Hey everyone, newcomer here. Reporting an ongoing Super Singles streak of 105 wins, a personal best by a wide margin (76 was my previous record).
The team:
Haxorus @ Focus Sash
Adamant
Mold Breaker
26/31/31/x/29/31
252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Low Kick
Outrage
Dragon Dance
Earthquake
Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Bold
Water Absorb
29/x/31/31/31/31
252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SpD
Wish
Protect
Scald
Haze
Garchomp @ Choice Scarf
Naive
Sand Veil
31/31/28/25/23/31
4 HP / 252 Atk / 124 SpA / 128 Spe
Flamethrower
Outrage
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
All bred by me, no manip.
Primary win condition: Haxorus kills stuff left, right and center! +1 Outrage scores so many OHKOs it's not even funny, setting up 2v1s, 3v1s or even sweeping the entire opposing team in one fell swoop! This is why Focus Sash is chosen over the likes of Life Orb or Lum Berry; guaranteeing a DD against a very large amount of opposing leads and unboosted kills against other leads still is simply too good!
-EQ is an extremely solid coverage move with the obvious benefit of not locking Haxorus in, and Mold Breaker allows it to hit Levitate users. So long, Bronzong!
-Low Kick is used for similar reasons and has been working well overall, but it's underwhelming against lighter foes and misses a few crucial ranges, so I will probably replace it with Superpower.
Vaporeon acts as a catch-all bulky switch-in/pivot/healer/staller/hazer/crippler utility glue.
-Scouts for moves, stalls for days, dishes out burns (and damage) with Scald, and even passes Wish to teammates, one particular concrete benefit of which is that an unused Haxorus Sash can be brought back online.
-Easily walls a large amount of Ice-types, which is appreciated by both Haxorus and Garchomp.
-It's a good thing that a lot of battles are won lightning fast by Haxorus sweeps, because a fair few wins are secured specifically by winning tedious stall wars, typically with Water Boy here in the driver's seat.
-Haze is just... wonderful.
The previous iteration of this team — peaking at 73 wins or so — featured Choice Scarf Latios in the last slot. While he did a good job overall, a few things were sorely missed, like a Fire-type move, or a team member who can switch in on Electric attacks without a care in the world.
-Enter Garchomp, who takes care of both of those objectives and comes with other benefits too, like Outrage hitting harder than Dragon Pulse and more accurately than Draco Meteor. STAB EQ is nice too. An unambiguous improvement overall!
- A Scarf user means backup speed control whenever Haxorus has fainted or can't get off a DD in the first place.
-Flamethrower is chosen over Fire Fang because of the latter's imperfect accuracy, but also to have a special move against certain physical walls. The other moves are straightforward, but not 100% set in stone.
-Rough Skin would have been nice, but, well... HA. Maybe I'll get my hands on one eventually...
The road to 105 wins went pretty smoothly for the most part, but there were a few close/lucky calls. Most of them were the result of misplays/slop on my end, but this team isn't airtight and will lose at some point. That being said, putting it together was a lot of fun and I'm happy with how it turned out. Reading through this thread played a significant part in motivating me to keep tinkering away, so a big thanks to everyone who has posted teams, analysis and discussion here!
