Ok seriously this thing is the bane of my existance. My record is like 50 or so with a few different guys I alternate with. Anyone have a good team or combination of the following? Items change depending on who I put in.

Garchomp/Choice Scarf
EQ
Fire Fang
Outrage
Rock Slide

Latios/Soul Dew
Tbolt
Ice Beam
Recover
Psychic

Weavile/Life Orb
Swords Dance
Return
Night Slash
Ice Punch

Gyarados/Life Orb
Taunt
Waterfall
Dragon Dance
EQ



Pretty typical stuff from all of them. I start with garchomp who pretty much outruns everyone and can at least go down fighting if it's weak to stuff. My first 3 have a pretty bad weakness to water/ice, so I use Gyrados when I feel unlucky. Any suggestions?

Give Weavile Brick Break over Return and have him lead for you.

You think that'll work with Latios/Garchomp or use Gyarados with it?

Switch Garchomp to Yache over Choice Scarf. Assuming it's Jolly you'll outrun everything in the tower anyway, and the few things that do manage to outspeed you won't manage to OHKO you unless they get absurdly lucky. Swap Fire Blast for Fire Fang (depending on IVs) and Rock Slide for Swords Dance: there's almost nothing in the tower that Rock Slide can hit that you won't hit harder with Outrage/EQ, and once you have a Swords Danced Outrage going it's GG for their team anyway.

Don't think Soul Dew works in the Battle tower for Lati@s, so I'd dump it (for leftovers or Life Orb, your choice). Since they're both faster than Garchomp I'd have him take point, and simply try to annihilate everything in your way in one hit with type coverage. Dragon Pulse/Surf/Calm Mind/Recover as a moveset, perhaps.

Probably would run Gyarados in your last slot over Weavile, since it helps cover the ice weaknesses of Garchomp and Latios and brings some needed bulk to the table too.
