X/Y Battle Maison Streaks!
« on: December 14, 2013, 08:51 »
So we had this kind of topic for B/W, and I really enjoyed seeing how well people did with different team combinations. Post here with the following:

-Battle Style (Super Singles, Super Doubles, Super Triples, Super Rotation, Super Multi)
-Streak Number and if the streak is still going
-Pokemon Team

Current Leaders
Super Singles: 72 Wins (streak ended) - RubyRobin (Greninja, Kanaskhan, Salamence)
Super Doubles:
Super Triples:
Super Rotation:
Super Multi:

Here's what I have been using for Super Singles:

@ Life Orb
{Protean}
Naive nature (+Speed, -Sp. Defense)
EVs: 252 Speed / 252 Sp. Attack / 6 Attack
Hydro Pump
Grass Knot (usually U-Turn, but not useful in Maison)
Ice Beam
Dark Pulse

This thing usually sweeps all three opposing Pokemon by itself.

@ Mawilite
{Intimidate}
Adamant nature (+Attack, -Sp. Attack)
EVs: 252 HP / 164 Attack / 92 Speed
Play Rough
Fire Fang
Sucker Punch
Swords Dance

Usually just smashes through the opposition with Huge Power Play Rough, but SD Sucker Punch is brutal as well. Fire Fang for Steels.

@ Weakness Policy
{Multiscale}
Adamant nature (+Attack, -Sp. Attack)
EVs: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 Sp. Defense
Dragon Claw
Roost
Earthquake
Dragon Dance

Boost once, hopefully get hit by a super effective attack to activate Weakness Policy, and sweep. Togekiss stops it dead, though. Maybe I should give it another coverage move over Roost.

I haven't actually dabbled too much into this, but my last streak ended to to Dragonite getting Frozen, then Mawile missing with Play Rough. x_x

Anyway, I'd like to see what you guys have done!

Super singles - 39 Wins (ended)

Scolipede @ Leftovers
252 HP / 252 Attack / 4 Speed
Adamant | Speed Boost
-> Baton Pass
-> Swords Dance
-> Megahorn
-> Poison Jab

I lead with this guy - use SD first turn and scolipede almost always takes a hit, then either sweep on his own or BP to Mienshao (or even Alakazam if only for the speed boosts)

Mienshao @ Life Orb
Adamant | Regenerator
252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP
-> Knock Off
-> U-Turn
-> HJK
-> Fake Out

A brilliant way of eliminating threats to scolipede - Fake out breaks sashes and U-Turn in conjunction with life orb is amazing? HJK does massive damage, especially if given boosts from Scolipede

Alakazam @ Alakazite
Timid | Magic Guard
252 SpA / 252 Speed / 4 HP
-> Focus Blast
-> Psyshock
-> Substitute
-> Shadow Ball

For the most part he just cleans up. I had a shiny Alakazam and I wanted to use it xD substitute can be used if you think they're choiced into something crappy, or just OHKO them with the appropriate move. I know MegaZam isn't great, but it was literally just because I had the shiny >_>

Updated! Your team looks nice! One thing though: U-Turn wastes the boosts that Scolipede gave! Wouldn't Rock Slide or Poison Jab or something be of more use? o:

Yeah, but then when the opponent brings in something he can't handle he has problems =/

I'll try it though - U-Turn is a TM so it's easily replaced if I need it back! I've also swapped Alakazam for Aggron on my current team, so I'll see if this gets any further! (I don't know how I'm going to beat the battle chatelaine though - her team looks impossible >_>)

so i heard somewhere that the battle maison teams adjust to your own team over time? e.g if you're going round stomping with a shedninja, the appearence of status effects and weather teams increases. Would changing teams mid streak reset that?
EDIT: I have a record of 34 straight wins on super single it seems
EDIT2: OK so I don't quite remember my team but it was something along the lines of:
Charizard @Charizardite X
Adamant Nature
-Swords Dance
-Dragon Claw
-Earthquake
-Flare Blitz

Zoroark@Focus Sash
Sassy Nature (fresh from pokemon village)
-Nasty Plot
-Dark Pulse
-Focus Blast
-Flamethrower

Aegislash @Sitrus Berry
Brave Nature
-Iron Head
-Swords Dance
-Shadow Sneak
-King's Shield

Basically, mega-evolve into swords dance if charizard can take a hit, otherwise just go and kill without boosts. Zoroark makes a nice revenge killer and can abuse focus sash to go setup sweeper if the situation calls for it. Aegislash is there because a) he's broken and b) works as an OK-ish disguise for zoroark.

My highest streak so far is 47 on Super Singles :) when you hit 40 you face teams full of legendaries, and from 45 up the teams are even more geared towards countering your teams. I got out stalled by a Ferrothorn - I can usually deal with them if I have all 3 members of my team and if they carry Power Whip instead of Iron Head. :(

Currently running:

Rotom-W @ Leftovers
Modest
Levitate
252HP/56 SpA/220 Spd
Hydro Pump
Volt Switch
Will-o-Wisp
Shadow Ball (filler move)

Scizor @ Choice Band
Adamant
Technician
248HP/252 Atk/8 Spd
Bullet Punch
U-Turn
Pursuit
Quick Attack

Drapion @ Life Orb
Jolly
Sniper
252 Atk/252 Spd/4 Def
Knock Off
Pursuit
Poison Jab
Earthquake

Between burns and knocked off items, almost anything can be worn down by CB Bullet Punches or U-Turns. Knock Off's buff is incredibly useful. If Drapion doesn't OHKO something with Knock Off, it leaves it being incredibly inadequate in the face of Scizor.

I seem to get A LOT of SubSeed/ProtectSeed Grass types with Big Root so knocking off their Big Root usually saves me. And the frailer Grass types like Roserade go down either way.

"i hope you get niall bursting out of a tower cake singing "happy birthday mr president" and he's wearing a "miss america 2013" sash while giving you a 3 hour lapdance"

Just beat 50 battles in a row! Look up the video in your Vs. Recorder here: Z8UW-WWWW-WWW3-NQ8S

My streak is ongoing, but I literally did 50 battles in a row, so I'm going to take a break. Here's my team:

@ Kangaskhanite
{Scrappy [Parental Bond]}
Adamant nature (+Attack, -Sp. Attack)
EVs: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 HP
Return
Crunch
Sucker Punch
Power-Up Punch

Dear lord is this thing broken. Power-Up Punch is ridiculously good, acting as a Swords Dance with damage AND coverage Kangaskhan needs. After that, Return is really powerful STAB, while Crunch hits Ghosts. Sucker Punch deals with anything that's faster than Kangaskhan. Simple, but wow this is probably the most fun Pokemon to use ever!

@ Leftovers
{Levitate}
Modest nature (+Sp. Attack, -Attack)
EVs: 232 HP / 56 Sp. Attack / 220 Speed
Hydro Pump
Thunderbolt
Volt Switch
Will-o-Wisp

If you read the last 5th gen PotW article, you'd know that this was my favorite Pokemon to use in the metagame, and it's still just as good today. This Pokemon serves multiple purposes: provide the team a special attacker, and KO key physical threats that the other two can't handle (Gliscor, Skarmory, Hippowdon). Hydro Pump is the strongest STAB it has, with Thunderbolt not far behind. Volt Switch can be great to deal damage and escape to another Pokemon. Will-o-Wisp is mostly there because Rotom-W has a really small movepool, but it came in handy once already, so I'm keeping it.

@ Weakness Policy
{Multiscale}
Adamant nature (+Attack, -Sp. Attack)
EVs: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 4 Sp. Defense
Dragon Dance
Dragon Claw
Earthquake
Steel Wing

One adjustment from the set in the first post - Steel Wing for Fairy types. I was forced out of a Togekiss once and that won't happen again.

Edit: Streak ended to a Hydreigon that flinched Rotom-W, then Will-o-Wisp missed the next turn, then it flinched Dragonite the next turn. -_-

I'll update this with my streak once it's got higher, but I'm currently using:

Galvantula @ Focus Sash
Ability: Unnerve (I'm getting an ability capsule soon xD)
Timid | 252 Speed 252 SpA 4 HP
-> Sticky Web
-> Bug Buzz
-> Discharge
-> Volt Switch

Typhlosion @ Choice Specs
Ability: Blaze
Mild | 252 SpA 252 Speed 4 Attack
-> Eruption
-> Fire Blast
-> Earthquake
-> Extrasensory

Vaporeon @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
Bold | 252 HP 252 Def 4 Speed
-> Wish
-> Protect
-> Ice Beam
-> Scald

Eruption is very fun in a SR-less place with sticky web support xD

Edit: Lost on battle 33 to a water absorb Lanturn, of all things...

Wow, first time I've seen someone else using this build! The only differance is that I'm using Electro Web... think I'll use your Discharge instead.

I've only given the Maison a couple of goes & my record is only 48, but props to all you guys that are 50+ (can't wait to get my gold trainer card).

I was planning to use compound eyes Thunder, but I had unnerve so just went with Discharge and I think I prefer it in the maison, where type resist berries are EVERYWHERE xD

Well, I think you should get a Truant Durant with Entrainment from me. Why? Because of exploits.
