I used: Primarina, Electivire, and Nidoking
My Opponent used: Cinderace, Boltund, and Vaporeon
Stadium: Standard
Battle BGM: Eternatus 1

I am not sure if my opponent's team is meant to be her team used in the main story or if it is competitively trained, because I could not tell if my opponent's Cinderace had Libero or not, but knowing my history of fighting Cinderace in online battles, I have come across some that didn't have Libero and were mostly used on a main game team, my opponent did have Boltund, which is a Pokémon you don't see very often in online battles.
I test out Primarina in this fight, and I was supposed to use him a few weeks ago on another team, but I forgot that I even had Primarina in the first place, but I felt his type would have helped that team well, but for this one, Primarina's type did serve well in battle, although I felt that Nidoking was most used in many of my battles with this team.
This Primarina does have an Assault Vest, and I went with Sparkling Aria, Moonblast, and Energy Ball for his main attacks, and Aqua Jet for priority, but I wasn't sure if it would finish off Boltund during the fight, because Primarina does not have a good Attack stat, Aqua Jet is just there for priority, and Boltund is not that defensive.
My opponent's team used in this fight looked to be a team that could be swept by Electivire with the right prediction, not giving away who wins this fight, but it would be easy to guess if you see how well my team is used, but I have had surprising losses against opponents that have bad movesets, or even a bad team in general. While Electivire's main use is to switch in against an Electric-type attack, specially when I have Primarina against Boltund, and I can switch out while Boltund is using Wild Charge. I did read about Electivire's competitive history, and while it has a good Attack stat, the main reason why Electivire was in OU in Gen 4 was as a switch-in against Electric-type moves, and using Motor Drive to get the boost in Speed, as Electivire's Speed stat is fairly decent, but it isn't as high as the top-tier sweepers back in the day, and Electivire isn't that defensive of a Pokémon, which could be why it fell into the lower tiers after Gen 4. While I did like using Electivire back in Pokémon Battle Revolution, it was good to use one in this game, specially now that Electivire can get Wild Charge and other better moves.
