Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Dammit, this is what I get for trying to write up teams from memory while on an airplane without my DS and posting on crappy intermittent hotel internet at night. Lemme figure this out here. I think I completely screwed up some things... I think this is correct now? I'll check when I get...
However, the biggest problem with this team is Ice trainers. Particularly, Froslass. Stupid Froslass. So I had the same idea as Peterko and designed a team that can kill lead Froslass before it can set up Hail and/or kill me.

Next, I went back to the old standby with some slight changes for v3 of Infernape/Latios/Hydreigon/Metagross

Wow, looks like a bunch of people had similar ideas. The Garchomp/Aero/Rotom/Meta idea is interesting. I guess I'm due for a dump of a bunch of my teams. Still haven't quite gotten to 800 yet, but not for lack of trying.
After thousands of runs with Apre/latios/hydra/gross, my best result is...
Of course I say this and then I go and lose at to a TR Musharna + 3rd pokemon Abomasnow. =( Even worse is that this was completely avoidable since it was a Waitress and I could/should have known to kill the 100% TR Musharna first, but Abomasnow under TR is bad bad bad. Write up coming...
I've been playing latiape for the past several months now when I am traveling. It just works so well, especially as I get better at knowing the movesets. I've tweaked every team member since the first incarnation, but I finally think I have the right set up. DP/shock/bolt/protect still looks...
Clearly I've been obsessing over one team for too long, people are coming up with all the other fun stuff I came up with but haven't tested yet. Back over 500, and settled on Dpulse/Psyshock/tbolt/protect. I'll do a last big writeup when i lose this streak.
A big congrats to R Inanimate. I...
Meinshao/anything HJK, Specs Pory Hyperbeam, Headsmash Ramp/Archeops. There may have been a couple additions/subtraction and 'really bad' may be overstating it, but I seem to remember these being ugly matchups in particular.
I seem to lose a lot more in 1-49 than 49+ too Peterko. I blame lack...
Looking forward to see what you guys come up with. I agree, even with two dedicated setup pokemon Drapion still had several really bad matchups.
I confused the sets in that post, but I did get screwed in the past by Conkledurr 1 OHKOing Hydra because I couldn't kill it with Psyshock. In that...
Blah. Lost again at 333ish in embarrassing fashion. Hydration Rest/Stockpile/Surf/Rain Dance Dewgong is apparently really hard to kill if you give it a few turns to set up, who knew?
The master excel list is amazing, thanks again peterko. Using the find function I can quickly highlight all...
Hahaha, 6 snow cloak misses on #207. (Spoiler: I lost)
I can't decide if I hate Froslass12 (hail), Froslass4 (sash/D bond/Blizzard), or Weavile3 (Sash/fake out/protect/ice punch/night slash) more.
You know, I had no idea that Houndoom or Zoroark had sucker punch. I haven't been using the moveset list at all and must've avoided the those sets completely or gotten lucky. Odd. Haven't seen Yanmega use detect yet either, I think it tries to go for the OHKO against Latios and I kill it...
