Guess what. I made another battle tower team.

Question

Im sorry, its an addiction. If you dont know, I am trying to get a 100 Win Streak in the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Battle Tower. I have made way too many friking muthaflippin teams and spent around 300 hours on just the Battle Tower over the span of a year. I think I might have the team, but suggestions for teams that worked for you this far is appreciated. Wanna add that Im not doing IV's cos it takes SOOOOOO long in the older generations. Here's my team, tell me whatcha think.

Tyranitar
Moves - Earthquake, Dragon Dance, Rock Slide, Crunch
Item - Lum Berry
Evs - 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Hp
Ability - Sand Stream
Nature - Adamant

Garchomp
Moves - Arial Ace, Earthquake, Outrake, Fire Fang
Evs - 160 Hp, 252 Attack, 96 Speed
Item - Choice Scarf
Ability - Sand Veil
Nature - Adamant

Milotic
Moves - Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Recover, Toxic
Evs - 129 Hp, 129 Special Attack, 252 Defense
Item - Flame Orb
Ability - Marvel Scale
Nature - Timid
Fricking shiny btw cos like got it from an event that isnt available but i still got it cos im just dat epik

Right yeah as you might see I lead with Tyranitar, bulky with alotta chance to set up. The Sand Stream makes Grachomp easily able to avoid attacks, plus the Garchomp outspeeds like everything. The Milotic is sa safe switch being incredibly strong in both defenses, also being able to stall. Thoughts for improvements+

Great team! It’s just I would like you to counter garchomp’s weakness to fairy types.

Maybe you could replace Lum Berry with Chople Berry or Weakness Policy, but Lum Berry is okay if you want to keep it. Great though!

fairy isn't in gen 4

Well now, I just suggested this team a few hours but you changed the EVs but that's fine. I have a couple suggestions for this

The first is, don't use flame orb on Milotic. Trust me, sandstorm + burn damage severely cuts Milotic's longevity. Apparently sand is not a friendly place towards serpents. Give it leftovers instead so that the sandstorm won't bother it that much

The second is, don't use aerial ace on Garchomp. It's far too weak to deal any significant damage unless the ai uses a pokemon that is 4x weak to it since it lacks stab. Use stone miss instead or dragon claw if you don't wanna get locked into outrage

The last is, give Tyranitar roar replacing rock slide since dark hits everything for neutral or super effective damage except for steel, dark and fighting. Since you gave Garchomp choice scarf, it is important that you scout what pokemon the ai is using. You don't want to end up in a scenario where Garchomp is your last pokemon and the opponent has a flying type and you're locked into earthquake. I suggest using the Hippowdon I suggested for better results since a surprise brick break could end Tyranitar quickly. Also, don't use Tyranitar as an attacker. Garchomp already has that role. Use it as a bulky pokemon instead since dragon dance boosted attacks will hurt even without investment
