I am number one!
But for how long? :D
Platinum Battle Tower Single Battle Record: 696
Team: Latias, Registeel, Garchomp
When the streak happened: August 24th – August 30th, 2009
Monday: won 147 battles
Tuesday: won 98 battles (245)
Wednesday: won 105 battles (350)
Thursday: won 98 battles (448)
Friday: won 105 battles (553)
Saturday: won 105 battles (658)
Sunday: won 38 battles, lost the 39th battle (696)
How the streak happened:
-> used the 700 Pokémon list printed on 3 pieces of paper (on both sides, five and a half pages)
-> used the 100 Trainer list printed on the last page of the above one
-> used a calculator
-> most important thing, used an awesome team:
1. Latias ♀
Nickname: LILY
Held Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
IVs: 29-2-29-29-31-31
EVs: 244 HP / 158 defense / 108 speed
Lv.50 stats: 185-77-129-129-150-158
Moveset:
- Charm
- Thunder Wave
- Trick
- Recover
-> I love you LILY
-> is way more beautiful and cooler than cresselia could ever wish to be :p
-> I don´t care what anyone else says about better defensive stats, latias rivals both cresse and uxie for best trick lead because of charm (cress has reflect, uxie memento), yeah I know that it draws ice attacks all the time and freezes suck, but again, don´t care, the streak speaks for itself
-> also a very important fact for me is that I will never copy someone else´s tower team and obviously cress and uxie have been used successfully as trick leads (see DP records and top3 plat. records – me, garo and jump when he gets there soon)
-> 158 to outspeed 100 and 105 speed pokémon after trick (for example sheer cold articuno), very good speed number overall
-> I only have this timid one, thus no 136 speed and rest into HP/defense to survive more; the current spread hasn´t let me down though
-> recover because even after around 700 battles with this team I found no reason why flash should be better, as:
1. struggle never misses (and CHs way too often),
2. OHKO moves are not affected by flash,
3. you survive more thanks to recover = PP wasting moves to set up garchomp or cripple foe´s pokémon and still be able to be used if something goes wrong
2. Registeel
Nickname: IRON FIST
Held Item: Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
Nature: Careful
IVs: 31-31-27-23-27-9
EVs: 252 HP / 100 attack / 140 defense / 12 special defense / 6 speed
Lv.50 stats: 187-108-186-86-187-60
Moveset:
- Iron Head
- Substitute
- Curse
- Amnesia
-> the hardest freaking head in the pokémon universe, nothing breaks its sub after +6/+6 except for CHs, OHKO moves, CB rhyperior and sunny day/blaze fire moves
-> 108 attack gives you 434 after 6 curses, which means a sure 5HKO on Heatran (everything else beside Magnezone and Lanturn should take less turns)
-> not that easy to use and I won´t tell you how to use it effectively J
3. Garchomp ♀
Nickname: LEAH
Held Item: Lum Berry
Ability: Sand Veil
Nature: Jolly
IVs: 29-31-31-9-31-31
EVs: 252 attack / 6 defense / 252 speed
Lv.50 stats: 182-182-116-80-105-169
Moveset:
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Outrage
-> the best 3rd member for this team I found, also the most dangerous pokémon out there, I have nothing more to say

Notes:
-> haven´t gotten to 100 in plat. before this run due to awful hax against me
-> before this trick team I also used Persian as a trick lead with registeel and CM latias, kind of a practice run (see my second record)
-> first try with this team after 49 ended like this in battle #76
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=992
-> second try ended in battle #72 due to an insane metagross
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...postcount=1000 ; haven´t faced metagross4 as a starter in this 696 streak though
-> in battles 1-49 in this run I used a timid life orb starmie, sash garchomp and my well known skarmory
-> streak warstory
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...postcount=1012
-> another warstory
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...postcount=1017
-> probably the closest battle I got through
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...postcount=1020
-> battles #497-511
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...postcount=1025
-> interesting battle was #616 when I faced a PI with lapras, QC activated turn 1, sing hit, latias slept for 4 turns and on the 4th turn the 3rd sheer cold connected; switched in garchomp to hopefully set up but QC activated and sheer cold…missed, would´ve been 1-3 if it hit and a simple perish song on steel would do the rest afterwards, close ._.
