Pokémon Sword & Shield Online Battle 206

Описание: I used: Hippowdon, Dracozolt, and Corviknight
My Opponent used: Ferrothorn, Zapdos, and Mimikyu
Stadium: Motostoke
Battle BGM: Marnie

This will be a really challenging battle if my opponent's team contains Pokémon that are the most used in online battles, there was Cinderace, Zapdos, Ferrothorn, Mimikyu, and a few others, and those are like some of the best Pokémon in the competitive scene, or in online battles.
I ended up going with Hippowdon as my best option against Zapdos, or at least a decent option because Hippowdon isn't the best at taking Special hits unless you go with Careful or Sassy for the Nature to boost Special Defense, mine has an Impish Nature, as he is more about taking Physical hits, I did have an opponent that used Cinderace in a battle where my opponent gave up, and I wanted to see how Hippowdon fared against Cinderace, because this is the one Pokémon that I have had trouble with fighting, specially when the teams I use for online battles lately contain underused Pokémon that aren't fast to begin with.
I did see my opponent's Ferrothorn had Toxic, and if this was Ranked Battles, there is an option where you can see your opponent's moves and items, but in Casual Battles, that is not an option. The Corviknight that I used in this battle is the very same one from one of my first online battle teams, so he goes way back, around when Corviknight was believed to be really good competitively, and we didn't have Skarmory back then, I even considered using Skarmory on this team, but I ended up going with Corviknight because he is more well rounded in being a defensive Pokémon, while Skarmory cannot take Special hits well. I gave the Rocket Helmet to Corviknight so that opponents with contact moves can take damage if they use them against Corviknight, and he was at least a good option against my opponent's Ferrothorn. I picked Dracozolt on the team because from what I have read, my opponent had Lapras, and I picked Dracozolt in case Lapras was picked, because I read somewhere that Dracozolt's Bolt Beak is capable of taking out a Gigantamax Lapras in one hit, that is if the Dracozolt is holding a Choice Band, mine has a Life Orb because I prefer that over the Choice Band in most cases, and Dracozolt does have a decent match-up against Zapdos, as Dracozolt does resist some of Zapdos's most common moves, like Thunderbolt, Heat Wave, and Hurricane.
There is also Zapdos and Mimikyu on my opponent's teams, Zapdos is one of the most annoying Pokémon to face off against because the two types it is weak to are not easy types to fit onto a team when trying to balance out resistances, because Rock and Ice have so many weaknesses, but with Mimikyu, the Swords Dance and Max Phantasm after Dynamax is a devastating combo, and Ghost is not an easy type to resist, the only types that resist it being Normal and Dark, but Mimikyu is also a Fairy-type Pokémon, and Max Starfall can really destroy Dark-type Pokémon, it's no wonder why Mimikyu is considered to be one of the best Pokémon in online battles.
