I used: Palafin, Iron Moth, Bisharp, and Arboliva
My Opponent used: Orthworm, Chomp Chomp (Farigiraf), Baby Pumi (Hisuian Zoroark), and Kingambit
Stadium: Mesagoza
Battle BGM: Director Clavell

This is a new stadium that was added to online battles, and it takes place in the center of Mesagoza, I do like how they are adding new stadiums in updates, and this is the only one that I have seen so far.
My opponent has a full team of Shiny Pokémon, and I did see he had some really interesting Pokémon on his team, like Orthworm and Farigiraf, I have seen some good Farigiraf usage in Double Battles in Trick Room teams, and Orthworm is decent as it does get an immunity to Earthquake. I did see my opponent had Hisuian Zoroark on the team, and if you are wondering how to get one, if you download the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC, The Hidden Treasures of Area Zero, you will get a code that gives you a Hisuian Zoroark. To go over it, Hisuian Zoroark is a Normal/Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, because that was the game that introduced Hisuian Forms, it has a signature move called Bitter Malice, it is a 75 Power Special Ghost-type move that lowers the target's Attack stat, making it quite useful in Double Battles, what Bitter Malice did in Pokémon Legends: Arceus was that it had a chance of inflicting frostbite onto the target, and if the opponent was inflicted with a status condition, its power would double, but as frostbite is not a status condition in this game, it instead lowers the target's Attack stat.
I do put my team to good use in the battle, including switching Bisharp in when using Sludge Wave with Iron Moth, because I wasn't sure if the Orthworm was really Hisuian Zoroark, because the downside to using a Zoroark is that while its Illusion Ability can be used to trick opponents, Team Preview kind of ruins its viability, because you know your opponent has a Zoroark, taking away the surprise of its Ability. I went with a Ghost Tera Type on Bisharp to give it an immunity to Fighting-type move, and the main reason why I went with Bisharp instead of Kingambit was beause with a new evolution, Bisharp can make use of Eviolite, which is a good improvement as it does allow Bisharp to take hits better than it used to, as it had to hold a Focus Sash to at least survive an attack.
