Battle Subway

I didn't really have a proper team for multi-battles but I lost once to the leaders due to hax. Flinch+crit in one turn is no fun. At last I beat them, though hax of my own. lol (Video: 82-75163-44972)
By the way for those who played in multi-battle, has the AI gone more stupider? My partner seems to like to use Earthquake when it's regular damage on opposing foes, and ends up fainting my Pokemon instead.

Dude, I'm really interested in this. How well does a scarfer fare in the subway? Personally, I've only used scarf magmortar and porygon-z in the past, and both sucked.
I'm not suprised youd've thought there are much better items to use in a restricted playing field such as 3-3, and in most cases there are (though personally I'm not keen on Choice Scarf in Gen 5 as it is). But Haxorus fires off insanely powerful Outrages, and Terrakion and Thundurus help clean up the mess, or alternatively they begin the onslaught for CSHax to just come in and clean up.
Why a Starmie, specifically?
And should Sawk's last move be Counter, Reversal, or Retaliate?
Decided to test some eviolite pokes in the Subway last night. Please try not to flame me for the EV spreads- I am lazy as hell to do complex ones ingame.
Porygon2@Eviolite
Modest, 170 hp / 170 def / 170 sp def
Trace
~Thunderbolt
~Ice Beam
~Recover
~Thunder Wave
This is a fucking boss. I managed to outstall and eventually KO a Haxorus, which says a lot about P2. It can even take some SE hits, provided they aren't STAB (such as Darmanitan's Superpower).
Chansey@Eviolite
Bold, 252 hp / 252 def / 6 spdef
~Seismic Toss
~Toxic
~Softboiled
~Attract
Yeah, attract sucks, but it was the only thing I could come up with to stall some stuff while poisoning them at the same time. Just like P2, Chansey will only die to STAB physical fighting-type moves. Unlike porygon, however, it needs to heal quite often since that defense stat is just ass. Works really cool and all, but I'll be sticking to Porygon.
Gurdurr@Eviolite
Impish, 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Atk
Nope.avi
Next in line are Dusclops, Tangela, Rhydon. Remember, competitive tiers =/= Subway tiers.
@Taylor
Thanks man, when I hatch a Haxorus with cool EVs I'll be sure to try out a Scarf set.

Sprocket
P(n) = 1 - (1 - P(1))^n
I believe he was testing them individually, and not on the same team.
breh
強いだね
Uhhhhh
Protect?
Otherwise getting a s-toss chansey in bw is such a pain in the ass it's not even funny; that in itself is almost a reason why one would never do it.. (first, you catch an often fleeing chansey in FRLG safari zone or in citadark isle in XD, then you transfer it to Emerald, then you RNG breed it, then you accumulate BP, then you teach it tutor moves, then you transfer it to DP, then you transfer it to BW, and FINALLY you can use it).
Has anybody tested how good the traditional Scarf Latias/Registeel/(Dragon type with setup moves) is?
Legal hacks, dude. Protect only works for one turn which isnt too great when you lack lefties.
And yes, Sprocket's right, tested them one per set.
Also I'm a she.
Dude Im so glad you finally appeared.
Anyway, why not use Assist Power instead of Psychic?
I've been using scarf uxie/SD scizor and SD chomp
Definitely not as effective as it was last gen, the AI is beefed up quite a bit. For example if they are locked into thunder wave and you switch in chomp, they will switch out almost immediately. As long as you lock them into a normally effective attacking move, it's still a very effective strategy.
I just wanted to point out that we got Entrainment as a skill for this too.
Now I haven't actually used it myself, but wouldn't you get to see the opponent's ability change like it does when it's used against you?
Also easy to get, just catch an audino.
