Pokémon Sword & Shield Online Battle 207
0I used: Ribombee, Corviknight, and Dracozolt
My Opponent used: Rayquaza, Galarian Moltres, and Galarian Zapdos
Stadium: Standard
Battle BGM: Tournament
Time to face off against a player that uses a full team of Legendary Pokémon, and I was surprised to see Kantonian Articuno on the team, because this is a Pokémon that you never see being used online, considering that out of the Kantonian Legendary Birds, Zapdos is the best one out of the three, and Articuno is the one that sees the least amount of use. What I found weird was that my opponent had Galarian Zapdos and Moltres, and I know how dangerous Galarian Moltres can be after a Nasty Plot and when Berserk activates, if only Galarian Moltres was able to use Roost, then it can put its great Special Defense to use and it can get all the Special Attack boosts from Berserk.
At least we get to see Rayquaza in action in this video, and I think this is the first online battle I have uploaded where my opponent uses Rayquaza against me. I am sure anyone that has played Pokémon since the days of Gen 3 would be familiar with Rayquaza, and I have checked my Pokémon Battle Revolution videos to see, and most of my opponents that used Rayquaza were those that would use a full Legendary Pokémon team, and my opponent in this battle is no exception.
Rayquaza did get a signature move in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, that move is Dragon Ascent, and if you are not familiar with that move, Dragon Ascent is not a Dragon-type move, despite the name, it is a Flying-type move with 120 Power and lowers the user's Defense and Special Defense by one stage, so it is like a Flying-type Close Combat. I am sure this Rayquaza was obtained in Dynamax Adventure because I did see it have Brutal Swing, and one move it would have is Twister, which should be swapped out for Dragon Pulse or Outrage right away.
Back in Gen 6 and 7, Rayquaza was able to Mega Evolve, and the difference was that Rayquaza did not require a Mega Stone, it needed to know the move Dragon Ascent, and unlike most other Mega Evolved Pokémon where the Mega Stone took up an item slot, Mega Rayquaza was capable of using any held item, so you can have it hold a Life Orb or a Choice Band, and its Ability was Delta Stream, which nullified the Flying-type's weaknesses, and this was made Mega Rayquaza so overpowered, it got banned from the Uber tier.
As for my team of choice, I wasn't sure why I chose Ribombee for this one, I guess it was to give him more of a chance, but I am not a fan of Stun Spore's accuracy, Sticky Web would not help, as the only Pokémon on my opponent's team that would be affected by it are Suicune and Lunala. I found that both Corviknight and Dracozolt were helpful Pokémon for this fight, as most of my opponent's Pokémon were Flying-type Pokémon, so Dracozolt can potentially sweep with Bolt Beak, that is if Dracozolt can outspeed them, as most of the Flying-type Legendary Pokémon have a higher base Speed, and my Dracozolt is EV trained in Speed, and it has a Jolly Nature, so if I am assuming my opponent's Pokémon are not EV trained, Dracozolt can outspeed them and deal heavy damage with Bolt Beak boosted with a Life Orb.
