Emerald Kaizo's opening gym, in authentic Gen 3 mechanics — no physical/special split, no fairies, and a Nosepass that refuses to die. Everything on her side has a held item and perfect stats. Yours does not.
Truant gives you every other turn. That is the entire puzzle, and it is not as generous as it sounds. Emerald Kaizo's Norman, in Gen 3 mechanics.
Elite Four Drake with Kaizo stat spreads. Ice Beam is not enough. In Gen 3 there is no Fairy type to save you and Dragon moves are special — which changes everything about what walls what.
Run & Bun style: you can see everything they have, and it does not help unless you plan the whole fight before turn one. Full teamsheet, no hidden information, no excuses.
Run & Bun's design philosophy in one position: nothing is random, everything is lethal, and every turn you spend setting up is a turn they spend killing something. Full teamsheet.
The last fight of a hardcore run. Full teamsheet, six against six, and you are already down two. This is what the end of a Run & Bun attempt actually looks like.
2014 World Championships, Masters Final. The most famous team in VGC history, and the Pokémon nobody prepared for. You are playing Sejun Park's side — an electric squirrel is your most important Pokémon, and you have to work out why.
2016 World Championships, Masters Final. Double Primal was the format's defining core, and the answer to it turned out to be a Raichu holding an Assault Vest. Exact team sheets from the final.
Same 2016 final, later position. The opponent is about to Protect with Groudon. If you attack into it you lose tempo; if you set up instead, you win the game. One turn, one read.
VGC 2014 in one position: everyone had Mega Kangaskhan, and beating it was the entire format. Power-Up Punch turns every turn you waste into a bigger problem.
Singles. The opposing Aegislash is in Shield forme and the AI has to decide whether to King's Shield. So do you. Two moves, one right answer, and the reasoning panel will show you exactly how close it was.
Sample scenario: 3 mons each, two starting with reduced HP. Both sides AI-driven.
Gen 4 OU battle. Garchomp faces Bronzong with Stealth Rock up.
Gen 5 OU battle. Volcarona tries to sweep past a bulky Water.
Gen 6 OU battle. Mega Charizard X faces Aegislash.
Gen 7 OU battle. Tapu Lele faces Toxapex on Psychic Terrain.
Gen 8 OU battle. Dragapult faces Clefable in a speed vs bulk matchup.
Three cats (Incineroar, Meowscarada, Meowstic) settle it with three dogs (Arcanine, Lycanroc, Boltund).
A friend's request: a dolphin (Palafin), a seal (Dewgong), and an elephant (Donphan) take on a pack of predators.
In the style of Radical Red's hardcore mode — a first gym that fights back like a tournament finals. Sturdy, Stealth Rock and a level cap you can't out-grind. Your lead is already hurt.
