Here is our online battle where I am up against a bunch of underused Pokémon, don't know if it is even a competitively trained team or a team with some random Pokémon, but my opponent did have an interesting strategy with Masquerain.
While I do like Masquerain as a Pokémon, and how it learns a wide variety of moves, like Ice Beam, Hydro Pump, and Quiver Dance, this one had Sticky Web, the only way for Masquerain to know that move is at Level 38 as a Surskit, this is one thing I don't like about this game, and that is how if you evolve a Pokémon right away, they miss out on certain moves, that is a step back from the change in Sword & Shield where every move that Pokémon's pre-evolved form learns would be learned by the evolved form, and that was one thing I really appreciated in that game, and now they removed it for some Pokémon.
I did see my opponent had Sprigatito, don't know why that thing isn't even evolved yet, or if my opponent has some kind of strategy with it, because I do remember watching some Pokémon Battle Revolution online battles where players even bring unevolved Pokémon into online battles and do very well with them, unless my opponent prefers it over Meowscarada, because I know there are some that prefer the Pokémon in its unevolved form compared to their evolved form. The only strategy I could see with Sprigatito would be using Leech Seed or Taunt, while having Sucker Punch for priority, if that thing was a Floragato, then it would make a decent Eviolite user, because it does have respectable Speed, but nowhere as high as some of the top threats, I am sure there will be a time where I use an Eviolite Floragato at some point, because I have used some middle stage Pokémon in online battles with the Eviolite to see how they worked.
When I saw my opponent's set with Slowbro, this looked like one that would be used in a Tera Raid, and as I was against an inexperienced opponent, I wouldn't say my opponent is the most experienced player, I usually try not to go too hard on my opponent, sometimes I like to give them a chance to see what they can do with those underused Pokémon, with the exception of Dragonite, which is one of the top used Pokémon in online battles.
I did change the music settings to the Gym Leader battle theme, and while it is like a medley of songs, starting with the Gym Theme, then moving onto the battle theme, and going through each of the stages till the part where the Gym Leader Terastallizes their Pokémon, which loops throughout the battle, so it is not like Sword & Shield where the song is based on how many Pokémon your opponent has left.
