   Opponent has dragons (Garchomp/Dragapult/Hydreigon/Kommo-o), Gyarados, Sylveon. Bring Garchomp lead (EQ hits all but Gyarados), Kingambit (beats Sylveon/Hydreigon, Sucker Punch), Gholdengo (Good as Gold blocks status, handles Sylveon/fairies). Primarina stays home; watch for Gyarados Intimidate and Mega Gyarados.

   GLM 5.3 Flash used Earthquake2,075 tok · 2.2 s · $0.0003

   Mirror Garchomp lead. EQ is strongest safe option; avoid contact moves (their Rough Skin + my Life Orb recoil). If they SD, EQ still chunks. Keep Kingambit for Sylveon/Hydreigon, Gholdengo for fairies/status. Watch for their Mega and Gyarados Intimidate later.

   Lead Garchomp mirror. EQ is best; scaleshot risky (contact, roughskin). EQ does big damage.

   Drex v1.5 switched to Hydreigon1,986 tok · 1.8 s

   40% SWITCH: hydreigon, 18% SWITCH: dragapult, 16% MOVE: earthquake

   GLM 5.3 Flash used Earthquake2,213 tok · 4.9 s · $0.0004

   Mirror Garchomp: mine faster or equal, theirs at 38%. EQ again likely KOs (38% + Life Orb EQ ~90+ dmg). If they switch, EQ hits switch-in. Avoid contact (Rough Skin risk). Keep SD for later; Kingambit for Sylveon/Hydreigon, Gholdengo for fairies. SR on my side hurts Gyarados/Dragapult switch-ins.

   Drex v1.5 used Dragontail2,014 tok · 1.1 s

   38% MOVE: dragontail, 34% SWITCH: dragapult, 12% MOVE: stealthrock

   GLM 5.3 Flash used Scaleshot2,502 tok · 3.2 s · $0.0005

   Hydreigon Levitate blocks EQ. Scaleshot is SE per Showdown; Life Orb multi-hit chunks it hard. Their Garchomp still at 38% lurking. Keep Kingambit for Sylveon/Hydreigon, Gholdengo for fairies. Watch their Mega (likely Gyarados or Kommo-o). Avoid contact moves on their Rough Skin Garchomp.

   Reasoning trace (64 words)

   Hydreigon Levitate, immune to EQ. Scaleshot 4x? Dragon vs Dark/Dragon: Dragon is SE vs Dragon, resisted? Dark neutral, Dragon resists Dragon... Dragon/Dragon = 2x? Dragon resists Dragon, so 2x/2x = neutral? No: Dragon hits Dragon super effectively (2x), Dragon resists Dragon (0.5x) → net 1x. Actually Showdown says "super effective on hydreigon" — trust that. Scaleshot multi-hit with Life Orb, likely good. Use scaleshot.

5. Turn 4
   GLM 5.3 Flash used Scaleshot2,645 tok · 2.1 s · $0.0004

   Dragapult faster than most, but my Garchomp (253) outspeeds. EQ immune; Scaleshot SE 2-5 hits, likely big chunk/KO. Their Garchomp at 38% lurking. Keep Kingambit for Sylveon, Gholdengo for fairies. SR on my side chips my switch-ins. Watch their Mega (not yet revealed).

   Reasoning trace (23 words)

   Dragapult likely physical, immune to EQ. Scaleshot SE, 2-5 hits, could KO. Dragapult may outspeed? Mine 253 vs 145-213 — I'm faster. Scaleshot.

   GLM 5.3 Flash used Earthquake2,733 tok · 2.4 s · $0.0003

   Their Garchomp at 38%: EQ likely KOs (Life Orb EQ ~90+). If they switch, EQ hits switch-in (SR chips Gyarados/Pult). I'm at 70%, Spe +2, outspeeds everything. Avoid contact (Rough Skin). Keep SD for later; Kingambit for Sylveon, Gholdengo for fairies. Their Mega unrevealed—likely Kommo-o/Gyarados.

   Their Garchomp at 38%, EQ likely KOs. But they may switch. EQ is safe.
