Expected Outcomes:
40% - 6 turns (Dizzy works first try)

60% - 6-10 turns (Dizzy fails)

~17% - 6 turns (70% no heal, Dizzy works)
~25% - 9 turns (70% no heal, Dizzy fails)

~7% - 7 turns (30% to heal, 90% not to heal, Dizzy works)
~12% - 10 turns (30% to heal, 90% not to heal, Dizzy fails / 30% to heal, 10% to heal)

This strat isn't super flashy, but I enjoyed finding Dizzy Stomp to be useful, thinking that it was never really usable in strategies. It works to make this strat fast a decent percent of the time (around 63% to be 6-7 turns).

I also liked using Mega Shock; not seen in the video, but when it is used, it isn't needed to work for its status - it is just useful as a multi-target attack for identifying the correct Crystal King clone.

AI Note
-Crystal King has chances to heal depending on three ranges of HP values. 0% to heal at 39 or above, 10% to heal at 38 or below, 30% to heal at 27 or below, and 100% at 17 or below. Crystal King can heal twice.
