(team writeup here)
I never planned on posting a 2k streak with my triples team back when I was hoping to hit that number in that format, because I didn't want to tie Mercury or beat him by only a couple battles... the number I was planning on posting was either 2105 (my birthday) or the same number I hit here. Since this team is named after a Rush song too, this number is equally appropriate here for posting the 2k+ streak... Just for today, team Marathon will be named after a different Rush song.
I honestly don't have too many words handy right now, but since is the 2k post for this team, I'm just gonna leave something here that I had been meaning to include in my 1k (yes, I totally could have made that one longer... but the character limit exists :T) It's my almost-but-not-completely comprehensive list of "what to do against lead X," so if anyone is wondering how a team that manages to hit 2k with a freaking Mega Gyarados would even work and is able to make sense of my hastily written thoughts, enjoy. There are still a couple entries missing for rarer leads, but then again, this is the kind of list that's never finalised—even now I'm still on a very rare occasion figuring out better tactics. A significant one happened even in like the 1900s iirc, concerning Slowbro and Slowking and also Greninja—my usual play against the Slowthings was setting up Aegislash within one TR cycle (i.e. one round of KS recovery possible), which leaves Aegislash at a little below 50% and therefore helpless against a second mon Greninja (maybe unless a lot of low damage rolls, don't recall the details, but w/e), and when all is said and done Greninja can still get pretty annoying if it haxes Gyarados. My first idea was to just stall for a couple more rounds of KS recovery and therefore beat the Slowthings when TR was still up and be able to smash any second mon Greninja with Iron Head—but why wouldn't I just actually set up Gyarados on them? Even a partially set up Gyarados is a lot harder for the AI to take down than a fully set up Aegislash, and the Slowthings open with TR in 99% of cases (in the event of that final percent you can just set up Aegislash anyway I guess...), so that would allow a setup of using Sub as the Slowthing sets up TR, Mega Evolving and setting up a first DD on the predicted Psychic, setting up a second DD on the first Surf, setting up a new Sub after the second Surf breaks the first one (a crit Surf never breaks the Sub and it always breaks to two Surfs, how great is that?), setting up a third DD on the third Surf, and KOing the Slowthing after TR runs out—which is a better setup than a 50% (or whatever) +6 Aegislash. Right, here it is for real.
I actually hit 2k. Seven or eight months overdue and with a different team, granted, but the number is actually here. Can I just have a moment to say how happy I am for having hit this number after all, after burning out as bad as I did on my way there with team Clockwork Angels and being just generally way out of shape afterwards? I outlined the details in my 1k already, and honestly, I really felt as if I was a mediocre player who had just happened to have a really lucky month... but I guess I'm back at it. It's funny how this is a repetition of events—I was so confident triples was the format where I'd be getting the Starf Berry, but I ended up getting it in Rotations of all formats, which was my very first "did I actually just do this" moment, and now I'm not hitting 2k in triples but in singles.
The cute number drought that I mentioned in my previous post is for the most part over. There's been 2k, there's been 2^11, there's been my birthday, there's been this—but the actual big fish and the actual numbers that I really want to hit are still coming up. Wish me luck guys, the marathon continues.

Right, here it is for real.
This is largely based off the list I included with my Greninja writeup and therefore not comprehensive by a long shot... I intend it to be eventually, but right now there's still a lot of non-set4 Pokemon missing. Those will be filled out in due time as I'll be forced to figure out strategies for them, and naturally the other ones will be amended too as comes to mind (heck, I wrote a significant portion already when I was hoping to include this with my 1k, so it's pretty likely that it still holds some outdated entries as is x__x) Also, these were jotted down kinda quickly, so apologies in advance for any colloquial grammar or entries that must be reread a couple times. Nevertheless, this should give a decent idea of what the team can do and how it generally functions.
Venusaur1234: go to Gliscor. If set 1, set up a Sub to discourage it from using status moves, go back to Gyarados, and set up a Sub and six DDs; if set 2, switch-stall it out of Roar and either both Power Whip and Venoshock or Earthquake by always going to Aegislash from Gyarados or Gliscor and to Gyarados from Aegislash, and set up either Aegislash or Gyarados after either of these combinations has been stalled; if set 3, go to Aegislash and set up fully; if set 4, see below.
Venusaur4: switch to Gliscor and stall Sludge Bomb; then, make sure you have up a Sub to discourage it from using Leech Seed, go back to Gyarados, and set up a Sub and six Dragon Dances; alternatively, switch-stall Sludge Bomb and Leech Seed between Aegislash and Gliscor, and then go back to Gyarados.
Charizard1234: straight Waterfall OHKO.
Charizard34: straight Waterfall OHKO.
Charizard4: Mega Evolve + DD + Waterfall OHKO; if Air Slash flinch, go to Gliscor on the Focus Blast, stall Heat Wave, and go to Aegislash and set up fully (preferably after Gliscor has gotten back to somewhat safer health)
Blastoise1234: go to Aegislash. If set 1, go to Gliscor after dropping its Attack a couple stages with King's Shield, stall both Aqua Tail and Rock Slide, go to Gyarados and set up a Sub and six DDs; if set 2, set up Aegislash (possibly switch back and forth to Gyarados to tank a final Hydro Pump if at low HP, and if Aegislash faints to crits, PP stall Blastoise dry with Gliscor and set up Gyarados) and IH + SS KO; if set 3, go to Gliscor, stall Aqua Tail and Avalanche, and fully set up Gyarados; if set 4, see below.
Blastoise4: go to Aegislash, go to Gliscor, stall Waterfall, KO with Earthquakes and don't waste too many subs because it can't touch you anyway and Gyarados or Kingdra might show up.
Raichu4: go to Gliscor, straight Toxic; it can't touch you but will use Encore, so yeah. After three turns, switch back and forth to Aegislash, and set up a free Sub on the turn Raichu succumbs to Toxic damage.
Nidoqueen4: drop its Attack via Intimidate switches; go to Gliscor on its ninth Earthquake; stall Poison Jab; pivot back to Gyarados via Aegislash; don't Mega Evolve, set up a Sub, and boost to +6.
Nidoking4: switch between Gyarados and Aegislash to stall it out of Earthquake PP, fully set up Aegislash.
Ninetales4: Sub first, make sure you get two DDs, but don't sweat it if it boosts and you therefore cannot come out on top with a Sub; KO Flash Fire variants with +2 non-Mega Waterfall, KO Drought variants with +2 Mega Crunch.

Tentacruel4: Mega Evolve + Sub, set up as far as possible (usually fully cause gotta love liberal Protect usage)
Golem4: switch between Aegislash and Gyarados while using KS to try stalling out Earthquake PP; if you succeed, great, fully set up Aegislash, if it blows up before it runs out of Earthquake PP, too bad.
Rapidash4: non-Mega DD once, Waterfall KO.
Slowbro4: Sub as it sets up TR, Mega Evolve + DD as it uses Psychic, DD once as it attacks the Sub with Surf, set up a new Sub as it breaks the old one, DD once as it attacks the Sub with Surf, Crunch KO before it resets TR. Alternatively, or in the extraordinarily unlikely event that it uses Psychic on turn 1 (happened once for both Slowbro and Slowking combined in, at the time of writing, almost 3k battles), go to Aegislash and set up fully during one TR cycle.
Dewgong4: go to Gliscor, Sub / Protect stall Surf, fully set up Gyarados.
Muk4: go to Aegislash, set up fully.
Gengar4: go to Gliscor on Thunderbolt, Sub / Protect stall Shadow Ball, switch stall Sludge Bomb and most of Thunderbolt PP between Aegislash and Gliscor, wait out the last couple of Thunderbolt PP with Gliscor, go back to Gyarados after it wastes its final PP, and set up a Sub and two DDs as it Struggles to death.
Electrode4: switch to Gliscor, Sub, Earthquake KO (even Sub at risk of Taunt because if it Taunts that turn you'll at least burn one of your Taunt turns)
Exeggutor4: go to Aegislash, set up fully.
Marowak4: use Intimidate switches, and see what move it's using most. If it's easiest to (switch) stall it out of Earthquake, do so, and fully set up Aegislash and KO with Sneak; alternatively, go to Gliscor and KO with Earthquakes while maintaining a Sub.

Gyarados4: win the boosting war.
Lapras4: go to Aegislash, switch back to Gyarados as Perish count reaches 1 to reset the battle.

Vaporeon3: straight switch to Gliscor on Yawn, stall Blizzard + Muddy Water, fully set up Gyarados.
Vaporeon4: go to Aegislash on Ice Beam, go to Gliscor on Shadow Ball, stall Ice Beam, stall until given room to inflict Toxic, wait until it dies, don't bother too much trying to maintain a Sub.

Flareon12: identified as set 1 or 2 by lack of White Herb, Sub, fully set up if set 2, DD once + 2HKO if set 1.
Flareon34: identified as set 3 or 4 by triggering White Herb, Sub, set up as many DDs as allowed by stat drops or straight Waterfall OHKO if you're lazy)

Zapdos1234: go to Gliscor, proceed appropriately.
Moltres12: set identified by White Herb or lack thereof; if set 2, bounce Sky Attack off Aegislash, go back to Gyarados on Fire Blast, go to Gliscor as it charges for a second Sky Attack, Protect, Sub / Protect stall Fire Blast, Toxic. If set 1, DD once; Waterfall KO if it uses Air Slash and Gyarados didn't flinch, just hammer away if it uses Tailwind / WoW, will outline this more clearly soon
Moltres34: non-Mega DD; if set 3 sets up Sunny Day, DD again and Waterfall OHKO, otherwise +1 Waterfall OHKO.
Moltres234: DD once, proceed appropriately (+1 Waterfall OHKO on set 2, if Sky Attack flinch just go straight to Gliscor)
Dragonite4: go to Aegislash, KS, go back to Gyarados, +2 Mega Crunch OHKO.
Meganium1234: go to Gliscor; if set 3, stall Seed Bomb and fully set up Gyarados; otherwise, stall the appropriate move and set up Gyarados (make sure you have a Sub up while switching out of sets 1 and 4 so as to discourage the use of status moves)

Ampharos4: switch to Gliscor, Earthquake KO with unbroken sub.
Politoed4: Mega Evolve + Sub, if the Sub survives go to Gliscor, stall all attacking PP, fully set up Gyarados; if the Sub breaks, sack Aegislash before going to Gliscor.
Quagsire4: use Intimidate switches to drop its Attack all the way to -6 even while it sets up six Curses; then, set up a Sub and six DDs with Gyarados and like 5HKO it with (non-Mega) Crunch or (if Unaware) chip away at it with non-Mega Crunch and 2HKO it with Mega Crunch.
Espeon4: go to Aegislash, +2 Sneak KO
Umbreon4: go to Gliscor, stall its attacking PP, go back to Gyarados, set up fully
Slowking4: Sub as it sets up TR, Mega Evolve + DD as it uses Psychic, DD once as it attacks the Sub with Surf, set up a new Sub as it breaks the old one, DD once as it attacks the Sub with Surf, Crunch KO before it resets TR. Alternatively, or in the extraordinarily unlikely event that it uses Psychic on turn 1 (happened once for both Slowbro and Slowking combined in, at the time of writing, almost 3k battles), go to Aegislash and set up fully during one TR cycle.
Forretress4: go to Aegislash, set up fully.
Steelix4: go to Gliscor, Sub / Protect until you get a free Sub from Swagger / Curse and KO with Earthquakes.

Skarmory4: batter away at it with Gyarados and Aegislash until it's dead, usually comes down to Waterfall 3HKO.
Houndoom4: +1 non-Mega Waterfall KO
Kingdra4: take advantage of its tendency to use Protect every other turn by dropping its SpA by having its Meteors bounce off Aegislash; if it uses Surf as you switch back to Gyarados and its SpA has already been dropped at least once, feel free to Mega Evolve and DD once (it'll probably use Protect) and have the remaining Meteors bounce off the Subs. Set up Mega Gyarados as far as possible.
Donphan4: switch-stall EdgeQuake PP, Sub / Protect stall Seed Bomb PP, set up non-mega Gyarados
Porygon2: switch to Gliscor, stall Tri Attack, Toxic

Entei12: Pressure Speed tier confirms set; if set 1, go to Gliscor on the Stone Edge, stall its dangerous moves, Toxic stall; if set 2, Mega Evolve, throw up a Sub, and set up as far as possible. If Flash Fire, assume set 2.
Entei34: again, Pressure confirms set via message order. Set 3 will use Solar Beam (iirc?), so that would mean you can go to Aegislash or Gliscor and PP stall it... if that's too risky, immediate Waterfall will gimp potential Eruption and allow Gyarados to set up safely if it's indeed Eruption, but if it's Solar Beam, Gyarados won't be able to set up properly before it Struggles to death, so you'll have to set up Gliscor instead. If set 4, Mega Evolve + DD once + Waterfall OHKO. If Flash Fire, assume set 4.
Entei1234: Mega Evolve + Sub, proceed appropriately
Suicune12: Mega Evolve + Sub + set up as far as possible, Crunch 2HKO
Suicune34: Mega Evolve + Sub + set up as far as possible, Crunch 2HKO
Suicune1234: Mega Evolve + Sub + set up as far as possible, Crunch 2HKO
Tyranitar4: switch to Gliscor, Intimdate stat drop prevents Rock Slide from breaking Sub, KO with Earthquakes.
Sceptile4: go to Aegislash, set up fully; if you're unlucky with SpD drops, switch-stalling Energy Ball and Leech Seed is feasible.
Blaziken1234: go to Aegislash; if set 1 and it doesn't Wisp, aim to KO with +2 Head + Sneak; if set 1 and it does Wisp go to Gliscor and Toxic stall; if set 2 without Speed Boost, KS, go back to Gyarados, and KO with +1 Waterfall; if set 2 with Speed Boost, go to Gliscor, and KO with Toxic + Earthquake; if it uses Thunder Punch, KS and go to Gliscor; if it's set 3 set up a Sub as it switches out, if it's set 4 see below.
Blaziken4: go to Gliscor, Sub / Protect stall to KO it via Flare Blitz recoil and finish it off with Earthquake.
Swampert1234: go to Aegislash; if set 4 see below, if set 3 switch / KS stall EdgeQuake PP and fully set up Gyarados, if set 2 go to Gliscor, Sub / Protect stall its attacking PP, and fully set up Gyarados, if set 1 switch-stall it out of Roar PP (by switching to a Ground-immune Pokemon after every turn) and fully set up Gyarados.
Swampert4: use Intimidate switches to drop its Attack all the way to -6 even while it sets up six Curses; then, set up a Sub and six DDs with Gyarados and 3HKO it with Waterfall while it Rests.
Ludicolo4: go to Aegislash, KO with +2 Head + Sneak. Usually should waste time with Fake Out and Leech Seed, but very sketchy matchup x___x +1 Mega Crunch OHKO works too (and is most likely the safer option all things considered), but you'll either take significant damage or get Leech Seeded.
Shiftry4: Intimidate stall down to -6, Sub / Protect stall Low Kick, fully set up Gyarados
Gardevoir4: go to Gliscor on Thunderbolt, go to Aegislash on Moonblast, +2 Sneak KO
Breloom4: go to Gliscor; if Poison Heal, stall Focus Punch and fully set up Gyarados; if not, wait for it to die and aim to come out on top with a Sub.

Flygon4: switch / KS stall EdgeQuake, Sub / Protect stall Outrage, fully set up Gyarados on Crunch.
Altaria4: go to Aegislash, get it put to sleep, go to Gliscor, go back to Aegislash, spam KS until it wakes up, go back to Gliscor, Toxic stall
Whiscash4: switch to Gliscor, stall Muddy Water, fully set up non-Mega Gyarados.
Claydol4: switch between Aegislash and Gyarados while using KS to try stalling out Earthquake PP; if you succeed, great, fully set up Aegislash, if it blows up before it runs out of Earthquake PP, too bad.
Cradily4: go to Gliscor, stall Giga Drain, fully set up Gyarados.
Armaldo4: go to Aegislash, set up fully.
Milotic4: Mega Evolve + Sub + set up as far as possible; if Competitive, sack Aegislash, stall its attacking PP with Gliscor, and fully set up Gyarados.
Absol4: Mega Evolve + DD; if it sets up a Sub, great, stall Punishment and set up fully; if it doesn't, burn fodder Gyarados or Aegislash before bringing in Gliscor and aim to get rid of Punishment PP before KOing it with Earthquakes from behind a Sub. Always switch out right away if Gliscor get hits by Swagger and Absol still has Punishment PP remaining.
Walrein4: fully set up non-Mega Gyarados while dodging Sheer Cold with Substitute; if too many Sheer Colds hit, sack Aegislash, and also make it waste all its Sleep Talk PP before attacking because +6 non-Mega Crunch doesn't KO.
Salamence3: Intimidate stall down to -6, Sub / Protect stall Dragon Rush and Outrage, fully setup non-Mega Gyarados.

Regice34: go to Gliscor, if set 3 stall Ice Beam, switch stall Charge Beam, and fully set up Gyarados, if set 4 stall Blizzard and Toxic stall
Regice1234: go to Gliscor, proceed appropriately

Registeel1234: go to Gliscor, proceed appropriately
Latias12: go to Gliscor; if set 1, stall it out of its attacking PP and set up Gyarados; if set 2, have its Meteors bounce off Aegislash, go back to Gliscor after lowering its SpA, and Toxic stall.
Latias34: go to Gliscor; set 3 will lock into Thunderbolt so throw up a Sub as it switches out, straight Toxic on set 4.
Latias1234: go to Gliscor, proceed accordingly
Latios12: go to Gliscor; if set 1, stall it out of its attacking PP and set up Gyarados; if set 2,
capitalise on its tendency to alternate Protect and attacking moves: use Protect; if it uses Protect too, bounce the incoming DM off Aegislash, if it uses DM, set up the requisite Sub on the following Protect. Stall Meteor and Toxic stall.
Latios34: go to Gliscor; set 3 will lock into Thunder so throw up a Sub as it switches out, straight Toxic on set 4.
Latios1234: go to Gliscor, proceed accordingly
Torterra4: don't Mega Evolve, throw up a Sub, and set up fully.
Infernape4: switch in Gliscor on Fake Out, Protect, go to Aegislash on (hopefully) baited Encore, King's Shield to lower its Attack, go to Gyarados on (hopefully) baited Encore, DD once, Waterfall 2HKO (or OHKO if it did use FB at some point and break its own Focus Sash)
Empoleon4: Mega Evolve + Sub + set up DDs, you usually should be able to get two of them, KO with Crunch.
Staraptor34: go to Aegislash, set up fully.
Luxray1234: go to Gliscor; if set 1, Sub + Earthquake KO; if set 2, Earthquake (it'll always Roar out Gliscor, and obviously it's always safe to switch back to Gliscor); if set 3 or 4, see below.
Luxray34: go to Gliscor, stall Ice Fang, Toxic
Roserade4: go to Gliscor, stall nine Giga Drains and make sure you have a Sub up, go back to Gyarados on the tenth, set up a Sub and six DDs.

Togekiss4: go to Aegislash, straight Iron Head KO; if it crits, go to Gliscor and Toxic stall

Seismitoad4: go to Aegislash, go back to Gyarados as it uses Dig, DD to waste a turn; rinse and repeat until its Attack is at -6, and set up a Sub and six DDs with non-Mega Gyarados, using the Speed advantage gained from using DD on its Dig turn to set up the Sub before potential Poison Touch shenanigans.

If its attack hits and set 1 is confirmed, OHKO with non-Mega Waterfall after LO recoil. If set 2, go to Aegislash and spam King's Shield until either Hurricane PP is gone or Aegislash faints.

Entei12: Pressure Speed tier confirms set; if set 1, go to Gliscor on the Stone Edge, stall its dangerous moves, Toxic stall; if set 2, Mega Evolve, throw up a Sub, and set up as far as possible. If Flash Fire, assume set 2.
Entei34: again, Pressure confirms set via message order. Set 3 will use Solar Beam (iirc?), so that would mean you can go to Aegislash or Gliscor and PP stall it... if that's too risky, immediate Waterfall will gimp potential Eruption and allow Gyarados to set up safely if it's indeed Eruption, but if it's Solar Beam, Gyarados won't be able to set up properly before it Struggles to death, so you'll have to set up Gliscor instead. If set 4, Mega Evolve + DD once + Waterfall OHKO. If Flash Fire, assume set 4.
Entei1234: Mega Evolve + Sub, proceed appropriately
Suicune12: Mega Evolve + Sub + set up as far as possible, Crunch 2HKO

Blaziken1234: go to Aegislash; if set 1 and it doesn't Wisp, aim to KO with +2 Head + Sneak; if set 1 and it does Wisp go to Gliscor and Toxic stall; if set 2 without Speed Boost, KS, go back to Gyarados, and KO with +1 Waterfall; if set 2 with Speed Boost, go to Gliscor, and KO with Toxic + Earthquake; if it uses Thunder Punch, KS and go to Gliscor; if it's set 3 set up a Sub as it switches out, if it's set 4 see below.

Ludicolo4: go to Aegislash, KO with +2 Head + Sneak. Usually should waste time with Fake Out and Leech Seed, but very sketchy matchup x___x +1 Mega Crunch OHKO works too (and is most likely the safer option all things considered), but you'll either take significant damage or get Leech Seeded.

Always switch out right away if Gliscor get hits by Swagger and Absol still has Punishment PP remaining.

Empoleon4: Mega Evolve + Sub + set up DDs, you usually should be able to get two of them, KO with Crunch.
Staraptor34: go to Aegislash, set up fully.
Luxray1234: go to Gliscor; if set 1, Sub + Earthquake KO; if set 2, Earthquake (it'll always Roar out Gliscor, and obviously it's always safe to switch back to Gliscor); if set 3 or 4, see below.

Honchkrow4: go to Gliscor, use Sub / Protect until it uses Sucker Punch, Toxic stall
Skuntank4: lol. Just go to Gliscor I guess, this piece of shit uses randomly any move against Gyarados and naturally becomes even more likely to use Fire Blast when at -3 Attack from KS so yeah...
Bronzong4: PP stall it by waiting it out with Aegislash and Sub / Protect stalling with Gliscor, fully set up Gyarados.
Spiritomb4: if Pressure, set up a Sub and six DDs. If Infiltrator, get Aegislash burned, go to Gliscor, and Toxic stall it.

Repeat five times, switch-stall the remaining Earthquake and Ice Punch PP between Aegislash and Gliscor, possibly have Aegislash take a Fire Punch to unfreeze it if you're into that sort of thing, and then KO the -6 Electivire with Gliscor while making sure to come out on top with a Sub.

Togekiss4: go to Aegislash, straight Iron Head KO; if it crits, go to Gliscor and Toxic stall

Heatran34: set 4 SHOULD use Dragon Pulse? iirc.... Off the top of my head, go to Aegislash, if set 3 sets up Sunny Day, sack it and set up Gyarados after stalling Solar Beam + Fire Blast, if set 4 uses Dragon Pulse set up on it..... but not sure lol

Serperior4: go to Aegislash, stall Leaf Storm. Aegislash can set up fully on Overgrow sets but will (unless you're lucky with double King's Shields) faint against Contrary sets, so against those you can set up Gyara instead for +3 and a Sub, which usually is fine.
Emboar4: non-Mega DD once, Waterfall OHKO / 2HKO if it uses Sub.
Samurott4: go to Aegislash, set up fully; try to PP stall Hydro Pump by alternating Protect turns with it, which /usually/ works out fine, and if it doesn't, switch back to Gyarados to burn a final PP. At +6, Iron Head + Shadow Sneak KO.

Seismitoad4: go to Aegislash, go back to Gyarados as it uses Dig, DD to waste a turn; rinse and repeat until its Attack is at -6, and set up a Sub and six DDs with non-Mega Gyarados, using the Speed advantage gained from using DD on its Dig turn to set up the Sub before potential Poison Touch shenanigans.

Carracosta4: switch stall Rock Slide and Earthquake while dropping its Attack all the way down, Sub + Mega Evolve, set up six Dragon Dances.

Golurk4: go to Gliscor, 3HKO with Earthquake while maintaining a Sub.

Braviary4: if not Defiant, go to Aegislash and set up fully, if Defiant, go to Aegislash, SD once, Iron Head KO.

Cobalion34: go to Aegislash; set up on set 4, if it (via Swagger) turns out to be set 3 go to Gliscor and act accordingly, but be aware that it's too erratic to reliably stall out of Iron Head PP.
Cobalion1234: go to Aegislash and act accordingly
Terrakion12: go to Aegislash and use KS to scout the set; set up fully on set 2, switch-stall set 1 out of EdgeQuake PP aided by KS while dropping its Atk to -6 and stall it out of Close Combat PP with Gliscor, and then fully set up Mega Gyarados.

Tornadus12: non-Mega DD once; set 1 will almost always use GK whereas set 2 is more unpredictable, but LO recoil gives away the set either way if its attack hits. If its attack hits and set 1 is confirmed, OHKO with non-Mega Waterfall after LO recoil. If set 2, go to Aegislash and spam King's Shield until either Hurricane PP is gone or Aegislash faints.

Tornadus1234: DD once in case it's Tornadus1, and proceed according to set.
Thundurus12: go to Gliscor, Sub. Set 2 will switch out; if set 1, switch-stall Thunderbolt and Protect between Aegislash and Gliscor, (it will use Thunderbolt over Toxic or vain Rest against Gliscor), force it into a Rest twice via Toxic, go back to Gyarados while it sleeps, Sub, and set up six DDs.
Thundurus34: go to Gliscor. If set 3, Toxic, and use Sub / Protect until it faints; if set 4, switch-stall Taunt and Focus Blast with Aegislash, and then Toxic and Sub / Protect.

Florges4: go to Aegislash, set up fully.
Gogoat4: go to Aegislash on Wild Charge, set up fully.

Slurpuff4: go to Gliscor, Sub / Protect / Toxic.
Barbaracle4: go to Aegislash to tank the Stone Edge, use KS to drop its Attack even further, go to Gliscor on Shadow Claw; if it doesn't crit, go back to Aegislash to lower its Attack even further. Eventually, Sub / Protect and Earthquake 2HKO when Sub isn't broken.
Clawitzer4: go to Gliscor, stall Dragon Pulse, keep Sub / Protecting until it Struggles to death to get back at reasonable HP

Gourgeist4: go to Aegislash, go to Gliscor (dodging Trick-Or-Treat via the Aegislash switch), KO it with Toxic damage + LO recoil + Earthquake maybe, try measuring out its demise carefully while occasionally trying to fish for free turns by trying to use Sub or Protect on Trick-Or-Treat.
Avalugg4: Intimidate switches + KS until it's (mostly) out of Earthquake PP, fully set up Aegislash.
Noivern4: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. non-Mega DD once, then Mega Crunch potential OHKO; if the KO is missed and Gyarados is KOed (it survives one Hurricane on non-Mega + one on Mega, but hax happens), finish it off with Shadow Sneak.
I actually hit 2k. Seven or eight months overdue and with a different team, granted, but the number is actually here. Can I just have a moment to say how happy I am for having hit this number after all, after burning out as bad as I did on my way there with team Clockwork Angels and being just generally way out of shape afterwards? I outlined the details in my 1k already, and honestly, I really felt as if I was a mediocre player who had just happened to have a really lucky month... but I guess I'm back at it. It's funny how this is a repetition of events—I was so confident triples was the format where I'd be getting the Starf Berry, but I ended up getting it in Rotations of all formats, which was my very first "did I actually just do this" moment, and now I'm not hitting 2k in triples but in singles.
The cute number drought that I mentioned in my previous post is for the most part over. There's been 2k, there's been 2^11, there's been my birthday, there's been this—but the actual big fish and the actual numbers that I really want to hit are still coming up. Wish me luck guys, the marathon continues.
