updated the list

I´d like to read some opinions about the following records:

1. DP TOWER original
Darth Kaiser (490) - Gengar, Blissey, Garchomp - http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...postcount=2834

2. PLAT TOWER
Grissom (802) - March 2nd, 2010 - Uxie, Salamence, Drapion

apparently DrD has a grudge against grissom and Bozo also doesn´t believe it´s a honest record, it´s not up there for the time being

3. HALL
Nickm65 (283) - Garchomp - http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...postcount=2821

unknown with magical skills that allow his garchomp not to face stuff like slowbro and weavile...dude posted a video though (?)

I´ve been using this team recently in SoulSilver:

1. Gallade
Item: Choice Scarf
Nature: Timid
Lv.50 Stats: 175-119-94-84-135-136
- Charm
- Memento
- Trick
- Will-O-Wisp

-> charm+memento is godly (I think only gardevoir learns this combo along with trick)
-> memento is incredibly useful and I fell in love with it, I find myself using memento a lot more often than charm, because boy doesn´t survive much anyway
-> bred memento, wow, grudge and d-bond on baby ralts...it surprisingly can´t learn WoW through TM, which is crazy...
-> wow is there for gliscor and metagross4, on paper...it missed 4 out of 4 in my 2 encounters with these 2 pokémon (meta4 missed with its second MM so I was able to miss with WoW twice, for posterity sake - afterwards meta missed MM once against registeel but got 3 boosts out of 8 hits total)
-> I didn´t miss thunder wave so far (only 131 battles total), grudge could be a nice answer to a lot of troublesome stuff, but I don´t have a 4 turn set up poké in my team

2. Latias
Item: Lum Berry
Nature: Timid
Lv.50 Stats: 181-90-114-132-152-178
- Dragon Pulse
- Substitute
- Calm Mind
- Recover

-> doesn´t penetrate as much stuff as I´d like, but pretty reliable nonetheless
-> I actually went through all the 700 tower pokémon and made a list of what my +6 latias kills (around 82% OHKOs) and what not

3. Registeel
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Careful
Lv.50 Stats: too lazy to look them up, the same as before
- Iron Head
- Substitute
- Curse
- Amnesia

-> this one is well known

for battles #1-49 I always use starmie-chomp-skarm

first streak was only 68 - I faced a gliscor and missed WoW twice in a row, gallade died and being out of practice (not remembering the whole moveset and too lazy to search for my printed list) I sent out latias and CMed, I let it die to -xscissor and lost (switching back and forth between scissor/quake would´ve given me the oportunity to set up registeel later)

second streak was 93 - I tricked a roserade (at the time I didn´t know memento is the way to go), got a white herb which meant I was gonna get leaf stormed, don´t remember it well but I think I lost to weavile4 + something else

third streak was 114 - worst possible matchup vs chicken - I thought I did my homework with physical fires...apparently not chicken, I charmed, white herb, flare blitz CH OHKO...latias died to a night slash CH as I CMed and registeel to two blitzes

I won´t try again unless I figure out a way around the pain that is flare blitz (I figured out a way around arca and ape sort of, stupid white herb chicken)
