I used: Celesteela, Blissey, and Tapu Lele
My Opponent used: pokegen.club (Galarian Articuno), PokeGens.com (Galarian Zapdos), and Galarian Moltres
Stadium: Standard
Battle BGM: Mustard

My opponent uses the three Galarian Legendary Birds, and except for Moltres, two of which are hacked, and they are not Shiny Pokémon, because I don't think you can get the Shiny Galarian Birds legitimately, but I have received a Shiny Galarian Moltres on Surprise Trade at one point, and I had to check online to see if the Galarian Birds were Shiny Locked, and it turns out they are, so the Shiny Galarian Moltres was hacked, and once you get or see a Shiny Pokémon, they are permanently registered in your Pokédex, so I have Shiny Galarian Moltres counted as seen in my game, and there is no way to remove it from your Pokédex once you have seen it, but at least after so many Surprise Trades, I haven't even received a Zarude through Surprise Trade yet, so good thing I was able to get the Zarude Code so I was able to get a legitimate one.
I have noticed the nickname differences, because the Articuno is pokegen.club, and Zapdos is PokéGens.com, I don't know if they are meant to be different sources or if they are the same thing, but different, because whenever I do Surprise Trades, I would usually see Machamps.com, and sometimes I see Gengars.com, and both are players that trade hacked Shiny Pokémon.
I use Celesteela in this fight, and this was a tough Pokémon to work around, because Celesteela is a Pokémon that has balanced stats all around, it has really good defensive stats, but it can be a good attacker, and with Beast Boost, you can choose whether to boost its Attack, Defense, Special Attack, or Special Defense based on what set you want to go with, this Celesteela is a Special Attacker, and I went with Leech Seed so that I have a status move if ever I have to Dynamax it in battle, because Max Airstream and Max Steelspike from Air Slash and Flash Cannon are really powerful options on Celesteela, and it has Flamethrower for an option against Steel-type opponents.
I do put Blissey and Tapu Lele to the test in this battle, this Blissey has Tri Attack, and from what I have read, it has a 20% chance of inflicting paralysis, freeze, or burn, and with Serene Grace, it is doubled to a 40% chance, so Tri Attack on Blissey can be really helpful if you get the status condition you want on your opponent, although she must not stay in against a Physical Attacker, specially against Galarian Zapdos.
It is good to see my opponent using the Galarian Birds, even if they are hacked, so I don't know if Moltres was from a hacker or if it is a legitimate one, because usually when you receive a hacked Pokémon, the nickname would be the source, and it would always be Shiny if it can be legitimately obtained.
