Black & White Battle Subway Records (2024)

Pokemon Platinum Battle Tower record

Pokemon Platinum Battle Tower Single winstreak: 454
Alright guys this is my first streak which I post on smogon and help and correction is always welcome because my english is terrible
This winstreak is really old maybe for 4 month I have gotten this streak...

Anyway the BattleTower team reached a winstreak of 454 wins. The trainer sent out Abomasnow which is my most hatet Pokemon at the BattleTower because Registeel doesn't get Leftovers recovery while SnowWarning is active ...

Anyway, tricked the Abomasnow and got the Sheel Bell which means that is:

Abomasnow used Avalanche and I set up Charms but he CH'ed with the 5th Avalanche and KO'ed my Latias. I sent out Registeel to stall all Avalanches out and after all Avalanches were stalled I switched into Garchomp and he Struggled and I set up SwordDance and Sub. He CH'ed me with the 2nd or 3rd Struggle I think and after that I killed it with Earthquake because I didn't want to be naked after another CH Struggle. The next Pokemon was Frosslass lucky I was faster and used Earthquake but it avoided the attack and used Blizzard so that set should be:

Blizzard broke my sub and I killed it with the next Earthquake. Next Pokemon was Infernape I was hoping that it wouldn't be the Jolly one which will outspeed my Garchomp but it was faster and killed me (don't remember which attack it was but I think Earthquake) whatever....this set is:

Now the game was lost .. I sent Registeel in and he used CloseCombat or FlareBlitz not sure but it took me down to 45 Hp and I couldn't sub because I need 47 for a sub and if I would have had 48 HP the hail damage would have killed me so I chose an useless Curse because with an IronHead crit I wouldn't have won... it used CloseCombat/FlareBlitz again, GG. Don't have a proof because my camera is destroyed :(

Now something about the team:

Latias ** Eon
Nature & Item: Timid - Choice Scarf
Iv's: 31 - x - 31 - 31 - 31 - 31
Ev's: 252 HP - 182 Defense - 74 Speed
Stats (Lv.50) : 187 - 81 - 133 - 127 - 150 - 154
Moves: Trick, ThunderWave, Charm, Recover

The best Tricker in my opinion. After Trick the Choice Scarf I'm often faster and can cripple the pokemon with ThunderWave or Charm and can setup easily. Sometimes I saw that Latias survived a Megahorn of Heracross which is really usefull because (Registeel resists it but it does a lot of damage for a non-effective move). Mostly Fire pokemon won't use Fireattacks on Latias which is really good but only Infernape 4 uses STAB fire attack FlareBlitz so I can easy cripple it with Charm and Recover but I have to hope that the Infernape doesn't get a CH FlareBlitz on the switch into Garchomp which does a lot. The most water Pokes use IceBeam on Latias which is great to set up Registeel easily

Registeel ** Robot

Nature & Item: Careful - Leftovers
Iv's: 31 - 31 - 31 - x - 31 - 31
Ev's: 252 HP - 100 Attack - 146 Defense - 14 Sp.Defense
Stats (Lv.50) : 187 - 108 - 188 - 79 - 189 - 70
Moves: IronHead, Substitute, Curse, Amnesia

Registeel is a really bulky and a very dangerous Pokemon . If it's on 6+/6+/6+ only a few pokemon are able to kill it without critical hits. It resists the dangerous Icetype and can take a lot of hits . It's a bit difficult to play so I won't say much about the strategy. Curse and Amnesia are made each other with ClearBody which is really helpful if your openet have a pokemon with Crunch as example which drops you defense but thanks to ClearBoday which blocks the Defense drop (not for Rampardos which has MoldBreaker). +6 Attack allowes Registeel to 5HKO Heatran. Also Magnezone 4 gets 5 - 6HKO on +6 but you have to repeat your Sub every 2nd or 3rd turn if you face it. A few pokes are able to take +6 IronHead and Roar me away which is really annoying. There are the pokemons which are able to take a +6 IronHead and will mostly roar me away:

But Registeel isn't after full set up bulky enough to take every single hit and some pokes are able to destroy a full health sub with one hit. All these are:

- Critical Hits

- Boosted SunnyDay Fire attacks (without blaze)

- Blaze bosted Fire moves

- OHKO useres:

Garchomp ** Raptor
Nature & Item: Jolly - Lum Berry
Iv's: 31 - 31 - 31 - x - 31 - 31
Ev's: 252 Attack - 252 Speed - 4 Sp.Defense
Stats (Lv.50) : 183 - 182 - 115 - 79 - 106 - 169
Moves: Outrage, Earthquake, SwordDance, Substitute

I never lost my hope in you Garchomp.... Often if the openet uses ThunderWave or attacks my Latias with an electric move I can easily switch into Garchomp and can set up really quickly and easily. The most Pokemon die after +6 (= 728 attack) Outrage only Steelix, Magnezone, Bronzong and Agrron survive with low HP. Another advantage is his ability SandVeil. It raises your evasion in Sandstorm. One example: One time I was naked against Hippowdon 3 and used IceFang but luckily it missed ... SandVeil saved my ass! There is nothing to explain more on this set. It's simple and easy to play you only need a little bit prediction if you have only 2 SwordDance up with a Sub because there are some pokes which die on the 4th or on the 5th Struggle.

Dangers are only pokes which are faster than Garchomp with 4x effective move or QuickClaw in combination with a (hitting) OHKO move. All these pokes are on the Garchomp danger list:

Hope you enjoyed this long post and see you later guys :D!
