I used: Ninetales, Togekiss, Venusaur, and Sableye
My Opponent used: Runerigus, Galarian Corsola, Cursola, and Obstagoon
Stadium: Wyndon
Battle BGM: Tournament

I like how my opponent's team is full of Pokémon in their Galarian Forms, or at least evolved form in the case of Runerigus and Cursola, but I do like seeing themed teams when doing online battles. I'm not sure if this is meant to be a team for Single Battles, as Galarian Corsola isn't one of the most popular Pokémon in Double Battles, but other than that, it's still good to see my opponent with some theme to their team.
I use my Ninetales in this fight, and she has Drought, but then again this the Ability you will want when using Ninetales. I did give Heat Wave to my Togekiss, because when doing Double Battles, I prefer Heat Wave over Flamethrower in some cases, and while Flamethrower is good for single targeting, my Togekiss already has Air Slash for a single target move. I have equipped an Eject Pack to Ninetales, and in case you don't know what an Eject Pack does, the holder switches out if any of its stats are lowered, and my Ninetales has Overheat, so that way if I am in a bad match up and my Ninetales can outspeed the opponent, I can get her out of the fight and send in a safer option.
I did like how my opponent used her Shiny Obstagoon in the fight, I believe he had Guts for his Ability, because he was holding a Flame Orb, and that is a held item that you would use on an Obstagoon with Guts. I do put my team to the test in this battle, because I believe my Ninetales would switch out if her Attack was lowered by Corsola's Strength Sap, so having Togekiss use Follow Me did at least help, so that way I wouldn't use up the Eject Pack from an opponent lowering Ninetales's stats instead of using Overheat, she does have Solar Beam, because this is a move you will want on Ninetales, as Solar Beam is a great coverage option on any Fire-type Pokémon in a sun team against any Water, Ground, or Rock-type Pokémon.
It was good seeing my opponent using some uncommon Pokémon like Cursola and Runerigus, and she did also have a Galarian Corsola on the same team, it's not often I see players use two Pokémon of the same evolution line, because whenever I make a team, I try to balance out the types, and anytime I use two Pokémon of the same type is if they have a secondary type that cancels out that type's weaknesses.
