I think so, because the fact that they couldn't handle a Spinda says a lot about them as a battler.

Seriously, megahorn over pin missle?

You missed Flame Charge Zebstrika and the fact that he didn't even blink an eye at Fly Hydregion.
Hey...don't bug him too much. That's what my 7 year old self gave Charizard in Red.
I've ran into people using ThunderPunch on Dragonite twice in a row. I mean, really?
Also, in something that fits more, someone was using a defensive Talonflame with Flame Body and Toxic. Read that over a couple times. Let that sink in.

This guy lost to an ALL METRONOME TEAM.
Google Translate:
"rick9078: dude
rick9078: you have only Arceus
rick9078: you find it strange then that I lose!
rick9078: s"
Best quote of the century people. Best quote of the friggin' century.

Defensive Talonflame isn't that bad with stuff like priority roost and Tailwind, and Will-o-Wisp.
I know. I'm just saying that defensive Talonflame can work.

It's funny when noobs forget Sleep Clause.

I think his point was that they were running both Toxic and Flame Body on the same set.
...Greninja'd I think?
I didn't save a replay but some time after pokebank was released someone used a physical LATIAS! It had Sucker Punch/Hone Claws/Zen Headbutt/Outrage... Physical latis are bad enough. He didnt have to use the set on a latias.
Actually, if you want to use a physical Lati with priority for whatever reason, Latias is your only option. After all, Latios does not learn Sucker Punch.
And now for some meta silliness: (Not metagame silliness, but silliness that's meta.)
Meloetta learns Hone Claws and not Swords Dance. First off, does she even have claws to sharpen? Secondly, she's a dancing Pokémon! So why is her only dance move Teeter Dance?
Celebi learns Aerial Ace and Cut, but does not get X-Scissor, Leaf Blade, Acrobatics, Shadow Claw, or any other move that might appear to utilise a similar method of attack. What sort of weapon are you using that you can perform the Turning Swallow Cut and not any of those other moves?
Silly Game Freak is silly.

Awkward Battles #1: Know Your Role Model! Edition (inspired by many, so this is a shout out to you!)
- Kids, Ash is an awful role model: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-98007565
- Swanna, who after releasing it DCs and forfeits.
- Bounce Greninja, on three straight occasions.
- I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer...but methinks that Focus Blast Bisharp is just...well...err...odd.
- Special Medicham.
- AV Chansey.

I feel like bringing calcs into this will solve everything, because 78/71/69 defenses just don't fix it for me.
252+ Atk Mold Breaker Mega Gyarados Waterfall vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Talonflame: 290-344 (80.5 - 95.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Priority roost won't fix that dent. Even if gyarados does get burned, there's still room for special calcs.
252 SpA Keldeo Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Talonflame: 324-384 (90 - 106.6%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
Slap a beneficial nature on Keldeo, and Talonflame wastes all its bulk for an OHKO
Sure, W-o-W and priority roost/tailwind is nice, but talon flame should stay banded.
I just found the greatest set I've ever seen.
Shedinja @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Wonder Guard
EVs: 252 HP (For Maximum Health...) / 252 Spe / 4 SAtk
Timid Nature
- Final Gambit
Shedinja's great at forcing switches, right? Well, now you can put it to using, incurring a whopping ONE DAMAGE on shedinja's counter, enabling your army of U-Turning bugs to come and and take advantage of their weakened counter.
... well, at least you might be able to stall them out of battle timeout by making them laugh too hard.

These calcs don't make any sense. Of course Talonflame isn't walling Keldeo or Gyarados, because they're water types. And Talonflame is a fire type. That's like saying this:
252+ Atk Mamoswine Icicle Crash vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Gliscor: 376-448 (106.2 - 126.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
"Nope. Gliscor can't work as a wall."
Of the two, only Latias gets Sucker Punch, and only Latios gets Dragon Dance. Game Freak be trollin'.
Also, off-topic comment:
Also, is it just me or is Celebi's name a mis-romanised French phonetic pun? "Celevi" is also a perfectly legitimate romanisation, and phonetically "Celevi" happens to approximate "C'est la vie", the French version of the English expression "That's life". Seems fitting for a Time Travel Pokémon and Guardian of the Forest, does it not? I mean, basically everyone's had the following conversation at least once in their life:
Person A: "I should have done X, but I didn't and Y happened."
Person B: "Eh, that's life."
So yeah, Celebi = Celevi = C'est la vie = That's life. Celebi for punniest Legendary 2014! (Or 1999, maybe...)

The fuck then? You want me to use fire types?
252+ Atk Arcanine Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Talonflame: 85-101 (23.6 - 28%) -- 89.4% chance to 4HKO
"TALONFLAME IS THE BEST WALLER!"
Neutral hits are probably your best option for analyzing a mon's tanking potential.

A team with 5 unquestionable OU pokes that I'm used to see in the 1500s... and a Mantine. Who leads and spams Mirror Coat.
Followed by a Mega Gardevoir who tries to stop my Aegislash with Confuse Ray.
