I used: Hatterene, Leafeon, and Conkeldurr
My Opponent used: Gengar, Jolteon, and Ludicolo
Stadium: Stow-on-Side (Sword)
Battle BGM: Battle Tower

While my opponent's team is not really that competitive in terms of moves, it looks more like a team you would use in the main story, as most of them just have some level up moves, and not the best type coverage, but other than that, it doesn't look too bad of a team, but the moves leave much to be desired.
I use Hatterene in this fight, and she has Trick Room, and while my team isn't really a full Trick Room team, Hatterene is mostly there to use Trick Room to her advantage against speedy opponents, like my opponent's Gengar and Jolteon, but then again I do have Conkeldurr, which would also benefit from Trick Room as well, as Conkeldurr is a bit on the slow side in terms of Speed. Mystical Fire is the best that Hatterene can get to a coverage option, but at least it is there to deal some damage to any Steel-type Pokémon that my Hatterene ends up fighting against.
This is where my Leafeon is put to the test, he has a Heat Rock to extend the duration of Sunny Day to 8 turns instead of 5, and Solar Blade is a powerful Grass-type option, so that way Leafeon can sweep through teams with Solar Blade, unless they have something that can resist Grass-type moves, Dig and Iron Tail are mostly there for Defense boosts through Dynamax, and I have seen players use Dig, Fly, or Bounce to stall out the opponent's Dynamax turns, and while Earthquake is most preferred on some Pokémon that can learn it, Leafeon cannot learn Earthquake, so Dig is the best he can do for a Ground-type move, I have checked some sites, and while Leafeon can get X-Scissor, it isn't the most recommended on sets, and Swords Dance is an option, but that would take up a moveslot if I want to go with Sunny Day on Leafeon.
I was surprised about most of my opponent's moves, having both Thunder and Discharge on Jolteon, and not Thunderbolt, and also knowing Last Resort, but then again Jolteon's coverage is very limited, and specially due to the removal of Hidden Power, because Shadow Ball is one of few Special moves Jolteon can use for type coverage. I did also find Zen Headbutt on Ludicolo to be questionable, but then again I don't see too many Physical Ludicolo sets, as most Ludicolo sets include a Special sweeper with Swift Swim, or a defensive set with Rain Dish and moves like Leech Seed, Giga Drain, and Protect.
