Decisions
- Turn 1Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 switched to
GreatGreat Tusk is the decisive matchup: Booster Energy makes it faster than opposing Kingambit, and Close Combat threatens an immediate 4× super-effective knockout. Switching preserves Kingambit while gaining strong offensive pressure against the mirror.
Gemini 3.7_a5e switched toIronIron Valiant resists Kingambit's Dark STAB and threatens an immediate 4x super-effective Close Combat, forcing Kingambit to Tera or switch out, granting us immediate offensive momentum.
- Turn 2Gemini 3.7_a5e used
MoonblastIron Valiant cleanly outspeeds Great Tusk and targets its low base Special Defense with STAB Moonblast for a guaranteed or near-guaranteed OHKO. Clicking Moonblast is completely free.
Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 usedHeadlongrushHeadlong Rush is the strongest neutral hit and heavily damages or potentially KOs frail Iron Valiant, while Close Combat is resisted. Great Tusk can survive a likely special attack, so preserving Terastallization is preferable to spending it here.
Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 switched toGholdengoGholdengo is the optimal pivot: it is immune to Iron Valiant’s revealed Moonblast and also blocks the likely Fighting coverage that threatens Kingambit. Air Balloon preserves it from Ground coverage, while Gholdengo immediately threatens Iron Valiant with Make It Rain or Shadow Ball.
- Turn 3Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
MakeitrainMake It Rain is super effective against Iron Valiant and should comfortably OHKO from full, while Gholdengo resists Moonblast. Tera is unnecessary, so preserve it for a more important endgame turn.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedMoonblastGemini 3.7_a5e switched toGholdengoOpposing Gholdengo is at 61% HP and -2 SpA after Make It Rain. Bringing in Choice Scarf Gholdengo immediately threatens to outspeed and eliminate opposing Gholdengo with Shadow Ball, forcing a KO or a heavy switch-in punish.
- Turn 4Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 switched to
Ting-LuSwitch to Tinglu: it safely absorbs opposing Gholdengo’s Ghost attacks, mitigates special damage with Vessel of Ruin, and threatens an immediate super-effective Earthquake. Staying in at -2 risks losing the mirror or allowing the opponent to gain momentum with Nasty Plot.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedShadowballMy Choice Scarf Gholdengo outspeeds opposing Gholdengo (at 61% HP and -2 SpA). Shadow Ball is a guaranteed knockout on their Gholdengo and safe neutral/decent damage even on a predicted switch to Kingambit.
- Turn 5Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
EarthquakeEarthquake is the decisive play: it hits Gholdengo super effectively and pressures the revealed Kingambit on a switch. Tera is unnecessary now, preserving it for a more important endgame position while Ting-Lu comfortably withstands a likely Shadow Ball.
Gemini 3.7_a5e switched toOgerponGholdengo is choice-locked into Shadow Ball, which Ting-Lu easily walls due to its Dark typing and Vessel of Ruin. Staying in accomplishes nothing and gives Ting-Lu free hazards or a KO with Earthquake. Switching directly to Ogerpon-Wellspring creates immense offensive pressure with Water/Grass STAB and forces Ting-Lu out.
- Turn 6Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
RuinationRuination is the decisive play: it immediately cuts Ogerpon-Wellspring from 75% to 37.5%, putting it in range of a follow-up Earthquake while preserving Ting-Lu’s ability to absorb its likely Grass attack. Stealth Rock is less urgent than creating this knockout threshold, and switching risks giving Ogerpon momentum or setup.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedIvycudgelOgerpon-Wellspring has a decisive type advantage against Ting-Lu. Ivy Cudgel (Water-type boosted by Wellspring Mask) deals massive 2x super-effective STAB damage, cleanly 2HKOing standard Ting-Lu. Ting-Lu cannot OHKO back with Earthquake. Clicking Ivy Cudgel is the highest value, lowest-risk play.
- Turn 7Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 switched to
DragoniteTing-Lu is in knockout range of Ogerpon-Wellspring’s super-effective Ivy Cudgel, while attacking fails to immediately remove it. Dragonite safely resists Grass, preserves Ting-Lu, and enters at full HP with Multiscale intact.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedIvycudgelTing-Lu is at 40% HP and weak to Water. Ogerpon-Wellspring's Ivy Cudgel is Water-type with 100 BP and a 1.2x boost from Wellspring Mask, which easily KOs Ting-Lu from this range before it can move.
- Turn 8Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
EarthquakeEarthquake is the safest knockout: it cleanly threatens the weakened Ogerpon and also hits likely Gholdengo switching in super effectively. Extreme Speed risks giving Gholdengo a free immunity switch, while Tera is unnecessary.
Gemini 3.7_a5e switched toGholdengoDragonite is at 85% HP with Multiscale broken. Ogerpon is at 37.5% HP and in range of Dragonite's Extreme Speed. Switching to Gholdengo completely blanks Extreme Speed and gains immediate momentum with Choice Scarf.
- Turn 9Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
EarthquakeEarthquake safely KOs the heavily weakened Gholdengo and also punishes a switch to Kingambit far more than Extreme Speed. There is no need to Terastallize.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedMakeitrainChoice Scarf Gholdengo easily outspeeds Dragonite. Gholdengo is immune to Extreme Speed due to Ghost typing, so Dragonite cannot bypass Scarf speed with its standard priority. Dragonite's Multiscale is broken (85% HP). Make It Rain deals massive STAB damage and has a high chance to knock Dragonite out directly.
Gemini 3.7_a5e switched toRibombeeDragonite is at 21% HP (Multiscale broken). Ribombee has full HP and Focus Sash, guaranteeing it can take an Extreme Speed if needed and clean up Dragonite with Moonblast or set up Sticky Web to secure the endgame against their remaining grounded team (Kingambit, Ting-Lu, Gholdengo).
- Turn 10Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 switched to
KingambitDragonite is in immediate Moonblast KO range and cannot safely set up or Roost. Switch to Kingambit, which comfortably handles Ribombee’s Fairy pressure and threatens an immediate Iron Head while preserving Dragonite.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedMoonblast<decision> ACTION: MOVE: moonblast </decision>
- Turn 11Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
IronheadIron Head is the decisive choice: it is super effective against Ribombee and should KO from full, while Kingambit survives a non-boosted Moonblast. Tera is unnecessary, and Sucker Punch is less reliable if Ribombee uses a non-attacking move.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedStickywebRibombee is at full HP with Focus Sash intact against Kingambit. Setting Sticky Web now is completely safe and secures crucial speed control for our remaining sweepers (Ogerpon, Kingambit, Samurott-H) against their team.
- Turn 12Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
KowtowcleaveRibombee is at 1% and must be removed immediately. Kowtow Cleave reliably secures the KO without depending on Sucker Punch activation, while preserving Terastallization for the opposing Kingambit endgame.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedStickywebGemini 3.7_a5e switched toSamurottSamurott-Hisui is at full HP with Focus Sash intact and easily outspeeds Kingambit under Sticky Web. It can safely chunk Kingambit with Razor Shell or set Spikes, preserving our Supreme Overlord +3 Kingambit as the definitive late-game cleaner.
- Turn 13Gemini 3.7_a5e used
RazorshellHisuian Samurott outspeeds the enemy Kingambit (especially with Sticky Web active on the opponent's side) and has Focus Sash intact. Razor Shell benefits from the Sharpness ability (112.5 BP effective base power) and STAB, dealing substantial neutral damage to Kingambit with a 50% chance to drop Defense, putting it in range of our own Kingambit or subsequent attacks.
Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 switched toTing-LuSamurott-Hisui is faster through Sticky Web and can threaten Kingambit with a Water- or Fighting-type attack. Kingambit cannot KO from full with any attack, while Tera does not solve the matchup. Ting-Lu is the safest pivot: it resists Samurott’s Dark STAB, has enough HP to absorb a hit, and can punish or phaze it afterward.
Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 switched toDragapultSwitch to Dragapult: it avoids Sticky Web, outspeeds everything, and threatens an immediate Specs Draco Meteor OHKO on Samurott-Hisui. The other options are either vulnerable to its Water STAB or too weakened to safely gain momentum.
- Turn 14Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
FlamethrowerFlamethrower best covers the likely Kingambit switch while still pressuring Samurott-H. Draco Meteor is easily exploitable by Kingambit, whereas Flamethrower threatens a super-effective hit and avoids accuracy loss.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedCeaselessedge - Turn 15Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
FlamethrowerteraTera Fire Flamethrower maximizes the locked attack’s damage and likely secures the knockout on 72% Samurott-Hisui. Switching risks its strong Dark/Water attacks, while preserving Dragapult is less valuable than removing this threat immediately.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedKnockoffDragapult is at -1 Speed from Sticky Web, placing its max speed at 280. Hisuian Samurott has 295 Speed, outspeeding Dragapult. 100% accuracy Knock Off easily OHKOs Dragapult through its Ghost typing.
Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 switched toKingambitKingambit is the safest switch: it handles Samurott-H’s Dark attacks well, preserves the healthier endgame piece, and threatens meaningful damage with Kowtow Cleave. Gholdengo risks a super-effective Knock Off, while Dragonite is too low to reliably absorb any hit.
- Turn 16Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
SwordsdanceSwords Dance is the decisive setup: Samurott-H cannot immediately threaten a knockout, and +2 Sucker Punch should KO it after it attacks while preserving Kingambit’s endgame value against the opposing Kingambit.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedRazorshellHisuian Samurott outspeeds the slowed (-1 Spe) Kingambit. Sharpness-boosted Razor Shell deals substantial neutral damage (with a 50% chance to drop Defense) and easily puts Kingambit into KO range for subsequent turns or our full-health Kingambit in the back.
- Turn 17Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
KowtowcleaveKowtow Cleave is the strongest reliable option: at +2 Attack with Supreme Overlord, it should KO the 72% Samurott-Hisui and also heavily punish either likely switch. Sucker Punch is less safe if the opponent switches or uses a status move, while Iron Head is weaker and offers no meaningful matchup advantage.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedRazorshellSamurott-Hisui outspeeds -1 Kingambit and resists Sucker Punch (Water/Dark resists Dark). At 71% HP, Samurott easily survives a resisted +2 Sucker Punch. Sharpness-boosted STAB Razor Shell guarantees the KO onto the 46% HP Kingambit without risking accuracy drops or fail conditions.
Gemini 3.7_a5e switched toKingambitOpponent Kingambit is at 12% HP with +2 Atk, -1 Def, -1 Spe. Our Kingambit is at 100% HP with 4 Supreme Overlord boosts (1.4x), ready to sweep the remaining weakened Dragonite (21%) and Gholdengo (61%). Sending Kingambit secures the endgame safely.
- Turn 18Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
KowtowcleaveKowtow Cleave is the strongest reliable hit and avoids being blanked if opposing Kingambit uses Swords Dance or a non-attacking move. Sucker Punch is weaker and prediction-dependent, while switching sacrifices the boosted Kingambit at only 11% HP.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedSuckerpunchOpposing Kingambit is at 12% HP and -1 Speed. We naturally outspeed it. Using Sucker Punch guarantees we move first even against opposing Sucker Punch or standard attacks, easily securing the KO on a -1 Defense target while preserving our full HP.
Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 switched toGholdengoGholdengo is the necessary switch: at 61% it survives opposing Kingambit’s Sucker Punch and, despite Sticky Web, remains faster than standard Kingambit. Focus Blast threatens an immediate super-effective knockout, while Dragonite is too weakened to reliably pressure or withstand retaliation.
- Turn 19Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
FocusblastFocus Blast is the only strong super-effective option, hitting Kingambit for 4× damage and likely securing the knockout. Shadow Ball and Make It Rain are resisted, while Nasty Plot risks losing to Sucker Punch. Despite its 70% accuracy, Focus Blast is the best line.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedKowtowcleaveKingambit outspeeds the -1 Speed Gholdengo (lowered by Sticky Web). With 4 fainted allies, Supreme Overlord boosted Kowtow Cleave easily OHKOs Gholdengo from 61% HP without risking Sucker Punch failure against non-attacking moves.
Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 switched toDragoniteDragonite is the only surviving Pokémon and therefore the only legal action. It must enter against full-health Kingambit, though its low HP leaves no safe defensive line.
- Turn 20Gpt 5 6 Luna_201 used
EarthquakeEarthquake is the decisive play: it hits Kingambit super effectively and should KO from full, while bypassing Sucker Punch entirely. Extreme Speed cannot secure the knockout, and Dragon Dance or Roost gives Kingambit a free attack that may remove Dragonite.
Gemini 3.7_a5e usedKowtowcleaveOpponent has only Dragonite at 21% HP. Kingambit is at full HP (100%). Dragonite cannot OHKO Kingambit with unboosted Earthquake (does ~60-71%), and Kingambit resists Extreme Speed. Using Kowtow Cleave bypasses any Sucker Punch mindgames/Extreme Speed priority interactions and cleanly KOs Dragonite to win the game.
