In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a strategic move involving Teran normal transformation and using Calm Mind to set up their Pokémon, Sinista, for a stronger defensive and offensive position. The opponent’s Ice Shard attack does minimal damage due to Sinista’s max defense. The speaker uses Shadow Ball to eliminate a significant defensive threat, paving the way for further attacks. Facing Gerra, the opponent misses with Thunder Wave, allowing Sinista to avoid status impairments and successfully use Shadow Ball twice to eliminate Gerra.

In this segment, the player discusses strategic moves and their outcomes in a Pokémon battle. They successfully use a move called “gotcha” which inflicts burn damage, but the opponent counters with a Lum Berry, mitigating the initial burn effect. Despite this, the player continues to inflict significant damage and gain advantageous positions. The opponent’s key Pokémon, Yan Mega, is defeated with a Shadow Ball after surviving a Bug Buzz. The player is nearly unkillable due to a combination of Calm Mind and Heat Proof ability, reducing damage from fire moves, and shifts their strategy to force the opponent’s Tyion to use less effective fire moves. They discuss the use of Tera Grass to negate Shadow Ball’s effectiveness, but still manage to whittle down Tyion through careful resource allocation. After multiple exchanges, including a critical hit from the opponent, the player’s Pokémon Sinister is eventually knocked out. The player plans to utilize their remaining sweepers to clean up the game, despite acknowledging the presence of additional threats in the opponent’s lineup, such as a heavily defensive Pokémon named Dipin.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses strategic switches and his decision to save his Pokémon, AMOM, for the late game as a win condition. He brings in Okie Doy against Diplan, aiming to reduce its bulk by removing its item, but forgets about Diplan’s sticky hold ability. Okie Doy survives Diplan’s attacks and manages to knock it out with a combination of Gunk Shot and Drain Punch, despite Diplan surviving longer than expected.
Next, the speaker faces a Gyarados, which he fears might use Dragon Dance but instead uses Earthquake. Okie Doy impressively survives at 5 HP, defeats Gyarados with another Gunk Shot, and sets up his final move against his opponent’s last Pokémon, a scarfed Tyion. Knowing Tyion is faster, he lets Okie Doy go down and brings in AMOM, whose fake out attack clinches the victory. The speaker wraps up the segment by acknowledging some luck and complimenting his opponent.
