This is first team I used for the challenge. Normalium Z on Bewear for a powerful 200 Base Power Normal Type attack which is resisted by just Steel and Rock with Ghost being Immune to it. Thunder Punch for KOing Flying types, Superpower for another STAB move. It wasn't used much as the Tapu group is very common in the ladder. Standard Mega Charizard Y set to defeat Mega Slowbro and other physical walls. Scarf Kyurem-Black with Iron Head over Earth Power to deal with the fairy types and rest of the pokemon.
Pokemon that counter the team: Tapu Koko, Mega Gyarados with physical bulk (for surviving 2 Fusion Bolt).

Seems similar? That's because I imported my Giratina Hyper Balance Team and swapped out the mons of coincidence. Thankfully after that awful fourteen loss start I switched to my Giratina Hyp-- er... completely original team that I built from scratch and went on a 49 win streak.

Silver in 1v1. One loss was to Thunder Wave Hex Misdreavus, another was to Cosmic Power Toxic stall Chimeco.

Gold in 1v1. Platinum is still pretty impossible. Best I could do was 1656.

Ok. Since Pokebilities ladder has ended, Pokebilties CLC is over. And so far... no one achieved anything.

Until 10th of February, the remaining CLC (BH and 1v1) is still not over, so you can still ladder for achievement.
 
I think I need to remind you guys that Challenge #3 ends tomorrow at February 10th, 2017. New challenges will be MnM, Sketchmons and probably Inheritance. Prepare guys.
 
K. Challenge #3 is now over. Congrats to ShedMiddleFinga, E4 Flint, highlighter for winning BH CLC and Dream Eater Gengar for winning 1v1 CLC. Post your team to be featured in Hall of Fame.
