Leizi is up first. Her job's to slow with her thunder attacks---Nuzzle first to slow down and paralyze, then Reflect to shore up her physical weakness, then Thunderbolts away. If Pryce happens to put rain on the field for his Water/Ice types, he'll switch to Thunder.
vs. Lapras
Kaiba sends Mokie in against Lapras, and his first move is Taunt. He doesn't want any part of that Perish Song nonsense. He follows up with Low Sweep to lower Lapras's speed, then launches into Brick Break, hoping that's enough.
vs. Mamoswine
Finally it's Zephyra's turn. Mamoswine can end her run with ground attacks, so her goal is to burn it all down as quickly as possible..so while he wouldn't ordinarily risk it, he'll absolutely use Flare Blitz. If she doesn't get it done, Mizuchi will switch in to try to wash it away with her favorite Rain Dance -> Surf combo.
It's Leizi up first again! She uses Nuzzle first to slow down and paralyze the Gyarados, puts up Reflect to deal with those scary Dark moves, and zaps with Thunderbolt. If she falls, Onimaru is in reserve to hit with Shadow Ball.
vs. Kingdra
Selene the Sylveon is next. Kaiba has a Kingdra of his own, and he knows how scary they can be when they set up in rain. He gambles on Kingdra having Swift Swim and and uses Skill Swap to steal it, then blasts away with Moonblast. If it's going well enough for him to spend a turn, he'll have her lay down a Misty Terrain to reduce Dragon damage for the next battle.
vs. Dragonite
The big one. Kaiba's chosen Kingyoku to finish the battle, and the Goodra is slow, but he resists Flying, takes normal damage from Dragon (hopefully reduced further with Misty Terrain), and...he has an Ice Beam for Dragonite's 4x weakness. King uses Shelter to bolster his physical defense, then blasts away.
