I saw a shell bell Talonflame trying to mitigate the brave bird recoil. That got a good laugh.
Flipflop, skarmory doesn't have gale wings.
That was an annoying team yeah.
Thankfully I was messing around with a mega aggron that didn't care diddly about all the swaggering. (Was messing with a silly phasing set that was based around iron defense+roar of all things) worked out really well against him.
Though not technically on the ladder, I saw this post on GameFAQs, on a thread about ragequits:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Sheer Force Tauros Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Samurott: 282-332 (85.1 - 100.3%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
And that's considering the Samurott has a neutral nature. Which a SpDef reducing nature, the chance raises to 62.5%.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, somebody was using a Choice Specs Tauros, and making it work.
So I decided to run the calculations to see if such a thing was possible:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Sheer Force Tauros Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Samurott: 282-332 (85.1 - 100.3%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
And that's considering the Samurott has a neutral nature. Which a SpDef reducing nature, the chance raises to 62.5%.

Round 6 of "Can you watch this without injuring yourself?" http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-100286451
- Hyper Beam Porygon-Z? It's powerful, but recharge fucks you over...and he could've used ice beam on gligar...
- He used T-WAVE ON MY NIDOKING
- Mega Aggron with avalanche...and doesn't OHKO my eviolite gligar...
- He switched in rhyperior to take a fucking bullet punch?
- Alomomola
- Why'd alomomola stay in with breloom? (Trying a technician set btw, working great)
- Healing wish is fair enough, I guess.
- Seriously, where the fuck is ice beam?
- What the hell, he used t-wave on a 1 HP Breloom?
:/

Random Shit volume 59: Not Sick Anymore Edition
-Torrent Greninja with Hydro Cannon.
-Switching int Delphox on an EQ and somehow surviving.
-Draco Meteor Tyrantrum. Please stop doing that. It then used Dragon Claw and a resisted HP on Azumarill.
-Non Magic Guard Alakazam using Psychic on Tyranitar.
-Alomomola using Mirror Coat... on Umbreon.
-Venusaur using Sludge Bomb on Aegislash.
-Said Aegislash had a Shell Bell.
-Talonflame should totally set up on Tyrantrum. Stone Edge won't do anything...
-Sand Veil Donphan with no sand setup in sight.
-If your opponent has a mono-grass team, I'm sure EQ is a good move to use.
-Latios with a HP type that was SE on Infernape.
-Some Hydreigon that thought it was Halloween and dressed up as Critdra. It worked, at least.
-Petilil. And it forced a ragequit after putting Talonflame to sleep.
-Work Up Jolteon.
-Farfetch'd.
-Misdreavus.
-Magcargo with both Weak Armor and Shell Smash. Better screw my best stat in favor of my worst. And it got a sweep, or would have if the opponent hadn't forfeited.
-Dragonite spamming Dragon Claw on Togekiss. Wasn't even choiced.
-Hyper Voice Blissey. On the one hand, it's STAB. On the other, she used it on Aegislash. She also had Ice Beam.
-Tangela.
-Mixed Y-zard.

A lot of these things aren't valid, and I'm beginning to think these are kinda fake.
- Tangela is amazing with eviolite/Chlorophyll
- Y-Zard has 100 attack, so if one physical move came up, it's not too bad.
- Farfetch'd can work, I run one on my UU team.
- Magcargo works with shell smash, you even said it got a sweep
Once again though, the rest is pretty bad.
252+ Atk Mega Aggron Avalanche(120BP) vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Gligar: 284-336 (85.2 - 100.9%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
Gligar can survive Avalance from max attack Megaggron, then again I don't know the EVs of your gligar or his Megaggron, though I doubt he was a max attack Megaggron anyway.

I'm impish 252 HP/252 Def with a nice 4 attack. But that's kinda weird, megaggron is offensively improved, so...
the extra 4 HP EVs doesn't affect the percentage at all so whatever, still the rest of the stuff in that battle was definitely dumb.
I've actually seen this before and it's not that bad. Yeah, the recharge sucks, but with the adaptability boost it basically obliterates anything that doesn't resist it (and a few things that do).
But you're right about Gliscor, he should have gone for Ice Beam instead. Maybe he was expecting a switch...?
Alomomola's a good wish passer. Don't knock it.
I recently went up against a Y-zard using Ancient Power, of all things. The worst part was that he got the stat boost after the first time he used it.
Of course. But you need that Rock neutrality if you want to run your BERD TEAM.
Latios could have HP Ground (Works against Heatran, does more than Surf, doesn't require Defence-lowering nature)
Critdreigon actually works. With 100% crits it can spam Draco Meteors and Superpowers all day
I felt bad but the bottom of OU is weird. I was loling around with Paraflinching
Is mega kick Electvire a thing now?
Also non-mega charizard with Outrage

252 SpA Choice Specs Latios Surf vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Heatran: 204-240 (52.8 - 62.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Choice Specs Latios Hidden Power Ground vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Heatran: 272-324 (70.4 - 83.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery
They're both 2HKOes anyways.
252 SpA Choice Specs Latios Surf vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Heatran: 282-332 (87 - 102.4%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Latios Hidden Power Ground vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Heatran: 376-444 (116 - 137%) -- guaranteed OHKO
There are different Heatran sets, y'know. Yup, Surf is preferable after Rocks but still, who knows if you are against bulky attacking Heatran or standard offensive variant
252 SpA Choice Specs Latios Surf vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Heatran: 282-332 (87 - 102.4%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
...how'd that Electivire miss so many times, anyway?

Heh, so I guess we're on the same page :/ And adaptability is always default on Porygon-Z, except Tri attack is usually the better option.
As for alomomola, it's alomomola. It never peaked over RU for me.
Thought it looked fun so I tried it, turn 3 is pretty funny.
