Gonna use it in Pokemon Pearl, in the Battle Tower. Here we go:

Starmie @ expert belt
Ability: ?
Evs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest nature
- surf
- ice beam
- thunderbolt
- psychic

Metagross @ Lum berry
Evs: 252 HP / 252 Atk
Adamant nature
- meteor mash
- bullet punch
- zen headbutt
- explosion

Weavile @ focus sash
Evs: 252 Speed / 252 Atk
Adamant nature
- ice punch
- night slash
- brick break
- taunt

So my thought about this team is that I lead with Starmie, who has really good type coverage, if the pokemon the "enemy" leads with is too strong for both Weavile and Starmie, like a lot of steel types, I switch into Metagross. In a lot of situations, it leads to an explosion. Starmie and Weavile are my sweepers. They are supposed to take care of each others' weaknesses, and the ones they can't cover Metagrosss is supposed to do. Well Weavile can take care of many different types, and take a hit because of focus sash.
Well what do you think of the team? I have been trying to get a 100 win streak for... way too long... god damn I just wanna die, its soooo annoying. Well Imma get that statue and trainer card star.

What's Starmie's ability? What happened last time you lost?
I think Metagross should have earthquake instead of bullet punch to hit steel harder. Weavile should definitely have 252 speed instead of HP because its defenses are too low for HP to matter very much. You might want to replace Weavile with Tyranitar for better stats and moves like dragon dance and earthquake.
Oh sorry, I meant 252 speed, wrote it wrong. I have actually tested Tyranitar, and while he is strong, he never helped me as much as Weavile did. Starmies ability is illuminate, which I know is completely useless but making another one just for an ability seems to take a bit too much time. Last time I lost is basically now, when I wright this, and it is because a bronzong that my metagross killed used trick room which made me lose. Answers are appreciated.
As someone who is also trying to get a 100 win streak in the Gen 4 Battle Tower, I have found this to be a useful resource after getting to the 50s: https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Battle_Frontier_Trainers_(Generation_IV)
Bronzongs have a 1/2 chance to not have levitate, so teaching earthquake to Metagross will hopefully reduce the chance of losing to Bronzong again.
(To krlw890) If you ever win or get a high score I would love to hear the details of the team, thank you!
