I used: Xatu, Milotic, Tsareena, and Reshiram
My Opponent used: Raboot, Melmetal, wolf pack (Zacian), and budforever (Lucario)
Stadium: Hulbury
Battle BGM: Team Yell Captain

I did see that my opponent has a half Legendary Pokémon team, and that the ones picked for this fight were the two non-Legendary Pokémon, although Melmetal is considered a Mythical Pokémon, so at least that thing was used. It was good seeing my opponent using a Shiny Raboot on the team, I don't know if this one has an Eviolite or any other item, I did at one point consider using a Raboot and seeing how it worked, because I tend to prefer not to use Pokémon that are very overpowered, and Cinderace is in the Uber tier in the competitive scene. Even though I am using Reshiram in this battle, it is different, because Reshiram is a Restricted Legendary Pokémon, and that can be used in the current format, Melmetal cannot be used in Ranked Battles, but at least it can be used in Casual Battles.
The tough part about using Raboot compared to Cinderace is that it cannot get Pyro Ball, so instead Flare Blitz is the Fire-type move of choice, and it does get some good access to moves like High Jump Kick, Iron Head, Bounce, Sucker Punch, and a few others to make use of Libero. It was also good seeing Melmetal being used, but I have not yet come up against a Gigantamax Melmetal in any of my online battles.
I could go over some of my team members, I did use Xatu as the Tailwind lead, but he does have some other moves, he has Air Slash and Heat Wave for attacking moves, Heat Wave for coverage, and Air Slash is there in case I end up having to Dynamax Xatu, although it is not very likely, as Reshiram and Milotic are usually my main Dynamax users on this team, and I have Alcremie which can Gigantamax. Xatu has Ally Switch to help in certain match-ups, and Tsareena is put on the team, because even though this is a Pokémon that isn't commonly used, I did check the usage charts, and Tsareena has good usage in Double Battles, the main reason is Queenly Majesty, Tsareena's Ability, what that does is it prevents the use of priority moves from opposing Pokémon when Tsareena is on the field, so this can be very good against Fake Out users. As for the moves I have on Tsareena, she has Power Whip for a powerful STAB move, High Jump Kick and Triple Axel are coverage options, and U-turn for when I want to switch out Tsareena, she has a Wide Lens to boost the accuracy of her moves, as Power Whip and High Jump Kick do not have 100% accuracy, so having the Wide Lens does help out at least.
