I used: Galarian Corsola, Unfezant, and Bisharp
My Opponent used: Torkoal, Mow Rotom, and Sylveon
Stadium: Wyndon
Battle BGM: Tournament

Those are some really good Pokémon my opponent has, and even if Torkoal is one of few Pokémon to have Drought, it tends to see more use in Double Battles than in Single Battles, but it is still an excellent supporter, although it did surprise me to see it have Fissure, because most Torkoal sets in Single Battles would have Lava Plume, Yawn, Rapid Spin, and Body Press. The nice thing about Galarian Corsola is her immunity to Rapid Spin and access to Stealth Rock.
Now for my surprising team member, I use an Unfezant for online battles, even if Unfezant is one of the worst Flying-type Pokémon ever, it's good to see it get Brave Bird, because I felt that Unfezant didn't get the right moves for what it is. My Unfezant has Super Luck, and I have given him a Scope Lens, so that way it will boost the odds of getting critical hits, and Focus Energy is there so Unfezant will be sure to score critical hits all the time. Unfezant's movepool is very limited, the removal of Return did screw it over in this game, so Unfezant has to use Facade for a good Physical Normal-type move. Unfezant is one example of a Pokémon that might not be the most viable Pokémon, but it can be useful if you know how to use one, and I do like giving some underused Pokémon a chance to shine in battle, and it does balance things a bit, as both Corsola and Bisharp are some of the more overused Pokémon in battle.
I like how my opponent is using Mow Rotom, because it isn't as commonly used as Wash and Heat Rotom, but it is still a viable option due to its unique type combo of Electric/Grass and access to Leaf Storm, so these Rotom forms do get some very powerful move options, so I can see why they would be one of the best Pokémon to use in battle.
