So yeah this is my first post in that thread because it's the first time I've made it to at least 70. I'm kinda happy with that streak though. This is a 73 win streak in BW Battle Subway. (edit, forgot to mention it was singles.)

I made it to 73 win streak using this team: Scizor / Latios / Garchomp. Scizor works well with dragons because it easily beats opposing ice types and the dragons beat everything else etc. everyone knows what they do. I lost in a really terrible way so I'd like to let everyone know.

I send out Scizor, opponent sends out Dragonite.
Scizor uses Bullet Punch, Dragonite uses Fire Punch (bad play on my part, I should have learned the sets), Scizor is dead.
I send out Garchomp. Dragonite's Quick Claw activate, Dragonite uses Superpower, Garchomp uses Outrage, Dragonite is dead.
He sends out Lickylicky. Garchomp uses Outrage, Lickylicky uses Body Slam. Garchomp is confused & eats its Lum Berry.
Garchomp uses Earthquake, Garchomp MISSES, Lickylicky uses Power Whip, Garchomp is dead.
I send out Latios. Latios uses Psyshock, Latios MISSES, Lickylicky uses Explosion, Latios is dead
Defeat.

So yeah as you can see my opponent got its hax items to work 3 times in a 5 turns battles, which is incredibly lame, but I guess that's what I get for using non set-up teams or for not using Sandstorm with Garchomp.

Now on the team, here is what I've been using:

Scizor @ Choice Band
Adamant
Technician
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
-U-Turn
-Superpower
-Pursuit
-Bullet Punch
Pursuit might be weird, but I also use that Scizor for online battles, and besides, it hits Ghost for super effective which I guess can be cool with Technician. The Speed investment is very useful as I hit 100 speed at level 50 which is enough to outspeed more than half of everything in Subway, and pretty much everything else loses a huge amount of HP from max attack Bullet Punch. I lead with Scizor because I can U-Turn to break sashes and stuff like that and I can scout for easy set up for Garchomp etc.

Latios (LATIOS) @ Life Orb
Timid
Levitate
EVs: 6 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
-Draco Meteor
-Psyshock
-Thunderbolt
-Surf
I've been using that Latios for a very long time (since gen 4, hence the capitalized name) and it is a monster. Latios is probably the pokemon on this team that have the most kills and it oftens 3-0 opponents. It also saves me for that Starmie which has Ice Beam as it can take Surf+IB and strike back with Thunderbolt.

Garchomp @ Lum Berry
Jolly
Sand Veil
EVs: 6 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
-Outrage
-Earthquake
-Fire Fang
-Swords Dance
Garchomp is insane but mine has terrible IVs. It has the same speed at level 50 as my 31 IV max speed Hydreigon, which is a base 98 as opposed to 102. I should probably try to get a better one, but it's very long and I don't feel like it now. Lum Berry is incredibly useful against the sheer number of status pokemon there are.

Here is a proof of my streak :

my game is in french

I'm going to try to get a 3 digits win streak now, I'll tweak my team a little and will probably post again. Until then, farewell.
