I used: Dubwool, Jolteon, and Kingdra
My Opponent used: Cinderace, Obstagoon, and Corviknight
Stadium: Hammerlocke
Battle BGM: Team Yell

In this battle, I test out Dubwool to see how good she can do in battle, and this can be very tricky unless you know to use one of these. My strategy with Dubwool is to try and set up Cotton Guard to boost her Defense by 3 stages, and get in some heavy hits with Body Press, and alternatively, she has Thunder Wave to paralyze her opponents, and Substitute to help with increasing her Defense with Cotton Guard. This can be very tricky if my opponent's lead is Cinderace, specially if it is one that can Gigantamax, I have seen Cinderace a lot lately, but then again I am playing on Casual Battles, because in the current format, Cinderace is banned in Ranked Battles.
She did also have Obstagoon and Corviknight, and both are good enough Pokémon in battle, and I test out Jolteon in that fight. Jolteon's movepool is very limited, as both Thunderbolt and Shadow Ball are the best it can do, for my Jolteon, he has Rising Voltage if ever I end up Dynamaxing him, and once Dynamax wears off, his Rising Voltage will be even more powerful than Thunderbolt, and Volt Switch is there to switch out. In previous games, the only other coverage move Jolteon could get was Hidden Power Ice, but Hidden Power is no longer in this game. I have never been a fan of using Hidden Power in online battles, because when trying to breed for specific IVs to get that Hidden Power type, it can be very tricky, and it only has 60 power, which is kind of a bit average for a coverage move, and in most games, there was an NPC that would tell you what type your Pokémon's Hidden Power is, so it is not easy to try and get the type you want from that Hidden Power. Before Gen 6, Hidden Power was dependant on your Pokémon's IVs, and it had a base power from 30 to 70 based on your IVs, and in Gen 6, Hidden Power became a 60 power move, so it didn't depend on IVs for base power.
