I test out another team, and this one has some Pokémon that I have waited to use in online battles for a while, and some that I wanted to try out. Hisuian Samurott is one of the leads of this team, his strategy is to lead off with Ceaseless Edge to set up some Spikes, and he has Sharpness for his Ability, which increases the power of slicing moves. I did see most Hisuian Samurott sets have Razor Shell, while it has more power and has the chance of decreasing the opponent's Defense, Aqua Cutter is more accurate and has a higher crit chance at the cost of 5 less power. Sacred Sword is there for type coverage, and I have Aqua Jet for priority.
Next is Delphox, a Pokémon that I have used an interesting set with, and I decided to try another set that I have not tried out before. He has the Hidden Ability of Magician, and I gave him the Eject Pack, which allows the user to switch out when any of his stats are lowered, this pairs well with Overheat, but it turns out that when the Eject Pack activates, the item is not taken from the opponent, it's only when Delphox comes back to the battle that I can steal the opponent's item with Magician. Psyshock is there for his main Psychic-type move, Dazzling Gleam for type coverage, and Delphox does have the Fairy Tera Type to power that move up, and Will-O-Wisp to burn the opponent. I initially wanted to go with Power Herb and Solar Beam, but I decided Eject Pack and Overheat was the set to try out.
There is one Pokémon that I want to go over, and that Pokémon is Squawkabilly, I have waited a long time to use this Pokémon in an online battle, but I couldn't find the right moment to use it because of how low its stats are, Squawkabilly has very low defensive stats, and its Speed and Attack are decent, but they don't reach base 100. I do have the Hidden Ability of Guts on Squawkabilly, and if you are wondering, the Green and Blue Squawkabilly have that Ability, Yellow and White Squawkabilly have Sheer Force, which they cannot take advantage of as they don't get many moves that work well with it. The reason why I have waited to use Squawkabilly in online battle is because the Guts set does remind me of Swellow, a Pokémon that I really liked using in online battles back in Pokémon Battle Revolution, and I want to say it was Generation 7 that I trained up a Swellow for online battles, and it was the Guts set. Swellow's advantage was its very high Speed stat, and this was why I wanted to try Squawkabilly out, Facade is his main move, Brave Bird for a powerful Flying-type move, Quick Attack for priority, and Protect to let the Flame Orb activate, and he has a Normal Tera Type to power up Facade further. I originally considered going with a Fighting Tera Type with Tera Blast to give Squawkabilly a way to handle Rock and Steel-type Pokémon, but it wasn't going to be easy if it doesn't have the defensive stats to withstand an attack.
Going over my opponent's Pokémon, it is the overused Pokémon, Dragonite, Gholdengo, and Dondozo were picked, I did go up against that player again, or maybe it was the previous one, but the lead was Ting-Lu which had Stealth Rock and Whirlwind, and I missed many moves, so it wasn't worth it in the end, but I was able to put Squawkabilly to good use in this one.
