Here are the team of Pokémon in this video, which was decided by the random number generator.
P1 Team: Xatu, Sandslash, Gligar, Gloom, Nidoran♂, Staryu
CPU Team: Alakazam, Tyranitar, Houndour, Haunter, Flaaffy, Seadra

Then, I will list the moves for each Pokémon in battle, starting with my team.
Xatu: Fly, Future Sight, Night Shade, Flash
Sandslash: Earthquake, Fury Swipes, Sand-Attack, Sandstorm
Gligar: Slash, Faint Attack, Guillotine, Sand-Attack
Gloom: SolarBeam, Sludge Bomb, Sleep Powder, Sunny Day
Nidoran♂: Headbutt, Iron Tail, Thunder, Horn Drill
Staryu: Psychic, Hydro Pump, Thunder, Recover

The CPU's team of Pokémon and moves.
Alakazam: Psybeam, Thief, Future Sight, Kinesis
Tyranitar: Bite, Mud-Slap, Leer, Sandstorm
Houndour: Flamethrower, Crunch, Sludge Bomb, Sunny Day
Haunter: Shadow Ball, Giga Drain, Spite, Destiny Bond
Flaaffy: ThunderPunch, Fire Punch, Cotton Spore, Light Screen
Seadra: Surf, DragonBreath, Swift, SmokeScreen

I get two Pokémon with 1-Hit KO Moves, but I don't like to rely on them because of their low accuracy, while the CPU tends to use them and somehow manages to get them to hit consecutively. I got Gligar for the lead, while the CPU has Alakazam, and even though I do have Faint Attack on Gligar, the downside is that Gligar's Special Attack stat is really low, and Slash will likely deal more damage, and it has a higher critical hit chance, even though this isn't even Generation 1 where critical hits were based on the Pokémon's Speed stat. I do have Sand-Attack to reduce the accuracy of the opponent, and I like to use that against a challenging opponent to make them not hit that often.
One Pokémon that I have on the team is Staryu, expect to see this Pokémon perform well anytime it makes an appearance in the Free Battle videos, this is because Staryu has the powerful Hydro Pump, that is if it can get it to hit, and it has Psychic and Thunder to round out the set, and Recover to heal off the damage, I wouldn't say it is the best Rental Pokémon there is, but those are some good moves on Staryu, and with the CPU Pokémon having many Pokémon weak to some of Staryu's attacks.
Houndour is another of my favourite Rental Pokémon to use in the game, this is because it knows Crunch and Flamethrower, and if I need to use a Dark-type, Houndour is the one to pick, but the CPU does also have Haunter, which has Destiny Bond, and it is one of the faster users of the move, making it one of the most reliable Pokémon when taking on the Stadium Mode.
Sandslash is there to switch in on Flaaffy and take it out with Earthquake, Xatu has Night Shade to finish off weakened opponents, and I can use Future Sight and wait some turns for the attack to connect. While Gloom's main role on the team is to fight Seadra, there are critical hits to watch out for, and should the plan fail, I do have some backup options.
Tyranitar has really bad moves, Bite and Mud-Slap on a Pokémon with a high base stat total, while Mud-Slap can help in weakening the accuracy of the opponent and there is Sandstorm to get in some damage at the end of each turn, I can see it being there to balance it out, which could be why Pokémon that are not fully evolved have high base power moves, while fully evolved Pokémon have moves with a lower base power.
