Just saw an unnerve Tyranitar. I know that it's been shown a lot on this thread, but the kicker here is that the rest of the team seemed suited for sandstorm. Most notably Cacturne, who's only possible use is in sand, and that Fling/Acrobatics Gliscor set that was cool at the start of gen 5.

Refresh is a pretty cool move IMO. It eliminates status problems. No more rage over getting burned or paralyzed! ...With that said, good luck finding a way to fit it onto a set without having to replace an even better move.
 
Pluck Malamar. Wut. The opponent for some reason had both Overheat and Fire Blast (plus a double focus miss) on his Megazard Y. The best part of this battle, though, was that it ended a draw.

Also, one of my opponents, who appeared to be running a Baton Pass team, took one look at my team and ragequit.

This doesn't even look like a random battle. This looks like Challenge Cup. Random at least has semi-viable sets on things. Challenge cup is entirely random.

Also since someone mentioned Refresh, I could see it having some use on a stall team, but Heal Bell/Aromatherapy are better.
 

dwarfstar

mindless philosopher
The thing is, even if it IS Challenge Cup, at least one of those players is pretty stupid. I'm pretty sure everyone who actually paid attention in story mode knows that Attract doesn't work on genderless opponents, and that using Heal Pulse is the most suicidal thing you can possibly do against most enemies 1v1 (discounting literal suicide moves, but at least all of those have some benefit for your side).
