I've also been bitten by the "oh cool, new Gen V guys could be fun" bug and have been breeding and attempting to use a team of Mienshao, Hydreigon, and Reuniclus to very limited success at the moment. My best streak with the team was barely into the 30's I think before I was absolutely demolished by what seems to be a similar Weavile to what Carl is running.

It outsped my Mienshao with a fake out of its own since I went ahead and tried to at least break its sash in the off chance (yeah right) that it wasn't also running the move and then I'm sure you can figure the rest out from there. Night slashed Reuniclus after setting up trick room and then missing with focus blast followed by Hydreigon being ice punched to death after at least confirming that it did indeed have a sash.

I also want to try and use a bulky Conkeldurr with Mach punch and Drain punch, but I don't know how well retaining Mienshao as a lead would work out with that. Choosing a good lead for whatever team I happen to be trying to use has always been the hardest part for me in every generation so far.

Agreeing with whoever said it above that I enjoy the subway so far as it starts off being challenging from the get go rather than having to get a couple of rounds under your belt.
