I used: Grafaiai, Slaking, Jumpluff, and Medicham
My Opponent used: Annihilape, Maushold, Flutter Mane, and Tyranitar
Stadium: Naranja/Uva Academy
Battle BGM: Nemona

I decided to get in one more battle with this team, and with my opponent's team, there is the combo of Annihilape and Maushold, which are usually in most Double Battle teams. The advantage to that team is Maushold having access to Beat Up, and it can use it on Annihilape to increase the power of its Rage Fist, Maushold does get some good utility moves like Follow Me and it has access to Friend Guard, being one of very few Pokémon to have that Ability. I did see my opponent had Lycanroc, but it wasn't used, but it was there as the teammate for Tyranitar.
This battle was where I tested out Grafaiai's Encore strategy, but I was not expecting her to be slower than Annihilape, and I had to Terastallize Slaking to the Ghost Tera Type as Annihilape was locked into Drain Punch during the battle. I put Jumpluff to the test again, and his role is usually to set up Tailwind to make sure Slaking outspeeds certain threats, because from seeing Pokémon like Flutter Mane on the opposing side, which is one of the fastest Pokémon that is ever used in Double Battles, or even in online battles, that can come into use.
I did in one battle come across a team that used both Lycanroc and Tyranitar, and I don't remember if I had Grafaiai in that one, that was because I wasn't sure if Doodle copied both Abilities or only one Pokémon, because that move does not work on a Pokémon that has Protosynthesis or Quark Drive, which the Paradox Pokémon have, and I wasn't sure how to make use of Grafaiai with all of the Paradox Pokémon being used very often in online battles, but I am able to find a use for her against certain opponents.
