I used: Boltund, Hydreigon, Accelgor, and Charizard
My Opponent used: Inteleon, Absol, Toxtricity, and Carbink
Stadium: Motostoke
Battle BGM: Marnie 2

At first, I thought this looked to be a team my opponent used when playing through the game, as he had Pokémon like Inteleon, Greedent, and Toxtricity, which are Pokémon that I tend to see on players that use teams when going through the main story, but I did see he had Carbink and Absol, both being Pokémon that are available in the Crown Tundra.
My opponent does prove to be really good in battle, and I test out my other two Pokémon, the first one is Boltund, she is there to provide her teammates with ways to deal with Water-type Pokémon, even though she does have Thunderbolt. I gave her Electrify to change the target's moves to Electric-type, so I can use it on my teammate to make their moves Electric-type, Nuzzle is there to paralyze opponents, and Snarl for lowering the opponent's Special Attack. Boltund has Competitive for her Ability, which is an ideal Ability if you want to use Boltund as a Special Attacker, but this Pokémon doesn't get many Special moves, the only notable ones being Thunderbolt and Snarl.
Hydreigon also has Snarl, but I can use Boltund's Electrify to make Snarl an Electric-type move, and that can deal neutral damage to Absol and super effective against Inteleon. I gave him an Assault Vest so he can take Special hits better, while the Life Orb is more suited, I don't like having more than one Pokémon hold the same held item. Hydreigon has Dragon Pulse, Dark Pulse, and Earth Power for some very good Special moves. I put Boltund on the team as a teammate for Charizard, and when Charizard is Gigantamaxed, I can use Boltund's Electrify so that Charizard can use Max Lightning, and I did consider Rising Voltage on Boltund for some massive damage in Electric Terrain, but I went with Thunderbolt as it is more reliable.
This team has a lot of moves that lower stats, Hydreigon's Snarl and Accelgor's Struggle Bug are there for lowering the opponent's Special Attack, and Accelgor has Acid Spray for lowering Special Defense, giving this team ways to deal with opponents with a higher Special Defense stat. It was good seeing my opponent using Carbink in this battle, because this is one of those Pokémon that I don't tend to see that often when I do online battles, and Carbink can be surprisingly useful if you know how to use one in battle.
