Next, I went back to the old standby with some slight changes for v3 of Infernape/Latios/Hydreigon/Metagross
Battle Subway Doubles
Streak: 532
Team: Infernape, Latios, Hydreigon, Metagross
Infernape @ Focus Sash

Latios @ Choice Specs

Hydreigon@Life Orb
Modest 0/0/0/252/6/252

Metagross @ Air Balloon
Adamant 6/252/0/0/0/252

I talked about most of these changes earlier but in summary: Ape gets Flamethrower>Overheat, Latios Psyshock>Psychic and Protect>Draco Meteor, Hydra gets Protect>HP Grass, Metagross is now max speed Adamant. Only a a slight improvement on 510, loss this time from Worker Roman with Abomasnow+Froslass leads. Yay Snow Cloak hax. ._.
Of course this entire team was basically pieced together from successful teams from last gen. Credit specifically to Groombridge for the Infernape set and U-turn concept, Peterko for the now standard Choice Latios, and ...I think Chinesedood for the Metagross set?
Type synergy on this set is wonderful, excellent defensive resistance coverage, lots of opportunities for switches, a real rarity in doubles. I have at least one resist for every type and I have made all 12 possible switches multiple times.
