Just looking for some advice, what is a decent composition of roles for Super Singles?

Nothing because the AI will find a team to fuck over yours. Just switch 1 or 2 pokemon out for others every 5 battles to keep it guessing.

I run chandelure rotom-w and mega mawile.

Chandelure is first, and usually the game in super singles counters your first pokemon, so I swap into rotom-w. If the game brings a counter to rotom w i switch into chandelure.

The logic is pretty lulzy actually.

I'll be running something along the lines of Klefki, Technician Breloom and a special sweeper, not decided on which yet, perhaps Mega-Alakazam.

I use Breloom, Mega Alakazam, and Gliscor. I place Breloom (Atk and +Speed Ev) with technician) in first, Spore, Power Up-Punch x2, Bullet Seed, and thats game. If I feel threatened I use substitute.

Never go with complex competitive sets requiring setup because that shit will backfire once the computer cheats with a perfect counter. Just stick to bulky and powerhouse sweepers with a wide range of moves-- leading with Protean Greninja with UTurn reverse cheats the system and seems to generate a lot of physical water, grass, and electric types-- so I usually team him up with AV goodra to soak special hits and Avalugg to deal with physical hits. Uturn out of bad situations. I've gotten to just over 50 wins with these three, but the computer eventually stacks the odds against you with perfect counters.

For the most part people seem to be running some variation of

>Bulky attacker who can handle things sweeper cannot
>Speedy attacker opposite on physical/special spectrum from bulky attacker to handle threats

Every single person holding records in the hundreds from Subway and Gen 4 battle facilities always ran some sort of advanced setup, usually with choice scarf tricking Mesprit.

That's great, but we're limited in variety of setups and teams until pokebank launches and the Maison turned it's cheating ability up to 11. This is about what consistently generates success in a comptetion that unabashedly loves to cheat by activating quick claws while using obscure moves that just happen to be your kryptonite. As of right now, that strategy is going full throttle offense with M-Khan, Greninja, Megachicken and teaming them up with complimentary bros that can reliably switch in (undoubtably to a move it's weak to--fucking cheating battle maison can predict a switch with 100% accuracy).

Besides, those huge setups always require a substitute to prevent that exact situation.

Not just type-wise, even. It will generate mons with bullshit moves and cheap items to activate on command. It knows what move you use before you use it. It knows if you will switch and will react in a manner that perfectly fucks your day up. It knows who you are, where you live, your entire lifes history, your favorite food, your mother's maiden name, your favorite color of Jello-- it knows you better than you know you.

It is a perfect sentient being, capable of foresight. The only way to truly beat the Maison is to erase your saved game, destroy your cartridge/SD card, and vanish into the wilderness free from the all-seeing eye of the wired world.

... Or is it?

i'm at 100 wins in a row with megakhan, chandelure, and ferrothorn.

the ai is really predictable and they cover eachother perfectly. khan attracts fighting type which chandelure can switch into and take out. ferrothorn attracts fire types which chandelure literally eats up and then sweeps. chandelure can take out any ghosts that khan can't hit. ferrothorn tanks on most everything but most importantly bulky water and ground pokemon. chandelure draws ghost type and then khan switches in and kills them with double sucker punch.

you gotta just know when to switch and know likely movesets and it's all easy sailing from there.

imo you want 1 bulky sweeper, 1 wall, and 1 revenge killer.

My team was:

Noivern @ Life Orb
Infiltrator
Timid 252 SAtk 252 Speed 4 HP
Draco Meteor
Air Slash
Flamethrower
Taunt

Gyarados @ Gyaradosite
Intimidate
Adamant 156 HP 72 Atk 96 Def 184 Speed
Dragon Dance
Waterfall
Earthquake
Ice Fang

Aegislash @ Weakness Policy
Stance Change
Relaxed 252 HP 252 Atk 4 SDef
King's Shield
Swords Dance
Sacred Sword
Shadow Sneak

Taunt ruins a lot of enemies in the Maison, and as such Noivern was my undeniable MVP. The nuke that is Draco Meteor helped a lot too, and Air Slash flinch hax saved my ass in one fight.

With taunt support the other two are free to boost and sweep. AI doesn't really know how to fight Aegislash, and Megados with a few dances under his belt is nigh unstoppable.

Most of the time you can set up 1 swords dance and sweep, but as the guy above me said never take risks and try to keep your whole team alive until the last pokemon.

I've had only bad experiences with the durant strat it's all bullshit. each battle takes like 3-5 minutes and you're doomed to be countered eventually. i got extremely lucky where the opposing leads who had protect would not use it the 1st turn against entrainment, the ones with quick claw would not have it activate to ohko or taunt me, and the roar/whirlwinders chose not to phase me away UNTIL battle 79. I faced a skarmory with spikes, stealth rock, whirlwind, toxic. I knew exactly what I was up against the moment I saw the skarmory, and I managed to kill it. but the hazards were too much, and the last pokemon he had was a shiftry with fake out which finished me up. I used ninjask and cloyster instead of Dragonite and probopass though.
