Fastest way to steamroll team leaders?
Given that it's one of our daily chores I'm interested to see what the best strategies to deal with the masters team leader teams.
First off, who is the easiest trainer? I'm inclined to say Candela, then Blanche and finally Spark.
If facing Candela my strategy was to use either Latios (resists all moves from all 3 pokemon and has DBDC) or Kyogre (WF will take care of infernape, HP will take care of Electivire and WF will take care of Moltres)
I haven't clocked either of these strategies yet. Also have to take into account the randomness of enemy moves activation, but I suppose that can be taken out of the equation with some manual adjustments to the time.

Candela is the easiest. I use my L32 Latios (DB/DC) which resist anything Candela throws at me. None of Candela’s mon is able to fire a charge attack. Took me around 60 seconds to complete including all the lobbying and animation.
Spark, in my opinion, is next easiest. His lineup only got Milotic that is tanky and provide counter coverage to Ground.
Blanche is the most difficult among the 3. Lapras is tanky and Glissor partially cover the Electric weakness of both Lapras and Articuno. Both Lapras and Articuno lean towards the defensive side.
Just use a smackdown stone edge ttar against spark in master league. Spam quick moves for the magnetric (shield his charge attack then finish him without using a charge move on it), then open with a stone edge against the milotic and then again finish it with your smack down and save your chage move for the zapdos and you'll be good. Depending on your ttar's level, mine only requires me doing the 2 charge moves to sweep his team.
With a maxed Kyogre it shouldn't if you're smart about it. It's what I use anyway:
- Waterfall takes out Infernape
- A few Waterfall against Electivire finish charging Hydro Pump, which I'm 100% of the time able to fire off before it uses a charge move
- Waterfall takes out Moltres
She should never get the opportunity to use a charge move against a maxed Kyogre. A few Waterfall and one Hydro Pump handles Electivire before you'd need to shield.
I've been using Dragonite T/C+O against Candela:
Use Dragon Tail and one Dragon Claw against Infernape, then use Dragon Tail to finish it (maybe one shield if it has Flamethrower). Use a few Dragon Tails to finish charging, then one Outrage completely wipes out Electivire. Use Dragon Tail, then one Outrage to beat Moltres. (Electivire and Moltres never get off a charge attack.)
Gyarados against Candela's master team works great. Waterfall takes out infernape before he can get a charged attack off, then almost immediately Hydro Pump Electavire, who goes down to that, and then Moltres is cake. I don't even use my PvP Gyarados, I use an old raid one (PvP Gary has Outrage and Crunch, for better speed). At the end of the fight, I've used no shields, and Gary is barely into the yellow. Easy peasy.
I use a L40 Mewtwo with Shadow Ball + Thunderbolt, and the pattern is always the same and taking like 1 minute:
- Infernape: Charge until Shadow Ball and it's over.
- Electivire: Charge until Shadow Ball and finish it off with a few fast moves to charge it again.
- Moltres: Fire off Thunderbolt and finish it off with a few fast moves
