There wouldn't be an online battle where my opponent isn't a player that uses Legendary Pokémon and enters with a team that isn't competitively trained, because that's what kind of player my opponent is, no hate to my opponent, but this isn't the best team I have come across, because once again, my opponent hasn't evolved Kubfu yet, unless there is some strategy with an Eviolite Kubfu that I have never seen before, and at least we get to see Eternabeam being used, this is Eternatus's most powerful attack, and this is the only time it ever goes into its Eternamax form outside of the battle with Eternatus in the main story. Eternabeam is 160 power, and it is a Dragon-type Special move that after use, the user recharges, so it is like a Dragon-type Hyper Beam.
I wanted to get in a fight where I would at least test out Blastoise's G-Max Cannonade, because out of the Pokémon that I picked for this fight, Blastoise would be the most likely Dynamax choice, or Gigantamax in this case, as Uxie is not meant to Dynamax, and while Hitmonchan has decent versatility, I am not likely to ever Dynamax my Hitmonchan.
I chose Hitmonchan to fill in for my Fighting-type, and this Pokémon is kind of overshadowed by better Fighting-type Pokémon, because like Hitmonchan, most of the Fighting-type Pokémon can learn the Elemental Punches, and I do have Iron Fist on him. I chose Drain Punch over Close Combat so that Hitmonchan can last a little longer in battle, and Throat Chop is there for a coverage option against Psychic and Ghost-type opponents, and I went with Ice Punch for my choice, so that way Hitmonchan has a move that can deal super effective damage against Dragon-type opponents, and Flying as well, and Ice Punch has better coverage than Thunder Punch, and I have Mach Punch for a priority option. Hitmonchan is a Pokémon that I find to have a tough time with what moves to go with, because I can only have up to four moves on one Pokémon, and if ever they expanded moveslots on Pokémon to around six, then Hitmonchan would be one of these Pokémon that would benefit from it, but then again Machamp is another Pokémon that would also like the extra moveslots.
Another example of another Pokémon that would like extra moveslots is Blastoise, because Surf and Ice Beam are good moves, and Dark Pulse is there, specially when Gigantamaxed, while Shell Smash is there to increase Blastoise's attacking stats and Speed, but the downside is having other moves, because it would be nice to fit in Aura Sphere, Earthquake, or Flash Cannon, but I don't think Game Freak would ever implement Pokémon with five or six moves at once, but it would help Pokémon that learn a wide variety of moves, but suffer from having only four moves to use in battle.
