Pokémon Sword & Shield Online Battle 220
0I used: Celesteela, Nidoqueen, and Cloyster
My Opponent used: Grimmsnarl, Sylveon, and Scyther
Stadium: Hammerlocke
Battle BGM: Glastrier / Spectrier
This battle is where I test out three other Pokémon on that team, and I like how my opponent's team has mostly overused Pokémon, and one of the Pokémon on the team is Scyther, which is really good to see a player using one in an online battle, because Scyther does have really good stats for a Pokémon that isn't fully evolved, and it is a decent Eviolite user, so it is great to see another playing using a Scyther in an online battle, I did also like how well he used Grimmsnarl and Sylveon as well.
I adjusted Celesteela's moves around, and I decided to try out an Assault Vest set, because Celesteela is a Pokémon that can be used however you want with its well rounded stats and Beast Boost Ability, and I gave it Giga Drain so that it had a way to heal off some damage, while Air Slash, Flash Cannon, and Flamethrower worked for attacking.
I couldn't find any notable uses for Nidoqueen in online battle, possibly because she is outclassed by her male counterpart Nidoking in terms of being an attacker. Nidoqueen is more of the defensive side, and I did give her a Life Orb to pair up well with Sheer Force, and she has Sludge Wave and Earth Power for good STAB options, Ice Beam and Thunderbolt for coverage, even though Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes are notable moves for Nidoqueen, I don't find Stealth Rock to be very useful in online battles, it's not a bad move to have, it's just that entry hazards aren't too good in random online where both players are only using three Pokémon, it's better for 6v6 battles.
The last one that I picked was Cloyster, she has a Focus Sash, which isn't normally useful for a Pokémon with a high Defense stat, it's usually because Cloyster has a very low Special Defense stat, and it doesn't have a lot of HP, and most sets use Shell Smash. I went with Focus Sash on Cloyster so that she can at least take a move with the Focus Sash and get in some hits with Icicle Spear and Rock Blast with her Skill Link Ability. I have seen some players use the King's Rock on Cloyster so they can get some easy flinches on the target, but that set isn't easy to use, because when you are using Cloyster, it's all about finding the right time to use Shell Smash, because Cloyster cannot take a Special Attack, but if you can pull off a Shell Smash, Cloyster is not that easy to stop. I went with Liquidation so that Cloyster had a Water-type move of some sort, I did consider Surf or Hydro Pump, and there are some sets that use Ice Shard for priority, but that would mean no Water-type move, and Water is a really good type for attacking, Icicle Spear already deals with Ground-types, and Rock Blast is super effective against Fire, so this does leave Rock, so that is where a Water-type move comes in, Liquidation is good if you are using a Physical Attacking Cloyster, although you can use one as a Mixed Attacker with Hydro Pump.
