I used: Appletun, Mesprit, and Sharpedo
My Opponent used: Meowstic, Swoobat, and Altaria
Stadium: Hulbury
Battle BGM: Peony

I like how interesting my opponent's team is, most of which are Pokémon that don't ever see common use online, and I was surprised to see Dragonair on the team, I guess the reason is because Dragonair can get Marvel Scale for its Hidden Ability, and this one is likely to have an Eviolite and it might be a set that uses Rest, but I did like the lead with Meowstic, even though this one had no attacking moves, that can be a downside because Meowstic will be forced to use Struggle if affected by Taunt, so whenever I use a Pokémon that is used defensively or as a support Pokémon, I like to have at least one attacking move so that it can do something even when it is affected by Taunt.
I use my Appletun for this fight, it was really tough trying to use her in battle because of how common her weaknesses were, and how many Flying-type Legendary Pokémon I was coming across, like Lugia and Yveltal, and how overpowered their Dynamax attacks were. This Appletun set has Leech Seed and is built to be defensive on the Physical side, and her Apple Acid is helpful for lowering the target's Special Defense, and Dragon Pulse for a good Dragon-type move for her, and she can Gigantamax, so her Grass-type moves become G-Max Sweetness, which I find to be better in Double Battles or 6v6 battles, as that cures all status conditions on Appletun's side of the field. I wasn't sure if I wanted to make a Weakness Policy set for Appletun that uses Earthquake, but I already have the Weakness Policy on Aegislash, and I don't like having more than one Pokémon on my team hold the same item for online battles.
I did like that strategy with Swoobat, while it might seem to be an average Pokémon in stats, it is very fast, and this one has Simple for its Ability, so its stat boosts are doubled, because if Swoobat uses Calm Mind, its Special Attack and Special Defense are boosted by 2 stages, and when Dynamaxed, Max Airstream boosts its Speed by 2 stage, so for a Pokémon with below average stats in everything other than Speed, my opponent sure put Swoobat to good use, and I wasn't sure if it had Stored Power for its Psychic-type move, because with Simple and the boosts from Calm Mind and Max Airstream, that would make Swoobat's Stored Power devastating.
It would have been nice to see what that Altaria was capable of, from seeing Fire Spin, I'm guessing Altaria had Perish Song. I really like seeing players use Pokémon that don't see common use online, and you don't see Swoobat or Altaria that often whenever you do online battles, and while I have seen some Meowstic users, I felt this one was used much better than any other Meowstic that I have fought online, I kind of wish my opponent used Dragonair in that fight so I could see what it was capable of, but otherwise, I really liked my opponent's team of Pokémon that are rarely used online.
