Thunderus-T is very good at scaring out Mega Slowbro's checks such as Tapu Koko and Bulu. U-turn let's it keep momentum by...
Side note: When I was in Hawaii, there were lots of vacationing Japanese ladies dressing classy exactly like Ezra! Unlike their unclassy American counterparts who are in tank top and shorts. Those Japanese ladies sure know how to look nice <3
I got some streaks with two story theme team. One is a fail streak and the other one is barely board worthy, but still worth reporting. And here they are
Team #1: Ho-oh's Johto Furry Shop. Meow meow!
(Streak 76 in Ultra Moon Super Singles)
Three mysterious Pokemon, reincarnated by the sacred...
How many guys with Ice attacks do you need? Lol. We could keep the Zen Headbutt and replace the Ice Punch instead.
Brick Break is another option, or the Electric Terrain boosted Thunder Punch could be really fun too.
Yes, I get what you are saying in how they can end a streak. But when something like Regigigas is paired with a Pokemon that can straight up OTK my guys, the choice between going after the guy who might kill me versus the guy who will definitely kill me is pretty easy to make.
It just feels to me like one of those early Tree opponents that tries to annoy so its partner can have an easier time killing me. It doesn't really pressure me except praying that the RNG God is on its side today. Its sets just seem like they are meant to stall out in singles and didn't carry...

Since I am terribly unoriginal, I just let the game story decide my team for me. And it's one big happy family!
Battle Tree Super Doubles, Ultra...
Alternatively, you can run Mega Venusaur for being a good complement weakness wise for your other two guys, or Mega Manectric to make anyone who tries to zap your Minior pay dearly.
Reporting 2 streaks. One for the leader board, one not so much...
The first team is actually from way back when I was still playing Sun. I just stopped it at 120 because the team got a little bit too boring to play. Since then, I've banked the team to Ultra Moon and just left it aside. Here's...
Yes, Aqua Tail does have a tendency to miss at an inopportunate moment, but the team is resilient enough to live thru any misses. I usually use Waterfall in singles and Aqua Tail in doubles, because there are less opportunities to setup Dragon Dance in doubles and that little bit of immediate...
I finally got access to the Ultra Moon Battle tree. It appears that there are some new sets. Here is me taking a crack at it with a Super Doubles streak of 124, losing to a Cresselia Trick Room set that I wasn't aware of.
Mega Man and Friends:
Originally I opened with Mega Man over...
