Now, I would like to share my highlights from both w1 & w2:
:toxapex:: Toxapex managed to hold the top place in usage throughout both weeks, being used 5 times in w1 and 4 times in w2 (tying with Gliscor and Landorus-T)! I don't remember any other tour with such a performance of The Pex. Well, this shouldn't really come as a big surprise: Toxapex's defensive utility is certainly unmatched. I think it is safe to say that Toxapex will be at least top3 in usage throughout the entire tour.
:gliscor:: with Toxapex keeping its rise, the best abuser of it - Gliscor - also does pretty well. Although it kinda underperformed in w1 with being used 3 times and having only a 33.33% winrate, Gliscor shined in w2 - it picked the top place in usage on par with Toxapex and Landorus-T and achieved a really nice 75% winrate! Gliscor will be a pretty consistent pick for the whole tour, that's for sure.
:greninja:: after being used 4 times in w1, obtaining the 2nd place in usage right behind Toxapex, somehow we've seen an impressive amount of Greninja in w2 - zero! By the way, there were 2 Battle Bond and 2 Protean Greninja in w1; all Battle Bond ones have lost, and all Protean ones have won. Not sure of how Greninja will do throughout the rest of the tour, but I don't really expect great things from Battle Bond to be honest.
:clefable:: Clefable has recommended itself as a really reliable pick, with picking the top5 of overall usage and a whopping 80% winrate. We have been seeing various sets - defensive, Calm Mind LO, LO 3 Attacks. By the way, Ice Beam Clefable from frisoeva's w2 team is a cool anti-Gliscor tech that has catched my eye. Maybe this move will become more popular as the tour goes on, but idk.
:ditto:: the purple blob also performs decently, continuing this trend from the latest SM OU tours. Its overall usage right now is equal to Clefable's - 5 times, and winrate is 60%, which is pretty good. Ditto still provides many teams with great tools against various matchups, and I don't think it is gonna drop soon.

I will also post a game analysis here!
Week 1 - [TIG] Eternal Spirit vs Gondra [RUI]
:tyranitar-mega::greninja-ash::heatran::landorus-therian::tangrowth::toxapex: - on the Eternal Spirit's side, there is a solid bulky offensive/balanced squad which revolves around taking down defensive structures with the breaking core of Mega Tyranitar and Z-Move Heatran, the exact set of which wasn't revealed, for Ash-Greninja. The Regenerator core of Toxapex and Tangrowth forms the backbone of this team, and Choice Scarf Landorus-T glues the squad together.
:kartana::excadrill::toxapex::tyranitar-mega::zapdos::clefable: - Gondra brought another formidable approach to Mega Tyranitar - the Excadrill Sand. The classic SM Sand core is mixed with some intriguing techs - Toxic on Excadrill enables it to cripple its usual answers like Tangrowth and Rotom-W, Electrium Z Zapdos provides the team with an instant one-time nuke against defensive powerhouses like Toxapex and Celesteela, and Adrenaline Orb Kartana is an unorthodox set which can combine the sheer power of SD sets and the sweeping potential of Choice Scarf. Toxapex and Clefable round out this team with a solid defensive structure.

Looking at the matchup, Gondra has an edge over Eternal Spirit: Gondra's team boasts just enough tools to both pave the way for Excadrill and counteract the main Eternal Spirit's cleaner in Ash-Greninja, although a carefully played Tangrowth might seem problematic for Gondra, and Mega Tyranitar definitely has the potential to break quite a hole in Gondra's squad.

The battle starts with Eternal Spirit sending Tangrowth and Gondra sending Clefable. On the Turn 1 Gondra gets Stealth Rock up on the Eternal Spirit's field at the cost of Clefable's Leftovers getting Knocked Off. After a couple turns, Eternal Spirit brings their Toxapex in and starts Toxic Spikes stacking, resulting in zero progress and a paralyzed by Gondra's Clefable Toxapex. Then, Eternal Spirit's Toxapex gets weakened by Zapdos, and after two turns, Gondra's Excadrill lands an unexpected Toxic on Tangrowth but gets hit by Earthquake and reveals its Leftovers. On the next turn Gondra manages to position their Zapdos against Eternal Spirit's Toxapex and nails it with a Gigavolt Havoc.

Eternal Spirit uses Gondra's Zapdos as a free opportunity to bring its Mega Tyranitar in and start ripping holes. Before Mega Tyranitar dies from Toxic from the opposing Toxapex and Gondra's own Mega Tyranitar finishing it, Eternal Spirit's Mega Tyranitar gets their own Stealth Rock up and severely weakens Gondra's Toxapex with the help of some luck, almost killing their only Water resist and obtaining a great chance to transform Ash-Greninja by spamming Hydro Pump.

Before Eternal Spirit's Ash-Greninja transformed, Toxapex almost died to its Hydro Pump but Gondra makes a right play in saving it and sacrificing their Clefable instead. Later, the saved Toxapex will prevent Eternal Spirit from just finishing Gondra with Ash-Greninja's Water Shuriken.

Right after Eternal Spirit's Ash-Greninja transforms, Gondra successfully bluffs its Kartana to be Choice Scarf and forces Ash-Greninja out. After Eternal Spirit switches their Landorus-T in, Gondra's Kartana reveals to be an SD + Adrenaline Orb variant and gets +1 Attack and +1 Speed in one turn. Then, Kartana destroys Landorus-T and Tangrowth, though the latter strikes it once and enables Ash-Greninja to revenge kill Kartana with Water Shuriken.

Gondra abuses Ash-Greninja locked onto Water Shuriken to Recover off their Toxapex. Within a few turns, Eternal Spirit manages to position Ash-Greninja favorably again, firing off Hydro Pump and annihilating Zapdos. Then, Gondra tries to catch Eternal Spirit's Heatran on a double switch with their Mega Tyranitar via forcing out locked Ash-Greninja with Toxapex, but Eternal Spirit stays with Ash-Greninja on the field and destroys Mega Tyranitar with Hydro Pump. Sand is up, however, and Gondra ends the game with a couple Earthquakes from Excadrill.

:toxapex::gliscor:: the most used Pokémon of first two weeks, Toxapex, has shown up only once this week and lost! The similar case is with Gliscor, which wasn't used this week at all. This greatly showcases how w3 was considerably more offensive than the first two. I am pretty sure these two will rise again sometime though.
:kyurem-black:: as a countermeasure to popular fat teams with defensive threats like the aforementioned Toxapex and Gliscor, Kyurem-B slowly but consistently was picking up some steam throughout these three weeks, being used 0 times w1, 1 time w2, and 2 times w3.

Game Analysis
Week 3 - [WOL] Welli0u vs Posho [RAI]
:latias-mega::clefable::ferrothorn::rotom-wash::landorus-therian::heatran: - Welli0u brought a solid balance with Life Orb Clefable - a dangerous wallbreaker with some valuable defensive utility, most notably filling the place of a reliable Dark resist in this squad. Heatran and Rotom-W, which is most likely a bulkier Z-Move variant, deal with Clefable's defensive checks, helping it wreak havoc easier. All these three Pokémon also contribute to the team's defensive capabilities, further strengthened by Ferrothorn and Mega Latias. Finally, Choice Scarf Landorus-T completes this team.
:tapu koko::kyurem-black::heatran::landorus-therian::scizor-mega::toxapex: - on the other side, Posho's team features the old good core of Tapu Koko + Kyurem-B: Tapu Koko here runs Electrium Z and Toxic, which is a cool option to cripple Tapu Koko's best switch-ins like Mega Latias and Gastrodon, while Kyurem-B uses the mixed Life Orb set, as the Z-Move slot is already fulfilled. This core is aimed to break down Mega Scizor's defensive answers and enable it to clean up. Mega Scizor also forms the defensive core of the squad together with Heatran and Toxapex, and Choice Scarf Landorus-T, as usual, glues the team up.

Posho's squad boasts enough means of offensively pressuring and making progress against Welli0u, with the main threat being Kyurem-B for sure. Together with Tapu Koko, it can blast through Mega Scizor's answers, namely Heatran, Rotom-W, and to a less extent Ferrothorn, and allow it to clean up with Bullet Punch. However, Welli0u's team contains an unexpected tech which will come in handy against Mega Scizor. As for the progress-making potential of Welli0u in this matchup, Clefable - the main breaker of their team - is met by heavy resistance in Heatran, Mega Scizor, and strong offensive pressure. However, Rotom-W is generally good at beating many of Clefable's answers Posho has got, and further support from Mega Latias and Landorus-T will potentially let Clefable go wild if played carefully and correctly.

The battle starts from Landorus-T leading on Welli0u's side and Tapu Koko leading on Posho's side. After some turns of VoltTurn pivoting from both players, Welli0u manages to Knock Off Leftovers from Posho's Heatran, making it way easier for Clefable to overwhelm it throughout the battle. Then, Posho gets their Stealth Rock up and chips down Rotom-W, which, however, somewhat heals on Posho's Toxapex with Pain Split. This chip still might be useful for paving a way to Mega Scizor's clean up with Bullet Punch.

Soon, Posho gets their Kyurem-B in on the field and starts crushing Welli0u's backbone: before Kyurem-B dies, it takes out Ferrothorn and significantly weakens Rotom-W and Clefable, further contributing to late-game Mega Scizor. I think, however, Posho gave up their Kyurem-B too early, as it could have weakened Heatran and heavily worn down the rest of Welli0u's team for Mega Scizor later.

Literally after Kyurem-B went down, Posho revealed Toxic on Tapu Koko: after switching Latias into Tapu Koko, Welli0u most likely tried to catch Posho's Scizor on a double switch into Heatran, but Posho has stayed in and unsuccessfully used Toxic. Just next turn, however, Tapu Koko deals a ton of damage to Welli0u's Heatran, which sets up Stealth Rock, with Gigavolt Havoc. Welli0u's team becomes almost ready to fall prey to Mega Scizor.

After some pivoting, Posho finally gets their Mega Scizor in for free on a Recover from Mega Latias. Mega Scizor almost kills Welli0u's Heatran, but soon enough gets their Tapu Koko killed by Landorus-T. Posho uses this free switch as an opportunity to bring Mega Scizor in, but immediately switches it out and soon brings it again on Welli0u's Landorus-T.

This is where Mega Scizor is taken out by a huge surprise: as it Roosts, Welli0u's Landorus-T throws a Hidden Power Fire into it. Posho hopes to kill Landorus-T with Bullet Punch but fails to do it, gets an unfortunate roll on Hidden Power Fire, and says farewell to Mega Scizor. Saving it definitely would be a right decision here, however, as staying in was really risky anyway, and having Mega Scizor alive would allow Posho to create another potential clean-up situation by chipping down Welli0u's team further with careful plays.

Posho tries to do something with Landorus-T and Heatran, but Mega Latias easily stops both of them, and Welli0u still has a Life Orb Clefable and Rotom-W in the back, both of which are capable of offensively dealing with Posho too. With Landorus-T, paralyzed Heatran, and Toxapex remaining, chances for Posho on winning here are extremely slim, and they forfeit, ending this battle.

My own highlight here definitely would be blunder vs Gondra: Gondra had quickly became one of my favorite players in this tour, and I am very excited to see how he will handle such a strong opponent - blunder, and his powerful and sometimes even crazy (hello w3 sun) offenses.

By the way, one of the winners was Battle Bond, another winning Greninja wasn't used at all in the battle lol (though it's pretty much surely Battle Bond too), and the only loser-Greninja was Protean with a suicide lead set.
:magearna:: after relatively bad performance throughout past three weeks, Magearna managed to obtain similar usage and winrate as Greninja this week. All three Magearna sets were different, too: we've seen Assault Vest, Shift Gear, and a Wiki Berry set, which, I assume, is a CM + Pain Split one.


Overall, w4 continued w3's offensive tendency, which is reflected well by the increased usage of stuff like Greninja, Kartana, Magearna, and Victini, and brought us many fast and some crazy teams. I wonder if w5 will keep up such a high pace or come back to a bulky state of w1 & w2.
Unfortunately, w4 hasn't given any battle that I would have loved to analyze, so I will leave a short highlight on each battle instead:
  • Welli0u vs Relous: Seismitoad appears for the first time on the tour and fulfills some crucial niches on Relous's team.
  • blunder vs Gondra: blunder brings Sun yet again, and Gondra meets it with a Rain. Are we in BW era of weather wars???
  • Trosko vs Leo: two really similar teams, and this time the only ones featuring Toxapex and Gliscor - first two weeks titans.
  • ima vs Eternal Spirit: non-Mega Latias (pretty surely Choice Scarf) from ima and wack hyper offense from Eternal Spirit. :psyduck::psyduck:
  • Updated Kanto vs frisoeva: SubEndeavor Mega Diancie from Updated Kanto, I can't remember any such Mega Diancie in recent tours. Also Gyarados which is pretty much dead in the meta.

Highlights
:toxapex:: The Pex is in business again! After relatively bad performance w3-4, Toxapex has finally peaked the 2nd place in usage, appearing 4 times and winning 2 of them. Looks like we are going back to a bulkier state of the meta.
:kommo-o:: Kommo-o managed to tie with Toxapex in usage and winrate this week! We've seen a wide variety of sets too: defensive Stealth Rock, Dragon Dance, and most likely a mixed Clangorous Soublaze set that frisoeva has not fully shown. Tamahome hasn't revealed their Kommo-o's set at all too.


Game Analysis
Week 5 - [RUI] Gondra vs Welli0u [WOL]
:lopunny-mega::skarmory::reuniclus::chansey::gliscor::toxapex: - Gondra brought a semistall that was somewhat popular during OLT. Calm Mind Reuniclus is supported by hazards from Chansey and bad celesteela Skarmory, while Gliscor and Toxapex complete the defensive part of the team. Mega Lopunny here benefits from hazards too and provides the team with a good anti-offense measure. Thunder is a rather suboptimal move choice on Reuniclus, in my opinion, but Gondra's Reuniclus actually runs it here. I wonder why.

:ditto::ferrothorn::gliscor::scizor-mega::toxapex::tapu koko: - Welli0u used a team with pretty similar spirit. Ferrothorn compresses both Stealth Rock and Spikes in its moveset and supports Swords Dance Gliscor with them. Mega Scizor and Toxapex further strengthen the squad's defensive capabilities. Ditto provides this team with a method to stop rampaging setup sweepers and also helps in PP war vs stall. Finally, Tapu Koko adds some offenive pressure to this team's arsenal. There are some unusual and interesting things too: Payapa Berry Toxapex is a cool tech against Mega Medicham, and Toxapex is also Speed crept for Reuniclus, while Mega Scizor runs the rare Defog set. Ice Fang Gliscor is bad btw.

Gondra's squad packs sufficient amount of defensive counterplay to Welli0u's main offensive options in Tapu Koko and Swords Dance Gliscor while being able to pull off a sweep with Reuniclus. Mega Lopunny coupled with hazards is also a great pressuring tool in Gondra's disposal here. However, Reuniclus is annoyed by Mega Scizor and crept Toxapex, and Welli0u can actually sweep with Swords Dance Gliscor too if takes Skarmory out, which is difficult here.

So, the battle starts from Gondra leading with Lopunny and Welli0u leading with Tapu Koko. Welli0u reveals that Toxapex lacks Black Sludge next turn, since he sents The Pex out to eat Mega Lopunny's Fake Out. Then Gondra gets an opportunity to bring Reuniclus in and strikes Toxapex with Thunder which unfortunately misses. Aware of this move now, Welli0u abuses Reuniclus as a chance to get his Stealth Rock up with Ferrothorn. Both sides trade with Spikes shortly after that but Gondra Defogs the entire field with his Gliscor soon.

Some turns after that Welli0u gets an opportunity to Roost off his Mega Scizor on Gondra's Skarmory, which starts Spike stacking. Mega Scizor Defogs them off, though. This doesn't stop Gondra, and on his next Spike Welli0u brings Tapu Koko in. Gondra acts pretty ricky staying in, probably trying to scout out Tapu Koko's potential Choice lock and Roost the damage from it out, but instead of it eats a U-turn.

After this U-turn Welli0u sends Ferrothorn out and starts trading hazards with Gondra, who also sets Stealth Rock up with his Chansey. Welli0u gets Gliscor in soon and proceeds to Swords Dance up but gets Whirlwinded out by Skarmory into Toxapex. Gondra tries to abuse Toxapex with Reuniclus but Welli0u doubles into Mega Scizor, Defogging away all the hazards and avoiding Reuniclus's Thunder.

Within a few turns Welli0u manages to position his Tapu Koko against Skarmory by luring it out with Gliscor, but then lands a Thunderbolt onto Gondra's own Gliscor. Welli0u U-turns out into Mega Scizor to get rid of Spikes but becomes forced to Roost instead. Gondra takes advantage of this Roost and goes into his Skarmory in order to continue the pressure with hazards.

Soon enough, both sides trade hazards again. Gondra gets his Mega Lopunny in on Welli0u's Gliscor, which gets immediatly switched into Toxapex. Mega Lopunny hits Toxapex with Return and puts it into the KO range of the second Return. However, Gondra switches Mega Lopunny out, probably because of the threat of potential Baneful Bunker. Welli0u swaps out his Toxapex too and gets an opportunity to Defog the field off.

Gondra gets Stealth Rock again soon in a few turns and grants Welli0u's Gliscor a setup opportunity. Gondra faces Gliscor with Skarmory and manages to Spike up on it. Next 10+ turns contain Gondra's attempts to cheese out Welli0u's paralyzed Mega Scizor with Seismic Toss and haxes. This burns a huge chunk of Roost PPs out.

Welli0u manages to successfully double his Tapu Koko into Gondra's Skarmory, trying to generate and keep up pressure on Gondra. This results in Welli0u obtaining a great position to throw hazards on Gondra's side, although they get Defogged off anyway.

After exchanging Stealth Rock again rather soon, Gondra's Reuniclus faces Welli0u's Gliscor. Almost starting a setup war, Gondra goes into his Skarmory soon and puts Spikes on Welli0u's side, who does the same thing with Ferrothorn. This enables Reuniclus to get into the field for free and start setting up again. This is where Welli0u's Toxapex reveals its Speed creep and Payapa Berry but switches out into Gliscor soon, as Reuniclus sets up again. Gondra forces the opposing Gliscor to use Roost and smacks it with Shattered Psyche, leaving Welli0u without a real wincon.

This enables Mega Scizor in, and shortly after coming on the field it finds a chance to Defog away hazards. Welli0u starts stacking his own hazards again, which don't stay on the field long. After Defogging, Gondra manages to Knock Off Welii0u's Ditto, enabling it to switch between moves. Ditto transformed to Gliscor starts handling Skarmory's hazards but Gondra sends out Mega Lopunny straight into Gliscor-Ditto's Earthquake soon. Mega Lopunny pushes the opposing switch-in Toxapex to the point of necessary Recover, and Gondra gets his Stealth Rock up again, as does Welli0u soon too.

Again, Gondra's Mega Lopunny switches into the field but mispredicts and strikes Toxapex instead of Ferrothorn with High Jump Kick. mega Lopunny still keeps up a constant preesure on Toxapex, however, forcing it to Recover multiple times. Gondra abuses Toxapex to get in his Reuniclus yet again. Welli0u tries to take advantage of Reuniclus with Ferrothorn and fully stacks Gondra's field with hazards at the cost of having to deal with a +4 Reuniclus. Reuniclus weakens and paralyzes Ferrothorn and kills Ditto before Toxapex Hazes away its boosts. It gest paralyzed by Thunder, however, meaning that Toxapex is not able to stop Reuniclus anymore. Welli0u's last chance to get rid of Reuniclus is to kill it with Tapu Koko and paralyzed Mega Scizor. After failing to do so, Welli0u forfeits, finishing the battle between two undefeated players.

Highlights
:tapu fini:: this time we've seen an enormous, comparing to all the past weeks, amount of Tapu Fini. I assume the performance of Kommo-o last week somewhat affected this, as well as rather decent performance of Heatran throughout all tour.
:serperior:: Serperior has tied with Tapu Fini this week, although picked only one win. There was a huge variety in Serperior's sets: SubSeedGlare, Rocky Helmet of OLT time, and even Choice Scarf. One set wasn't revealed fully but looks like it was a traditional SubGlare.
:medicham-mega:: as a very strong tool against pretty common fatter builds, Mega Medicham got a spike in usage this week and ended up with a positive winrate. For some unknown to me reason people kinda tend to drop Ice Punch in favor of Bullet Punch rn.


Game Analysis
Week 6 - [SHA] frisoeva vs Relous [CLA]
:kartana::chansey::gliscor::reuniclus::ditto::scizor-mega: - frisoeva brought some solid Mega Scizor semistall which revolves around Swodrs Dance Mega Scizor and Reuniclus abusing each other's check and seeking an opportunity to set up and sweep. Together with these two, Defog Gliscor and Chansey provide this squad with a solid defensive backbone. Grassium Z Kartana, which is a bulkier Synthesis variant I'm sure, grants some immediate offensive pressure, and Ditto glues the team up, allowing the team to severely counteract to dangerous breakers and sweepers.
:medicham-mega::weavile::serperior::landorus-therian::magearna::rotom-wash: - Relous, on the other hand, went with an aggressive VoltTurn team around kinda ORAS-esque core of Mega Medicham and Weavile. Rocky Helmet Serperior provides some notable utility in Glare and Water resist. The classic VoltTurn core of defensive Landorus-T, Assault Vest or SpDef Pain Split Magearna, and Z-Move Rotom-W completes the team.


Mega Medicham is an immense threat to semistalls by its definition, so Relous does have a strong progress-making tool. frisoeva's Reuniclus is a hard stop to it, however, but that's where Weavile comes into play: it can remove Reuniclus easily enough if played smartly, opening a way to destroy everything for Mega Medicham. But there is another huge threat for Relous on frisoeva's side - Ditto. If it transforms to Mega Medicham, it will always grab a kill or two due to Relous's lack of Mega Medicham switch-in, something that is a problem for almost all VoltTurns. Relous's inability to reliably revenge kill Ditto-Mega Medicham because of a faster Choice Scarf user's absense further worsens the situation.

Starting off the actual battle, frisoeva goes with Ditto in order to obtain some information about Relous, while Relous goes with Landorus-T to get Stealth Rock up early. frisoeva immediately disposes of them with Defog Gliscor and lures in Relous's Rotom-W. Knowing that Volt Switch is coming, frisoeva decides to hit Rotom-W with Knock Off and reveals that it is a Z-Move set.

Absorbing Rotom-W's second Volt Switch with Chansey opens up a precious opportunity to get Mega Medicham in for Relous, and this forces frisoeva to react with Reuniclus. Needing a turn to Recover off damage from Mega Medicham's insanely powerful Hugh Jump Kick, frisoeva invites in Relous's Weavile, which does not Pursuit it but rather opts for a midground option in Knock Off. The attack lands on Scizor, which Mega Evolves and Roosts off the Damage as Landorus-T comes in.

frisoeva attemps to soften up Relous a bit by setting up their Mega Scizor on predicted Landorus-T's Stealth Rock but gets punished with Hidden Power Fire and drops from Superpower. Relous gets in their Serperior on Mega Scizor's Roost and significantly weakens it with Hidden Power Fire and Rocky Helmet damage too. Wanting to preserve Mega Scizor, frisoeva goes into Chansey and also obtains a chance to get Stealth Rock up when Magearna switches in.

Relous brings their Mega Medicham again via Magearna's Volt Switch and throws High Jump Kick into incoming Reuniclus. frisoeva gives Weavile a free switch again too but gets their Reuniclus Pursuit trapped and almost killed, leaving themselves without any defensive countermeasure to the monster that Mega Medicham is.

frisoeva uses this as an opportunity to weaken Relous's team with Kartana, which knocks out Landorus-T with Knock Off followed by Bloom Doom. Relous gets their Serperior on the field in orded to lure out Chansey and provide Mega Medicham with a free switch via a successful double switch. frisoeva sacks the dead Reuniclus and gets Ditto into Mega Medicham, and that's where the game state turns into frisoeva's favor.

Capitalizing on the fact that nothing in Relous's squad survives a High Jump Kick and nothing outpaces Ditto-Mega Medicham, frisoeva abuses any free switch into Mega Medicham with Ditto in order to get a guaranteed kill. Relous's only response to this is constantly sacrificing one Pokemon and bringing their own Mega Medicham on the field in orded to revenge kill it with Fake Out and Bullet Punch. Before starting the trade game, frisoeva manages to clear the field off with Gliscor so Ditto can come in unlimited amounts of times. frisoeva also gets Stealth Rock up too to ensure that absolutely nothing survives Ditto-Mega Medicham's attacks.

After some trades, Relous decides not to switch their own Mega Medicham out of transformed Ditto and instead strikes it with Bullet Punch, hoping to kill Ditto-Mega Medicham. After failing to do so, however, Relous's only hope would be throwing Weavile's Ice Shard into Ditto-Mega Medicham, and it's really unclear to me why Relous hasn't opted for this. frisoeva's transformed Ditto ends the battle with some High Jump Kicks.
