I used: Indeedee, Sneasler, Hisuian Goodra, and Paldean Tauros (Blaze Breed)
My Opponent used: Eiscue, Rillaboom, Iron Hands, and Kingambit
Stadium: Mesagoza
Battle BGM: Area Zero Pokémon 2

I take on an opponent that is using some of the best Pokémon in Double Battles, although there was some unexpected Pokémon, like Eiscue on the team, as that is a Pokémon that is rarely ever used online, and I liked how my opponent paired it up with Rillaboom at the start of the battle.
Rillaboom is coming soon to the Tera Raid Events for those that want to capture it in any type of Poké Ball, because before the event, you can only have Rillaboom in a normal Poké Ball, and this Pokémon has lost Grassy Glide in this generation, which is in the data for this game, but no Pokémon in this game can learn Grassy Glide, the move did get nerfed to 60 power, but then again it is a priority move when Grassy Terrain is active, and Palafin's signature move of Jet Punch also has 60 power, and with the Grassy Terrain, Grassy Glide's power increases in it, but I do get the nerf to that move due to how many players used that move with Rillaboom in Generation 8.
The team that I use makes use of Indeedee's Follow Me, while a teammates can make use of the Psychic Terrain based on their Ability or moves, but I was not expecting Indeedee to have higher Speed than Rillaboom, while their base Speed stat is equal, I don't have any Speed EVs on Indeedee, so it is likely that the Rillaboom doesn't have any Speed EVs, because I know some Rillaboom sets do use some Speed investment, but I was not expecting the Psychic Surge to active before Grassy Surge.
Indeedee's main strategy is to use Follow Me to draw attacks to her while her teammate sets up, in this case, Sneasler has Swords Dance to boost his Attack, and as he has a Psychic Seed, this will activate Unburden, allowing Sneasler to outspeed almost everything. For moves, he has Dire Claw to give him a 50% chance of inflicting poison, paralysis, or sleep to the opponent, Close Combat for a powerful Fighting-type move, and Acrobatics to get in some huge damage, and Sneasler does have the Flying Tera Type to further increase the power of Acrobatics.
Hisuian Goodra is another set-up Pokémon that I have, his strategy is to boost his Defense with Shelter, while Acid Armor is more preferred as it has 20 PP compared to the 10 PP Shelter has, or 32 maximum PP compared to 16, it can only learn Acid Armor as a Sliggoo. After setting up enough with Shelter, Goodra can use Body Press to get in a lot of damage, and Heavy Slam is there for a Steel-type move, and as Hisuian Goodra is a heavy Pokémon, this can get off some good damage to opponents, and Protect is there to avoid attacks, and I have Leftovers on him to heal up. Goodra's Tera Type was very tricky to come up with, so I went with Flying in the end as that resists both Fighting and Ground-type moves, but against Iron Hands which is part Electric-type, I do have to try and get some Defense boosts from Shelter to take attacks from Iron Hands, and my Hisuian Goodra does have Shell Armor so that moves cannot land a critical hit on him.
I decided to test out another Paldean Tauros form, and the one I went with is the Blaze Breed, Fighting/Fire is a really good type combination for attacking, and this is the first Pokémon to get that type combo that is not a starter Pokémon, because from Generation 3 to 5, Fire/Fighting was used three generations in a row. He has Raging Bull, the signature move for Tauros, and from the Blaze Breed, it is a Fire-type move, this is there to remove screens from the opponent, and Close Combat to deal some powerful STAB damage, I have Trailblaze to boost Tauros's Speed, and he has the Grass Tera Type to increase the power of Trailblaze, and Rock Slide to hit both opponents. He has Intimidate for his Ability, and I went with the Assault Vest for his held item to take Special Attacks well.
