You really need a team of 3 that can cover eachothers weaknesses well. After a while you kind of know what the opponent is going to use, so you switch out depending. If i lead with my hydreigon and see a garchomp, i go into my jellicent immediately and burn it asap to cripple it. If I see a starmie, I go to my excadrill expecting a tbolt. Same with togekiss and twave.
Pick speedy pokes that are glass cannons, or get really bulky pokemon that can wall nicely. Sometimes you just get unlucky with the matchups and you just can't win.
This is the same conclusion I've come to for the battle subway. Hit hard and fast, but lose durability. Tank and increase your vulnerability to hax. I'm not sure which strategy works the best for me.
Cloyster has done pretty well for me, but he has some bad flaws. I have Ice Shard instead of Rock Blast to take care of priority, but I haven't seen many of those. If a bulky water comes in, I'm screwed since they resist all my moves. His SpD is just awful and can't take a hit for crap. However, if he gets a Shell Break in, he will take down at least one poke with Icicle Spear.
Some pokes I'm looking at are Archeops and the Nidos. Archeops will hit extremely hard and will work great as a lead. Nidoqueen is a great bulky tank and can deal out decent damage with Sheer Force. Nidoking w/ Life Orb and Sheer Force is just a monster, hitting many pokes with Flamethrower, Ice Beam, TBolt, and Earth Power. His speed is the only thing that lets him down.
I was wondering if anyone has some good teams to try out?
