I was pretty much using the same team I was using previously to reach 300ish wins (Bronzong, Duskull, Dusknoir), except that I had Pain Split instead of Forsight on Duskull. It made some battles easier, and provided some extra CP to throw around. I could skip every single battle that showed up with a Rock Slide lead, and still profit in the long run.

The problem with the team, however, would be that any small mistake will quickly send the team to its death. You have to prepare, calculate, and play out each battle in your head before executing the actions in battle. And also know when the risk isn't worth it, and to skip. Too many times I just forget about something like Zapdos 2 having Twister, and the CPU immediately sees it as an opportunity to luck hax me. I can see the team going a lot farther than 300, but the amount of attention I have to give to each battle is way more than what I have to put in for Battle Hall or Battle Tower battles.

I've been taking a bit of break from Frontier/Subway stuffs again since I haven't been able to get much further than 300 wins in Subway or Tower as of late. I'll likely give another shot at Castle when I return.
