I used: Mienshao, Shiinotic, Walrein, and Yveltal
My Opponent used: Dragapult, Cresselia, Landorus (Therian Forme), and Mimikyu
Stadium: Circhester (Sword)
Battle BGM: Legend 3

That is a lot of Legendary Pokémon my opponent has, and it is very fitting that we get a Legendary Pokémon battle theme for this battle. Mimikyu and Dragapult were two of the non-Legendary Pokémon used in this battle, but they are already powerful enough, and he did have Shadow Rider Calyrex, which was his Restricted Legendary Pokémon, but that thing wasn't used in this battle, I guess it's because I have Yveltal, so I could see why my opponent didn't use Calyrex, but it doesn't help the fact that half of his team is weak to Dark.
This is where I test out Shiinotic in this battle, this is a Pokémon that I find is a bit underrated, I have tried out a Shiinotic in Pokémon Sun & Moon for online battles, and Sun & Moon was where I started to get bored of competitive battle. If you want to know about my history of competitive battling, I didn't know much about it in Gen 4, this was very notable in my earlier Pokémon Battle Revolution videos, I didn't really get much into it until later in Gen 4, or even around Gen 5 which was where I started to understand IVs a bit more. Gen 6 was where they made the breeding mechanics better, and I appreciated that, so Gen 6 was where I started to know more about the basics of competitive battling, and Gen 7 was where I started to feel less interested in competitive battling, and now in Sword & Shield, I got back to competitive battling and have used many different Pokémon in online battles, as well as showing how much I have improved since Pokémon Battle Revolution.
Back to Shiinotic, she has a Big Root for her held item, and for her moves, I went with Moonblast, Strength Sap, Spore, and Protect. Spore is a very important move on Shiinotic, and I chose Strength Sap it is a helpful move, it did used to be Shiinotic's signature move back in Sun & Moon, it was a tough choice between that, Leech Seed, or Giga Drain, but I chose Strength Sap because I find that to be more reliable. Moonblast is there for an attacking move, and I chose that over Dazzling Gleam just in case I went up against an opponent that knew Wide Guard, so having a single target move in Double Battles can be more handy than having a move that hits both targets.
I couldn't believe my luck against that Dragapult, because I know how scary that Pokémon can be when Dynamaxed, but with Shiinotic's Spore, that can shut down an opponent's Dynamax completely. Mienshao wasn't well suited for this battle, as most of my opponent's team were Ghost-type Pokémon, which are immune to Mienshao's Close Combat, and the fact my opponent led with Cresselia was another thing, so it was at least good I picked Yveltal for this battle. Walrein was picked in case my opponent picked Landorus, I am starting to like how reliable my Walrein has been through most of my matches with Icy Wind to help slow down the opponent's Pokémon.
