I'm a noob here, but not elsewhere (read: YouTube).
Don't worry, I didn't join the forums just to post this; Smogon is perhaps my favourite website and so I will contribute my useless posts every now and then.
Actual Information Starts Here:
I dunno how often the records get updated in the original post, but if they're accurate then I might be getting pretty high up...
Platinum Battle Tower Single Battles: Currently on 192 wins, still going.
My team was (the IVs are in the usual order of HP/Atk/Def/SpA/SpD/Speed):
Uxie ** Wisdom Bro @ Choice Scarf

IVs: 17/23/30/25/30/22
Ability: Levitate
- Trick
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock
- Memento
Scizor ** Facepalm (shiny) @ Iron Plate
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 248 HP, 252 Attack, 8 Speed
IVs: 31/25/21/13/23/24

Garchomp ** Draco II @ Focus Sash

Mmmyep, obviously an Uxie Trick-lead isn't an original idea; that was inspired by the smart folks here at Smogon.
Uxie's defenses are better than I thought; often surviving 3 super-effective hits, but criticals are annoying as usual. Memento is useful not only for the stat-boost, but to get Scizor in without switching into an attack or status move, and Sub for safety.
Not much else to say. Almost at 200 wins, it's getting quite repetitive.
I have a video of the 100th battle here:

Also, I will post a vid of my losing battle when that happens. Not that I want it to.
So yeah, this is just an update, I'll post when I lose... since I want a final record to get on the rankings, not one that's unfinished.
Funniest moment:
Focus Sash Exeggutor switches in, but Stealth Rock was absent due to critical hits on Uxie. Scizor is behind Sub, Bullet Punch the tree to 1 HP. Then it uses Wood Hammer. Suicides and my Sub is still up. I LOL'ed.
What kind of loser puts Wood Hammer on a Focus Sash set?
