Before starting the battle, I show a Mystery Gift distribution that happened at the time, it is a one day distribution, you get a Torkoal that was used by the champion of last year's Japan National Championships, it is holding a Sitrus Berry and its moves are Burning Jealousy, Body Press, Yawn, and Protect.
Now onto the battle, and I wanted to try out Alolan Ninetales in online battles after seeing a good amount of players using that thing, so I made a Double Battle team with some uncommon Pokémon that you don't see too often in online battles, and decided to put it to the test, and my opponent in this battle has some of the most powerful Pokémon in Double Battles, there is Zapdos, which is one of the most overpowered Pokémon to deal with if you don't have anything that can deal with it, and Whimsicott with that Tailwind support, Venusaur which can use Sleep Powder, and Urshifu being a powerful Physical Attacker.
Going over each of my team, Alolan Ninetales is the most important member of the team, his role is to set up Aurora Veil on the first turn, and I gave him the Light Clay to extend the duration of Aurora Veil to 8 turns, he has Blizzard to pair well with his Snow Warning Ability, Moonblast for a Fairy-type move, and Freeze-Dry to deal super effective damage against Water-type Pokémon.
I am using Torracat on the team instead of Incineroar, and I did look into Torracat's viability in Double Battles, and it is a decent Pokémon when equipped with the Eviolite, it's kind of like Arcanine, but with lower stats, so I guess Torracat is like a weaker Arcanine, but it does get access to moves like Fake Out and Parting Shot. I gave Overheat to Torracat so that he had a Fire-type move he can use, I did consider Heat Wave or Flamethrower, and as I had Primarina on the team as well, I did almost consider having Fire Pledge on Torracat and Water Pledge on Primarina so that I could use a combo move, but I am sure there are better Pokémon out there that can put it to use, it's usually recommended to have the faster Pokémon use the Pledge move that goes first when combining them.
I have used this Primarina in a past Double Battle team, this is the one with Liquid Voice, he has Hyper Voice and Moonblast for some notable moves, and Hyper Voice becomes a Water-type move because of Liquid Voice, and with the Throat Spray, that can give Primarina a boost to Special Attack. I gave him Blizzard, as I am using Alolan Ninetales on this team, so having Blizzard on Primarina gives him an Ice-type move he can use, and Hydro Pump for the Water-type move, because when Dynamaxed, Hyper Voice becomes Max Strike and not Max Geyser, so I went with Hydro Pump so that Primarina can use Max Geyser.
I went with Kantonian Marowak for my Lightning Rod user, and while Alolan Marowak is preferred, I wanted to test out Kantonian Marowak because his Ground-type goes well with the team. He has Bonemerang for his main move, and as a way to break through Substitute or Focus Sash, Rock Slide for a move that hits both targets, and I went with Thunder Punch for type coverage against Water and Flying-type opponents, and I had to give him the Thick Club to double his Attack. I have checked the stats, and both Marowak have very identical stats, the difference is their types and the moves they learn, and I don't ever see many players ever use Kantonian Marowak that often, so I decided to put him on this team because I do like to use Pokémon that not many players ever use.
