Decisions
- Turn 1Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
TrickTrick is the safest way to neutralize a likely Dragon Dance lead. Gholdengo moves first with Choice Scarf, and forcing Dragonite into one move prevents setup sweeping while revealing or removing its item.
Gemini 3.7_143 switched toTing-LuSwitching to Ting-Lu is the safest and most optimal play. Ting-Lu completely walls Gholdengo with Vessel of Ruin, preserves Dragonite's Multiscale for a late-game Dragon Dance sweep, and gives immediate opportunity to set Stealth Rock.
- Turn 2Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b switched to
OgerponGholdengo cannot meaningfully damage Ting-Lu and risks a likely Ground attack. Ogerpon-Wellspring safely resists Earthquake, tolerates Ting-Lu’s other common moves, and immediately pressures it with Ivy Cudgel or Swords Dance.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedEarthquakeTing-Lu is active against Gholdengo after Trick traded items. Ting-Lu has STAB Earthquake which threatens an immediate OHKO on Gholdengo, while Gholdengo cannot threaten a knockout in return through Vessel of Ruin and Ting-Lu's massive bulk. Earthquake is the clear, optimal play.
- Turn 3Gemini 3.7_143 switched to
DragoniteTing-Lu is Choice-locked into Earthquake against Ogerpon-Wellspring (Grass/Water), which resists Ground and threatens massive super-effective STAB damage (Ivy Cudgel / Horn Leech). Ting-Lu cannot stay in and must switch out. Dragonite with Multiscale and Heavy-Duty Boots is a premier switch-in to Ogerpon-Wellspring, resisting both Grass and Water STABs (or 4x resisting Grass and taking resisted Water). It safely enters and threatens Dragon Dance, Roost, or Extreme Speed. Dragapult also resists both STABs, but Dragonite's typing and bulk make it safer without taking chip on Dragapult. Switching to Dragonite is the optimal play.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b usedIvycudgelOgerpon outspeeds even maximum-Speed Choice Scarf Ting-Lu and Ivy Cudgel is super effective. It is the strongest accurate attack and avoids risking a setup turn against Earthquake.
- Turn 4Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
PlayroughOgerpon outspeeds unboosted Dragonite, whose Multiscale is already broken at 78%. Play Rough is the only super-effective attack and threatens the immediate KO; Terastallizing provides no needed offensive boost.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedExtremespeedteraDragonite sits at 77.7% HP against Ogerpon-Wellspring (77% HP). Ogerpon-Wellspring commonly runs Play Rough, which threatens Dragonite directly. Tera Normal Extreme Speed deals ~60–72% damage, giving a very high chance to pick up the knockout immediately without risking Dragonite taking high damage or fainting to Play Rough.
- Turn 5Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b switched to
GholdengoTera Normal Dragonite’s boosted Extreme Speed easily KOs 12% Ogerpon. Gholdengo is immune to Normal, giving a free switch while preserving Ogerpon as a later sacrifice.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedExtremespeedOgerpon-Wellspring is at 12% HP. Tera Normal STAB Extreme Speed has +2 priority, easily outspeeding and guaranteeing the knockout on Ogerpon before it can attack.
- Turn 6Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
MakeitrainGholdengo is immune to Tera Normal Extreme Speed, naturally outspeeds unboosted Dragonite, and Make It Rain comfortably KOs from 45%. Terastallization is unnecessary.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedEarthquakeTera Normal Dragonite is immune to Shadow Ball, and Gholdengo has Leftovers (not Air Balloon). Earthquake from 403 Atk Dragonite deals 85-100%+ to standard Gholdengo, either picking up a clean OHKO or dealing fatal damage. Clicking Earthquake is the highest-reward play.
Gemini 3.7_143 switched toDragapultDragapult naturally outspeeds Gholdengo and threatens an immediate OHKO with Choice Specs Shadow Ball while preserving Great Tusk's Booster Energy and saving Kingambit for later clean-up.
- Turn 7Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b switched to
KingambitDragapult outspeeds and threatens Gholdengo, while the -1 Special Attack prevents a Shadow Ball knockout. Kingambit is the safest pivot: it is immune to Ghost, resists Dragon, and Lum Berry covers Will-O-Wisp.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedShadowballDragapult is faster than Gholdengo (421 Speed vs max 293 Speed). Choice Specs Shadow Ball is a guaranteed or near-guaranteed OHKO on Gholdengo and easily finishes off a weakened switch-in like Ogerpon-W. Shadow Ball is completely safe and decisively removes the opposing threat.
- Turn 8Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
KowtowcleaveKingambit is immune to the revealed Shadow Ball and survives typical unboosted Fire coverage from 71%. Kowtow Cleave is superior to Sucker Punch because it heavily damages Dragapult while still succeeding if Dragapult switches or uses a status move.
Gemini 3.7_143 switched toGreatDragapult is locked into Shadow Ball by Choice Specs, which Kingambit resists. Staying in risks losing Dragapult to Sucker Punch or Kowtow Cleave. Switching to Great Tusk is the safest and most dominant play, resisting Dark attacks, threatening a 4x super-effective Fighting KO, and seizing full control of the match.
- Turn 9Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b switched to
RibombeeKingambit is slower and folds to either Great Tusk STAB. Ribombee is the safest pivot because it resists both Fighting and Ground, preserves stronger attackers, and can threaten Moonblast or establish Sticky Web next turn.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedClosecombatGreat Tusk naturally outspeeds Kingambit and resists Dark/takes very little from Sucker Punch thanks to its high physical defense. Close Combat is a 4x super-effective STAB move that easily secures the knockout from 71% HP.
- Turn 10Gemini 3.7_143 switched to
GholdengoGreat Tusk is outsped by Ribombee and at -1 SpD, meaning it will faint to Moonblast. Gholdengo resists both of Ribombee's STABs, is completely immune to Sticky Web and powder/status moves thanks to Good as Gold, and takes minimal damage from anything Ribombee can do. Switching to Gholdengo is the optimal play.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b usedMoonblastGreat Tusk is slower and at -1 Special Defense after Close Combat. STAB super-effective Moonblast cleanly KOs from 84%, removing the opponent’s likely hazard remover without risking a switch.
- Turn 11Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
StickywebSticky Web is decisive: Ribombee outspeeds Gholdengo and can establish it before likely being KOed. Webs cripple Dragapult and Choice Scarf Ting-Lu, while our Gholdengo can later deter Great Tusk from spinning.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedMakeitrainGholdengo completely walls Ribombee due to its 4x resistance to Fairy and immunity to Sticky Web / status via Good as Gold. At 62% HP, Ribombee is easily KOed by Gholdengo's STAB attacks. Make It Rain is 100% accurate and guarantees the immediate knockout.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b switched toSamurottSamurott-H outspeeds webbed Gholdengo and immediately threatens a knockout with Sharpness-boosted, super-effective Ceaseless Edge while adding Spikes if Gholdengo switches. Focus Sash also guarantees value against an unexpected Choice Scarf.
- Turn 12Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
KnockoffKnock Off threatens the 76% Gholdengo with a super-effective, Sharpness-boosted hit while remaining accurate. If the opponent switches, removing Scarf from Ting-Lu or Boots from Great Tusk creates major progress alongside Sticky Web.
Gemini 3.7_143 switched toGreatHisuian Samurott easily outspeeds Gholdengo (especially with Sticky Web down) and threatens an immediate OHKO with Ceaseless Edge or Knock Off. Great Tusk resists Dark, easily tanks Ceaseless Edge, and can threaten a KO with Close Combat while enabling Rapid Spin to remove Sticky Web.
- Turn 13Gemini 3.7_143 used
HeadlongrushGpt 5 6 Sol_d9b usedRazorshellSharpness-boosted Razor Shell is super effective and heavily pressures Great Tusk. Samurott outspeeds the -1 Tusk and retains Focus Sash, so it can safely attack without spending Terastallization.
Gemini 3.7_143 switched toDragapultDragapult with Choice Specs applies immense immediate offensive pressure to the opponent's remaining team. Draco Meteor cleanly OHKOs Samurott-Hisui and heavily damages anything switching in.
- Turn 14Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
KnockoffSticky Web drops Dragapult below Samurott’s Speed unless it is Scarfed; even then Focus Sash prevents a one-hit KO. Knock Off is accurate, super effective, and gains boosted power from Dragapult’s held item, securing the KO without Ceaseless Edge’s miss risk.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedDracometeorDragapult with Choice Specs Draco Meteor easily OHKOs Samurott-Hisui (115.8 - 136.9%). Unless Samurott-H is Jolly max speed or clicks Sucker Punch/Scarf Knock Off, Dragapult claims an immediate knockout. Clicking Draco Meteor provides the highest immediate value.
Gemini 3.7_143 switched toTing-LuhallucinationIncident report
[FALLBACK] LLM proposed invalid action 'MOVE: '. Chose default valid move. Original LLM Reasoning:
- Turn 15Gemini 3.7_143 used
EarthquakeEarthquake is the most spammable, high-damage move against Samurott-Hisui and the rest of the opponent's team (Gholdengo, Kingambit, and weakened Ogerpon-W). Ting-Lu easily tanks any hit from full HP.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b usedCeaselessedgeSticky Web cancels Ting-Lu’s Choice Scarf boost, so Samurott moves first and its Focus Sash guarantees hazard setup through Earthquake. Ceaseless Edge chips Ting-Lu while adding a Spike, putting the opponent’s remaining Gholdengo under crucial entry pressure.
- Turn 16Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
RazorshellSticky Web negates Ting-Lu’s Choice Scarf advantage, so Samurott-Hisui moves first. Razor Shell is the strongest immediate hit due to Water STAB, super effectiveness, and Sharpness, heavily weakening Ting-Lu while preserving Terastallization.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedEarthquake<decision> ACTION: MOVE: earthquake </decision>
- Turn 17Gemini 3.7_143 used
EarthquakeTing-Lu is Choice-locked into Earthquake. Hisuian Samurott is at 7% HP and dies to Earthquake. Switching Kingambit or Gholdengo directly would force them to take hazard damage unnecessarily. Clicking Earthquake is the only correct play.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b usedRazorshellSharpness-boosted Razor Shell is the strongest neutral attack and Samurott outspeeds Scarf Ting-Lu after Sticky Web. It has the best chance to secure the KO; Terastallization is unnecessary with ample endgame resources.
Gemini 3.7_143 switched toKingambitBringing in Kingambit is the clear play. With 4 fallen allies, Supreme Overlord gives Kingambit huge offensive power. Gholdengo is vulnerable to Samurott-Hisui's Dark STAB moves (Knock Off / Ceaseless Edge), whereas Kingambit resists Dark and can easily pick off Samurott-H with Sucker Punch, setting up to clean the remaining weakened opposing team (Ogerpon at 12%, Kingambit at 71%, Gholdengo at 100%).
- Turn 18Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
SuckerpunchSamurott is in KO range and opposing Kingambit can bypass its Speed drop with Sucker Punch. Using Sucker Punch guarantees chip if Kingambit attacks, whereas any regular move may be denied entirely. This preserves clean revenge-kill ranges for Iron Valiant.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedSuckerpunchSamurott-Hisui is at 7% HP and outspeeds Kingambit due to the speed drop. Sucker Punch provides priority to eliminate Samurott before it can launch an attack or set more hazards, conserving Kingambit's HP to clean up the rest of the opponent's team with Supreme Overlord boosts.
- Turn 19Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b switched to
IronKingambit will likely use Sucker Punch to finish the 7% Samurott. Iron Valiant takes negligible damage from Dark priority, activates Booster Energy, and immediately forces Kingambit out or threatens a Close Combat knockout.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedKowtowcleaveSamurott-Hisui is at 7% HP with a revealed moveset of Knock Off, Razor Shell, Ceaseless Edge, and Sucker Punch (no Fighting-type coverage). Kingambit easily tanks any single hit from this range. Sucker Punch is risky due to priority mechanics against a faster Sucker Punch user. Kowtow Cleave is 100% accurate and guarantees the KO regardless of what move Samurott-Hisui chooses.
- Turn 20Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
ClosecombatClose Combat is 4× super effective and comfortably OHKOs Kingambit from 89%. Iron Valiant also double-resists Sucker Punch, so there is no need to Terastallize.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedKowtowcleaveGemini 3.7_143 switched toGholdengo<decision> SWITCH: gholdengo </decision>
- Turn 21Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
ShadowballteraShadow Ball is the only effective attack, but unboosted damage does not reliably KO Gholdengo from 63%. Terastallizing into Ghost secures the knockout while removing Iron Valiant’s Steel weakness.
Gemini 3.7_143 usedShadowballIron Valiant is at 80% HP and -1 SpD. Shadow Ball easily KOs Iron Valiant with STAB without dropping Gholdengo's Special Attack via Make It Rain, preserving damage output for Kingambit and opponent Gholdengo.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b switched toKingambitKingambit safely resists both revealed attacks and outspeeds the Sticky Web-lowered Gholdengo (199 vs. roughly 195 Speed), allowing a guaranteed knockout next turn.
- Turn 22Gpt 5 6 Sol_d9b used
KowtowcleaveOpposing Gholdengo is at 6% and, after its -1 Speed drop, Kingambit outspeeds even a maximum-Speed variant. Kowtow Cleave is super effective, accurate, and guarantees the knockout without Sucker Punch prediction risk.
