There is one thing I want to go over, and that is the use of Legendary Pokémon, back then in my previous videos, I would only use up to two Legendary Pokémon per team, and while I will stick with it, there is something else I want to go over, I know this is not a Ranked Battle, but in Season 10, you can have one Restricted Legendary Pokémon on your team, and Dynamax is banned, but in Casual Battles, you can have as many Restricted Legendary Pokémon as you can, and Dynamax isn't banned.
The main reason I wanted to go over that quickly is because I have Yveltal on my team, and this is not only a Restricted Legendary Pokémon, but it is in the Uber tier according to Smogon, and previously, I said that I would never use a Legendary Pokémon that is banned to Ubers, but I have decided to change things around. What I will be doing from now on is that if the Legendary Pokémon I use is in the Uber tier, it will be the only Legendary Pokémon on my team, and I have to use some underused Pokémon to balance out the team a bit so that it is not too overpowered, because Legendary Pokémon are very powerful, and having some weaker Pokémon that not many players use can help keep the team in balance, and this is a Shiny Yveltal that I did use in my Max Raid Battle videos, and I decided to try it out online.
As for the rest of my team members, I have used Gothitelle in a past online battles, and this time she now has Ally Switch, so I can use that to swap with a teammate to get past certain moves, Psychic is there so that Gothitelle has a way to deal damage aside from Fake Out, and she has a Colbur Berry to decrease damage from Dark-type attacks.
Walrein is a Pokémon that I have considered using in my online battles ever since its inclusion in The Crown Tundra update, and I couldn't find a good team to use it in because it wasn't easy to find a good set for it, and it was outclassed by better Water and Ice-type Pokémon. This one has Icy Wind to slow down opponents, Ice Beam and Hydro Pump are his main attacks, and Protect is there because it is a good move to have in Double Battles, and I have the Leftovers on Walrein, as this is a good item for a Pokémon with a high HP stat.
At first, I thought that I had not used Gigantamax Duraludon yet in my online battles, I checked back and it turned out I have used him, but anyway, Duraludon has an Assault Vest, and for his moves, I went with Flash Cannon, Draco Meteor, Thunderbolt, and Dark Pulse, and he works as a great Gigantamax user, while Max Wyrmwind is preferred over G-Max Depletion for lowering the opponent's Attack, I just find his Gigantamax form to be better.
As I allowed only one Legendary Pokémon in the Uber tier, I won't do this too often, but if I feel like I need a way to handle the overpowered Legendary Pokémon, I might put one on the team. With Yveltal, it has a Weakness Policy, so that will make it a great Dynamax user, and it might seem very overpowered to do so with Max Airstream and Max Darkness, but for its moves, Oblivion Wing is there for a healing move, and it is Yveltal's signature move, so I had to put it on Yveltal, Snarl is there to lower the target's Special Attack, and it becomes more powerful because of Yveltal's Dark Aura, which powers up any Dark-type moves used when Yveltal is on the field. Heat Wave for coverage, and Foul Play to use the opponent's Attack stat against them.
As for my opponent's team, I did see that he had half Dragon-type Pokémon, and while it was good to see my opponent using Kangaskhan in a game that removed Mega Evolution, my opponent put it to good use, he did have Naganadel and Rayquaza as well, so it was good to see them being used, as it did allow me to make use of my Walrein in this battle, and I was confused as to why Lopunny was selected instead of Salamence or Talonflame, because Lopunny is a Pokémon that you don't see fairly often in online battles.
