This battle shows that not everyone is competitive in Pokémon, and while my opponent didn't have the most optimal moves, for example, Blizzard on Avalugg, which has a lower Special Attack stat, and Dig on Garchomp, most of the moves being what the Pokémon learns through level up. This player does remind me of my Pokémon Battle Revolution online battles, because I am sure there are some longtime viewers from back then, but for new viewers, back when I did Pokémon Battle Revolution many years ago, I was not familiar with competitive battling, and I had some unusual moves on most of my Pokémon, and I did use a Garchomp then which had Dig instead of Earthquake, and I even gave it Giga Impact, and this was before I realized the move was bad in online battles, and in many online battles later, I used a different Garchomp, and that one had better moves like Earthquake and Crunch, but I still went with Dragon Rush for my Dragon-type move instead of the more accurate Dragon Claw, and there were times where Dragon Rush missed at the most critical moment, and it costed me the battle.
I test out Lucario in this battle, and this was another Pokémon that I used back in Pokémon Battle Revolution when I used to do online battles in that game. My Lucario back then had both Dark Pulse and Shadow Ball, and when I realized how redundant the type coverage was, because both Dark Pulse and Shadow Ball were super effective against the exact same types, I swapped out Shadow Ball for Psychic for better type coverage. This Lucario has Vacuum Wave for priority, and I gave him Flash Cannon for a Steel-type move, and he has the Psychic Tera Type to power up his Psychic whenever I need the extra power.
As with my opponent's team, I don't like how his Meowscarada is nicknamed "Meow", it's just its name shortened, it could be understandable that my opponent nicknamed it before it was fully evolved and didn't know what its final evolution would be. I did see both Arctibax and Cetitan were not at Level 50, and I did like how my opponent had Altaria, which is rarely ever seen in online battles, but then again Avalugg is almost never seen online. There isn't really much type balance as there are three Ice-type Pokémon, three Dragon-type Pokémon, Arctibax having both of those types, and there are so many glaring weaknesses on my opponent's team, for example, Fighting, Rock, and Fairy are the types my opponent is the weakest to in types, Rock being the Ice-types and Altaria, Fighting being the Ice-types, and Fairy being the Dragon-types, and if you add in Meowscarada, which is weak to both Fighting and Fairy, there isn't really much balance to my opponent's team, but it is a good thing my opponent doesn't have any Pokémon that are weak to Ground, because back in my Pokémon Battle Revolution online battles, one of my earlier teams consisted of some of my favourite Pokémon from Generation 4, only to have about three or four Pokémon that were weak to Ground-type moves, this player does remind me of how I once used to be back then.
