The Milestone: 21 Win Streak
 
For a while I've been trying to get a 100 win streak at the battle tower. I do alright until I get to Palmer who I always barely loose to. Today, I've lost to him for the 7th time and I'm starting to get sick of this. Here was today's team:

Shiny Galade EV Trained
Leaf Blade, Psycho Cut, Stone Edge, and Close Combat

Ludicolo EV Trained
Surf, Giga Drain, Ice Beam, and Rain Dance

Flygon Not EV Trained
Fly, Flamethrower, Earthquake, and Crunch

Have you experienced this and what should I do to freaking beat this guy?

Dragonite - Ice Beam 4x weakness OHKO

Rhyperior - Surf/Grass Knot 4x weakness OHKO

Milotic - Grass Knot/Thunderbolt 2x weakness 2HKO

You could try a Thunderpuncher against Milotic, since its defense is much lower than its special defense, or just Leaf Blade it with your Gallade.

If you intend to stick with the current team, though, your Ludicolo should be enough to kill off the Dragonite and Rhyperior, so send him out first. Once Milotic is out, hope for the best and just weaken it enough for Gallade to finish it off with Leaf Blade. That Flygon should probably go, though. Perhaps replace it with something with Thunderbolt/Thunderpunch, Energy Ball/Grass Knot, and/or Ice Beam/Ice Punch (Edit: in case your Ludicolo dies before it can Ice Beam the Dragonite), and decent moves and stats aside from that to actually make it teamworthy. Milotic is probably the only actual threat of his team at that point, so prepare for that particular Pokémon and you should do fine.

Electivire > Palmer

I used my Electivire through Palmer. His Dragonite fell to my Ice Punch, his Rhyperior fell to an Earthquake, and Milotic to Thunderpunch. That is after my Electivire took a few hits from them.

A good moveset:

Electivire @ Choice Band/Life Orb
Jolly
Motor Drive
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Defense
-Thunderpunch
-Ice Punch
-Cross Chop/Brick Break
-Earthquake

You think Palmer's tough the 1st time try him out the second time. -_-
He's tough and the people after him aren't a piece of cake either...

Starmie easily sweeps Palmer's team when you fight him the first time. Starmie outruns Dragonite and Rhyperior by far so I use Ice Beam on Dragonite and Surf on Rhyperior. Took 2 Thunderbolts to kill Milotic. Milotic barely did any damage to me so she was still easy to kill.

Alright, I'll try that.

Hmm... If I lose again I'll try that.

The real problem is that I'm using Ludicolo to kill Milotic. Ludicolo gets weakened in the process and the Dragonite finishes him off with Dragon Rush. So... I need a pokemon that can take quite a few hits while dishing out some damage.
