B/W2 Super Singles - streak of 360 wins
B/W2 super singles subway, battle video 80-72623-73771, streak of 203. I didn't lose but I don't really want to go on any further now that I got the Starf Berry.
I ended up making a critical: TruAnt has 252 Atk EVs instead of HP EVs. No wonder it died so easily... Cloyster takes better advantage of Truant enemy than Latias does, while Latias is much more self-sufficient than Cloyster. Notable match was a CM war between Latias and Cobalion, which ended with me forcing it to Struggle itself to death.
Major threats: Protect or Fake Out leads. Fake Out + Sub Kangaskhan lead swept my team with two untimely crits. Protect Abomasnow lead also swept my team.
I didn't really think about the EV spread on Cloyster btw. Just grabbed it off of Pokécheck since it's TheMantyke's Cloyster. The Durant is from someone I know. I mean I could have RNG'd my own but I didn't feel like changing my DS time.
Edit: Cloyster can't muscle past Aggron, the Impish Bronzong, Cobalion, and some other mons without Truant assistance. That's troublesome if one of those two are the second Pokémon.
Edit 2: Screw it I'm going to keep going past 203. Once I change the EV spread on Durant that is. Don't have a camera on hand anyways. Also take notice that battle videos of subway battles stores the battle number...
Edit 3: Lost on the 361st battle due to BS hax (
picture of record). I didn't make any misplays, but I lost exactly the way I thought I would end up losing. Mienshao killed itself with HJK before Cloyster could get the 3rd Shell Smash in, and it also killed Durant. I could have switched in Latias after turn 1 but generally sacrificing her is a bad idea because of how she can setup on almost anything... except the Thick Fat Hariyama that came in and took out Cloyster (it took 50% after Sitrus Berry). Latias could have landed the 2HKO except freeze hax happened and I lost. Ice Punch did about 45% so using Sub wouldn't have really done anything except weaken her.
Battle vid 37-40961-77213. I won't be doing many more subway so these two videos will remain here for a long time.
Durant - Jolly Truant @Choice Scarf Entrainment/Protect/Iron Head/Superpower 252HP/6Def/252Spe
Cloyster - Adamant Skill Link @Wide Lens Icicle Spear/Rock Blast/Protect/Shell Smash 22HP/252Atk/232Spe
Latias - Timid @Leftovers Dragon Pulse/Substitute/Calm Mind/Protect 252HP/6Def/252Spe
All team members have flawless IVs where it matters. Durant is from a friend of mine, Cloyster is from TheMantyke, and Latias is mine (comes from Ruby via
legit Eon Ticket and RNG abused on a retail Ruby cart using a live battery).
Durant has Superpower because most of the things that wall Cloyster at +6 are steel types like Cobalion and Aggron, although there are others like Sitrus Poliwrath, and the Thick Fat Hariyama that I lost to. Cloyster has Wide Lens to mitigate misses from Rock Blast (only missed once and that was due to BrightPowder). I probably should have invested more in HP for Cloyster as it is my primary setup Pokémon.
Enpi's Hariyama used Brick Break on Cloyster.
It's super effective against Cloyster.
Cloyster lost 134 HP (104%).
Yeah... Definitely. I didn't really think about the EVs on the set. Just grabbed it off of Pokécheck from TheMantyke's account (NOT an OT search, account search so I knew it was his). Also Durant could have a few points less in speed as it's a couple points faster than the fastest Pokémon in the entire subway (that Timid Scarf max speed Manectric).
Latias performed exactly as expected, although some of the things she was able to setup on due to substitute was surprising (shoddy AI ftw). Stuff like that Trick Toxic Orb Metagross that kept using Trick when she was behind a sub.
All in all that run went longer than I thought it would. I only planned to get a Starf Berry so I'm done now. Not going to do another run anytime soon.
Edit 4: Yes I changed the EV spread on Durant mid-streak. Battles 0 to 203 had EVs of 6HP/252Atk/252Spe with Iron Head/Entrainment/X-Scissor/Thunder Fang. None of the moves that I removed were instrumental in continuing the streak (Thunder Fang defeating an Empoleon as the last enemy Pokémon could have been accomplished with Superpower and 0Atk EVs).
