I made a streak of 73 the other time. The star of this team is obviously TRE's Ferrothorn (with a little change of mine). So here's the team.

Cloyster @ Focus Sash
Ability: Skill Link
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spd
Moves:
-Shell Smash
-Icicle Spear
-Razor Shell
-Rock Blast

This guy sweeps entire teams, once set-up. He beats the Legendary trainers, except if they have Cobalion (he has to be the biggest thread to my team).
He has problems with priority moves and moves who can status you at the time (like Thunderbolt). This happens a lot actually.

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
Nature: Brave
EVs:252 Def, 252 SpD
Moves:
-Gyro Ball
-Leech Seed
-Curse
-Power Whip

I should rebreed this one: he has like shit IVs, I think he has like 148 HP.
Even without good IVs (and EVs), this guy walls just about everything. I have considered to use Substitute, but I haven't changed that (yet).

Starmie @ Life Orb
Ability: Illuminate (don't laugh, she had perfect Spd and SpA IVs and I was tired of breeding)
Nature: Timid
EVs 252 SpA, 252 Spd
Moves:
-Thunderbolt
-Ice Beam
-Surf
-Psychic

She handles the Fire- and Fighting-types, which my team has troubles with. I don't like her too much, but I couldn't invent someone better in her spot.

How I lost:
CPU sends out Conkeldurr
1 I switch out to Starmie, Superpower does more than half
2 Starmie uses Psychic, LO damage, Conkledurr survives (!!) with red health
Fling for the kill
3 Cloyster Icicle Spear, Conkledurr death
4 CPU sends out Ninetales, I Shell Smash, Ninetales Energy Ball, Sash activated
5 Razor Shell, Passho Berry weakened the damage, doesn't kill, Flamethrower for the kill.
6 Ferrothorn 0HKO by Flamethrower

Yeah, guess it's back to doubles then. I'm gonna use Starmie+Toxicroak and see how it works.
