The XY Ubers Replays of Excellence Thread

[Jimmyftw]

A couple of battles I had on the ladder recently, first one against a Tribe Kid and the second one against Faint:

^I misplayed at the beginning of that match, we shared hax in the middle and near the end he burned my Arceus with Fire Blast and I though it was over until he made a major misplay. (see if you can spot it)

r1 in weekend tour, how do you win when your team is honchkrow/salamence/celebi/fairyceus/ferrothorn/aegislash?
The replay shows how stall can take suprising forms and still hold its own against other threats.

Good match I had with kebabe in Round 1 of Weekend Tour.

The Skarmory is mine as a matter of fact and it lacks Custap because Custap is unavailable.

Suicide leads in G6 are useless, custap or not. Defog users make one move more useful than an entire mon of yours. Additionally, when your opponent is unable to construct a mediocre team and doesn't really know how to play the game, you can't really have a replay of excellence

That isn't entirely true, there were quite abit of sticky web/HO teams lying around that rely on offensive pressure and/or shit ton of taunt users to ensure that your opponent cannot defog or in the off chance that they do, they're forced to pay a large price.

And don't forget to prevent Defog if you use a suicide lead. Otherwise, it may be a catastrophe if that move gets used.

A pretty decent match I had on the ladder. Although I'm not usually a stall player, it was fun to switch it up a bit.

Also, a good match against an unorthodox team, I'm using Hyper Offense this time.

Good casual game against Furai, Mega Charizard X is quite gnarly.

I was testing out on an alt account (SunnyGirl) a team, and stall happened. It's one of my most fun matches since I started playing, three months ago, and I decided to share.
Props to Artie315 :)

You literally could've just sent out resh turn 1, set up sunny day then spam blue flare to win.

Hey, I'm still learning :D
Stall clouds my judgement, I don't like it.

this thread really needs to be re-purposed....

To be honest, I think this thread should be run like UU's replay thread. PM a moderator with a log/replay then the mod can post it if he/she likes.

>no blue flare spam when sun was up
>resh switching out against ferro
-4 252+ SpA Life Orb Turboblaze Reshiram Blue Flare vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Ferrothorn: 296-348 (84 - 98.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
That's why Reshi switched out. Specially defensive Ferrothorn is a thing in ubers.

>pressure lugiass
Which proved to be extremely useful by stalling Ho-oh's Sacred Fire.

>random bad plays
There were no "bad plays". Mispredictions can and do happen in prolonged battles.

>bad opp, quote below
Opponent was fine.

artie315: multiscale lugia sucks, imo. (Sad part is I can't refute it since pressure was better than multiscale in this battle lol)
Multiscale Lugia kind of sucks on stall teams. This battle shows how Pressure can be much more useful to them.

>mono attacking cm steelceus
Nothing wrong about it. It also doubled as Defog supporter and Xerneas counter. The only alternative eould be Mega Scizor, who has bad special bulk in comparison.

>charm blissey
Gimmicky, but not completely useless.

>getting swept by cm steelceus when you have a Ho oh.
Said Ho-oh ran out of Sacred Fire PP early in the match, then it got Knocked Off. It couldn't do a damn thing to Steelceus.

You literally could've just sent out resh turn 1, set up sunny day then spam blue flare to win.
Not with Heatran around.

My comments in bold.

 

[EmblemLord]

Not with Heatran around.

Don't forget Turboblaze negates Flash Fire.

252+ SpA Life Orb Turboblaze Reshiram Blue Flare vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Heatran in Sun: 348-411 (90.1 - 106.4%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO

Any other variant gets OHKO by Blue Flare in Sun with ease.

Okay, this thread was a failed experiment. There'll be a new replays thread soon, dw.
