Starmie is so underrated. Sigh...
And the sad thing is its not even the worst thing in the battle. Lol torment+acid armour+gunkshot muk?
Using butterfree over vivilon
Quiver dancing even after reaching +6....... what a joke
Torment much?
Although I agree, Vivillon>Butterfree. Plus that mixed Aurorus and parahax level rivaling Jirachi.
Oh yeah.....what was up with the aurorus? Why facade over nature power? That is aurorus does learn nature power right? That move ends up being almost as strong as blizzard after refrigerate.
seen that set before and even used a small variation with giga drain /coil/ drain punch / zap cannon
its very fun to use
I know. It is fun to use. It's funny that the guy ragequits, though.
Brightpowder Latios.
No, I'm not kidding. The really sad part is that it actually ended a would be 5-0 sweep because I missed twice with Bug Buzz.
Also, using Abomasnow AND Ninetales with no weather abusers when both of these Pokemon are terrible on their own? Seems legit.
Sadly, I couldn't save the replay because Showdown had high traffic.

A team with 6 Belly Drummers, including Slowbro, Snorlax, Linoone, Azumaril, Splerf, and 1 more I can't remember.

Abomasnow isn't a terrible Pokémon on it's own, Abomasnow is just like your other bulky/offensive(depending on the set) grass type, with several unique tricks up its furry(and political) sleeves, and also, since when did hail got an abuser? Yeah, yeah, I know BlizzSpam and Stallrein and friends but it was only good back in Gen IV. The only effective way to use hail this generation is to take advantage of 6% damage every turn and to distrupt other weathers, which Abomasnow is good at as it severly dents - if not OHKO other weather inducers if they think of switching in.

This isn't actually you playing against the Air Balloon Salamence person, right? I threw up in my mouth a little when I watched that game, absolutely disgusting. The thought that people this bad could voice their opinion on a competitive battling board makes me shiver. I'd actually say the one who lost is the better player and just got really bad luck.
alakazam with an iron ball(I suppose) under trick room, my haxorus was faster lol
That's not me. There's no way I would play against someone that bad.
Doesn't Iron Ball just plain make you go last? I know Lagging Tail does that, but I don't know about Iron Ball...
Pikachuun
the entire waruda machine
It halves your speed. That's it.
Okay, so theoretically, it could make you go first under Trick Room. I dunno how the Haxorus undersped it, unless he just annihilated the moron as he tried to Trick Room.
Minimum speed/0 IV/Negative nature Alakazam = 220 speed
Uninvested/Neutral nature Haxorus = 230 speed
Which means unless you used a negative speed nature on Haxorus, it is possible for Alakazam to be slower without an item. Not that it's a good idea...
Dick jokes?
...Hahahahaha, that is just awesomely hilarious. "Well I screwed that up. Rage quit!"
Wouldn't krookodile/palkia work better for that?
He had to because of Torment. So, not as bad as it could be.
Dat sexy 150 base power. Wait, you could be using Return and doing 50% more damage over that two-turn span!
