After many, many experiments, I finally got a Rain Team online. For something that is the "best" weather in the game, this archetype feels pretty finicky, perhaps because I can't pick my leads in the Battle Tower (seriously, GameFreak? For 6 generations you can't do that?) Kingdra @ Life Orb...

Finally, a second team has reached the 105-win benchmark. This time, I built a team around Torkoal and Trick Room, since this is one of the rare times I get to have fun with Eruption + Sun. Hariyama @ Flame Orb Ability: Guts Level: 50 EVs: 36 HP / 220 Atk / 252 SpD Brave Nature IVs: 0...

My win streak ended at 150 as I tried out a SunRoom team. Cresselia and Gastrodon got PP-stalled by Zapdos. Torkoal was the only mon that can inflict more than 50% damage on Zapdos and with Bright Powder and Double Team sometimes not even it can work.

I've got the first team reaching the 105 benchmark on Master Class Doubles. As usual, I gravitate towards a Tailwind team. Latios (M) @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate Level: 50 EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Thunderbolt - Dragon Pulse - Tailwind - Psychic...

Began the Master Class and it's interesting. Here are my first thought about it. Compared to Gen V Battle Subway, the power level is indeed lower, since we don't have the genies or Excadrill to push the non-restricted meta. That, or the lower variety means there are fewer matchups that you have...

The VS Recorder in your Key Items

Alright, the trash mob has been dealt with, now I'll move on to the Master Class. This team has served me pretty well so far, but as usual I won't be posting the details until they clear 105 streak.

Thank you, I'll keep this in mind. Right now I'm dealing with the trash mob.

Is it feasible to have Hitmontop learn both Sucker Punch and High Jump Kick?

Ooh that's nice. I'll plan on grinding the tower sometime... hopefully.

I wanna try out BDSP Battle Tower, but I remember that in DPPt you have to go through a bunch of scrubs to get to the quality opponents. Is this the same in BDSP?

The Rain team has reached the 105 benchmark, finally proven to be a worthy team in my eyes. Kingdra @ Life Orb Modest, Swift Swim 68 HP, 4 Def, 236 Atk, 4 SpDef, 196 Spe Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Surf, Protect The main damage dealer, spamming Surf under Rain. It regretably spent too much...

Rain team's win streak ended at 90 I got Politoed and Kingdra facing against Latias and Tornadus. Tornadus has already confused Politoed with Hurricane. I decided that Draco Meteor is less risky than Helping Hand + Dragon Pulse, so I withdrew Politoed for Scizor. Kingdra missed with Draco...

My own Rain team is shaping up nicely. Currently got 70 wins with this team. That's 2/3 of my 105 benchmark.

I think Brave Tyranitar could work. Have you also considered Curse in its movement? The problem I have with Tyranitar is that before gen VII its STAB moves have pretty low Power so its damage output is lower than its stats indicate.

After falling out of love with the Sand Rush team I've decided to build a ZapChomp team. Zapdos @ Yache Berry Pressure Ability Modest Nature 252HP 4Def 140SpAtk 4SpDef 108Spe Tailwind Discharge Thunderbolt HeatWave Standard bulky Zapdos. The 108 Speed EV allows it to outspeed base 80 neutral...

Reached the 105 benchmark with this team. I'll be switching to a Sand team now.

It would certainly help secure KOs on Chople Tyranitar and Bisharp. I think as long as I still have Metagross on the team, Scrafty will use Protect over Taunt.

Winning streak ended at 76. Metagross' Explosion barely failed to KO Slowbro and Hippowdon, allowing Slowbro to Trick Room. An unlucky freeze on Scrafty forced my Jellicent to fight a 1v2 in Trick Room. In hindsight, I should've sent Jellicent after Latios went down. Water Spout + Crunch (at...

Returning to the B2W2 Battle Subway, I'm building a team for the Super Double Train revolving around Jellicent. Jellicent @ Water Gem Water Absorb Ability Modest Nature 4 HP, 252 SpAtk, 252 Spe Shadow Ball, Protect, Ice Beam, Water Spout. This is the centerpiece of the team. Gem-boosted...
