I used: Alolan Exeggutor, Porygon2, Escavalier, and Octillery
My Opponent used: Tornadus (Incarnate Forme), Kyogre, Xerneas, and Togedemaru
Stadium: Standard
Battle BGM: Battle Tower

This opponent uses a rain team with some really powerful Pokémon, the lead of Tornadus and Kyogre can be really tough if you don't have a way to get through them, but as my team is a Trick Room team, I can use that to my advantage.
As Tornadus likely has Prankster, the lead with Tailwind is helpful, and as my Exeggutor has Frisk, it tells me what items my opponent has, and I was surprised to see my opponent's Kyogre with a Mystic Water instead of a Choice Scarf or Choice Specs, because if you haven't played online Pokémon or kept up with competitive battling since the days of Gen 4, Kyogre was one of the best Pokémon in the Uber tier, because with Choice Specs Water Spout, it can devastate anything that does not resist Water, and even if the Pokémon resisted Water, they would be taken out in two hits. There was Primal Kyogre in Gen 6 where it had a very high Special Attack stat and an Ability that made Fire-type moves useless, which wasn't the best because you are not that likely to keep a Fire-type Pokémon in against Kyogre, but it was nice in Double Battles where Pokémon like Scizor and Ferrothorn benefited from being Primal Kyogre's teammate, as that nullified their weakness to Fire-type moves. It did get a signature move called Origin Pulse, which is 110 power and only had 85% Accuracy, so this did make Water Spout more preferred over Origin Pulse.
My opponent did have Xerneas as well, and this is a scary Pokémon to fight against, well Xerneas doesn't look like a scary Pokémon by design, but the reason why is because its Ability is Fairy Aura, this boosts the power of any Fairy-type moves used by all Pokémon in battle when Xerneas is on the field, and its signature move is Geomancy, where Xerneas charges up on the first turn, and on the second turn, it boosts its Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed by two stages, but most Xerneas sets use a Power Herb to get the stat boosts right away, this is basically a more powered up version of Quiver Dance, because after a use of Geomancy, if you don't have a way to set Xerneas, it can destroy entire teams with Moonblast and some other powerful Special moves, like Psychic, Thunderbolt, Focus Blast, and Flash Cannon, and it can use Draining Kiss to restore its HP if it has taken damage.
I have used this Escavalier in a previous online battle, but I modified its moves to make it work in Double Battles, so she has Knock Off to remove the opponent's held item and get in some good damage, and I gave her Drill Run as an option against Steel-type opponents, it was a tough choice between Drill Run and Close Combat, but I went with Drill Run because of the drawbacks of Close Combat, because Escavalier is a defensive Pokémon, and Close Combat decreases the user's defenses after use. I did like how my opponent used Togedemaru as the final Pokémon, but I wasn't sure if this one had Lightning Rod, because I have seen some players use Togedemaru in Double Battles for that Ability, and as both Kyogre and Tornadus were both weak to Electric, I guess this was the reason for my opponent using Togedemaru in this battle.
