I used: Salazzle, Tyranitar, and Seismitoad
My Opponent used: Alolan Ninetales, Ferrothorn, and Mimikyu
Stadium: Ballonlea
Battle BGM: Mustard

I put Salazzle to the test in this battle, as I did see that most of my opponent's Pokémon are the ones that Salazzle has the type advantage against, and my opponent picked both Alolan Ninetales and Ferrothorn for this battle, and I did see he had a really interesting strategy with his Mimikyu, which is one that you never see every day, Mimikyu is in the top 10 most used Pokémon in the current format for Battle Stadium, but the moves my opponent had were those I never expected to see a Mimikyu use in an online battle.
I have used Salazzle in a past online battle, so I decided to bring her back for this team, she has Sludge Wave and Flamethrower for good STAB moves, Substitute and Toxic pair up well together, and I can use that to stall out an opponent's Dynamax if Salazzle is faster than the opponent, and if said Pokémon does not have Max Airstream, because that can get through Salazzle without much difficulty.
I did check to see where Alolan Ninetales is ranked in the usage charts on Pikalytics, it is at 17th place, well it is one of few Pokémon to get Snow Warning, and it has access to Aurora Veil, so I could see why Alolan Ninetales would be that high in the usage charts, and Ferrothorn has been a top tier Pokémon since Gen 5, and it has remained one of the best defensive Pokémon even to this day, now that it has access to Body Press, which it can combine with Iron Defense to get in some huge damage on the opponent.
