Hi, so I got a streak of 60 in Single Battle Castle today with 547 CPs. Honestly I could have continued, but I just didn't really feel like continuing because I was feeling a bit bored or something, and then just played poorly and lost. I used nearly the same team as my Battle tower team, except with Electivire instead of Metagross:

Starmie @ Expert Belt
Timid / Natural Cure
EVs: 4 HP 252 Sp Attack 252 Speed
IVs: 29 / 29 / 25 / 29 / 30 / 31
- Surf / Ice Beam / Thunderbolt / Psychic

Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Jolly / Poison Heal
EVs: 248 HP 4 Attack 4 Defense 252 Speed
IVs: 20 / 31 / 27 / 16 / 31 / 31
- Substitute / Spore / Leech Seed / Facade

Electivire @ Expert Belt
Adamant / Motor Drive
EVs: 4 HP 252 Attack 252 Speed (I think?)
IVs: 31 attack and speed, and I don't remember the rest.
- Thunderpunch / Ice Punch / Low Kick / EQ

Lost to a team of Moltres, Suicune, Latias. I used CPs to check my opponent's team, and upgraded Moltres by 5 levels, cuz I figured Starmie can OHKO anyway.

Anyway, so the battle started. Starmie fails to OHKo Moltres by a thin line of red, but Moltres was absorbing light for a solarbeam anyway, so missing the KO didn't matter. Thunderbolt KO'd Moltres the next turn since Tbolt's PP was still full while Surf's isn't. Suicune comes out. I was thinking I should probably just switch to breloom to spore and stall, but then I figured whatever, I'll just Tbolt and see how much damage it does. It did a bit less than half and Mirror Coat KOs Starmie. Breloom then comes in to do its Spore Sub Leech Seed thing. The thing is.. I COULD have kept a SUB up to face Latias, but I didn't, because I was stupid and just wanted to finish the battle faster lol, so yah, Latias outspeeds and used Zen Headbutt to KO, which then made me realize that I was in deep trouble since if it has Zen Headbutt it probably has EQ which will probably OHKO Electivire, and... yah, it outspeeds Electivire and OHKOs with EQ. O well. I'm happy with just getting the goldprint for now, so now I can just move on to get the goldprint for something else... probably pokemon arcade, but I'm probably going to breed for another team, since I don't want to be using the same thing over and over again (plus my breloom without toxic orb doesn't work in battle arcade anyway).

By the way, does anyone know whether or not Rotom appliance formes work in battle frontier facilities? I haven't used one of those things before, so I thought maybe I'll try.
