As long as people keep thinking this about Breloom, it will continue to decimate teams. Especially versions with a lot of HP EVs that laugh at unstabbed attacks. I'm not going to complain. =P

That was an exaggeration. The real deal is that most things that hit Breloom for neutral behind a good attack break the sub. Special attack is even more likely to break it.
If he was using that set. He didn't specify what he was using. It would have been a CB version for all we know.
I always try and use resistance combinations in teams, and one I find myself frequently using is Zadpos/Metagross or Salamence/Metagross. I find the former slightly better though, with Zapdos being able to support the team with Light Screen and Metagross with Bullet Punch acting as a revenge killer. Swampert can be a pain if i'm using HP Ice, but otherwise it's one of my favourite "combinations".
Don't forget SD Skarm! He's a beast.
Gyarados and Scarfchomp. This is what gyaravire wants to be. Scarfchomp is always faster than standard vire and can come in on all manner of electric attacks just as well. It resists Rock attacks Gyarados' main weakness, and has fire blast to hurt skarm switchins. Nothing likes Outrage except steels which most can be taunted. Metagross doesn't like switching in on Garchomp EQ. Man I hate electivire.
So is SD[Insert Pokemon with flying attack here).
I like Bronzor and Eevee's electrical evo. (Can't think of the name right now...)
foretress+heatran
Go flash fire

I really like Weezing and Steelix. They make a great defensive wall combination, and since Weezing can TBolt, Tauntrados isn't spoiling the party.
Plus, if anything DOES set up physically, you can just Boom on them, as they just won't be able to OHKO steelix that easily(Godly defense). Since Lix can use Gyro Ball, SR and Roar, it isn't as much dead weight as it was in Advance.

Depends, Gyarados+Electivire is probably the best in singles due to the fact that you're reduced to using rock attacks on Gyara or you risk boosting Vire, and Gyarados can take a few rock attacks to set up. There is nothing quite as scary as a Gyara with a few dances under its belt. Fire weak/flash fire combos work well too for similar reasons. I'm a fan of Scizor/Heatran myself. I like the scarfchomp+gyara idea posted too, I'll have to try it out.
In doubles I like Gyarados/Rhyperior w/ thunderrod, it serves the same purpose as electivire but gyarados can sit in and set up. Rhyperior also provides extra type coverage which is always welcome. Gyarados is my favorite pokemon to use, lots of ways to work with him.

SKARMBLISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just kidding.
there are many, but an AWESOME one is weezing/spiritomb.
weezing draws psychics, and spiritomb smacks the psychic pokemon with pursuit or sucker punch.

Best or Favourite?
If it's favourite, then I'll back my Jumpluff and Charizard, which follows every rai/quag/bat/butterfly zard combo around, but it works for me.
If it's best, then the Aeroduggy combo breaks almost any otherwise surefire win, like the 6CM Raikou, or something like that. One could use that as the "goalie" of a team.
If it's comedy, then the Shuckle-Bibarel combo works well; I think I may try that on Wifi just for comedy...especially when it works...kudos to the creator and the creator of the shucklebarrel warstories...

Giratina + Forretress
"Forretina"
They resist each other's weaknesses very well, and have high defense(s) to back them up. Forry can Spike/Toxic Spikes/SR while Giratina blocks the spin. Giratina's ability to wall Heracross is always cool too.
Gyaravire is insanely overrated and Cress rips it apart completely
