This is for the battle subway

Haxorus @ Life OrbAbility: Mold BreakerEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeAdamant Nature- Outrage- Earthquake- Dragon Dance- Dragon Claw / Superpower

Dragons are ridiculous in this generation. Since there is no Black Kyurem allowed, might as well use the second hardest hitting dragon. Simple moveset. Outrage is main stab with earthquake for steels. Dragon dance if you can just go crazy, why not go crazy. Dragon claw is slashed with superpower in case its needed but dclaw is usually good enough

Lucario @ Leftovers / Life OrbAbility: SteadfastEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Extremespeed- Shadow Claw- Close Combat- Swords Dance

Serves as another wall breaker while picking off low hp targets. Shadow claw and cc provides a near perfect coverage while sd is sd. Also provides safety against the pesky ice types

Garchomp @ Focus Sash / Salac BerryAbility: Sand VeilEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Dragon Claw- Earthquake- Swords Dance- Stone Edge / Substitute

Serves as the main cleaner. Sd three attacks should be used if sash is the item while salac berry with substitute. This set mainly serves to clean up since Garchomp has above average bulk so it can safely get an sd. Dragon claw and earthquake are stabs which the former can be swapped with outrage

Battle Subway Doubles!..Possible Sweepers

Zoroark @ Focus SashAbility: IllusionEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid / Modest Nature- Dark Pulse- Nasty Plot- Flamethrower- Taunt / U-Turn

The availability of Dark Pulse as a tutor move in B2/W2 makes things much easier. Nasty Plot is a must on a Special Sweeper Zoroark and Focus Sash lets it survive a hit while setting up a Nasty Plot. Dark Pulse is a very good STAB and Flamethrower cancels Bugs as well as Steels that resists your Dark Pulse. U-Turn can be used switch out and Taunt is there to prevent your foes to set up.

Lilligant @ Leftovers / Lum BerryAbility: Own TempoEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Leech Seed- Sleep Powder- Quiver Dance- Petal Dance

LeechSleep + Making use of Own Tempo. After putting down your foe to sleep, set up a few Quiver Dances and you’re ready to sweep with Petal Dance! Minus the confusion due to Own Tempo. Leech Seed is a good way to recover + hurt your foe along with passive recovery with Leftovers.

Mienshao @ Life Orb / Focus SashAbility: RegeneratorEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- High Jump Kick / Drain Punch- Swords Dance / Bulk Up- U-Turn- Knock Off

Emboar @ Rocky Helmet / Life OrbAbility: BlazeEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Flare Blitz- Earthquake / Thunder Punch- Rock Slide / Hammer Arm / Superpower- Bulk Up

Another physical sweeper that counters half of the Subway Twins' Pokemon. Flare Blitz is an obvious high powered STAB. EQuake is there if you want something that is hard-hitting and ThunPunch as well as RSlide is coverage. Hammer Arm and Superpower is Fighting STAB. Bulk Up is a set up move that raises both attack and defense.

Possible Supporter/Setter

Audino @ Mental Herb / LeftoversAbility: RegeneratorEVs: 252 Def / 252 SpD / 4 HPCalm / Bold Nature- Heal Pulse- Protect / Safeguard- Simple Beam- Helping Hand / Filler

Support time! Mental Herb cancels Taunt but you can also go for Leftovers. Heal Pulse heals up the mon you partnered with her Simple Beam makes the set-up sweepers deadly. Helping Hand can be used to power up the power of the sweeper you partnered her with.

Whimsicott @ Focus Sash / Mental HerbAbility: PranksterEVs: 252 Spe / 252 Def / 4 AtkJolly Nature- Stun Spore- Toxic- Tailwind / Swagger- U-Turn

A status setter! After finishing her work, pivot out with U-Turn. Toxic and Stun Spore is self-explanatory, I think. Tailwind supports your team and Swagga' confuses your opponents - Most useful against special attackers (Imagine Toxic + Confusion, hoho)!..Personally, my favorite team to use is:

The sweepers are strong, there are counters for Emmet and Ingo, and there is a reliable bulky support. Hope you enjoyed this team!

Battle Subway - B2W2

Cinccino @ Choice BandAbility: Skill LinkEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Tail Slap- Bullet Seed- Rock Blast- U-turn

Reason: Skill Link makes Tail Slap, Bullet Seed and Rock Blast hit 5 times and Choice Band to increase power.

Tyranitar @ LeftoversAbility: Sand StreamEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpDAdamant Nature- Crunch- Earthquake- Rock Slide- Ice Punch

Good Pokémon with high HP and Defenses, good counter for Ingo’s Klinklang, Garbodor, Haxorus and Chandelure and Emmet’s Klinklang, Garbodor, Haxorus, Chandelure, Galvantula and Archeops.

Volcarona @ Life OrbAbility: Flame BodyEVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 SpeModest NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Flamethrower- Quiver Dance- Giga Drain- Bug Buzz

Reason: Great sweeping Pokémon with Quiver Dance, Flamethrower and Bug Buzz. Good counter for Ingo’s Klinklang and Excadrill and Emmet’s Klinklang, Excadrill, Durant and Galvantula.
