Finally decided to start playing the Subway again...

Battle Subway Super Singles streak: 90

...

Note: Streak done on a different game cart to previous streak

Nothing impressive, but might as well post it anyway.

Cloyster @ Focus Sash
Skill Link
Nature: Naughty
EVs: 252 Atk / 6 Sp Atk / 252 Spe
~Shell Smash
~Icicle Spear
~Rock Blast
~Surf

Full credit goes to Peterko for this Cloyster, it's an absolute beast and it makes playing the Subway a lot more entertaining.

Latios @ Choice Specs
Levitate
Nature: Timid
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Sp Atk / 252 Spe
~Draco Meteor
~Psychic
~Thunderbolt
~Dragon Pulse

Wrote about this Latios in my previous streak. I'd love to replace Thunderbolt with Thunder but the accuracy drop is too significant.

Metagross @ Choice Band
Clear Body
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
~Bullet Punch
~Earthquake
~Meteor Mash
~Hammer Arm

Powerful. Clear Body is useful for negating Intimidate. I hardly used Meteor Mash or Hammer Arm at all, the latter having very redundant coverage, but I don't really know what to replace them with, perhaps Thunderpunch/Rock Slide.

How I lost:
I was lucky enough to encounter hardly any hax during the streak, although this battle pretty much made up for it:

Battle 91

Other notable battles:

Battle 33

Battle 45

I think this team has a lot of potential, I'll probably use it again a few more times.
