Heya, first time poster here. I'm Ash (no, seriously, my name is Ash) and I've played pokemon on and off since gen 1, though I only recently got in to the Battle Subway and making competitive pokemon (though I've never had a battle with another person yet).
I've been breeding tons of pokemon for the subway and really enjoy making up different teams to play with.
My fav pokemon for the subway is timid Gengar @ focus sash as lead, thanks to destiny bond he can 2 for 1 most teams leaving me with major advantage.
My other favorite is jolly Infernape @ focus sash with Fake Out, Close Combat, U-turn and Flare Blitz.
Fake Out is an epic move which lets me check if I can kill their pokemon with a Close Combat. Close Combat's cost goes away if I U-turn as well which is handy (and if I U-turn out and swap in later, I can Fake out again, gotta love recycling free damage). With Infernape's Blaze ability, if I get sash'ed to 1 HP, Flare Blitz become really damn powerful and can kill most opponents. Usually I run this with bulky pokemon that cover Infernape's weaknesses so I don't take much damage upon swapping in with u-turn (such as Ferrothorn, Garchomp, etc).
Okay, on to my streak and team
The member of my team were -
Volcorona (Nickname Pending) @ Focus Sash
Flame Body
Modest
EVs:6/0/0/252/0/252
Fiery Dance
Quiver Dance
Physic
Bug Buzz
Awesome lead that can sweep teams if it can get off a Quiver Dance or can luck in to a boost from Fiery Dance. Physic is there to get rid of Fighting threats to my team like Conkeldurr and Machamp.
Ferrothorn (Auntie Dot) @ Leftovers
Iron Barbs
Impish
255/0/100/0/155/0 (I was a noob when I made this guy, thats why the EVs are off)
Toxic
Power Whip
Leech Seed
Protect
I know, its a bit of a different built to most of the Ferrothorns I've seen posted on this thread, but I like it. Leech Seed is the move I primarily use, as well as Protect for scouting and effectivly doubling the effects of leftovers, leech seed and toxic. Power Whip is there for killing water types, who can otherwise mess up my team. Covers Chomp's Ice weakness and Volcorona's rock/water weakness.
Garchomp (Chompers) @ Life Orb
Sand Veil
Jolly
6/252/0/0/0/252
Outrage
Fire Fang
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Pretty basic build for a Chomp, covers Ferrothorn's fire weakness and Volcorona's rock weakness
Overall its a decent team, I mostly built it because I had just finished making up a Volcorona and wanted to test it out, he was better than I thought, though the rock weakness can be quite an annoyance.
Right now I'm trying to come up with a good team using a Gengar lead. I've put Garchomp in too and recently made a Metagross which is quite fun to play with (I'm a giant fan of any pokemon with a priority, and on a Metagross it is quite powerful). Any suggestions for a Gengar team or the Volcorona team would be greatly appreciated. :)

Haha, managed to get a slightly higher streak the day after i posted about my first streak.
Gengar @ Focus Sash
Levitate
Timid
6/0/0/252/0/252
Shadow Ball
Energy Ball
Thunder Bolt
Destiny Bond
Garchomp (Chompers) @ Life Orb
Sand Veil
Jolly
6/252/0/0/0/252
Outrage
Fire Fang
Earthquake
Stone Edge
Metagross @ Leftovers
Clear Body
Adamant
252/252/6/0/0/0
Meteor Mash
Bullet Punch
Zen Headbutt
Brick Break
Sorry, its a bit hard to see as my laptop's webcam isn't that good, but it's a 98 streak.
Mostly was trying Metagross out, to be honest, he isn't even that good, just a tank pokemon with good typing that has a priority. Considering trying it with Wide Lens because I had some problems with Meteor Mash and Zen Headbutt missing.
How I lost -
Battle VS Nurse Saisune
Nurse Saisune sends out Cryogonal
Meep sends out Gengar
Meep recalls Gengar, Meep sends out Metagross
Cryogonal used Icy Wind, its not very effective
Metagross recovers with leftovers (on 169/180 hp)
Cryogonal used Hail, it started to hail
Metagross used Meteor Mash, it was super effective
Cryogonal hung on with Focus Sash
Metagross is buffeted by the hail
Metagross recovers with Leftovers
Metagross used Bullet Punch
Cryogonal fainted
Metagross is buffeted by the hail
Metagross recovers with Leftovers
Nurse Saisune sends out Marowak
This is where I made a mistake and didn't swap out to Gengar, I thought Metagross could survive a Ground move, apparently not.
Marowak used Earthquake, its super effective
Metagross fainted
Marowak is buffeted by the hail
Meep sends out Chompers
Chompers used Outrage (Marowak is like on like 1 HP)
Marowak used Outrage, its super effective (fffuuuuuuu-)
Chompers fainted
Marowak is buffeted by the hail
Marowak fainted
Meep sends out Gengar
Nurse Saisune sends out Emboar
Gengar used Shadow Ball (does about 3/5)
Emboar used Substitute
Emboar's Salac Berry raised it's speed (cry)
Emboar made a substitute
The hail stopped
Emboar used Flamethrower
Gengar hung on with Focus Sash
Gengar used Shadow Ball
Emboar's substitute faded
Emboar used Flamethrower
Meep lost the game.
Aw well, I didn't quite make it to 100 (which was my goal), but I got pretty damn close with 98, perhaps next time.
