8. Turn 7
   PokéChamp used Earthquake
   Gemini 4 Argon used Shadowball3,403 tok · 333.8 s · $0.0051

   Us: Scarf Gholdengo (6/164 HP, locked into Shadow Ball), Lum Dragonite (100% HP, Multiscale). Opp: Dragonite (33% HP, -1 SpD), Scarf Gholdengo (24% HP). Plan: Click Shadow Ball. We outspeed both (speed tie with their Gholdengo later if needed) and are immune to Extreme Speed, so Shadow Ball KOs whichever stays in or switches in, leaving our full-HP Dragonite to clean up.
