Decisions
- Turn 1Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
HeadlongrushGreat Tusk naturally outspeeds non-Choice Scarf Gholdengo, and STAB super-effective Headlong Rush threatens an immediate knockout. It is the only meaningful attacking option here; Terastallization is unnecessary.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedMakeitrainChoice Scarf Gholdengo outspeeds Great Tusk (439 Speed vs max 299/430). Great Tusk's low base Special Defense (53) makes it extremely vulnerable to special attacks. Make It Rain deals massive damage (potential OHKO on offensive sets, heavy chunk on defensive sets), exerting immediate maximum pressure.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 switched toTing-LuTing-Lu is the safest response to the -1 Gholdengo: Vessel of Ruin and massive special bulk handle Make It Rain, Shadow Ball, and even super-effective Focus Blast without risking an immediate knockout. It can then establish Stealth Rock.
- Turn 2Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
StealthrockGholdengo’s -1 Special Attack makes it unable to pressure healthy Ting-Lu significantly. This is a safe opportunity to establish Stealth Rock while also punishing the likely switch.
Gemini 3.7_a2d switched toOgerponGholdengo is locked into Make It Rain with Choice Scarf at -1 Special Attack against a full HP Ting-Lu. Ting-Lu easily walls this and threatens an OHKO with Earthquake. Ogerpon-Wellspring is the optimal switch-in, resisting Ground and putting immense offensive pressure on Ting-Lu with super-effective STAB moves.
- Turn 3Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 switched to
DragoniteDragonite is the safest switch, resisting both Ogerpon-Wellspring STABs while Multiscale cushions coverage. Ting-Lu is threatened by its Grass attacks and should be preserved.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedIvycudgelOgerpon-Wellspring holds Wellspring Mask, making Ivy Cudgel a 100 BP Water-type STAB move hitting Ting-Lu for super effective damage. Ting-Lu cannot easily take boosted Water attacks and has no reliable recovery outside Leftovers/Rest. Clicking Ivy Cudgel applies immediate massive pressure.
- Turn 4Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 switched to
DragapultDragapult outspeeds Wellspring Ogerpon and resists both STABs, then threatens a Specs Draco Meteor knockout. Dragonite cannot outspeed Ogerpon after only one Dragon Dance and risks Encore or Play Rough.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedPlayroughOgerpon-Wellspring is naturally faster than Dragonite. With Dragonite's Multiscale already broken at 87% HP, Play Rough is super effective and has an extremely high chance to outright OHKO standard Dragonite variants. Clicking Play Rough is the safest and most lethal play.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 switched toGholdengoGholdengo is the safest pivot: it resists Play Rough and can withstand Ivy Cudgel far better than Ting-Lu, while Dragonite risks a super-effective Play Rough with Multiscale already broken.
- Turn 5Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
ShadowballOgerpon outspeeds, but its revealed STABs are resisted by Gholdengo. Shadow Ball is Gholdengo’s strongest reliable neutral attack; Make It Rain is resisted and lowers Special Attack, while Nasty Plot risks an unrevealed Knock Off.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedIvycudgelOgerpon-Wellspring outspeeds Gholdengo (350 vs 293 max). Ivy Cudgel is a Water-type STAB move with Wellspring Mask, dealing heavy neutral damage to Gholdengo (~55-65%) and popping its Air Balloon, while also heavily punishing switches to Ting-Lu or Dragonite.
- Turn 6Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 switched to
KingambitOgerpon outspeeds and easily KOs 5% Gholdengo. Kingambit is the only healthy switch that resists Ivy Cudgel and takes Play Rough neutrally, preserving Gholdengo as a future sacrifice.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedIvycudgelOpposing Gholdengo is at 6% HP. Ogerpon-W outspeeds base 84 Gholdengo (unless Scarfed, but even if it attacks, Ogerpon can take Shadow Ball or finish it). Ivy Cudgel / Horn Leech guarantees the KO.
- Turn 7Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
SuckerpunchOgerpon-Wellspring outspeeds, but Sucker Punch cleanly exceeds its remaining 51% after STAB and Supreme Overlord’s two-ally boost. Attacking directly avoids risking Kingambit to a potential Fighting coverage move.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedIvycudgelteraKingambit is at 60% HP. Terastallizing Ogerpon-Wellspring into Water boosts Ivy Cudgel's damage sufficiently to guarantee a clean knockout from 60% HP, removing opponent's major physical threat and Supreme Overlord user.
Gemini 3.7_a2d switched toIronOgerpon-Wellspring fainted, giving a free switch. Opposing Kingambit is at 66% HP. Iron Valiant 4x resists Dark, gets a Speed boost via Booster Energy Quark Drive, and cleanly threatens Kingambit with a 4x super-effective Close Combat while maintaining huge offensive pressure against the rest of their team (Dragonite, Ting-Lu, Gholdengo).
- Turn 8Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
IronheadteraIron Valiant outspeeds and threatens an immediate Fighting-type knockout. Terastallizing removes Kingambit’s crippling Fighting weakness, while Iron Head is boosted by two fallen allies through Supreme Overlord and should KO Valiant from 94%.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedMoonblastIron Valiant 4x resists Kingambit's Sucker Punch, making priority non-threatening. From 66% HP, Moonblast easily picks up the knockout against Kingambit's weaker Special Defense stat while remaining safe against potential Tera Flying or Tera Ghost defensive counterplay.
Gemini 3.7_a2d switched toSamurottOpposing Kingambit is Tera Flying at 25% HP. Hisuian Samurott naturally outspeeds it, resists Sucker Punch, takes minimal damage from Iron Head, and easily picks up the KO with Ceaseless Edge or Sucker Punch. Preserves our Kingambit for late-game sweeping.
- Turn 9Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 switched to
DragoniteKingambit cannot KO 88% Samurott-Hisui and is outsped and threatened with a knockout. Dragonite is the safest pivot, resisting Samurott’s Water STAB while preserving Kingambit’s late-game Sucker Punch.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedKnockoffSamurott-Hisui is faster than Kingambit, 4x resists Sucker Punch, and survives any hit from full/87.5% HP. Knock Off has 100% accuracy and easily KOs 25% HP Tera Flying Kingambit while removing risks of misses from Razor Shell or Ceaseless Edge.
- Turn 10Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
DragondanceDragonite survives itemless Knock Off or Ceaseless Edge from this range, while Dragon Dance enables it to outspeed Samurott and threaten the opposing core with boosted Extreme Speed and Earthquake. Switching forfeits the strongest immediate win condition.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedKnockoffDragonite is at 42% HP with Multiscale broken. Samurott-Hisui outspeeds and easily KOs with Knock Off (100% accuracy) or Ceaseless Edge. Knock Off is optimal here for 100% accuracy to cleanly eliminate Dragonite without missing.
- Turn 11Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
RoostDragonite cannot KO Samurott-H from 88% with either attack, while its +1 boosts make it valuable for the endgame. Roost restores enough HP to survive Samurott’s likely attack and continue pressuring afterward.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedSuckerpunchDragonite is at 13% HP with +1 Speed and +1 Attack. Sucker Punch provides priority to eliminate Dragonite before it can attack with non-priority moves, cleanly removing their boosted sweeper.
- Turn 12Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
ExtremespeedAt +1 Attack, STAB Extreme Speed has a strong chance to KO Samurott-H from 88% while moving before both Knock Off and Sucker Punch due to Dragonite’s boosted Speed within the shared priority bracket. It also preserves the sweep against Gholdengo, which can be hit by Earthquake afterward.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedSuckerpunchDragonite is at +1 Attack and +1 Speed, outspeeding Samurott-Hisui. Samurott's Focus Sash is broken due to Stealth Rock. Dragonite is at 63% HP and likely to attack this turn to sweep. Sucker Punch bypasses the speed advantage and chips Dragonite heavily, enabling a revenge kill with Kingambit or Choice Scarf Gholdengo if Samurott goes down.
- Turn 13Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
ExtremespeedAt +1 Attack, Extreme Speed comfortably KOs 28% Hisuian Samurott while moving before Sucker Punch, preserving Dragonite’s health and boosted sweep position.
Gemini 3.7_a2d switched toGholdengoDragonite is at +1 Attack and +1 Speed with Extreme Speed (+2 priority), which will KO Samurott-Hisui before it can move. Gholdengo is Ghost-type, rendering Extreme Speed completely useless. Furthermore, Choice Scarf Gholdengo reaches 439 Speed, outspeeding +1 Dragonite (max 393 Speed). Switching Gholdengo in on the obvious Extreme Speed gives us immediate control to revenge kill Dragonite.
- Turn 14Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 switched to
Ting-LuDragonite cannot OHKO healthy Gholdengo with +1 Earthquake and risks being KOed by Make It Rain. Ting-Lu safely absorbs the special hit, preserves Dragonite as the cleaner, and threatens Gholdengo with Earthquake.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedMakeitrainChoice Scarf Gholdengo (439 Speed) outspeeds +1 Dragonite (max 426 Speed). Dragonite's Extreme Speed is immune against Ghost-type Gholdengo. Make It Rain is guaranteed to KO Dragonite from 63% HP since Multiscale is broken.
- Turn 15Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
EarthquakeEarthquake is the safest progress: it heavily damages Gholdengo, cannot miss, and also KOes a potential 28% Samurott-Hisui switch. Ting-Lu comfortably withstands Gholdengo’s -1 Make It Rain.
Gemini 3.7_a2d switched toRibombeeGholdengo is Choice-locked into Make It Rain at -1 SpA, facing a bulky Ting-Lu. Switching out is necessary to avoid losing Gholdengo to Earthquake/Payback. Ribombee is at full HP, resists Ting-Lu's STAB attacks (Ground and Dark), and can threaten heavy damage with Moonblast or set Sticky Web to secure the endgame for Kingambit.
- Turn 16Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
EarthquakeRibombee is extremely frail and at 40%; Ting-Lu’s STAB Earthquake has a strong chance to KO despite Bug’s resistance. Removing it now is better than allowing Sticky Web or another support turn.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedStickywebRibombee outspeeds Ting-Lu easily. Setting Sticky Web right now ensures our remaining team (Kingambit with Supreme Overlord boosts and Choice Scarf Gholdengo) maintains total speed control to clean up the opponent's low-health remaining bench (Dragonite, low Kingambit, low Gholdengo).
Gemini 3.7_a2d switched toSamurottSamurott-Hisui cleanly outspeeds Ting-Lu and deals massive STAB Sharpness-boosted Water damage with Razor Shell. Sending in Samurott allows us to heavily pressure Ting-Lu without risking our 100% HP Kingambit or Choice Scarf Gholdengo, preserving Kingambit as the primary win condition against Dragonite and the chipped Kingambit/Gholdengo.
- Turn 17Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
EarthquakeEarthquake safely KOs 15% Samurott-Hisui through Sucker Punch while also heavily punishing a Gholdengo switch.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedRazorshellSamurott-Hisui outspeeds Ting-Lu. With Sharpness and STAB, Razor Shell hits Ting-Lu for massive super-effective damage and has a 50% chance to drop Defense, putting Ting-Lu directly into KO range for Kingambit or Scarf Gholdengo to sweep the rest of the opponent's weakened team.
Gemini 3.7_a2d switched toKingambitKingambit enters with 4 Supreme Overlord boosts (1.4x attack). Ting-Lu is at 38% HP with -1 Defense, meaning Kingambit easily finishes it with Kowtow Cleave. Scarf Gholdengo risks being trapped and Earthquake OHKOed by Ting-Lu. Kingambit is the optimal send-in to clean up the rest of the opponent's weakened team.
- Turn 18Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
EarthquakeEarthquake is the strongest immediate response, hitting Kingambit super effectively for heavy damage and preventing a free Swords Dance. Ting-Lu’s low HP and Defense drop make passive plays too risky.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedKowtowcleaveKingambit has 4 Supreme Overlord boosts (4 allies down) and easily outspeeds Ting-Lu. Ting-Lu is at 38% HP and at -1 Defense. Kowtow Cleave is 100% accurate and cleanly KOs Ting-Lu before it can move, securing momentum to sweep the remaining weakened opposing Pokémon with Kingambit and Scarf Gholdengo in the back.
- Turn 19Gemini 3.7_a2d used
Kowtowcleave- Ting-Lu is at 16% HP, -1 Def, and is slower (or under Sticky Web anyway). - Kingambit has 4 Supreme Overlord boosts (4 allies fainted). - Kowtow Cleave or Iron Head will easily KO Ting-Lu from 16% at -1 Def. - Kowtow Cleave is 100% accurate and neutral/effective against potential switches, but Ting-Lu is in KO range of Kowtow Cleave even resisted. - Sucker Punch is unnecessary and risky if Ting-Lu uses Stealth Rock/whirlwind/rest, while standard attacks (Kowtow Cleave / Iron Head) naturally outspeed Ting-Lu (Kingambit 199 Spe vs Ting-Lu 45 base Spe with Sticky Web). - Kowtow Cleave guarantees the KO on Ting-Lu.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 usedWhirlwindKingambit’s likely Sucker Punch would KO Ting-Lu before Earthquake. Whirlwind bypasses Sucker Punch and phases it into the opponent’s only remaining teammate, Gholdengo, which also takes Stealth Rock damage.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 switched toDragoniteDragonite is the only switch that reliably survives Kingambit’s attack and immediately threatens a knockout with Earthquake. Gholdengo is vulnerable to Sucker Punch, while our weakened Kingambit risks losing the mirror.
- Turn 20Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
EarthquakeEarthquake comfortably KOs Kingambit from 31%. Even a four-faint Supreme Overlord Sucker Punch should not remove Dragonite from 226 HP without a prior Swords Dance, so taking the direct knockout is optimal.
Gemini 3.7_a2d usedSuckerpunchDragonite is at 63% HP with Multiscale broken. With 4 fallen allies granting Supreme Overlord (+40%), Kingambit's Sucker Punch deals ~58-69%, heavily favored to KO. If Dragonite goes for an attacking move (such as Earthquake or Low Kick to KO Kingambit), Sucker Punch has +1 priority and picks up the KO before Dragonite can strike.
Gemini 3.7_a2d switched toGholdengo<decision> SWITCH: gholdengo </decision>
- Turn 21Gemini 3.7_a2d used
ShadowballChoice Scarf Gholdengo outspeeds the remaining weakened opposing Pokémon. Shadow Ball reliably KOs the 10% Dragonite, and cleans up the remaining 6% Gholdengo and 25% Tera Flying Kingambit without inflicting Sp. Atk drops like Make It Rain.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 switched toGholdengoDragonite cannot damage Ghost-type Gholdengo with Extreme Speed and is KOed before Earthquake. Preserve Kingambit as the winning Supreme Overlord Sucker Punch user by sacrificing the 5% Gholdengo first.
Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 switched toKingambitBoth remaining Pokémon are KOed by Stealth Rock on entry. Kingambit is the marginally better choice in case hazard damage rounding allows it to survive and receive Leftovers recovery.
- Turn 22Gpt 5 6 Sol_ff4 used
SuckerpunchSucker Punch is priority and, with four fallen allies boosting Supreme Overlord, cleanly KOs Gholdengo from 88%. Any non-priority attack risks Kingambit being KOed first.
