I used: Inteleon, Sceptile, Mandibuzz, and Solgaleo
My Opponent used: Zamazenta, Gene Kelly (Mr. Rime), 125 (Galarian Weezing), and Minotaupe (Excadrill)
Stadium: Battle Tower
Battle BGM: Tower of Waters

I wasn't sure if this was a team my opponent used in the main story or a team of underused Pokémon, because if that is a main story team, I'm surprised to see that my opponent doesn't have any of the Starter Pokémon, but then again you don't really need to have your Starter Pokémon be on the final team, I am sure players like to challenge themselves by going through the game without your Starter Pokémon.
I did see there were some interesting Pokémon that are rarely ever used online, like Mr. Rime or Galarian Weezing on my opponent's team, and there was Dusknoir, which my opponent didn't use, and I don't see that thing ever used, because usually its pre-evolved form Dusclops sees more use than Dusknoir because of the Eviolite. My opponent did also have Excadrill and Togekiss, which did end up high in the usage charts in the early days of Sword & Shield online battle, and there is Zamazenta for my opponent's Legendary Pokémon, so that does look like a team I would make, have one Legendary Pokémon and a bunch of underused Pokémon along with it.
I do put Inteleon's Water Pledge and Sceptile's Grass Pledge to use in this battle, when Grass Pledge and Water Pledge are both used, it will create a swamp terrain on the opponent's side, which decreases the Speed of opposing Pokémon on the field for four turns. While they are good moves in Double Battles, they don't tend to use very often, so at least I was able to put them to good use. I do have Mandibuzz, which has Tailwind to give them a boost in Speed, and she has Snarl and Foul Play for moves, Snarl to lower the opponent's Special Attack, and Foul Play against opponents with a higher Attack stat. I couldn't understand why my opponent has Moonblast on Zamazenta, it is a level up move, and while it is there for type coverage, Zamzenta learns Play Rough, and you should never use Moonblast when using Zamazenta, even Solgaleo has a higher Special Attack stat than Zamazenta, that is base 113 from Solgaleo, while Zamazenta has base 80. Most players don't tend to use Special Attacks when using Solgaleo, but it does get moves like Flamethrower, Solar Beam, Thunderbolt, Focus Blast, and many other moves, it's just that Solgaleo has a higher Attack stat, so Physical Attacks are more preferred.
