I used: Grimmsnarl, Corviknight, Inteleon, and Chandelure
My Opponent used: Mamoswine, Glaceon, Frosmoth, and Eiscue
Stadium: Hammerlocke
Battle BGM: Marnie

My opponent has a Mono-Ice team, usually this isn't the most balanced team, as Ice is a terrible defensive type, but I do like how strategic my opponent's team is, as both Darmanitan and Mamoswine are top-tier Physical attackers, and I have heard about Eiscue's gimmick, where its Ice Face will prevent Eiscue from taking any damage, but it changes into its Noice Face, allowing Eiscue to sacrifice its defenses for a high Speed stat, and with Belly Drum, Eiscue can sweep teams easily, so it is a great Pokémon to use in Hail teams.
Quite unfortunate that my opponent didn't use Vanilluxe in this battle, as Vanilluxe does get Snow Warning, which is a nice Ability to have in Hail teams. I do put some Pokémon like Corviknight and Chandelure to the test, but then again this is a really good opponent if he can put his Mono-Ice team to good use.
I do find Frosmoth to be a strange choice, as Ice/Bug is one of the worse defensive type combinations in the game due to its 4x weakness to Fire and Rock, but it is one of few users of Quiver Dance that is available in the game, unless they bring back Volcarona in the Sword & Shield DLC updates, and Frosmoth does get an interesting Ability called Ice Scales, which halves the damage Frosmoth takes from Special Attacks, so this pairs up well with Quiver Dance, so that way Frosmoth can withstand Special Attacks while setting up Quiver Dance. Aurora Veil is also a useful move in Double Battles, as it is both Light Screen and Reflect in one move, but it will only work if used in Hail, so that is a good defensive tactic if you are using a Hail team, so Aurora Veil is a nice move to have on Frosmoth when using a Hail team.
