I used: Sandaconda, Dragalge, and Mantine
My Opponent used: Blastoise, Venusaur, and Eternatus
Stadium: Standard
Battle BGM: Trainer

For some reason Standard seems to be picked for every stadium lately, even if there was one player that had a League Card that came with the Isle of Armor, and yet Standard was picked.
I give Dragalge another chance in this battle, and she has Flip Turn, even if it is a Physical move, the good thing about Flip Turn is that Dragalge can switch out, and I have looked into what the most popular moves are on Dragalge, and Flip Turn is one of them, she has Adaptability and a Life Orb, so her Sludge Wave and Draco Meteor can deal a ton of damage in battle.
I don't know what to describe my opponent, while he did have Eternatus and some really good Pokémon, the moves leave much to be desired, Blastoise was decent. I don't understand why my opponent has Mega Drain on Venusaur, this is a move Venusaur can only get in the Let's Go games, and in those games, Mega Drain had 75 base power, which made up for Giga Drain not being in those games. The Let's Go games were the games that made Teleport a viable move in the competitive scene, and Solar Beam had 200 power instead of 120, which was to make up for weather not being in the games.
My opponent had an unbalanced Eternatus set, it had too many Dragon-type moves, because if your Pokémon has four moves of the same type, for example, if Blastoise has Water Gun, Bubble Beam, Hydro Pump, and Surf, that is an unbalanced moveset, because Blastoise will struggle against opponents that resist Water, or even have Water Absorb for their Ability, so you shouldn't have all four moves of the same type, if it has a coverage move like Ice Beam, that will give it an option against Grass and Dragon-type Pokémon, type coverage is very important in online battles, and my opponent's team is unbalanced in terms of coverage. I'm not referring to this Blastoise, as it did have Flash Cannon, I'm just explaining about how important it is to have a coverage move on your Pokémon.
