I used: Raichu, Hatterene, Druddigon, and Galarian Moltres
My Opponent used: Machamps.com (Tapu Koko), Blaziken, Primarina, and Kartana
Stadium: Standard
Battle BGM: Eternatus 2

If fighting against full Shiny Pokémon teams weren't enough, my opponent in this battle has a hacked Shiny Tapu Koko, with the nickname of Machamps.com, that thing is 100% hacked, because I see that player every time on Surprise Trade and that player would always trade a hacked Shiny Pokémon, so I am guessing my opponent must have got that Tapu Koko from that player through Surprise Trade. It was good seeing my opponent use Blaziken and Primarina, and this does test another strategy with this team.
As my opponent led with both Blaziken and Tapu Koko, and both outspeed Raichu, so this was where I had to use Trick Room with Hatterene to give myself an advantage, because even if I used Speed Swap, they would outspeed Hatterene, so my opponent had a bunch of speedy Pokémon on his team, with the exception of Primarina, which has like base 60 Speed, so it isn't that high compared to most of the other Pokémon on my opponent's team.
I test out another Pokémon, and this is one that is rarely used in online battles, it is my Druddigon, she has Sheer Force for her Ability, and she has a Life Orb to boost the power of her moves. I did have a battle where my Druddigon came this close to sweeping a Legendary Pokémon team, and my opponent's final Pokémon was Glastrier, and when Druddigon got taken out, there was no way to stop that thing, and Glastrier even took out my Stakataka in one hit with Max Knuckle.
Going over Druddigon, the main reason why she is on my team is that she benefits from Speed Swap from my Ribombee, because Druddigon is really slow, and this is a very tricky Pokémon to use, as Druddigon has a good Attack stat and decently good defensive stats, but the low Speed stat does hold Druddigon back a bit, so this is where Speed Swap comes in. The reason why I have Dual Wingbeat on Druddigon is so that when she is Dynamaxed, she will benefit from the boost in Speed from Max Airstream, and I went with Rock Slide and Iron Head for moves that work with Sheer Force, and Dragon Claw for STAB. I did consider using a Druddigon for a competitive team back in either Gen 5 or 6, but I didn't give that thing a chance until this game, it is a cool Pokémon, I just find that thing to be underrated, and considering how it is overshadowed by almost every Dragon-type Pokémon available, so at least it was good to test out Druddigon in online battles in this game.
