I used: Aurorus, Lilligant, and Galarian Moltres
My Opponent used: Whiscash, Dunsparce, and Heat Rotom
Stadium: Master Dojo
Battle BGM: Mustard

When seeing my opponent's team, most of the Pokémon are those that are almost never used online, and I really like that, because I like giving underused Pokémon a chance, an example is my Lilligant and Aurorus in this battle, as both are Pokémon that are rarely ever used in online battles, Lilligant cannot learn that many coverage options, so her best moves are Petal Dance and Giga Drain, while Quiver Dance is there for setting up, and with Aurorus, that Pokémon is weak to so many types, and it has a 4x weakness to Fighting and Steel, its type combo of Rock/Ice is the worse defensive type combo in the entire game.
As with my opponent's team, I did like seeing Whiscash and Dunsparce being used, and put them to decent use, and I did see my opponent also had Wigglytuff and Bouffalant, which are Pokémon that you rarely, or almost never see in online battles, so it is nice to see a player using rarely used Pokémon. Whiscash can be a tricky Pokémon to use, as it is outclassed by almost every Water/Ground-type Pokémon that is available in the game, the nice thing is it can learn Dragon Dance to boost its Attack and Speed, but I don't know if this Whiscash had Dragon Dance, because when doing Casual Battles, you cannot check out what moves your opponent's Pokémon had, and I did like seeing Calm Mind on Dunsparce, because the only set I can think of when using one is Glare to paralyze the opponent, and keep flinching them with Headbutt or Rock Slide, or use Coil to set up. Dunsparce does get some good Special moves, like Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Air Slash, Stored Power, and many other moves, and it has access to Serene Grace for its Ability, if only Dunsparce didn't have terrible stats, this is a Pokémon that is in dire need of an evolution.
We did each pick a Pokémon that is used very often, my case is Galarian Moltres, and my opponent's is Heat Rotom, but I did see my opponent had Lugia for the Restricted Legendary Pokémon, while I don't have any Restricted Legendary Pokémon, well I have a Legendary Pokémon, but not one that is Restricted. I do get really tired of seeing some of the most used Pokémon in online battles, but with this player, it is a nice change to see some rarely used Pokémon, or those that you never even come across online.
