Pokémon Sword & Shield Online Battle 218
0I used: Torkoal, Venusaur, and Regirock
My Opponent used: Urshifu (Rapid Strike Style), Cinderace, and Tyranitar
Stadium: Ballonlea
Battle BGM: Calyrex
The same song from the previous battle plays for this one, and my opponent's team has some very powerful Pokémon on the team, although he does have some strange options like Espeon and Arctozolt. Esepon is at least decent with Magic Bounce, but its movepool is quite limited, so most Espeon sets would always have Psychic, Dazzling Gleam, and Shadow Ball for attacking moves, or Reflect and Light Screen to set up, and Arctozolt is good if it has Slush Rush, because this does make Arctozolt an excellent Dynamax user.
My opponent brought in some very powerful Pokémon for this one, there is the Rapid Strike Urshifu with its Surging Strikes, and both Cinderace and Tyranitar are great Dynamax choices in online battles, Cinderace with its unpredictability with Libero and access to Bounce to use Max Airstream, boosting its Attack with Max Knuckle through High Jump Kick, and the power of its G-Max Fireball when Gigantamaxed, otherwise Max Flare does provide the sun to boost the power of Cinderace's Fire-type moves.
Tyranitar is another powerful Dynamax option, because the most popular item on Tyranitar in online battles is the Weakness Policy, and it can learn so many moves, so we'll see how well my team can handle my opponent's Pokémon.
This Venusaur is capable of Gigantamax, because G-Max Vine Lash is a great attack on Venusaur, the damage at the end of each turn is useful, although it doesn't work on Grass-type Pokémon. He has Sleep Powder, and with the sun from Torkoal's Drought, I can get in a Sleep Powder on the opponent, and as my Venusaur has Chlorophyll, he can even outspeed Pokémon that normally have a high Speed stat, like Cinderace.
I went with Giga Drain so that he can heal off some damage, and I wasn't sure whether to have Energy Ball or Solar Beam, but I decided on Giga Drain, because that way Venusaur can last quite a while in battle, and it works well with the Life Orb. Earth Power is good for coverage against Fire and Steel-type opponents, and I was considering Weather Ball on Venusaur, but it wasn't an easy move to give it, because like Earth Power, Weather Ball is more for handling Steel-type Pokémon, which Torkoal can deal with most of them anyway.
