I used: Tapu Fini, Goodra, and Entei
My Opponent used: Buzzwole, Galarian Slowking, and Mimikyu
Stadium: Standard
Battle BGM: Eternatus 1

My opponent has a really good team all-around, and as I cannot read Japanese, I can't tell what that Buzzwole's nickname is, because it has some repeated Japanese text. My opponent has a Legendary Pokémon, two Ultra Beasts, and three top-tier Pokémon, and while Galarian Slowking is a top-tier Pokémon in online battles, or competitive battling in general, Regenerator is the preferred Ability in Single Battles.
I use my two Legendary Pokémon in this battle, and I did at least add some underused Pokémon to balance out the team a bit so it isn't too overpowered, and at one point I went up against an opponent that had Pokémon like Mewtwo, Dragonite, and Celebi, and my Orbeetle swept that team, and my opponent disconnected right when the match ended.
For this one, I test out Goodra and Entei in this fight, my Goodra has an Assault Vest, and I did consider Acid Spray over Sludge Wave at first, until I went up against an opponent that had a team of underused Pokémon, and I could not beat that Moltres, as it had Roost, Will-O-Wisp, Air Slash, and Mystical Fire for moves, and it made me wish I had Acid Spray on Goodra, and Entei's Extreme Speed wasn't even dealing half damage to Moltres, my opponent also had a Bellossom with Quiver Dance and Baton Pass, and all I had to rely on was inflicting paralysis with Thunderbolt from Goodra, which didn't happen.
Back to my team, Goodra has the set you would expect to see whenever you see one used online, and I went with Dragon Pulse over Draco Meteor, because I find Dragon Pulse to bit more reliable, and Draco Meteor tends to be more of a last resort type of move, but on something like Goodra, I prefer Dragon Pulse. Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, and Sludge Wave are coverage options, and Goodra does make a great Dynamax option with those moves.
My Entei has a Choice Band, and it has some powerful Physical moves, like Sacred Fire and its 50% burn chance, that is really overpowered as you are very likely to burn targets with that move, and specially as my opponent has Buzzwole and Mimikyu, both really powerful Physical Attackers. For coverage options, I went with Iron Head, Stomping Tantrum, and Extreme Speed, I did consider Stone Edge at first, and Extreme Speed was important for priority. I remember back in HeartGold & SoulSilver where they had an event with the Shiny Legendary Beasts which knew moves they wouldn't normally know, and I remember the Entei from that event knew Flare Blitz, so this was the only legitimate way to have Flare Blitz on Entei, because its best Fire-type Physical move was Fire Fang, and this was before it could even learn Sacred Fire in Gen 6, so Entei faced the same problems as Flareon throughout the generations, and Gen 6 was where they can learn a really good Physical Fire-type move, although Flareon isn't as commonly used because of its HP and Speed not being too great, even after getting Flare Blitz, and Entei having Sacred Fire was a great improvement to it.
