Just thought I'd post this, an amusing battle I had recently :)
Working on 15+ now.

So, I'm back up to battles 15-21, and this is my first bit of information:
First out will be a tough, Draco Meteor-using Salamence.
755 | Salamence | Modest | Wise Glasses | Draco Meteor | Hydro Pump | Flamethrower | Ominous Wind | SpA/Sp
And, I think I have a terrible selection of Pokémon to be facing a special attacking Salamence with:
655 | Skuntank | Timid | Shuca Berry | Sludge Bomb | Dark Pulse | Flamethrower | Shadow Ball | SpA/Spe
639 | Granbull | Adamant | Muscle Band | Fire Punch | ThunderPunch | Ice Punch | Payback | HP/Atk
661 | Exploud | Adamant | Life Orb | Facade | Earthquake | Avalanche | Crunch | HP/Atk
670 | Weezing | Sassy | Lax Incense | Sludge Bomb | Thunderbolt | Dark Pulse | Explosion | SpA/SpD
704 | Drapion | Jolly | Scope Lens | Cross Poison | Fire Fang | Thunder Fang | Ice Fang | Atk/Spe
741 | Rhyperior | Impish | Focus Sash | Horn Drill | Avalanche | Payback | Counter | HP/Def
But wait, Rhyperior has a Focus Sash and Avalanche! Maybe that'll be my best bet despite Intimidate. I don't really want to over prepare for Salamence as I need to make a good team as well, though the typings I have aren't great for synergy.
I decide to lead with Rhyperior, and I'll go for Drapion and Skuntank, even though I'll have a x3 Ground weakness, I think the Speed will be best.
Battle 15
So, in comes Salamence, and I send in Rhyperior. Salamence uses Draco Meteor and I survive with Focus Sash. Salamence is OHKOed by Avalanche. Aerodactyl comes in next, so I think "good game..." It uses Rock Slide and Rhyperior is KOed:
I stupidly look up the wrong Aerodactyl...
443 | Aerodactyl | Jolly | King's Rock | Rock Slide | Aerial Ace | Torment | Taunt | Atk/Spe
and send out Draoion, I use Ice Fang and Aerodactyl uses Crunch? I look again and see this:
715 | Aerodactyl | Adamant | Yache Berry | Giga Impact | Earthquake | Rock Slide | Crunch | Atk/Spe
So it does have Earthquake.. and a Yache Berry! Which sucks as I did use Ice Fang instead of Thunder Fang. It then uses Giga Impact on me, which brings me to 65 HP, but now I get the KO for sure with Ice Fang over the two turns. The last Pokémon is Heracross, which isn't the worst thing that could've happened, but it's not the best either.
I go first and hit with Fire Fang which takes Heracross to about 35%, and it flinches! So I use Fire Fang again and get the win. I plan on switching for Salamence now for a Ground immune and more special attacking.
Facade using Miltank is up next, so I keep Rhyperior out first and switch Skuntank for Salamence.
Battle 16
539 | Miltank | Adamant | Salac Berry | Facade | Zen Headbutt | Reversal | Endure | Atk/Spe
Miltank uses Zen Headbutt, I try my luck with Horn Drill lol. It misses, Miltank uses Facade, then I try my luck with Horn Drill again and it hits :D lol. Roserade comes in next but I don't want to switch, and it uses Giga Drain and OHKOes me. I go to Salamence and Flamethrower for good damage.
573 | Roserade | Calm | Big Root | Giga Drain | Leech Seed | Ingrain | Synthesis | SpA/SpD
Roserade uses Giga Drain again, but I hit it with Flamethrower again for the KO. Weavile is next, so I think I have this won. It uses Night Slash so it could be any Weavile, but I hit it with Flamethrower and win.
Next up is Raichu with Thunderbolt.
650 | Raichu | Timid | Petaya Berry | Thunderbolt | Focus Blast | Signal Beam | Nasty Plot | SpA/Spe
I don't bother trading anything, and just hope Rhyperior can do the buisness.
Battle 17
Raichu uses Focus Blast and it hits, I survive with Focus Sash and I use Avalanche. It doesn't KO and Raichu gets a SpA boost..It uses Focus Blast again, and it hits again. I go to Drapion next, Raichu uses Signal Beam which does about 50% and I KO with Cross Poison, only to get Paralysed by Static (that always happens). Espeon comes in and uses Shadow Ball, my SpD is lowered. I hit with Cross Poison for good damage. Espeon uses Grass Knot and I'm KOed.
727 | Espeon | Modest | Lum Berry | Psychic | Shadow Ball | Hyper Beam | Grass Knot | SpA/Spe
I go to Salamence. Espeon uses Shadow Ball and lowers my SpD, while I use Ominous Wind for the KO (but don't get any boosts). Granbull comes in, so I have to rely on Draco Meteor OHKOing to win this. Draco Meteor hits, and it does OHKO, so I win, just.
Next will be Facade Ursaring, but I don't fancy taking anything from my previous battle.
697 | Ursaring | Adamant | Toxic Orb | Facade | Superpower | Crunch | Protect | HP/Atk
Battle 18
I probably won't OHKO with Avalanche, but maybe the poison will help. I hope it isn't Quick Feet. It uses Facade right away, and I use Avalanche. I do less than half (much less than I expected really). Ursaring uses Protect which is fine for me. But then it uses Superpower, which obviously isn't fine. However, it doesn't KO and I KO back with Avalanche.
Forretress comes in next, which I can't do shit all to. Horn Drill sadly can't be used due to Sturdy, and my other moves are all resisted. So I just go for the Counter. Forretress used Dig, so I Counter again. But, it finishes me off. I go to Salamence and use Flamethrower to KO Forretress.
644 | Forretress | Adamant | Leftovers | Dig | Swagger | Toxic | Double Team | Atk/Def
Flareon comes in and I take a punt with Hydro Pump and it misses (I hate that move) Flareon uses Will-O-Wisp. I try again and it hits this time, I don't even KO Flareon and it hits me with Overheat. White Herb removes its SpA lower, while I KO with Ominous Wind for the win.
Next will be a Sheer Cold using Lapras. I contemplate switching out Rhyperior this time.
602 | Lapras | Impish | Quick Claw | Sheer Cold | Perish Song | Sing | Confuse Ray | Def/SpD
Forretress means I won't be OHKOed by Sheer Cold, and I can hopefully switch out on Perish Song and Toxic / Swagger Lapras, I just have to hope it doesn't Sheer Cold on the switch. So I make the trade for Rhyperior.
Battle 19
Lapras uses Perish Song right away, while I use Toxic. Lapras uses Sing and it misses, while I use Swagger. Lapras hurts itself in COnfusion and I Swagger again. We both switch, as Lapras is removed for Muk, and I went to Drapion. I use Fire Fang, while Muk goes for the Ice Punch. This is a battle I won't win if we keep throwing hits at eachother, I decide to switch to Ice Fang and hope for a freeze rather than a burn. Muk uses Poison Jab. I Ice Fang, followed by a ThunderPunch from Muk, I Ice Fang again, while Muk Ice Punches me and I'm KOed. But Muk is on low red HP now. I go to Salamence and use Flamethrower, which KOes Muk. Lapras comes back out, so I switch straight to Forretress. Lapras uses Sheer Cold but it doesn't work. It uses Perish Song next and I Dig. I hit Lapras with Dig and then Poison finishes it off. Kingdra is up next, which uses Twister, and I use Toxic. My song count falls to 1 but I don't want to switch, so I just use Swagger. Forretress faints and I get Salamence in. I use Draco Meteor and get the win.
Psychic Gardedvoir is next, but I can't really do much else so I stick with Forretress.
It uses Charge Beam, and I use Toxic first. It hits me with Focus Blast next, which KOes me. I go to Drapion as I don't want to use Salamence just yet, and use Cross Poison. I get a critical hit and Gardevoir is KOed. Hippowdon is next.. and I wonder whether to take a risk and go to Salamence right away. But I decide against it and use Ice Fang. Hippowdon strikes back with Fire Fang, which fucking burns me. I decide to just keep using Ice Fang and hope for a freeze. Hippowdon flinches. I use Ice Fang again, but Hippowdon's Ice Fang, my burn and the Sandstorm finish me. I go to Salamence, but I'm not sure what to do. Hippowdon is on about 40% HP. I can either risk Hydro Pump, or risk Flamethrower. I'll either miss or won't KO.. I decide to use Hydro Pump and it misses. Hippowdon uses Ice Fang and I lose.
Lame.
