Strategy:

Once the battle begins, Yuzu will immediately have Pianissimo lead with a hit-and-run strategy, using Thunder Wave to slow Corrin's Azumarill down, and then retreating into the sky in order to set up Light Screen... and then immediately switch into Mozart, hoping to save Pianissimo for later. With Azumarill then paralyzed, Yuzu will have Mozart run around in order to avoid any attacks if Azumarill can get any off through the paralysis and set up a Swords Dance. With Swords Dance now set up, Yuzu will suddenly immediately switch from a keep-away strategy to a hyper-aggressive strategy.

Mozart will use Teleport to suddenly go from keeping far away from Azumarill to appearing behind it and then rush them with Leaf Blade. Unlike other move commands, Mozart uses this strategy whenever Yuzu snaps her fingers, at which point Mozart will immediately use Teleport to appear behind/next to/above his opponent (a decision she leaves up to Mozart's own discretion) and deal a Supereffective hit. Thanks to this wordless command, Yuzu gives her opponent very little time to react, and she uses it sparingly so that Mozart doesn't push himself too hard with it, as well as trying to keep the strategy from becoming too predictable and more something that just "randomly" happens.

Yuzu will try to aim for a sweep with Mozart from the very beginning, since the less everyone else sees of her team this early on, the better. Once Corrin's Lapras comes out, Yuzu will begin again with Mozart keeping his distance and actually start off with Hypnosis in order to put them to sleep. If this is successful, Yuzu will take advantage of this time to use Swords Dance again and further set up for a potential sweep. From there, it's a return to the hyper-aggressive strategy from before, only with Close Combat instead of Leaf Blade.

Should all of this be successful, and Mozart makes it to Corrin's Flygon, Yuzu won't be wasting anymore time and immediately lead with the aggressive strategy again. She's repeating it a lot, which is risky, but she does not want to give away too much of her hand in the first round if possible. Snap fingers, Teleport, Leaf Blade. Thanks to the double Swords Dance being set up already, this should hopefully be all she needs.

Counter-Strategy:

Because Yuzu wants to focus on Mozart being the sweeper of this battle, she has him running around a lot and generally just being a pain in the ass to hit. Mozart can take a few hits, but not a lot. Her finger-snapping strategy explained above can also be used for defense, as if Mozart is playing keep-away, a finger-snap from Yuzu will have Mozart immediately react by teleporting to the opposite side of the battlefield. He's been trained to only Teleport when he hears a finger-snap from where Yuzu is, so that way there's no risk of say, her opponent catching on and snapping their own fingers to try and confuse him.

If worst comes to worse, however, Yuzu does still retain options in Pianissimo and Schubert. She definitely wants Mozart to at least take out either Corrin's Azumarill or his Lapras, if not both, as the rest of her team would be able to deal with the rest. Pianissimo can paralyze and pummel Lapras with Aura Spheres, and as a flying fairy type, she also serves as a hard counter to Corrin's Flygon. Schubert, meanwhile, can also clash fairly well with Flygon, being a fellow Ground Dragon, albeit with better stats.

Meanwhile, Schubert can also potentially deal with Lapras in spite of the ice weakness... because Yuzu will have given Schubert a Yache Berry to reduce Ice Damage. She will, however, try to keep Schubert from facing Lapras at all costs in order to keep this hidden. In any case, thanks to this solution to Schubert's 4x weakness to ice, he can potentially finish off Corrin's Lapras thanks to supereffective moves such as Stone Edge and overall being much faster.
