Don't know why people would think to put that on a 1V1 set... Maybe they are bored. :S

I wish I had more opportunities to bring Ditto in.

Random Shit volume 46: 502 Bad Gateway Edition
-Sandstorm Ninjask.
-Latios and Latias both randomly with Ice Beam. FYI: a 2x effective STAB Draco Meteor outdamages a 4x effective Ice Beam everytime. Never mind the fact that some of these also had DM.
-Pursuit Aegislash. On the one hand, it's utility. On the other, we've heard over 9000 complaints about confusing Dark with Ghost ITT.
-It's not every day you see a paraflinch Togekiss with a Weakness Policy.
-Sing+Wake-Up Slap Jynx. Looks good on paper, until you realize Jynx has a more accurate sleep move, plus only 50 base Attack.
-Poison Jab+Flash Cannon Cryogonal.
-Zorua. Not only that, but a Zoroark on the same team, plus another one on the opponent's team.
-Heatran using Earth Power on a Togekiss... with all of its surviving teammates being Flying type.
-X-Scissor Excadrill. I have yet to figure out what that actually hits.
-Regigigas is one thing, but having it use Brick Break on Chandelure?
-Berry Juice Latios.
-Just because you saw it on Youtube, doesn't mean it will work on PS: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-95530449
-Someone must have taken the Sheer Force special Tauros seriously. Only move I saw was Ice Beam, though.
-With all the stupid stuff on both sides, it's a wonder this was a 6-0: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-95544318
-I don't know what was more silly here: the battle or the chat: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-95539943
-A Belly Drum Slurpuff apparently didn't trust the accuracy of Play Rough against a Conkeldurr, so it used Thief instead.
-Drill Peck+Discharge+Maranga Berry Zapdos.
-RestTalk Skarmory.

that second battle was just......wow
HE SLUDGE WAVED A BISHARP, seriously, i think shadow ball would've won there
pursuit is a pretty good move on aegislash, yes dark+ghost move shenanigans but aegislash forces a lot of mons out so using pursuit is actually a very good option, it's in his analysis thread
everything else though is stupid
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS 502 BAD GATEWAY ALL THE TIME!!! YESSS! I'm starting to wonder if half the people on showdown even realize they're playing pokemon
This.. just this. I made some misplays, but my opponent was just silly.

Pursuit Aegislash is gimmicky, but ridiculously good. Do you have any idea how many switches that thing forces? And, after knowing that you have pursuit on it, how often people will leave things in on it that can't do anything to it? As I said, gimmicky, but no where near as silly/dumb as anything else you have listed.
X-Scissor Excadrill hits Espeon, Deoxys-S and D, Starmie and a few others but an EQ will majority of the time do more damage to them (Due to all of them except Deo-D having atrocious Physical defense). Also, the BW analysis had Shadow Claw instead, which I assume is for hitting Psychics as well. (And Ghosts too)
And I do admit to using that, now since then I changed that, but still.

Don't forget that special Mawile too.
DOUBLE EDGE SHEDINJA. This surely has raised the bar for the next posts
The most notable one was the rest on accelgor. I wonder which pokemon walls with those 80/40/60 defenses, maybe against unown or somethign like that.
I just did a random battle(my computer was so slow I had to forfeit, but whatever), and I got one of these. I just kept thinking that it was easily the most redundant thing I'd ever gotten. A FLYING-type with LEVITATE and an AIR BALLOON!?!?!? Wow...
The thing is that STAB Earthquake does more damage than a Super Effective Shadow Claw in most cases (ofc not against Gourgeist or Trevenant) and slightly less damage than a SE X-Scissor, so...

Featuring such OU staples as:
-Leech Seed / Toxic / Protect... Sceptile. That sure is gonna wear down those bulky attackers, especially with 70/65/85 defenses.
-Roar Skarmory
-Focus Sash... Cresselia. Because 120/120/130 defenses just aren't good enough.
-Mega Charizard Y, an auto-sun setter, on the same team as four Fire- weak mons. (And NO other Pokemon that can effectively make use of Sun.)
And, of course, the classic lack of knowledge about Magic Bounce. (See: Turn 5, Turn 8)

Pursuit Aegislash isn't bad at all, it traps a lot of counters to things like mega-zard y. Some of the best players (in SPL for example) run Pursuit on Aegislash.
Okay, I get it about Pursuit Aegislash. All 50 of you who replied to it.
Also, Dragon Dance+Dragon Tail Salamence.
Edit: Effect Spore Breloom with Energy Ball. And a random Poison Point Roserade, which, while not terrible, is inferior to Natural Cure IMO. And Hidden Power Leafeon.

The opposing Porygon-Z used Nasty Plot!
The opposing Porygon-Z's Special Attack sharply rose!
Conkeldurr used Knock Off!
The opposing Porygon-Z lost 50% of its health!
Conkeldurr knocked off the opposing Porygon-Z's Choice Specs!"
This same person was running Choice Scarf Milotic w/ Recover, and a Defensive + Agility + Baton Pass Jolteon.
Earlier this same night I saw a Swords Dance, special attacking Charizard... Without a mega stone.
