks Multiscale and boosts speed. Stone Edge is fine.

   Chimps at the Zoo used Shadowsneak
   GLM 5.3 used Earthquake2,695 tok · 3.7 s · $0.0020

   Mimikyu's Disguise blocks the first hit. Scaleshot is immune (Fairy). Plan: EQ now (100% acc) to break Disguise, then Stone Edge (SE) to KO—Mimikyu max ~162 HP, SE from my 182 Atk does ~60%+. Watch for Shadow Sneak priority; I'm at 60% HP. Keep Gholdengo/Dragonite healthy for endgame.

   Reasoning trace (112 words)

   Mimikyu disguise blocks first hit. Scaleshot hits multiple times—breaks disguise and damages. EQ doesn't affect Mimikyu? Mimikyu Ghost/Fairy—EQ neutral. Scaleshot is Dragon, no effect on Fairy. So EQ or Stone Edge. Stone Edge SE on Mimikyu (Rock vs Ghost/Fairy: neutral Ghost, SE Fairy). Stone Edge breaks disguise, ~50%+ damage. EQ neutral. Stone Edge 80% acc but disguise blocks first hit anyway—so first hit breaks disguise regardless. Stone Edge: if hits, breaks disguise only. Then next turn another Stone Edge. EQ breaks disguise too, then Stone Edge. Better: EQ now (100% acc) to break disguise, Stone Edge next turn. But Mimikyu may attack—shadow sneak/play rough/shadow claw. Garchomp at 60%. EQ breaks disguise safely.

6. Turn 5
   Chimps at the Zoo used Shadowclaw
   GLM 5.3 used Stoneedge2,734 tok · 3.1 s · $0.0018

   Mimikyu at 75%, Disguise busted. Stone Edge (SE, high crit) should KO; EQ only ~45%. If Stone Edge misses, Mimikyu Shadow Sneaks (I'm at 40%). If it survives/KOs me, Dragonite (full, Multiscale, Lum) cleans up with DD/EQ/Extreme Speed. Their third is already fainted—only Mimikyu left. Win is near; just finish it.

   Reasoning trace (44 words)

   Stone Edge to KO Mimikyu (75%, disguise busted). SE does ~60%+... 75% of ~162 = ~122 HP. SE from 182 Atk vs Mimikyu: likely enough. 80% acc risk; EQ does ~40-50%? EQ neutral on Ghost/Fairy, 100 BP vs low Def—maybe ~45%. Stone Edge better.

7. Turn 6
   Chimps at the Zoo used Shadowclaw
   GLM 5.3 used Earthquake2,715 tok · 1.8 s · $0.0016

   Mimikyu at 6%, I'm at 9 HP. Shadow Sneak is priority and would KO me first. Earthquake (100% acc) finishes it for the win. Stone Edge risks an 80% miss. This is the final opposing Pokémon—win on this turn.

   Mimikyu at 6%, Shadow Sneak priority would KO me at 9 HP. EQ 100% acc kills it. Do EQ.
