I used: Scrafty, Zeraora, and Lycanroc (Dusk Form)
My Opponent used: Meowstic, Volcarona, and Magnezone
Stadium: Master Dojo
Battle BGM: Eternatus 1

I decided to give this team another try, as there were some team members that I didn't use too much in the last few battles. I liked how my opponent had a full team of Shiny Pokémon, although there were some things that my opponent did that I didn't understand, like having her Prankster Meowstic using Yawn on my Scrafty, when Dark-type Pokémon are immune to status effects from Prankster, while this was a nerf to the Prankster Ability, I feel there are some players that tend to forget that effect exists.
As I only picked Physical attackers, this was a tricky fight because of Meowstic's Reflect, and Volcarona having Flame Body for the Ability, and I have seen some defensive Magnezone sets that use Iron Defense and Body Press, I don't think this Magnezone had those moves, Thunderbolt and Flash Cannon are the main moves when using one in online battles.
Even if Zeraora is more of a Physical attacker, it has Grass Knot to handle any Ground-type Pokémon that try to wall it, and Zeraora does have a decent Special Attack stat, so it's there to surprise opponents, while Plasma Fists and Close Combat are its main moves, and I went with Play Rough for a good coverage option against any Dragon-type Pokémon it is up against.
This must be the first online battle where the Master Dojo was picked on the opponent's side, and from what I have heard, this stadium only appears online when both players have the Isle of Armor DLC, so if you have a background that gives you the Master Dojo, and your opponent doesn't have the DLC, it would always go with the Standard arena.
