Battle BGM: Gym Leader

I go up against a player that has four Legendary Pokémon on his team, and all of them are Restricted Legendary Pokémon, but as this is Casual Battles, you can have as many Restricted Legendary Pokémon as possible, but in Ranked Battles, in the current season, you can only have one Restricted Legendary Pokémon, and Dynamax is banned, but in Casual Battles, Dynamax is still allowed.
The team I use has about half of them being underused Pokémon, and I use another Restricted Legendary Pokémon, this time it is Reshiram, and I am aware this Pokémon is in the Uber tier, but I did watch False Swipe Gaming's Competitive Review on Reshiram, and he did say that even though it is in the Uber tier, Reshiram is very low on the usage charts, but it is too powerful to be in OU with that Dragon/Fire-type and base 150 Special Attack, as well as access to powerful STAB moves like Draco Meteor and Blue Flare, and not many Pokémon resist that type combo.
I lead off with Xatu, he has Tailwind as a support move, and I gave him the Colbur Berry to decrease damage from Dark-type moves, I did consider the Focus Sash at first, which would have helped in this case, but I didn't count on my opponent leading with Shadow Rider Calyrex, and I already have the Focus Sash on Bisharp, so I don't like having more than one Pokémon holding the same kind of held item when doing online battles.
Bisharp has been used in so many online battles I have done, he's been used on different teams, and this is the first time he is used in a Double Battle, because all other times I have used Bisharp have been in Single Battles, and he has had his moves changed around for most of it. He does have Sucker Punch and Iron Head for his main moves, Brick Break for coverage, and as most of my Pokémon on the team know Protect, I gave it to Bisharp, because Protect is a move that you would see a lot of use for in a Double Battle.
As for my Alcremie, this is a Rainbow Swirl Alcremie, which is a very tricky form to get, because to get that, you have to spin counter clockwise for 10 seconds or more from 7PM to 7:59PM in-game time, and I wanted to try another Alcremie form for this one, so I went with the Rainbow Swirl, and she is capable of Gigantamax, because G-Max Finale is way better to have than Max Starfall. Some of the Pokémon on this team work as supporters, and with Alcremie, she has Decorate to boost the Attack and Special Attack of her teammates, Dazzling Gleam and Mystical Fire for attacks, and she has Aroma Veil for her Ability to protect her from moves like Taunt, Encore, or Torment, but when using Pokémon that are best suited for being defensive, I like to have at least one attacking move so that they can still attack even if they are affected by Taunt.
Then for Reshiram, and like I said in the last few online battles, if I am using a Legendary Pokémon in the Uber tier, it is the only Legendary Pokémon that will be used on my team, and I have to use some underused Pokémon to balance the team out, an example is with Xatu and Alcremie, as those two don't see common use in online battles, and aren't the strongest Pokémon to use, while Reshiram is very overpowered, so I like finding ways to balance out the team without overpowering opponents. I went with Draco Meteor and Blue Flare, as there are very powerful STAB moves, and Earth Power is there for type coverage, and with those three types, nothing resists those moves, because with Dragon and Fire, the only Pokémon that resist those moves are Azumarill, Primarina, Tapu Fini, and Diancie, and with a Ground-type move, Reshiram can hit a wide variety of Pokémon for super effective damage.
