Here are the team of Pokémon in this video, which was decided by the random number generator.
P1 Team: Rhyhorn, Ninetales, Electrode, Hitmonlee, Nidorino, Sandshrew
CPU Team: Ponyta, Jolteon, Poliwhirl, Scyther, Jigglypuff, Articuno

Then, I will list the moves for each Pokémon in battle, starting with my team.
Rhyhorn: Earthquake, Body Slam, Rock Slide, Fire Blast
Ninetales: Fire Blast, Skull Bash, Confuse Ray, Tail Whip
Electrode: Thunder, Thunder Wave, Swift, Selfdestruct
Hitmonlee: Hi Jump Kick, Mega Kick, Metronome, Seismic Toss
Nidorino: Double-Edge, Horn Drill, Focus Energy, Thunder
Sandshrew: Earthquake, Slash, Seismic Toss, Sand-Attack

The CPU's team of Pokémon and moves.
Ponyta: Fire Blast, Agility, Horn Drill, Body Slam
Jolteon: Thunderbolt, Pin Missile, Toxic, Sand-Attack
Poliwhirl: Hypnosis, Surf, Ice Beam, Earthquake
Scyther: Slash, Wing Attack, Leer, Double Team
Jigglypuff: Sing, Body Slam, Seismic Toss, Psychic
Articuno: Ice Beam, Sky Attack, Razor Wind, Substitute

I was really surprised by how short this battle was, I usually like to try and have battles be at least six minutes. From looking at the CPU team, Rhyhorn does have some good advantages in this one, but there is Articuno's Ice Beam, and my other good options against it are Electrode, which can paralyze it with Thunder Wave, and Ninetales, which has a good Special stat for taking Articuno's Ice Beam.
I don't know if I should give away what the CPU ends up doing in this video, but there were times where the CPU has a Pokémon with a huge advantage against me, but does have a weakness to one of my Pokémon's attacks, but ends up picking a different move which ends up turning the battle around for them, which could cost the match for them, and this is something that could have easily been avoided, because if you have a move that is super effective against the opponent, you don't pick the move that is the least effective. I have had times where I switched Rhyhorn in against an Electric-type Pokémon, only for them to use a move that takes out Rhyhorn in two hits, and I had a Water-type Pokémon in against that Electric-type Pokémon before switching out, and I have even had opponents use SolarBeam against a Grass-type Pokémon instead of a move like Psychic or Ice Beam, which would have done more damage than SolarBeam, and it doesn't even help when SolarBeam has the use not attack on the first turn of use.
I did read that Ponyta is one of the fastest users of Horn Drill, and it has Body Slam and Agility to make it so that Horn Drill has a good chance of connecting with the opponent, and I was looking through the moves of the Rental Pokémon, and Articuno is the only Rental Pokémon in Free Battle to have Razor Wind, but there isn't really need to use the move over Ice Beam or even Sky Attack.
