Battle BGM: Western Pokémon

The team that I test out makes use of ways to make use of moves like Sticky Web and giving ways for Pokémon that don't normally have a high enough Speed stat to get through faster opponents. The lead of the team is Spidops, I had to find one way to use the Pokémon with the lowest base stat total out of every fully evolved Generation 9 Pokémon, and the strategy is to use Sticky Web and Circle Throw, I have Pounce on Spidops to try and lower the target's Speed before he faints and then I send in my other Pokémon to attack first. Sucker Punch is there for priority, and as I have two Pokémon that are in the Uber tier, I had to use Spidops on that team as a way to balance it out without making it too overpowered.
Like with Pokémon Sword & Shield, I did state that I can only have up to two Legendary Pokémon per team, but as Chi-Yu is in the Uber tier, if that Legendary Pokémon is in the Uber tier, it is the only one I can have, and the rest of the team have to be Pokémon that don't see common use, Spidops is the best example of a Pokémon that isn't used that often, as it has a very low base stat total for a fully evolved Pokémon. Espathra is also in the Uber tier, but I tend to see it as a UU Pokémon in terms of stats, I get it's because of how broken Speed Boost and Stored Power is, and Espathra can use Calm Mind once and after Speed Boost activates, Stored Power deals massive damage, and it does start to add up after each turn.
As for their moves, I didn't want to go with Stored Power as I didn't want to make the team too overpowered, Chi-Yu is enough as it is, and I chose Lumina Crash on Espathra to lower the target's Special Defense, and I gave him Tera Blast, and he has a Fighting Tera Type as a way to deal with Dark-type opponents, Roost is there to heal up, and Calm Mind to boost his Special Attack and Special Defense. With Chi-Yu, I went with a Choice Specs set with Flamethrower and Dark Pulse for STAB moves, Overheat for a full power attack with its Fire Tera Type, and Psychic to deal with Fighting-type opponents.
Not much to go over with my opponent's team, although I did see both Cinderace and Samurott on the team, but neither were used, and for some reason the Annihilape didn't have Defiant, but it did make use of Bulk Up to withstand Physical Attacks better and power up Rage Fist, and I found it strange that Breloom didn't have a nickname, while Baxcalibur and Annihilape did.
