Lost at 222 due to misplay (fairly badly now that I look at it lol), but then again, even without misplay I might still have lost to crits anyway.

Opponent team was Sash Garchomp, Outrage Flygon, and Outrage Gyarados.

First turn misclicked Psychic instead of Dragon Pulse.

Didn't check movesets (never did in this whole run... almost never do nowadays actually) and figured I should Bullet Punch with Metagross since EQ will KO Gross anyway, might as well try a crit, only to realize chomp didn't have EQ (it used Aqua Tail), but Bullet Punch 2HKO (so it didn't actually matter whether I used Ice or Bullet punch).

Was going to pivot switch Metagross->Suicune->Metagross to get Flygon locked into Outrage so Gross can Ice Punch Flygon to death, but misplayed again because Flygon got 2 turn outrage and Lum cured confusion but I didn't switch back to Suicune, which I should have. EQ KO'd the Metagross that took an aqua tail and flygon outrage.

Suicune alternated between rest and sub and managed to get 2 calm minds before flygon apparently ran out of outrages (no crits amazingly), but it got a Crunch down lowering Suicune's defense before dying to confusion the next turn (Suicune never attacked Flygon. Flygon just slowly killed itself from confusion while Suicune kept resting). Suicune had only 30% health or so facing Gyarados.

Because of that -Def from Crunch, Gyarados Outrage just barely 3HKOs Suicune, so Suicune fainted sleeping its last turn of rest.

If I didn't misclick first turn and used Dragon Pulse, Metagross would have KO'd Garchomp with Bullet Punch, take Flygon's EQ (assuming no crit) and then Ice Punch it to dealth, and then outspeed the no speed Gyarados and explode for the win in less than 3 mins. But o well.

EDIT:
@ashez: If I'm not doing a speed run of 1-49, I start using my main team at 43. Otherwise, I start at 50 or shortly after that. That having said, now that this speed run team of mine (i.e. my Blue team) has proved itself to be capable of getting to 200+, I think that I probably won't start using my main team until 100+ probably. I'll probably use it for one set of 7 during 50-56 just to test that it's at least ok though.
