I used: Klefki, Bombirdier, Sandaconda, and Hisuian Typhlosion
My Opponent used: Sandy Shocks, Flutter Mane, Hisuian Decidueye, and Miraidon
Stadium: Pokémon League
Battle BGM: Western Pokémon

I come across a team of Paradox Pokémon, with Hisuian Decidueye being the only one on the team that is not a Paradox Pokémon, that is if you count Miraidon as a Paradox Pokémon, because it technically is one, but it has the species name instead of the codename like every other Paradox Pokémon, and I have checked, and "Iron Serpent" does fit, the foreign names for Iron Serpent go over the character limit. You might be wondering what this Iron Serpent that I went over is, that is Miraidon's other name, its Pokédex entry in Violet is where the codename is used.
It was interesting to see my opponent using Sandy Shocks, because this is a Paradox Pokémon that I rarely see, Flutter Mane doesn't need an explanation as this Pokémon is in the top 10 most used Pokémon in online battles, Hisuian Decideye is an interesting Pokémon, this is a Grass/Fighting-type and it can learn a new move called Triple Arrows, which has a 50% chance of lowering the Defense stat of the opponent, and a 30% chance of making them flinch, the downside is that Hisuian Decidueye's Speed stat is kind of below average, which means it will need to use Trailblaze to give it a bit of Speed to make use of the flinch chance from Triple Arrows.
This battle was where I tested out Bombirdier, his role on the team is to use Knock Off to remove the opponent's held items and use Parting Shot to weaken their Attack and Special Attack stats and then switch out, while Klefki supports the team by setting up screens. I wasn't sure about going with Tailwind at first, but as I had that on Lumineon, I didn't want two Pokémon on the team having Tailwind.
This was where Hisuian Typhlosion to the test, he has a Fire Tera Type to increase the power of Eruption, but as I was up against Flutter Mane, I needed to try and paralyze it to put that to work, which was where Klefki's Thunder Wave and Sandaconda's Glare came to use, but as Miraidon was the final Pokémon, and it cannot be paralyzed as it is an Electric-type Pokémon. It was likely that my opponent didn't EV train, because I have had times where I outsped Miraidon with Pokémon that had base 100 Speed, and Miraidon has base 135 Speed, and that is equal to Flutter Mane's base Speed, and Hisuian Typhlosion has base 95 Speed, and my one has a Timid Nature and is EV trained in Speed and Special Attack, and a Modest Nature Miraidon that is EV trained in Speed is faster than Hisuian Typhlosion, which could mean my opponent did not EV train that Pokémon. I do have Flamethrower on Typhlosion for whenever his HP ends up below half, which can help in most battles.
