Stadium: Standard
Battle BGM: Eternatus 1

I have decided to make a new team themed around different types of strategies in Double Battles, and while I used this Indeedee in previous Double Battles, I thought about recreating that team, but this time use some different Pokémon that performed similar roles, but this time having something that works well with Indeedee in Psychic Terrain, so I went with Drifblim, as she has Unburden, and I equipped a Psychic Seed on her for a Special Defense boost, as Drifblim is not the most defensive Pokémon despite that huge HP stat, and she has Tailwind for support, and it was a tough choice between Strength Sap or Will-O-Wisp, but I went with Strength Sap, as that does help with recovery, and since the Pokémon my opponent used were mostly Physical attackers, with Toxtricity being the exception, and Icy Wind is there for Speed control, but then again it is mostly there to deal with opponents with very high Speed, and Drifblim is already fast enough with Unburden and Tailwind combined.
Incineroar is one of the most used Pokémon in VGC Tournaments, specially back in the Sun & Moon days when its Hidden Ability of Intimidate was released, it was the most popular Intimidate user, it was used even more than Landorus Therian Forme, and it even went to be the most used Pokémon in VGC Tournaments in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. In this game, Incineroar can now get access to Parting Shot to lower the target's Attack and Special Attack and allow him to switch out to a different Pokémon, so this is helpful against opponents with good offensive stats.
This is a different Toxtricity to the one I have used in previous online battles, but this one can Gigantamax, and she can use G-Max Stun Shock, which is what Toxtricity's Electric-type moves can turn into, and that can inflict either poison or paralysis on opponents. For my Toxtricity's moves, she has Snarl, which is a great move in Doubles, and Sludge Bomb for the single target move, I did look into Toxtricity in Double Battles, and Hyper Voice was a possibility, and while Boomburst is powerful, the downside is that it can hit teammates, and while Drifblim would make a good teammate for Toxtricity with Boomburst, I deiced to go with Snarl in the end, because moves that lower stats are popular in Double Battles, specially if it hits both targets.
As for my opponent's team, I did like how my opponent had Head Smash on the Shiny Scrafty, other than that, it was a good team to go up against, and at least my opponent had Rillaboom way before its Hidden Ability is even released, well at the time of this video going up. I'm sure the usage stats for Rillaboom will greatly increased once it gets Grassy Surge, because Abilities that summon terrain are very good, and it is one of the reasons why Indeedee sees a lot of use, mostly the female Indeedee, as she can get access to support moves like Follow Me, Helping Hand, Heal Pulse, and many other moves.
