I used: Kilowattrel, Ceruledge, and Kingambit
My Opponent used: Flutter Mane, Dragonite, and Drifblim
Stadium: Cabo Poco
Battle BGM: The Academy Ace Tournament

I did go up against that player earlier, and I got swept by that Dragonite with the Normal Tera Type, in that match, my opponent led with Annihilape, which got Kilowattrel's HP down to 1 with the Focus Sash, as Annihilape had used Final Gambit, and then Dragonite had Extreme Speed to take out Kilowattrel, and my other two Pokémon were take down easily, let's see how different this match goes.
This time, my opponent leads with Flutter Mane, which did get banned in competitive battling, but as this game doesn't follow completitive battling rules, any Pokémon can be used, Flutter Mane has very high Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, and it learns a wide variety of moves, and with the Booster Energy to activate Protosynthesis, Flutter Mane can be really difficult to stop, its low HP and Defense is a drawback to it, and as I picked both Ceruledge and Kingambit, which both have priority moves, I can target Flutter Mane's lower Defense stat with those moves.
Going over my other two Pokémon, Ceruledge has a Covert Cloak, which is kind of like having Shield Dust where the Pokémon is not affected by secondary effects of moves, can be useful for preventing flinches. The moves I went with on Ceruledge were Bitter Blade for a healing move, Close Combat to deal with Rock, Dark, and Steel-type opponents, and Swords Dance to boost Attack, but the opportunity isn't that easy as Ceruledge isn't that defensive of a Pokémon to begin with, a notable set for Ceruledge is a Focus Sash with Weak Armor, but my Ceruledge has Flash Fire, and I already have the Focus Sash on Kilowattrel, and whenever I do online battles, I don't tend to have the same kind of item used on two or more Pokémon in battle.
Kingambit originally had Defiant, but I changed her Ability to Supreme Overlord, and I unfortunately got a female one, I wanted to use a male Kingambit for online battles, but the one that had 5 IVs in all stats except Special Attack was female, but I decided that I might as well use her. The reason why I wanted male was because every Bisharp I had competitively trained throughout the generations were male, and in a generation where Bisharp got an evolution, I got a female one, despite its name being Kingambit and having more masculine traits, not trying to discriminate Pokémon or anything, but at least my Kingambit is a reliable Pokémon in battle, and she's really good, not matter what her gender is.
I went with a Flying Tera Type on Kingambit, as this gives her a resistance to the Fighting-type moves that would take her out in one hits, while Ghost is a good alternative, I chose Flying to give her an immunity to Ground-type moves, like my opponent's Dragonite knowing Earthquake, and Low Kick is there to get past Dragonite's Normal Tera Type, I initially gave Low Kick to Kingambit as a way to deal with opposing Kingambit. Kowtow Cleave and Iron Head are her main moves, and Sucker Punch is there for priority, and I went with Supreme Overlord to give Kingambit a boost to her Attack whenever an ally is defeated in battle, but as online battles are 3 vs 3 battles, Kingambit can only get a 20% boost to her Attack and Special Attack instead of a 50% boost in 6 vs 6 battles.
I did like the strategy with my opponent's Drifblim, because you rarely ever see Drifblim used in online battles, or Single Battles even, because Drifblim is usually a Pokémon that is used more often in Double Battles, I did see my opponent had Brute Bonnet, which is another Pokémon that is better in Double Battles, and is very tricky to use in Single Battles, but my opponent didn't use Brute Bonnet, I would have liked to have seen what my opponent's strategy was with that thing.
