I was wanting to try out a setup I've seen once. There's an ability introduced in Gen 4 called Skill Link, which makes multi-hit moves always hit the maximum number of times for that move. In Gen 4, this only belonged to Shellder and Cloyster, though more pokemon gained access to it in later generations through hidden abilities. The idea was to give Cloyster a King's Rock to take advantage of one thing: while holding a King's Rock (which makes ordinary moves gain the secondary effect of being able to flinch opponents), multi-hit moves have a separate flinching chance for each hit, making them more likely to flinch an opponent. While using this setup in the Battle Hall, I actually got a 50 battle win streak and got challenged by the Frontier Brain. Here's how it went.
