I used: Jumpluff, Medicham, Slaking, and Scream Tail
My Opponent used: Olive Garden (Arboliva), Close Combat (Iron Valiant), MotherTeresa (Oranguru), and Sally (Salamence)
Stadium: Cabo Poco
Battle BGM: Nemona 2

I see that my opponent has a full Shiny Pokémon team, and all of them are nicknamed, and while there were three Paradox Pokémon on the team, only Iron Valiant was used. This team does make use of Trick Room from Oranguru, as my opponent did have Arboliva which is one of the slowest Pokémon on my opponent's team, but then again there was both Iron Valiant and Iron Bundle, both of which have very high Speed, and while not best for Trick Room, they tend to be used as finishers. For some reason, this Salamence didn't have Intimidate, it would have activated the moment it was sent out to battle, Intimidate is a good Ability in Double Battles, and not many players tend to go with Moxie on Salamence in a Double Battle.
This is where I test out another team member, Jumpluff in this case, he has Tailwind to give the team a boost in Speed, and as this team is about making Slaking attack without being held back by Truant, Tailwind does help Slaking with outspeeding certain opponents, and for moves, Rage Powder has Jumpluff draw in moves to him, but as my opponent had Arboliva, a Grass-type Pokémon, its moves cannot be drawn in by Rage Powder. As I have explained in some of my online battles for this game, as well as in Sword & Shield, for Pokémon that are usually support based and don't have the best attacking stats, I like to have at least one damage dealing move, the move I went with is Pollen Puff, while it deals damage to the opponent, when used on an ally, it will heal them, Jumpluff is there to heal up Slaking whenever he needs to. Because my opponent uses a Trick Room based team, but I was surprised that out of the Pokémon to set up Trick Room, Iron Valiant is the one to do it, and if you are wondering about the future Paradox Pokémon Shiny colours, they don't look that normal, because they use a silver coloration instead of using their actual Shiny coloration, because Shiny Gallade is blue instead of green, the same can be said about Shiny Gardevoir, it took me a really long time to realize that the dress-like part of Iron Valiant is where the Gardevoir resemblance comes in, because I always saw Iron Valiant as a Paradox variant of Gallade, it does at least have that blade which it uses as a weapon, which is one reason why Iron Valiant is my favourite Paradox Pokémon.
