Stadium: Pokémon League
Battle BGM: Trainer Battle

I test out another team, and this one makes use of many Pokémon to inflict status conditions and support the team through many different ways, allowing me to get an advantage against the opponent, but some teams I come across have Trick Room, which shuts this team down completely as they rely on outspeeding foes to get the best use.
With the opponent's team, while I did like the fact my opponent had a Kleavor, I did see that the rest of the team was mostly Pokémon that were some of the best in Double Battles, like the Dragonite and Chien-Pao combo, as well as the newly added Urshifu, which has proven to be a threatening force in Double Battles.
Going over my team, Klefki is the one that leads the team, his strategy is to set up a Light Screen or Reflect depending on the opponent he is up against, and as both Pokémon that lead the fight were Physical Attackers, Reflect is the best way to start the fight. I was expecting that Kleavor to use Stone Axe on the first turn, what Stone Axe does is that the user deals damage and sets up Stealth Rock, and Kleavor has an Ability called Sharpness which powers up slicing moves, Stone Axe being one of those moves. Sandaconda was picked for a Ground-type option, he has Glare to paralyze opponent, but then again I have Thunder Wave on Klefki, but Glare is 100% accurate compared to Thunder Wave's 90% accuracy, I am really used to Thunder Wave in Pokémon Stadium where that move had 100% accuracy, and I recently found out Glare had 75% accuracy in Generation 1. I had forgotten to change Sandaconda's Ability to Shed Skin, as he had Sand Spit for this one, and the rest of his moves, he has Drill Run because I prefer single target Ground-types in Double Battles, Rock Slide to hit both opponents, and Body Press to use that Defense stat to deal damage, while also serving as a Fighting-type move.
I decided to try out Lumineon in online battles, and from looking up on sets for this Pokémon, I find that it is better in Double Battles, this is because it gets some interesting utility moves like Tailwind, Encore, and Icy Wind, I did consider Encore on Lumineon, but in the end I went with Protect. Lumineon's role on the team is to use Tailwind to support allies, he has Icy Wind to slow down the opponent's Pokémon, and Chilling Water to weaken their Attack stat a bit. His Storm Drain allows him to switch in on Water-type moves, like Urshifu's Surging Strike, and I did find out that the Urshifu had a Choice Scarf later in the battle.
Here is one of my main attackers, which does require a lot of support to get going, I have Hisuian Typhlosion on the team, I have Klefki to set up screens, Lumineon to provide speed control, and Sandaconda to paralyze opponents with Glare, Klefki can also paralyze foes, but Thunder Wave has less accuracy. Typhlosion has Eruption, and with the Choice Specs, this can deal some massive damage, and he has Flamethrower for a single target Fire-type move, which is there if Typhlosion has taken damage, which does make Eruption less effective, Shadow Ball for a Ghost-type move and Extrasensory for type coverage. I wasn't sure whether or not to have Infernal Parade, which is Hisuian Typhlosion's signature move, what that does is that it has a 30% chance of inflicting a burn on the target, and the move does double damage if the target is inflicted with a status condition, so with opponents being paralyzed from Klefki's Thunder Wave or Sandaconda's Glare, this would make Infernal Parade deal more damage than Shadow Ball, but I find that Shadow Ball is more reliable than Infernal Parade in most cases. For Tera Types, Lumineon has a Ghost Tera Type, which I had to do during the battle to make it immune to Urshifu's STAB moves, and I had to strategize around Chien-Pao, as Lumineon's speed control can come to use later in the battle. Klefki is not likely to Terastallize, but I went with Dark for his Tera Type to protect him from being affected by Prankster, although I do tend to forget about Dark-types being immune to Prankster when I tried to use Thunder Wave on Chien-Pao to try and paralyze it only to realize it is part Dark-type.
