How did their rankings get so high with teams like that? I mean who the actual hell puts a Choice Band on a Butterfree? Or uses a Butterfree with two boosting moves and no way to take advantage of either of them?
Did they use a random number generator to choose their Pokémon, and their held items, and their movesets? And maybe their EVs and IVs too while they're at it...?
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-98092402 -- Spinda + 5 fodder vs. the world
I will admit, I have used a TPP team on the ladder several times. Lapras is the best team member, by the way.
(By this, I mean a 'pure' TPP team. Actual movesets from the stream and all.)
I forgot to mention something else: Someone was carrying overheat on a SD Talonflame....
I've seen banded Banette before that's all special. I laughed then I facepalmed :P
Also seen Dig Excadrill, aaaaand a special mamo, which someone else has seen :P

Nope. Not kidding. You want a wall, use something that actually has good defenses.
He wasn't saying that Talonflame was the end-all be-all wall, he was just making a point that a defensive, support oriented set works pretty well.
The Shellder Smuggler
Banned deucer.
Well, then that point was terribly executed.
On another note, this thread is probably the most fun I've ever had on a thread, because it's funny watching people criticize other people that don't know that one person is cricizing them.
Sableye is a wall, its defenses are mediocre :\
The Shellder Smuggler

Not a bad point actually :/
Quoted from the 'current metagame trends' thread. (Where actual good players post)- Like Mega Charizard X, Talonflame at the top level has switched from being used as a revenge killer to a support Pokemon. Players have realized Talonflames typing coupled with Defog support, a super fast Will-O-Wisp, decent bulk and priority Roost and Brave Bird make him great at more things than its CB counterpart. It can still revenge kill a lot of stuff in a pinch, but now it can stay in on things like Rotom-W, burn them, roost the damage, and cripple it for the rest of the game. Its resistance to Fairy typing also make it a prime switch to Clefable and Mawile, while also being able to outstall Heatran.

You can raise a point, but you do not have right to be a dick (applying to me too). Saying that I am not a good player is simply just being an asshole, and doesn't exactly help your point.
As for the quote, you're right. I guess talon flame does have a small defense niche
I wasn't trying to be a dick, it's just that I almost never see a top player posting in this thread.
Okay, I guess Spinda is OP to some players. So can anyone raise (lower?) the bar by replacing Spinda with Feebas and still manage to win?

Not everyone's amazing, I've seen better players on this thread and some mediocre players on the thread.

amen
So, I literally just made an account to post this battle that I saw (I've been lurking since the release of X&Y). I found it humorous

Sky Attack Chesto Berry Gliscor. What would ever inspire somebody to use this?

Wasn't too necessary. If someone agrees with you, it's best just to either accept it or be quiet. Honestly, I've seen some controversial comments from you as well, but haven't said so.
Back on topic, I went on hackmons and faced a whole team of Porygon-Z
I won.
