I have:
Terrakion
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Sacred Sword
Swords Dance

Starmie
Thunderbolt
Ice Beam
Surf
Thunder

Volcarona
Quiver Dance
Heat Wave
Bug Buzz
Fly (I use Volc for flying outside the subway, and I know it's a far from optimal move)

Team 1 Sandstorm
Ttar @ Leftovers
Sandstream
Jolly
-Crunch
-DDance
-Stone Edge

Excadrill @ Balloon
Sand Rush
Jolly
-Equake
-X-Scissor
-Swords Dance
-Drill Run

Archeops
Defeatist
Jolly
-Acrobatics
-Equake
-Stone Edge
-Dragon Claw

Sometimes ill replace Balloon with Life Orb on Excadrill and Scarf my Arch and replace Acrobatics with U-turn and place him in lead then scout with U-turn and come in on an Electric/Fire move with Ttar to start the sand storm like that and set up a DDance. ALL the pokemon in this team can check anything but Bulky Water Types

 

[pokehearts]

My Teams going to be

Arcanine
Flare Blitz
Wild Charge
Double Kick
Fire Fang

Flygon
Dragon Claw
Fire Blast
Draco Meteor
Earthquake

Lucario
Aura Sphere
Psychic
Extreme Speed
Calm Mind

 

[Boarbeque]

I actually used an ingame team for this rather an EV trained one like most people.

I used Darmanitan, Archeops, Sawsbuck.

Darmanitan (Jolly) Life Orb
Earthquake
Flare Blitz
Rock Slide
Brick Break

Archeops (Jolly) Expert Belt
Earthquake
Rock Slide
Acrobatics
Crunch

Sawsbuck (Jolly) Big Root
Jump Kick
Horn Leech
Wild Charge
Megahorn

Darmanitan and Archeops are very similar to eachother and I have both of them just for safety reasons. Things Darmanitan and Sawsbuck cant handle, for example: Simipour, my Archeops can.

 

[Pwnyta Jockey]

Though I have not gotten a great win streak, I love how:

Unnerve Galvantula

...performs. Keeping berries from being eaten was so nice.

Swords Dance Sturdy Skarmory is yet another that did me well, while it was alive.

 

[Erufuun]

Well, I have actually been planning one for awhile! <3

Erufuun @ Leftovers
252 Def/ 252 Spl Def / 6 HP
Bold/Impish Nature
Prankster
-Leech Seed
-Substitute
-Protect
-Taunt/StunSpore

Volcanora @ Lum Berry
252 Spl Att/ 252 Spd/ 6 Spl Def
Modest Nature
Flame Body
-Quiver Dance
-Bug Buzz
-Fiery Dance
-HP Rock/Hurricane

Cloyster @ Focus Sash
252 Att/ 200 Spd/ 58 Spl Att
Naughty
Skill Link
-Icicle Spear
-Rock Blast
-Hydro Pump

Think it would work? :3

 

[lamby101]

I just recently beat the subway master in the double battles, my team was:

Krookodile
EQ
Crunch
Dragon Claw
Bulk up

Samurott
Waterfall
Ice Beam
Megahorn
Protect

Haxorus
Dragon Claw
Brick Break
EQ
Protect

Galvantula
Thunder
Bug Buzz
Sucker Punch
Protect

Stuck protect on all of them so that Krookodile could EQ freely without damaging my own pokemon. It wasn't a well thought up team I just put a group of my pokemon together and hoped for the best, I'm trying to grind to get the EV boosting items at the moment so I can start EV training.

Currently planning a rain dance team, will post that up here if it has any success.

 

[Skapocalypse]

Tauros 252 speed/252 atk/ 4 hp

Stone edge
Ariel ace
Close Combat

Jynx 8 hp/248 sp.atk/252 speed

Nintendo WFC Teams?

I've played a few ranked matches on WFC (single battle only), and so far I have yet to come across a really great team given that one is limited to only three Pokemon. If you play WFC, have you found a combination of three you really like? If so, post it here.

Well, rather than having three threads covering teams, I decided to merge this with the battle subway team thread and rename it so that it can apply to wifi teams, too. And in general for in-game team posting, we have the "what is your team?" thread.

 

[Impo]

As soon as there is a way to get a DW Snivy, and I clarify if you can breed egg moves with DW Abilites, I want to try this team out;

Swellow @ Choice Band
Adamant. Scrappy.
4HP|252Atk|252Spd
Return
U-Turn
Brave Bird
Whirlwind

Basically with Scrappy available, I can hit ghosts and everything. This is my main attacking move, with U-Turn for scouting and Brave Bird for STAB. Whirlwind for phasing, if I must. Of course, this movepool is rather bad, and if I encounter steels or rocks I have to switch to Alakazam.

Alakazam @ Expert Belt/Psychic Gem
Modest. Magic Guard.
4HP|252SpAtk|252Spd
Psyshock
Psychic
Shadow Ball
Focus Blast

Well, I think it's self explanatory. Psyshock and Psychic for STAB, and in case I cross a Blissey. Shadow Ball for any Ghosts, and Focus Blast for steels and rocks, as my Swellow can't take them.

Serperior @ Leftovers/Big Root
Bold. Contrary.
252HP|252SpAtk|4Spd
Leaf Storm
Giga Drain
Hidden Power [Water]
Leech Seed

With the ability Contrary, all stat changes are reversed. This allows for a +2 Sp Atk increase whenever I use Leaf Storm. Taking that to my advantage, Giga Drain and Leech Seed for survivability, and HP [Water] for Fire types.

---
I'll probably have some big flaws, though

 

[Zenfyre]

Currently I've been using this team for the Subway and it has been pretty successful.

*bulbagarden.net image removed* Sigilyph
Item: Rocky Helmet | Ability: Magic Guard
Nature: Timid | EVs: 252 Spd (Haven't trained him for HP yet; needed the power item.)

Moves:
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Psycho Shift
- Roost

Only partially EV trained, his HP EVs will be worked on now that I have the Power Weight. I still have to save up for a Flame Orb however. He's been doing really good despite this but the Subway likes to troll me with Dark-types and Pokemon with Sturdy.

*bulbagarden.net image removed* Chandelure
Item: Brightpowder | Ability: Flash Fire
Nature: Modest | EVs: 252 SpAtk / 252 Spd

Moves:
- Shadow Ball
- Flamethrower
- Energy Ball
- Pain Split

Barely anything can survive a hit from her and if they do, they're usually left at critical health. I still need to get a better item for her but I still have to save up for a lot of things.

*bulbagarden.net image removed* Mienshao
Item: Wide Lens | Ability: Regenerator
Nature: Jolly | EVs: Don't know. She was part of my in-game team.

Moves:
- U-Turn
- Rock Slide
- Aerial Ace
- Hi Jump Kick

Pretty useful even though she's not EV trained. She takes care of the Dark-types that try to harm my Sigilyph. Wide Lens is pretty nice for Rock Slide and Hi Jump Kick too as it increases the accuracy from a 10% chance of missing to a 1% chance. Once my Scrafty is EV trained I'll use him in her place.

I finally got to fight the Subway Master for the first time with these three, and won (mostly thanks to my Chandelure). Now I can buy a Power Weight and finish EV training my Sigilyph to be even more successful.

 

[Gothitelle.]

Double Battles, I have:

item: Razor Claw/Fist plate
Nature: Hardy
Moves: Thunderbolt, Brick Break, Psychic, Shadow Ball

and

Item: Lustrous Orb
Nature: Timid
Moves: Earthquake, Strength, Surf (to be replaced), Dragon Pulse

These ladies get the job done XD

 

[Impo]

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.

[DeeJay]

Hey folks, I originally tried to start my own thread before seeing this one ^_^

I've been working with my Gen IV team until I settle on Gen V additions. It looks like lots of folks like the Chandelure. What about something with Prankster?...

Right now, I'm dying to throw in a Hydregion I've specially bred (Outstanding IVs, Modest, knows Dark Pulse, Draco Meteor, Fire Blast, & Scary Face (replace this one?).

Here's what I have so far for the Super Singles:
Garchomp (Focus Sash)
Swords Dance, Outrage, Earthquake, Stone Edge

Starmie [Modest, Natural Cure] (Life Orb)
Surf, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Ice Beam

Scizor [Adamant, Technician]
Swords Dance, Superpower, Bullet Punch, Bug Bite

Any advice on who to throw onto this team? Or items? I'm still acquiring all of the BP items in Gen. V and I wish (WTF WHY CANT WE TRANSFER THEM?!) I all had the berries.
