Hi, 1st post here but long-time lurker.
I've been playing the Subway a lot (reached the 999:59 hour mark) but I was never able to get a decent streak. I don't use RNG so it's just breeding until I get something good.
I tried several teams listed here but always failed. Two days ago I finally started a streak worth mentioning in the Super Single Line. So far I'm at 91 wins.



Mamoswine @ Choice Scarf
IVs: 31/31/14/X/7/31
EVs: 6/252/0/0/0/252
Adamant Nature
Snow Cloak
~Ice Shard
~Icicle Spear
~Rock Slide
~Earthquake

He has terrible defense IV's but I decided to give it a go. Ice Shard and Rock Slide are not used often. Ice Shard helped me a few times when I had to switch Mamoswine out. I don't have acces to 4th Gen (yet) so Superpower is not an option. I used Icicle Spear over Icicle Crash for Focus Sash. Despite his low defenses he survives most neutral hits. When Thick Fat is released (a female one to breed), he would work even better. Snow Cloak is ok, but very rarely useful in the Subway.



Togekiss @ Leftovers
IVs: 31/X/27/4/31/31
EVs: 252/0/0/100/0/158
Timid Nature
Serene Grace
~Nasty Plot
~Aura Sphere
~Flamethrower
~Air Slash

Well, first things first: I just realized I messed up with vitamins. The speed stat should be 252. Despite that mistake, he has worked wonders so far thanks to Serene Grace and Air Slash. When I change the EV's, It'll work even better. The Sp. Att IV is rubbish but I have Nasty Plot anyway and I couldn't resist using those great defensive IV's.



Garchomp @ Focus Sash
IVs: 25/31/21/X/6/31
EVs: 6/252/0/0/0/252
Jolly Nature
Sand Veil
~Outrage
~Rock Slide
~Earthquake
~Protect

Rock Slide and Protect are rarely used. In fact, Garchomp is rarely used. Mamoswine and Togekiss are mostly getting the job done (Is this even good English?) It's again raw power that does it. Focus Sash is crucial to fire off at least one hit. Rock Slide is only used when I really need to rely on flinchhax to win the match.

Problems so far:

Trick Room Bronzong: not really a problem problem but an annoyance nonetheless. When he's the first Poké, it's guessing wheter he has Levitate or Heatproof. Togekiss can handle him when Trick Room is up but it takes time and patience.

Quick Claw Glaceon: He's just a bitch. Period.

Ice/Water types in General: If there's a powerful Ice or Water type. I usually sack Mamoswine by just attacking and do as much damage as possible. Togekiss can handle it afterwards.

Until now I haven't come across Choice Scarf Guillotine Pinsir or Choice Scarf Entei. I don't know how this team will do against those.

I'm well aware I've been extremely lucky up to now. Not having a Grass, Water or Electric move on the team is somewhat risky. Tips are always welcome.

Edit: and it ended at exact at 100 Wins against Wailord, Rapidash and Whiscash.

Mamoswine Earthquake, Wailord Hydro Pump. Mamo KO
Togekiss Air Slash. Wailord KO
Rapidash Flare Blitz, Togekiss Air Slash
Rapidash Flare Blitz and survives with 1 HP, Togekiss KO
Rapidash Iron Tail, Garchomp Earthquake. Rapidash KO
Garchomp Earthquake. Whiscash Fissure. Garchomp KO

I will try this team again, losing to Fissure is just lousy. I thought I had a webcam to prove it, but computer says no. I'll add a picture as soon as possible.
