4) You have a +1 Attack and Speed Kingdra and a Choice scarf flygon comes in as you get that first dragon dance up. You have a weavile (life orb with ice shard and night slash) at the back and your opponent has a starmie as last Pokemon revealed. How do you proceed?

5) Tyranitar switches in to your Breloom (doesnt have a substitute up) after you dispose of a Blissey and reveal that you are a slow focus punch set? What can you expect and what is the best option here (no specific team you have...just say whether you'd switch into a certain mon / stay in / do something else ..etc)?
