I used: Carbink, Mow Rotom, and Quagsire
My Opponent used: Butterfree, Zacian, and Dragapult
Stadium: Stow-on-Side (Sword)
Battle BGM: Tournament

The team my opponent has does look like a team that would be used in the higher ranks in online battles, from seeing Pokémon like Dragapult and Zacian on the team, and one Pokémon on my opponent's team that is unexpected is Butterfree, and I liked how my opponent put Butterfree to good use, this one must have Tinted Lens, its Hidden Ability, because normally when going up against a Butterfree, which is almost never because not many players use that Pokémon, a move you would expect is Sleep Powder combined with Compound Eyes to boost its accuracy, and then set up some Quiver Dance boosts, but with my opponent, this Butterfree very likely has Tinted Lens to make it a powerful user of Gigantamax.
I did see it use Max Overgrowth and Max Ooze, which means for its Grass-type move, it knows either Giga Drain or Energy Ball, and for a Poison-type move, the only one it knows is Venoshock. I use Carbink as a lead for this battle, its main role is to set up Trick Room on the first turn, which did come to good timing against Butterfree's Max Airstream. I have Mow Rotom on the team, this one is EV trained in Speed and Special Attack, so it is designed around attacking than being used defensively, as it has a Choice Scarf for the held item, and it has Trick to give it to the opponent to screw them over. As for its moves, Leaf Storm is there as it is a special move that Mow Rotom can learn, Volt Switch for an Electric-type move and to switch out, as it pairs well with the Choice Scarf, and Dark Pulse is there to deal with Ghost and Psychic-type opponents. The main reason I picked Rotom for this fight was in case my opponent picked Swampert, because that Pokémon is really tough to take down if you don't have anything with a Grass-type move, because I have come across one player that used Swampert with Yawn, Stealth Rock, and Flip Turn.
Zacian and Dragapult aren't much to go over due to how frequent they are in online battles, specially Zacian in the current format where Restricted Legendary Pokémon can be used, and I did pick Quagsire for this fight so that she can stand up to Zacian, because I did read online that Quagsire's Unaware ignores the Attack boost from Zacian's Intrepid Sword, and if Quagsire does ever get the burn from Scald on Zacian, and then use Recover, Zacian can't do much against Quagsire. It does surprise me how Quagsire, a Pokémon that is in the lower tiers, see use even in Ubers as a check to Zacian and some of the more powerful Legendary Pokémon.
