I used: Incineroar, Toxtricity, Indeedee, and Durant
My Opponent used: Lapras, Dragapult, Alolan Ninetales, and Arcanine
Stadium: Hammerlocke
Battle BGM: Eternatus 1

I see that opponent has what looks to be a Hail team, as she does have both Abomasnow and Alolan Ninetales, both get Snow Warning for the Ability, and she didn't lead with either of them. I have read about Gigantamax Lapras being one of the most used Pokémon in Double Battles because of G-Max Resonance and its massive HP stat, but I do get some good luck at some points in the battle.
Indeedee's Follow Me did come to good use in the fight, as my opponent's Dragapult is a Special Attacker, and it knew Flamethrower, so having Indeedee use Follow Me did at least keep Durant from being taken down by it. While Dragapult is in the top 5 of most used Pokémon in VGC Tournaments, well it is ranked 1st according to Pikalytics, which is the site I use for usage rankings and what are the most popular moves for that Pokémon, and usually Physical sets tend to be more common on Dragapult in Double Battles, but then again Dragapult is a Pokémon that learns a wide variety of moves, and it can perform a large number of roles due to having a great access in different types of moves. I have also read that Lapras is one of the most used Pokémon in Battle Stadium, possibly due to its Gigantamax form.
Out of the Pokémon that get Snow Warning for the Ability, Alolan Ninetales is the fastest, and it is a good user of Aurora Veil, as well as moves like Blizzard, Icy Wind, Moonblast, and Freeze-Dry. I have come across Arcanine on a Hail team back in Pokémon Battle Revolution, and while Hail teams make good use of Ice-types, Arcanine does balance out the team a bit. I did put my Durant and Indeedee to good use in this battle, being able to use Indeedee's Follow Me to redirect attacks that would have taken out Durant, so that way Durant can be put to the test in this battle.
