Pokémon Sword & Shield Online Battle 227
0I used: Stoutland, Tyranitar, and Skarmory
My Opponent used: Celesteela, Primarina, and Gardevoir
Stadium: Standard
Battle BGM: Battle Tower
That is a very good team my opponent has, while they have some good type variety, he does have Fairy-type Pokémon on his team, the two being Gardevoir and Primarina, but they at least have another type, same deal with Moltres and Celesteela being part Flying-type.
This battle is where I test out the Sandstorm part of the team, while I have Tyranitar for setting it up with Sand Stream, Stoutland can set it up with Max Rockfall through Rock Tomb when Dynamaxed, because I thought it would be a good strategy to try out, because I rarely ever come across players that use Stoutland in online battles. Going over my Stoutland's moves, I did use him on a Double Battle team, but I wanted to try him out in Single Battles, he has Rock Tomb so that he can use Max Rockfall when Dynamaxed, and in turn activate Sand Rush, he has some good coverage moves like Play Rough and Superpower to deal with opponents of different types, and Giga Impact for a powerful Normal-type move, and it's there when I need to use it, if only Stoutland could learn Body Slam, then it would have a reliable Normal-type move to use. Stoutland can't even learn Double-Edge, the best for Normal-type moves Stoutland can learn is Take Down, while 90 Power isn't bad, the 90 accuracy is kind of a drawback to that move, and most Pokémon that learn Take Down can learn Double-Edge, there is also Last Resort, but that move only works when all other moves have been used before it, there is Facade, which has 70 Power, and while it is not a strong attack, it becomes more powerful if inflicted with a status condition, and there's Retaliate, which doubles in power if an ally Pokémon has fainted in the previous turn, so I have listed as many Physical Normal-type moves Stoutland can learn.
Tyranitar is a Pokémon with a lot of versatility, the moves I went with on her is Rock Blast, Crunch, Earthquake, and Ice Punch, Tyranitar can learn moves like Superpower, Iron Head, Dragon Dance, and many other moves. I gave the Weakness Policy to Tyranitar so that she can get an Attack and Special Attack boost from taking a super effective hit, that item is very popular on Tyranitar, as it is considered to be a great Dynamax user with its good defensive stats, and its Sand Stream Ability summoning the sandstorm to give it a 50% Special Defense boost, it's one of the reasons that Tyranitar is one of the most used Pokémon throughout this generation, and it has been a top tier Pokémon throughout the competitive scene since its introduction in Gen 2.
I did go over Skarmory in the last part, but as for my opponent's team, I did like the lead with Celesteela, as that is a Pokémon that can be unpredictable because of how balanced its stats are, Primarina and Gardevoir are some good Special Attackers, so at least my opponent was able to put his team to good use.
