I used: Vaporeon, Zapdos, and Nidoking
My Opponent used: Decidueye, Salamence, and Guzzlord
Stadium: Wyndon
Battle BGM: Mustard 2

There is something noticeable about my opponent's team, everything my opponent has is weak to Ice, except for Ice Rider Calyrex, and two of the Pokémon on my opponent's team are 4x weak to Ice, that is not a balanced team if you want to try and minimize your weaknesses, but good thing I don't have an Ice-type Pokémon on my team, although I would have to worry about dealing with Ice Rider Calyrex. I do have Ice Beam on both Vaporeon and Nidoking, so at least I have them to deal with most of my opponent's team.
It was interesting to see that my opponent has Guzzlord, because that is the least used out of the Ultra Beasts, while it has a very high HP stat, the 4x weakness to Fairy does make it very hard to use, specially with a very low Speed stat.
I could go over Vaporeon, and I did use him in a previous online battle, but I made some adjustments, I swapped out Wish for Haze, because with that, I can remove all stat modifications, so it's very useful for removing stat boosts through Dynamax, I don't remember if I have ever used Haze to strategic effect in any online battles I have done. Vaporeon does have Scald and Ice Beam for dealing damage, as well as getting the burn on his opponents with Scald, while Yawn is for putting opponents to sleep.
I did see my opponent had Decidueye in a normal Poké Ball, despite how we recently had a special Max Raid Battle event which had the Alola Starter Pokémon, and now you can finally have them in anything other than a regular Poké Ball. It was good to see my opponent use Decidueye, and while Salamence was at least a good Pokémon, it isn't best suited for this team, as there are three Dragon-type Pokémon, and two Flying-type Pokémon, Salamence being both these types, it's not a bad team, I don't mind the Pokémon choices, but that isn't really a balanced team when five Pokémon have a weakness to one type, in this case, Ice-type moves, and two Pokémon are 4x weak to Ice, because whenever I make a team for online battles, I check to see what types they are weak to, and when I have about three or more Pokémon weak to one type, I swap it out for a Pokémon that resists that type.
