I used: Vaporeon, Centiskorch, and Gengar
My Opponent used: Dracovish, Obstagoon, and Lucario
Stadium: Hulbury
Battle BGM: Eternatus 2

I see that my opponent has some very interesting Pokémon on the team, but I wouldn't say that my opponent is the most competitive player, but then again he did use a Dracovish in that fight, and it was good having Vaporeon for that fight, but I don't know if that Dracovish was holding a Choice Band or Choice Scarf, as those are the most popular items on Dracovish, and the nice thing about using Vaporeon is that I can switch him in when Dracovish uses Fishious Rend, because that move is known for being very dangerous due to its Strong Jaw Ability and boosted damage if Dracovish moves before the target.
I go with the Wish set for Vaporeon, as this is the most reliable healing move Vaporeon can get, and he has Scald and Ice Beam for some damaging moves, and Yawn is there for status, although I would prefer having Toxic, but it is not available as a TM or TR in this game, and there is still some hope that Toxic would be available through Move Tutor in the upcoming DLC for this game.
I also put Centiskorch and Gengar to the test, and as for my opponent, I was surprised to see Obstagoon use Thunder, because Obstagoon does not have good Special Attack, and even the Lucario had an unusual moveset, but it is still a decent team that my opponent has, but not the best I have ever seen.
Gengar once again follows the trend of a Pokémon with Trick and a Choice item, in this case, the Choice Scarf, and it was a tough choice between Thunderbolt or Focus Blast, but ended up going with Thunderbolt, because Gengar learns a wide variety of moves, and both Shadow Ball and Sludge Wave are good moves to have when using Gengar. While the rest of my team are Pokémon not commonly used, Gengar does at least balance out the team, as he does have good Speed and Special Attack, but not very defensive.
Then for Centiskorch, and this is not a Gigantamax Centiskorch, while G-Max Centiferno is good to have, I find that the sun from Max Flare is a bit more beneficial than basically a more powerful version of Fire Spin, but it does have some uses. Fire Lash and Leech Life are good moves to have, and Power Whip is there for a coverage option, and Coil for the stat boosts. I felt that Power Whip on Centiskorch was a better choice, as she can get Knock Off as a possible move, but I ended up going with Coil in the end. I did equip my Centiskorch with the Heavy-Duty Boots, so that way she won't be affected by entry hazards, like Stealth Rock, and for Pokémon with a huge weakness to Rock, Heavy-Duty Boots has become a popular held item for these Pokémon, and Centiskorch is one of those Pokémon.
