Carl: Congrats on the the streak! I can't believe no one thought to combine those three on the team before, maybe because the idea of leading with Dragonite is off putting? Out of curiosity, I never feel right when my lead isn't a fast Special Attacker, a crippler, or someone like Cloyster who sets up in one turn, does anyone else ever feel like that? I guess one of my main fears of leading with a physical attacker is the possibilty of the opponent leading with an Intimidating Dragon Dancer like Gyarados or Salamence (well, only one Salamence set has DD) because I fear they'll set up when they force me to switch out my physical lead.

On another note I've toyed around with my Zapdos/Terrakion/Latios/Scizor team for awhile. It was getting somewhere, until I lost to my own misplay that lead to me getting owned by three blizzard hits, one that froze latios. I feel like there's a better teammate than Latios out there, but I cant seem to find it. Luckily, I'm going on a trip that includes a 4 hour car ride each way, so you can bet I'll be playing in the Subway the whole time.

On yet another note, I also wonder what you guys think about the viability of this set in a singles rain team for the subway:

Dragonite@Leftovers
Modest nature
Multiscale
EVs: 204 HP, 252 Sp Atk, 20 Def, 30 SpDef, 4 Speed
-Hurricane
-Thunder
-Dragon Pulse
-Thunderwave

This is kind of a bulky rain-abuse Dragonite same EVs as Jumpman's Dragonite, but with Special Attack rather than physical. I think all the attacks are self explanatory, Thunderwave is just for some support for Dragonite and it's likely partner Ferrothorn.

Anyways, good job on all your streaks everyone, and good look with future streaks!
