Copperhead vs Yamato Guardians

VS

https://wikizilla.org/wiki/Baragon
https://wikizilla.org/wiki/Mothra/GMK
https://wikizilla.org/wiki/King_Ghidorah/GMK#Ghidorah

Rules: Standard Heisei Scaling; If Mothra dies, Ghidorah will turn into King Ghidorah; If Baragon dies, King Ghidorah will gain his gravity beams.

Battleground: Clayton, Australia.

Verdict: Baragon is gonna be the first to die, as he has nothing but his jaws and claws to work with, and Copperhead is a brutal expert in melee. Mothra has her stingers... ... ...and that's it. Given her durability to tank GMK Godzilla's atomic breath the first time around (before dying the second time she was shot), she might last a fair amount of time when Copperhead tackles her to the ground and beats into her, but not long enough to find a way to stop the Breach Daikaiju from tearing her apart. Then there's Ghidorah, who actually has energy weapons to back himself up. His Thunder Spark Bite will definitely give Copperhead a world of hurt and he himself is a decent melee fighter--but nowhere near as ferocious as Copperhead. Now, when he is reborn as King Ghidorah is where things start to look up in the hydra's favor, as it is really a matter of whether or not Copperhead can withstand Ghidorah's shield or his gravity beams.

Abstaining for now; leaning ever so slightly towards the Yamato Guardians solely due to King Ghidorah.

Copperhead has this, and mostly it is thanks to one very minute yet important detail: Ghidorah is going to charge in head first and get dunked on. The other two Yamato Guardians employ hit and run tactics: Baragon digs down, creates pitfalls, then leaps at the foe again and again, while Mothra does flybys. Ghidorah... Just runs right in and brawls, and that will land him a very quick death by Copperhead, which means the wim condition for Mothra and Baragon is dead, and means they are all completely screwed. This is plainly evident even in the movie proper, where the only thing that kept Ghidorah from dying round 1 was the military intervening. Otherwise, Ghidorah would have died, and Mothra would be left alone with zero hope of victory. That is the problem with this "totem pole/voltron" approach: Ghidorah's stype of fighting renders the whole approach moot.

If King Ghidorah showed up the Yamato Guardians would win, but Ghidorah charging in head-first is going to ruin that quickly. Yeah, his electric bite will be rough on Copperhead for sure, but it’s the only thing they have that will actually harm Copperhead, which means he can easily break free and rip Ghidorah apart.

The Guardian’s only chance of winning is King Ghidorah, which might not happen since Ghidorah likes fi charge head first into danger to use his electric bites. Baragon might be able to save Ghidorah if he can somehow drop Copperhead into a pit after it headbutt a Ghidorah across the land, but I doubt that Mothra or Baragon have the piercing power to get through his scales so really, their only hope lies in the Gravity Beams and the Shield Energy Blast thing by somehow trying to keep Copperhead and Ghidorah away from each other. Which is going to be hard since I’m pretty sure Copperhead could just do what he did to Atlas Destroyer and grab one of Ghidorah’s heads, and twist his entire body to rip that thing right off.
