I just finished my DP singles (with one Platinum tradeback pokemon) streak a few days ago, at 227.
The team was
Latios@Specs
Timid(4hp, 252spa, 252spe)
-Dragon Pulse
-Psychic
-Surf
-Draco Meteor
Scizor@Choice Band
Adamant(252atk, ??hp, ??spe)
-Bullet Punch
-U-turn
-Superpower
-Thief ( don't know why I have this..... )
Garchomp@Yache Berry
Jolly(4 hp, 252 atk, 252 spe)
-Eq
-Outrage
-SD
-Fire Fang
Latios and Scizor have perfect coverage with each other, and form the core of this team. The BT will 99% of the time use the super-effective move (like shadow ball on latios), and this helps my team greatly b/c when latios or scizor are locked on the wrong move, I can switch out and take very little damage.
The second thing I like very much about this team is that battles end quickly. Unlike your typical Trick BT team, where an average battle will last for over 10-15 turns, this team can sweep from the beginning of the battle.
Warstory Battle 141: Won by a miracle.
Latios, Scizor beat 1st 2 pokemon: Latios at half, Scizor at full and locked into Bullet Punch.
Opponent sends in Floatzel
I switch in Garchomp b/c scizor locked into BP (Misplay)
Floatzel used Rain Dance
Floatzel used IceFang, Garchomp was frozen solid.
I switch in Latios, Floatzel used Ice Fang.
I switch in Scizor, Waterfall? crit, scizor faint
Switch back to Garchomp, Ice Fang.
Rain ends
Now Floatzel is still full health, and latios has like 20ish hp left. Thought I was done until Floatzel used aqua jet, leaving latios with exactly 1 hp left. Draco Meteor hits, and is an OHKO.
Now, its 3:00AM, and I have HW due the next day, so I'm multitasking.
Start of battle 227:
Latios vs. Arcanine
Latios uses Dragon Pulse, Arcanine in deep red uses Crunch
Arcanine uses E-speed, Latios fainted.
2 majors misplays here: Surf would've KOed Arcanine and I should've seen extremespeed coming and switched to garchomp.
I send in Garchomp, eq, and arcanine faints.
Other trainer sends in Steelix.
Garchomp uses SD, steelix uses gyro ball/iron tail (don't remember).
Steelix's quick claw activates. Steelix uses gyro ball/iron tail, its a CRITICAL HIT. GARCHOMP FAINTED.
I send in scizor.
Scizor uses Superpower twice to kill Steelix.
Other trainer sends in Heracross
-2 atk, -2 def scizor locked into superpower vs. heracross, gg
