Super double battle #31 vs veteran risha: thundurus, gigas4, cobalion, suicune, I was using my 415 streak soulsilver team

turn 1: croak used fake out on thundurus, gigas used wide guard, starmie used surf with no effect, thundurus flinched
turn 2: croak used sucker punch on thundurus, gigas used wide guard, starmie used surf no effect, thundurus used discharge starmie fainted, I sent out latios
turn 3: thundurus used volt switch, CH, croak fainted, -> suicune, latios used dragon pulse 55% dmg to cune, gigas used double team, I sent out scizor
turn 4: gigas used wide guard, latios used dragon pulse, suicune fainted, scizor used bug bite, CH 60% dmg to gigas, risha sent out cobalion
turn 5: latios used dragon pulse, gigas survived with 3%, cobalion used calm mind, scizor used superpower on gigas (oops), gigas fainted, risha sent out thundurus
turn 6: scizor used protect, thundurus used taunt, scizor protected itself, latios used dragon pulse, thundurus fainted, cobalion used calm mind
turn 7: latios used psychic around 30% dmg, cobalion used calm mind, scizor used superpower, cobalion at 25% HP
turn 8: scizor used bullet punch, latios used draco meteor (lol why?), cobalion used focus blast, scizor fainted
turn 9: latios used draco meteor, 1% HP left, cobalion used flash cannon, latios fainted

there you go, this is how you should NOT play...too many stupid mistakes, omg why did I draco meteor cobalion again? Why didn´t I psychic it? Dude, basic math 140x0,75 < 90x1,5...also I should´ve left the no attack gigas just sit there and concentrate on the others...yeah and that wide guard really threw me off, now there´s a special protect for multi-target moves and priority moves, wow...

well, I lost the first streak with this team somewhere around 24 to „no weak“ spiritomb, damn I love that thing, but it owns my team badly with sucker punch...

hydreigon instead of latios would sort of solve my sucker punch problem and the need of a fire move (I´d probably play d-pulse, earth power, flamethrower, crunch with LO), but it´s too slow for my taste and all those new legends outspeed it, all of the fighters beat it badly...latios would need a HP fire or something, but I don´t have that

I´ll play more to see what works
