Use Koraidon or Miraidon in Battle
Koraidon and Moraidon are end-game (Lvl60+) Legendary Pokemon. Koraidon is in Pokemon Scarlet, while Moraidon is in Pokemon Violet. Once the game is cleared and you have had the chance to battle and work hard to gain one of these, depending on your version, you will be able to use the in battle by selecting from the menu and adding to a vacant slot.
It is possible to have both of these legendary Pokemon, you just need to have a friend with the other version, and to trade duplicates! A duplicate can be found if you clear the game and then go behind the building where to final battle takes place in Area Zero. Good luck!
