Well, I found something almost broken. I'm planning to use it in the Battle Subway. I guess I'll put a full analysis here:
Oh, and did I mention it needs sandstorm?
Aron @ Shell Bell Lvl 1
Adamant. Sturdy.
0HP|0DEF|0SPDEF IV's
Endeavor
Protect
Tackle
---
Sturdy works differently in Gen 5, now protecting said Pokemon from getting OHKO'd from any attack. With that in mind, after the first attack Aron can Endeavor his opponents down to 1HP, then refill his health with its Shell Bell. Rinse and repeat. Protect is there if you suspect fake outs or something else. Just filling up move slots, really.
It's partners should be something that help its Ghost weakness. And a Tyranitar/Hippowdon for Sand Stream.
There are a list of counters, but if you're team lacks them you're out:
• Ghost type pokemon
• Entry hazards like Stealth Rock and Spikes
• Pokemon with the Rough Skin, Steel Thorns or Mold Breaker Ability
• Pokemon with Sandstorm abilities
• Other weather teams, specifically hail
• Attacks that hit 2-5 times in one turn
• Dragon Tail or Overhead Throw
• Status
• Knock Off or Trick
• Leech Seed
• Fake Out
I doubt you'll see some of those in the Battle Subway, but still listing 'em.
This worked in generation four, but the levels are generated differently in gen V Battle Subway.
All participating pokémon will be automatically set to lv. 50, also those that are initially below.
So this method is not possible in the subway.
