It has been a while since I last came across a full Shiny Pokémon team with some really good nicknames, because whenever I see a Shiny Pokémon, sometimes it would be hacked, but for my opponent, they are not hacked, so I can see what good creativity my opponent has. I did see my opponent have a Delibird on his team, I would have liked to have seen what strategy he has with that Pokémon, because Delibird is considered to be one of the worse Pokémon in the game, my speculation could be that Delibird has Ice Shard, and that could be used to activate Flygon's Weakness Policy, but the Flygon did not have a Weakness Policy, because if he did, then it would have activated after I hit him with my Spiritomb's Icy Wind.
Speaking of the Weakness Policy, that was an item that I considered for my Metagross, but I ended up giving it to Zygarde, so I went with a Life Orb on my Metagross, and it has the set that you would see on a Metagross in Double Battles, like Iron Head, Stomping Tantrum, Ice Punch, and Protect, some Metagross sets in Double Battles use Rock Slide, but Ice Punch is preferred so it has a way to handle Ground and Dragon-type opponents, like my opponent's Flygon for example.
I did like how my opponent had three Eeveelutions on his team, because I don't see too many players using Umbreon or Espeon in Double Battles, and while Sylveon was one of the most used Pokémon in online battles in early Sword & Shield, I don't come across too many Sylveon users lately, but it was a good team my opponent used.
This battle is where my Spiritomb to put to the test, he does have Infiltrator, so his moves will ignore Reflect, Light Screen, and Substitute, and he has Snarl to lower the targets' Special Attack, and Icy Wind to lower their Speed, Foul Play for a single target move and can get in some huge damage against a Pokémon with high Attack, and Ally Switch as a strategic move for swapping places with his teammate. Spiritomb was a Pokémon that I have been waiting to use online since the release of the Crown Tundra update, and I finally get to use him online, and he's proven to be really good, I did consider Will-O-Wisp at first, because I went up against the unbreakable Shedinja set before this one, the opponent in that fight used a Carbink that used Skill Swap on Lopunny to give it Sturdy, and then had Lopunny used Entrainment to give Sturdy to Shedinja, and it even had Safety Goggles, because I Dynamaxed my Metagross in that fight, and used Max Hailstorm, and in the end, I had nothing that can take out Shedinja, and I didn't even realize this whole time that my Kingler had Knock Off, and I didn't even pick him for that fight.
I did use this Porygon-Z in a Single Battle, it has Hyper Beam and a Normal Gem, which will ensure that Hyper Beam will defeat even the bulkiest of Pokémon in one hit. I really liked how we had Gems of different types, because the most notable one was the Flying Gem, because that combined with Acrobatics made it a dangerous combo, because when used by Archeops, it can have the potential to take out an opponent in one hit, but for some reason, only the Normal Gem is brought back. I did consider the Silk Scarf for Porygon-Z to power up its Hyper Beam, and while powerful, it is best used as a last resort, so Hyper Beam is best used when I really need to use it to take out one of their Pokémon.
