Black Battle Subway Super Single Battle record: 97, 54, 337, 264




Latios nicknamed LILY
Item: Choice Scarf*
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Timid
IVs: 29 / 2 / 29 / 29 / 31 / 31
EV spread: 244 HP / 204 defense / 62 speed
Lv.50 stats: 185 / 77 / 135 / 129 / 150 / 151 (226*)
Moves:
~ Charm
~ Thunder Wave
~ Trick
~ Flash

YES I USED FLASH, SUE ME!!! I won´t get into detail, that move is just necessary, period. Funny thing about this latias is the fact that it outspeeds the scarf guillotine pinsir by exactly 1 point, which I didn´t know until I actually faced that pinsir. 136 is dead, long live 151, or you will eventually lose to 3-for-3 guillotines if you don´t outspeed and thunder wave.


Registeel nicknamed IRON FIST
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 / 81 / 187 / 60
Moves:
~ Iron Head
~ Substitute
~ Curse
~ Amnesia

As good as ever, maybe even better than in gen4 tower. Much more reliable than Garchomp when it comes to clean sweeps, you´ll know what I mean when you read the battle logs. I´d rather set up steel than chomp this generation, it was quite the oposite back in gen4. Registeel, you´re the best!


Garchomp nicknamed JETBAZOOKA
Item: Lum Berry
Ability: Sand Veil
Nature: Jolly
IVs: 31 / 31 / 31 / 22 / 31 / 31
EV spread: 252 attack / 6 defense / 252 speed
Lv.50 stats: 183 / 182 / 116 / 86 / 105 / 169
Moves:
~ Swords Dance
~ Substitute
~ Earthquake
~ Outrage

Solid but not super awesome like in gen4. Too much stuff going on in the subway that is meant to screw over your sweep with chomp. Use with caution.

So I´ve decided to use the good old 2363 streak team because I was disappointed I couldn´t even get to 49 in singles (starmie-garchomp-skarmory´s best was 43 in about 7 tries and sashape-CMcune-specslatios´ best was 30 in 3 tries).

Trick doesn´t work in the subway? Well, it does, if you know what you´re doing and your team is as good as mine.

Let´s call the first two streaks "getting to know my stuff lol"...

STREAK 1 Battle #98 vs Worker Valéry:


STREAK 2 Battle #55 vs Psychic Khaan:


STREAK 3 (the actual record)

April 14th, 2011: Battles #1-49 without using the trainer/moveset list (I used the serebii trainer catalogue afterwards)

April 15th, 2011: Battle logs #50-133


April 16th, 2011: Battle logs #134-175


April 17th, 2011: Battle logs #176-224


April 18th, 2011: Battle logs #225-273


April 19th, 2011: Battle logs #274-336; some intense stuff was going on here


April 20th, 2011: Battle log #337 and how I lost #338


NOTE: Attract, Taunt, Encore, Psych Up all work through sub
NOTE: PKMN Ranger Ivy apparently uses IV<19 Pokémon (battle #318)...nvm it was a male rivalry haxorus (thanks for pointing that out TRE)

EDIT: new streak

#211 against lead gastrodon3 (lefties, surf, earth power) and I flashed 6 times and didn´t have the patience to stall by switching, foe hit quite a lot of surfs, latias was at 80HP, I just went to chomp who got hit in the face hard by surf, but then subbed, 1 SD and KOed gastro, but its sub was broken by second poké sturdy golem quake, last pokémon was charizard

yes charizard 3 is the scarfed one...I thought OK he´s gonna air slash and I win this one with registeel...charizard used heat wave, garchomp fainted (I´m like oh shi I lost - chomp was at like 48 HP when KOed)...OK so I was in bed, no pocket calc near, so I took my second DS lite and used the pokétch calc app from diamond to calculate that heat wave does max 37 dmg to latias, which means 3HKO (remember it was at 80 HP), so I´ve decided to flash and hope for the best, you know, get in as many of those to give registeel at least little chance...

flash-avoided HW2, flash-avoided HW3, flash-avoided HW4, flash-hit HW5, flash-hit HW6 and burned, latias fainted from burn...

registeel tried to sub and avoided the HW, gg (struggle win in the end)...

like 7 minutes later, #214 vs black belt (set4 fire/fighting/steel)

latias vs blaziken4 - flare blitz is obvious but I didn´t stop to check the set like I´m supposed to and "think" for a sec...so I tricked

1. trick, flare blitz, CH
2. flare blitz, CH, latias fainted...way to start a battle
-chomp in
3. flare blitz, sub
4. flare blitz, sub broke, quake, chicken fainted
-foe poliwrath, gg...or? (note it´s the focus punch/waterfall wrath)
5. chomp wants to SD but wrath focuses...fuuuu...SD, focus punch, chomp fainted
- steel in, good luck buddy against that poli and if you, by any miracle, beat that one, you´ll face another bad matchup enemy from a black belt...
6. curse, focus punch
7. iron head, waterfall
8. curse, focus punch
9., 10., 11....just attacked him with a +2 iron head and KOed it, was at 67 HP
-foe´s last one is... ... ... durant! please not the digger... yes this one´s iron head/scissor/protect/entrainment...unless there´s hustle flinchhax I win
he uses entrainment as I sub, gg
1-0

I lost my singles streak, I´m having trouble focusing after 1,5 hours of play it seems (normally I play 3 sets in singles or 4-5 in doubles which take 1:15 and now I wanted to add a 4th singles one), setting up steel is so monotone but I have to be on the watch all the time...because I´m facing stuff like double CH throwers from tales followed by a CH flinching zenbutt from zong, or the standard last-struggle-always-crit-breaking-sub etc.

but enough of excuses, here´s how it went (last turn is super amazing...)

#265 vs socialite aparna:

latias vs heatran

1. latias trick, scarf<->white herb, heatran WoW, burn dmg
2. latias t-wave, heatran WoW, latias avoided, burn dmg
3. latias t-wave, heatran WoW, latias already has a burn, burn dmg
4. foe withdrew heatran, sent out latias, my latias t-wave
5. my latias flash, foe´s latias paralyzed
- at this point I had a feeling in my gut "what if it´s the physical one? shouldn´t I charm, just in case?"..well
6. my latias flash, foe´s latias used dragon claw, my latias fainted, LO dmg #1
- registeel out
7. registeel used curse, latias used hone claws
8. registeel used curse, latias used hone claws
9. latias used quake, steel at 93/187 HP, LO dmg #2, steel used sub, 47/187, lefties, 58/187
10. latias used quake, sub broke, LO dmg #3, steel iron head latias to red HP what looks like max 10%, lefties, 69/187
11. latias used quake, registeel fainted, LO dmg #4
- my garchomp
and now
...
...
the grand finale
...
...
12. peterko´s garchomp used earthquake, it doesn´t affect latias, latias used dragon claw, garchomp fainted, LO dmg #5, latias fainted

0-2

hahahahahahahahaha what the hell...

note that video says that beside the para choice locked heatran, the foe still had a terrakion so it would´ve been an interesting battle depending on its held item...or not

a dmg calc for myself "in hindsight":

+2 registeel iron head (216atk) vs 155HP/110def latias = 90-106 dmg (58-68%)

considering latias hit me 4 times, that means 4x15 LO dmg = 60... means that my registeel got (EDIT:) less than rand. 91/100 in the dmg formula (rand. 85-90/100), average dmg would´ve meant a double KO in turn 11...

obviously, I should´ve gone with flinchhax instead of curse with steel, it does 45-54 dmg (29-35%) to latias, or even better +1 IH does 67-79 dmg (43-51%) while I was faster at +1...a clear 2HKO when considering a second LO dmg after it hit my latias plus possible paraflinch hax (52% chance to get through)...

depending on what the foe would send out next, steel could´ve set up on heatran or just faint...garchomp obviously 1hits heatran and...yep it also 1hits each terrakion...

so the biggest mistake was not analyzing the situation properly on my side, with a clear head, after some dmg calcs (I was kind of tired because of all the stalling I had to do against things like CM protect cune and curseferro...

it was really a major mistake considering 264 is a big singles streak in BW and one set of 7 takes 21-25 minutes with this team...ouch I messed up badly

...to be continued
