Hey so cool to see someone else trying to get really high win streaks on battle subway doubles! I’ve been trying to beat the record holder who uses a similar rain team. Do you think any other team could even get to 900 wins? I’ve been trying to see how far I can get with trick room teams but can’t get pass 200.
This team looks like a lot of fun! I want to try it out my self but unfortunately I don't have a thundurus therian. Can you recommend me a good alternative?
Oh boy, a Thundurus T replacement. Kind of hard because ideally what you want is something that can at least reasonably do the following: 1. Switch in for Politoed/Ludicolo (therefore must not share weaknesses, can't be made of glass) 2. Handle Electric types very well (important) 3. Handle fat Water and Grass types (things like Tentacruel, Ferrothorn) 4. Immediate threat (Hits hard, fast) I remember theorizing with: - Raikou (Life Orb? Air Balloon?) - Magnezone (Choice Scarf? Air Balloon?) - Zapdos (Leftovers?) - Electivire (Life Orb? Air Balloon?) Other things like Zebstrika,, Rotom, Raichu, Manectric, Electrode don't seem very good because they're either too frail to switch in, have bad move pools, and/or are too weak. But the above listed Pokemon seem like good replacements.
