Other Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder: V2

[Skymin50]

Once I put Swords Dance on my Scarfed Terrakion :^)

I accidently ran Sub on my Banded Crawdaunt. Realized how dumb that was halfway through a match.

 

[Waffru]

I once knocked off an Eviolite from a Slowbro...

Greninja @ Choice Scarf
Jolly (assumed)
252 Atk / 4 ? / 252 Spe (assumed)
- Rock Slide
- Waterfall
- ?
- ?

just, god.

Thats not that bad. Special is 10x better but I'm sure you could pull off a fairly successful physical greninja.

 

[NoahStar]

When I saw the Donphan ranting, I thought I had accidentally clicked on the viability ranking thread. Please stop now before this becomes the new topic of discussion. As bad as Donphan is, it's still "OU" so it shouldn't be considered "silly" when you see it considering the other stories in this thread.

Donphan is UU and was rejected from getting an OU analysis.

Off topicness out of the way, someone was using Focus Blast on Azumarill. When I asked him why, he said that he prefered using it to Superpower because of the stat drop....and didn't care about Azu's terrible Sp.Atk.

 

[fightnugget]

someone posted this on the pokemmo board. that goddamn ability (and that x moveset:) http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-85539352

 

[Gachikaze]

lol return on azu

 

[HackerKing]

so many people rage quit against that guy, he has no soul, it's the most frustrating thing in the world

It's actually more terrifying when you notice he has a 1.5k rating.

WTF swagger.

It's pretty funny. Parafusion Swagger seems fun to watch. Obviously not fun to play against.

 

[Poopfist]

A Wobbuffet with tickle, I don't think I've ever encountered that move before that ever, not even in game.

 

[aVocado]

Yeah, but it looks like the Scarf is kinda the real kicker here. Greninja is already fast and a special Scarf set even isn't considered viable. Physical Scarf is just laughable. Question: did the Greninja at least have Protean?

Yeah, it did. :P

Also, physical greninja of all kinds is dumb as fuck and not even gimmicky, it's straight up unviable.

I saw him on the Suspect ladder too. Please don't tell me, he's trying to get voting reqs with a Swagger team

I need to hurry up and get better so I can fight this monster. Reminds me of that one character from Armored Core 2 where there was a guy in the lower ranks just to troll with people.

 

[michaeloche]

Actually, that's a standard move on Wobuffet. It's not useful, but what else are you going to give it? Destiny Bond?

Tickle is an event move btw. And I've seen Safeguard on Wobbs, it's actually decent.

 

[Liquidocelot]

Dig ninjask..... Enough said. Funny thing was he got to +3 attack and still couldnt kill my offensive mega manectric.

Does this need explanation?

Pin missle jolteon makes it return, slowly but surely it is becoming a staple on many OU teams, including the one Emmy2 mentioned on page 3. Oh, and let's not forget the other innovative plays it makes, like toxic stalling a torterra.

+3 252 Atk Ninjask Earthquake (80 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Mega Manectric: 408-480 (145.1 - 170.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

How? Unless it's a negative nature, lacks any EVs, and has an IV of 0, it should kill Manectric, always. :|

Well, this is "Silly Things You've Seen on the OU Ladder," so a Ninjask without EVs doesn't sound impossible.

Laddering OU suspect when I bump into Sawk, absorb bulb Empoleon, Balloon Dragonite, mixed Garchomp with surf, and Iron Tail Megazard-X.

Random Shit volume 24: I Should be Partying Edition
-Payback Chandelure.
-Greninja using Power-up Punch when it already had +6 Attack courtesy of BellyPass from Smeargle. Oh, and it was against a Weezing.
-Life Orb Hitmonchan. Okay, it might be viable in a lower tier, but probably not in OU.
-Flash Fire Ninetales.
-Tyranitar failing to understand what Air Balloon does. Against the aforementioned Ninetales, no less.
-Weakness Policy Blissey with Thunder. And both Wish and Softboiled.
-Genesect with Normal Techno Blast.
-Victreebel with Sunny Day, Solarbeam, and Giga Drain.
-Destiny Bond Aegislash. And it actually worked.

I'm just gonna stop posting in this thread because I'm dummy. Continue as you were!

Amending this statement to "I'm no longer answering people's questions".

This is a train wreck.

Carvanha on one team, and a team of all pokemon capable of mega-evolving... Most of which aren't too common otherwise. Notably Mawile.
Full of misplays and silliness as well. Fly Charizard-Y. Keeping him in and using fly while badly poisoned. Good job.

EDIT: oh, and focus punch Snorlax. Without sub.

It's that guy again.

Can't think of a better illustration of how anticompetitive prankster swagger is though.

I saw him on the Suspect ladder too. Please don't tell me, he's trying to get voting reqs with a Swagger team

The sad part is it's gonna work because trying to fight through it without an infiltrator mon is an exercise in extreme frustration. Trying to stall out swagger PP doesn't work when there's 6 of them. :|

I saw him on normal ladder. I just spammed switch out and recovery moves. First time I've ever seen someone who uses that bullshit ragequit lol.

 

[Emmy2]

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-85683761 <-- a team consisting entirely of Tyranitar, Aron, Rattatta. He quit when I got rocks up.

I've faced that guy on the normal ladder, I didn't ragequit, but I had to leave to help move something, and didn't get back in time :/

 

[trc]

I am going to post my own recent experience. Upon laddering with a new alt, I encountered an Alakazam that Tricked me a Sticky Barb and a Charge Beam Blissey with Wise Glasses.

 

[Always!]

Well, I have seen SubCM Blissey, which made me laugh.....

Seems like those sets are more seen on specially based pokemon?

 

[Sergeant Spooky]

Scarfed fucking Aegislash.
