This video was recorded before the Pokémon Presents, and it is very fitting that my opponent's player name is Lucas, because that is the name of the male protagonist from Pokémon Diamond & Pearl, specially when we got some more news on Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. I did see my opponent had some Pokémon that aren't commonly used online, like Slowking and Sceptile, I did see my opponent had the Johto variant of Slowking, which I have not come across that often in my online battles, he did also have Coalossal, Kabutops, and Mr. Rime, which I rarely ever see, Coalossal sees more use in Double Battles than in Single Battles.
I don't know if my opponent is the best at battling, because from seeing what moves Melmetal has, this must be the Melmetal that can Gigantamax that was obtained through Pokémon HOME when you first connect Pokémon GO with Pokémon HOME, so it might have the moves it would have when obtained.
I did change Moltres's Ability to Flame Body before this battle with an Ability Patch, as that is the better Ability to go with, and Jolteon does prove to be a useful Pokémon in battle with Thunder Wave to slow down Pokémon that have very high Speed, like my opponent's Sceptile. While I do like seeing players using underused Pokémon in online battles, Melmetal isn't really considered an underused Pokémon, it's in OU, it was banned to Ubers early in Gen 8, but now it has been unbanned, but I don't see too many players using Melmetal in online battles, I guess it's because Mythical Pokémon aren't normally allowed in Ranked Battles, but this is Casual Battles, so they can be used, but I don't come across Mythical Pokémon being used too often.
