This is why I think Sharpedo is most successful in Doubles (and also Triples I would imagine). Even if its Focus Sash is broken by things like weather, Rough Skin, burn, Toxic, weak spread attacks, etc, Sharpedo is still great at generating free turns and taking down an opponent with Speed...

I got a 262 winning streak in Maison Super Doubles using the following team: Scizor @ Scizorite Technician -> Technician Adamant Nature 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD - Bullet Punch - Bug Bite - Brick Break - Protect Pretty standard Mega Scizor. Bug Bite is so good in the Maison since there are so...

Super Doubles Streak: 194 The Leads: Greninja (M) @ Life Orb (Francis) Protean Timid Nature 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe - Round - Surf - Ice Beam - Grass Knot Sylveon (M) @ Pixie Plate (Sylvester) Pixilate Modest Nature 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe - Round - Moonblast - Shadow Ball - Protect Round...

Got a streak of 87 on Super Doubles. Here's the team: Kristoff (Hawlucha) [M] @ King's Rock Unburden Hasty Nature 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe - High Jump Kick - Acrobatics - Fling - Protect Hawlucha is a really interesting Pokemon. Unique typing, base 118 speed, nifty abilities, and access to...

I used Parasect in a similar role (on a Drizzle team partnered with Shell Smash Omastar), but I used a more defensive EV spread: Careful Nature with 252 HP / 160 Def / 96 SpD. I also used Leftovers instead of Focus Sash. I found this set worked really well, and I think the more defensive EVs...

Thanks jumpluff! I think I've implemented all your changes. I also sent a message to TRE about putting his data on Smogon, so I'll let you know what I hear back from him. But other than that, I think it's ready to be HTML'ed!

Thanks Oglemi! I think I made all the changes you pointed out, but lemme know if I missed anything or if you see anything else. Just looking for one more GP check now.

This is unfortunately not the case - 2 players cannot enter the same Pokemon. I had high hopes of trying a double Storm Drain Gastrodon team in multi... And the idea of Choice Scarf Heatran is interesting, though I'm not so sure about Explosion (and thus, the attack EVs). I believe even if I...

Thanks! Hmm I hadn't considered Heatran since I've gone so long without access to a good one, though now I do in White 2. He might be able to at least somewhat deal with things like Jolteon/Raikou since he has nice special bulk, but you're right in that he's not a sure-fire way to handle them...

Battle Subway Super Doubles Streak: 171 This is a gravity based doubles team that aims to quickly KO enemies using powerful attacks that are normally not viable in the Subway due to their unreliable accuracy. Alakazam - Wilton (M) Focus sash Inner Focus Timid Nature 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252...

I think we're finally done with this, so we're looking for GP checks now. Thanks

Pokemon are set to level 50 in the Subway rather than 100. Therefore, an IV of 31 yields 15.5 stat points instead of 31, and 252 EVs yields 31.5 stat points instead of 63. Since everything is floored in Pokemon having an IV of 31 will actually only give 15 stat points at level 50. By putting an...

Thanks for the info and suggestions! Going to edit the article over the next couple days to add these new things. Additional comments are of course still welcome!

The Battle Subway article that Cradily and I wrote (http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3460746) is nearing completion. We'd really appreciate any feedback from Subway enthusiasts. Specifically, we're looking for comments on these areas: I have since come up with a guess that the...

Haha this is what I get for just mashing the A button at the end of every subway battle... missing an option and naming another one incorrectly. Fixed it, thanks for pointing this out!
