Somehow I only just found this thread... and I'm glad to see both Peterko and Jumpman are still doing their thing.
However, I may not even bother with the Subway, which is surprising when you consider the 1000s of hours I wasted on the Tower in Pearl, Platinum and HeartGold. My best in Platinum was a mere 646, only about a quarter of the legendary duo's record.
(Legendary duo = Peterko and Jumpman; Peterko is exclusive to Pokemon White, while Jumpman is in Black)
I did a streak of 77 using my completely unchanged 646 team from Platinum:
1. Cresselia ~ Aether
Item: Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Bold
EVs: 252 HP, 230 Speed, 28 Defense
IVs: 31-x-31-27-31-31
Level 50 Stats: 227-73-158-93-150-134
- Trick
- Thunder Wave
- Flash
- Light Screen
2. Salamence (shiny) ~ Dargon
Item: Lum Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Sp. Def
IVs: 31-31-31-31-31-31
Level 50 Stats: 170-205-100-117-101-152
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
- Substitute
3. Registeel ~ HardNess
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 HP, 140 Defense, 100 Attack, 16 Sp. Defense
IVs: 31-31-31-x-30-31
Level 50 Stats: 187-108-188-79-189-70
- Iron Head
- Substitute
- Curse
- Amnesia
... it just felt a bit 'meh' for unknown reasons. I took a while to adjust to the actual switching that the AI does if locked into non-attacking moves. I'm surprised at how effective Registeel still is, despite the absurd power level of many new 5th-gen threats.
Anyway, not sure if you'll bother to add that practice streak to the list (it was 77), I'm also unsure if I'll bother to try and place high on the list... just doesn't seem as fun as 4th-gen was.
