Pokémon Sword & Shield Online Battle 100
3I used: Quagsire, Copperajah, and Crawdaunt
My Opponent used: Urshifu (Single Strike Style), Togekiss, and Cinderace
Stadium: Hammerlocke
Battle BGM: Tower of Waters
I have now made it to 100 online battles for Sword & Shield, and throughout my online battles, I have used many different teams, for this one, my opponent's team is mostly Pokémon that were placed in the top 10 for Battle Stadium, most of which are banned in the current format in Ranked Battles, well Urshifu isn't banned, and my opponent does have an Alcremie on her team, but she wasn't used in that fight.
I test out Quagsire in that fight, and she is able to take hits from powerful Physical attackers, I have read about Quagsire's viability, even in the Uber tier, despite its base stat total not being over 500, it does have access to Unaware for its Hidden Ability, well according to Smogon, Quagsire is in the NU tier, but it has seen occasional use in the higher tier, even in Ubers, where the most powerful Pokémon that are banned in OU are placed, including some Legendary Pokémon. My opponent in that fight used a Single Strike Style Urshifu, a Fighting/Dark-type with the signature move Wicked Blow, that has 80 base power and will always get a critical hit, so Urshifu is a very powerful Pokémon in the competitive scene. Togekiss and Cinderace are some threatening options, and both are capable Dynamax options, Togekiss for Max Airstream, and Cinderace for its Hidden Ability of Libero, while also being one of few Pokémon that can Gigantamax.
I did look into the more popular moves for Quagsire in online battles, Scald, Toxic, and Recover are very popular moves, and I went with Earthquake for the 4th move for a reliable attacking move, some other notable moves are Protect, Earth Power, or even Counter, as Quagsire is a Pokémon that has good lasting power in battle with inflicting status conditions with Scald or Toxic, and healing with Recover, while also ignoring the target's stat boosts with Unaware.
For my other team members, I do find Copperajah's G-Max Steelsurge to be very helpful in battle, and while Crawdaunt isn't the most defensive Pokémon, her Adaptability can make her a hard hitting Pokémon, and I have read that Crabhammer is more powerful than Liquidation, but I decided the better Accuracy and lower power is more reliable, while Crawdaunt's stats aren't too great, well other than its high Attack stat, and Adaptability making Crawdaunt's STAB moves more powerful.
