Cholaski, a pokemon gen 1 player, created a team somewhere around 2016-2017. It is the second team posted in this thread https://pokemonperfect.com/forums/i...oughts-on-the-meta-at-the-highest-level.4546/.
He has used this team to top the ladder every year since under different account names. I made an account specifically to just solo this team to see for myself just how good it was. The account parodies his name. I call myself ChoNASTY. As of this moment, that account sits at the top of the ladder.
The team is composed as follows:
Jynx
-lovely kiss
-blizzard
-psychic
-rest
Chansey
-ice beam
-thunderbolt
-sing
-soft boiled
Cloyster
-hyperbeam
-blizzard
-clamp
-explosion
Tauros
-hyper beam
-body slam
-blizzard
-earth quake
Golem
-earthquake
-body slam
-rock slide-
-explosion
Starmie
-blizzard
-thunderbolt
-recover
-thunderwave
Since all the years that have passed since its creation, not a single trend has made this team obsolete. It has proven to be timeless, unaffected by any change in the meta. Cholaski, the player, has weird "sub-optimal" quirks in his playstyle. As you can see, every pokemon has an ice move except for Golem. Cholaski loves pressing these ice moves, even when he probably shouldn't. Btw, sub-optimal in quotes, because he wins far more than he loses. It's very likely that he created this team with the primary goal of having a team that maximized the chance of freezing the opponent. The team works best though, in my opinion, if you completely neglect this origin. If you get the freeze, cool, but the team plays best when one avoids strategies focused on freezing, because those strategies are unreliable. Another interesting history fact about this team is that it was one of the first to popularize laxless in the form of filling that slot with cloyster.
Anyway. Quick summary of the basics that will be obvious to some of you, but maybe not to others: Jynx to sleep the opponent and spam blizzard until you are sleep sacked or get a freeze. If you think the opponent will thunderwave, switch to chansey and sleep the opponent with chansey. Cloyster as the primary snorlax check, but Golem as a secondary check. Clamp + hyper beam is great if you are in a position where chansey is checking you, or for catching alakazam or jynx etc. switch ins off guard. Golem is your physical attacker (along with tauros of course). Explosion is extremely good. Starmie's thunderwave can open up the way for golem to kill faster pokes. In head to head, golem can even kill fresh pokes like alakazam by living a psychic and pressing explosion. Been in that situation many times. Tauros is Tauros. Starmie is of course extremely good and best saved for the late game, if circumstances allow it, for it really puts the late game in your favor if it can be saved.
That's all I have I guess. I simply wanted to report that this team has stood the test of time. If there was a team hall of fame, I'd induct it. GGs to everyone who played me.
