I used: Iron Bundle, Tinkaton, Ceruledge, and Ting-Lu
My Opponent used: Gastrodon, Iron Bundle, Gardevoir, and Walking Wake
Stadium: Naranja/Uva Academy
Battle BGM: Star Barrage

Not sure if my opponent is a competitive player or not, but I did see that there was three Paradox Pokémon on the team, and two of which were used against me, and I did see that my opponent had a Level 49 Iron Treads while the rest of the team was at level 50.
Another thing about my opponent was that three Pokémon on that team are Water-type Pokémon, and all three were used in this battle, but I do like how their types cancel out different weaknesses, like Gastrodon being part Ground-type to give it an immunity to Electric-type moves, and Walking Wake being part Dragon-type, making Electric and Grass-type moves deal neutral damage to it, and there is Iron Bundle being part Ice-type, it's not there for defensive typing, because Ice is not a good type defensively, it's there to take on Grass-type opponnets.
I led with my own Iron Bundle, as I did see that most of my opponent's team were weak to Ice, or well, Freeze-Dry, as both Gastrodon and Walking Wake are 4x weak to that move, but as my opponent wasn't the most experienced player I have gone up against, I usually like to pick different moves to give them a chance to battle. I did bring in Tinkaton for this one, as I did see she has good match-ups for this battle, like my opponent's Gardevoir being one example.
I test out two team members, one is a Pokémon that I have used on a previous team, and another is a Legendary Pokémon, and you might be wondering, while I only allow one Paradox Pokémon per team, I can use a Paradox Pokémon and a Legendary Pokémon on the same team, and try to balance things out, I went with Ceruledge for that, as his base Speed isn't that high, but can be a threat with the right set-up. I changed Ceruledge's Tera Type to Grass and he now has Tera Blast to take on Water-type Pokémon, and he has Shadow Sneak for priority, I gave him a Clear Amulet so that he is not affected by Intimidate, that way Ceruledge doesn't have to deal with his Attack being dropped in battle.
Ting-Lu is one Legendary Pokémon that I find to be balanced, while this Pokémon has a massive HP stat and its Vessel of Ruin weakens the Special Attacks of every Pokémon on the field, which does help against the Special Attackers used by my opponent, this can come to use. I went with a Poison Tera Type, it was either that or Fairy, but I find that Poison is the better Tera Type for Ting-Lu to give it resistances to types like Fighting, Grass, and Fairy. It has Rock Slide to hit both targets, Throat Chop and Stomping Tantrum for its main moves, and Ruination to cut the opponent's HP in half, and it has a Leftovers, while Assault Vest would be the better item to have, I already had that on Tinkaton, and I even considered the Weakness Policy, but as I trained Ting-Lu up in its defensive stats, I chose Leftovers in the end.
