Hello Again!
The next Global Mission has been announced and this time we're going to collect Battle Points in the Battle Tree. (source) I've had some fun with this team since the Pokemon Bank update was released and they were actually the first team to push me past 50 wins in Super Singles; maybe you'll have fun with them too?
If you're unfamiliar with the Truant Durant strategy, it goes like this:

If you're unfamiliar with the Truant Durant strategy, it goes like this:
- Lead with a fast Durant that has its Hidden Ability, Truant
- Use the move Entrainment on the opponent, giving them the ability Truant
- Switch to a stronger Pokemon with a set up move and Protect
- Alternate between Protects (when the opponent can move) and the set up move (when the opponent is loafing around) until you feel your stats are high enough
- Sweep up
- Collect Battle Points
- Durant won't always be faster.
- The opponent can use Protect as the first move and disrupt your rhythm (like my battle with Red here: YDGW-WWWW-WWW5-E54C).
- Opponents will occasionally High Jump Kick right into your Protects three times in a row (like this video 2QCW-WWWW-WWW5-E53V), giving you only two turns to set up.
- Two Pokemon with four attacking moves doesn't give much coverage.
This is for Sun and Moon only. To participate, deposit a Golbat in the GTS
