It's not very effective... Remoraid lost 0% of its health!
Remoraid had its energy drained!
But it failed (eleven times!)
Seriously about died laughing at this! this has to be one of the most entertaining metas of all time to me, tbh.

A team of only Greninja. Said Greninja had Scald (Why not just Hydro Cannon?)

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-254129980
Stall Snorlax.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-254133427
Life Orb on anything, especially if the Pokémon you gave LO to has Outrage.

Monferno and Dedenne. Also the chat, which gives some insight on the thought process of a low-ladderer.

Well, Fire Blast Dragonite is good for getting rid of defensive steels like Skarmory. Just to put it into perspective, Fire Punch would 3HKO 0.3% of the time but Flamethrower would 2HKO 14.1% of the time (Fire Blast would guarantee a 2HKO though). So it has a used. And I USED to see Stall Swampert used successfully. It has bulk and a nice single weakness. I'm just glad the person had Guts Ursaring. He used it damn fine and got that nice Scald burn too. The right side though is 100% silly though.

Now that I think about it, there is only one use for LO, and that is on a set-up Mon. However, it makes no sense on Greninja.

Fresh replays! Fresh replays! Come get them while they're hot!

Swoobat, Air Slash just did 28% and you're facing a Dark team. Why are you using Shadow Ball? Scrafty then tries to DD on Swoobat, but can't catch it at +1 and dies. (And today I learned Scrafty gets Dragon Dance.) We also have AV Malamar (is that a thing?).

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-254160258
Mono-early-game-Bug squad on the left. Butterfree forgets about Magic Bounce but escapes thanks to Xatu T-Waving it, and I'm not sure what Shadow Ball is hitting either. Meanwhile, Xatu with Foul Play and Dazzling Gleam (which I'll let slide, because Fairy coverage is best coverage).

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-254165150
When you see Hyper Beam or its ilk, you know it's gonna be good...if it wasn't so short. Hydro Cannon/U-Turn Greninja, an Aegislash duel decided when the one on the right Shields at the wrong time and then takes a +6 Shadow Sneak for its troubles, and a timer stall. If you can't win or you have to go AFK, just forfeit and save us all the trouble.

About the last replay...
If I understood right, he was using Monferno > Infernape because it was unexpected... so ppl wouldn't hit it super-effectively. WTF?

If I got it right, I'm guessing he expects people to think he won't use Monferno because nobody would use such a Shitmon (Except, obviously, someone who packs said Shitmon in their Team).

Fresh Anything Stupid Goes replays:

I feel sleepy, just like right's team. It shows few sets, but they're promising: Dragon Claw Reshiram, Earth Power Zekrom...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-254200163
This is probably the most stupid replay I've ever posted, and for good reason.

Monotype Bug Team. That Pinsir didn't have Hyper Cutter, which is really the only useful Ability Pinsir has on 1v1, as no viable Levitate Pokémon on 1v1 is hit harder by Earthquake than by Giga Impact (Pls tell me it had Giga Impact) and lol Moxie. (Though I'm not really sure it's that useful, as he can't beat 2 of the 3 most common Intimidators.)

Primal Groudon vs. the world, featuring Body Slam Tyranitar and physical Gengar.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-254586934

An itemless Blissey with Giga Impact. He forfeited after attempting to paralyze my Groudon, but I'm absolutely certain that the rest of the team was just as bad.

Pyroar, Sucker Punch fails, and questionable at least decisions when sending Pokémon out (aka sacking half of your team until you realize Pyroar is there).

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-254645749
We all know this gimmick. In here it screws a whole team.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-254644856

Mono-Rotom.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-254644796
"Baton Pass to Bidoof" battles.
L:
- Leftovers Smeargle.
- Dusknoir using Shadow Sneak on Bidoof. Twice.
- Said Dusknoir using Destinity Bond being the last mon of its team.
- Yes, I also thought that Breloom was about to kill Bidoof with Mach Punch.
- And of course, Bidoof.

R:
- Agility Ninjask (#GottaGoFast).
- Bidoof.
The Bidoof duel (and the whole match) is decided by a VERY lucky Return.

Even Lord Helix can be haxed to death. Also a random use of Protect.

Hippopotas / Dugtrio / Durant / Magnemite / Nosepass / Aron: the meta.

Let's play a game. It's called "Let's find what went wrong in this AG battle because InvisibleWater's brain hurts!"

L:
-Outrage Mega Kangaskhan.
-Dual Fighting coverage (Brick Break/Drain Punch).
-Never using STAB on anything (Using Body Slam would have done more).
-Sending Gogoat out against Primal Groudon.
-Slaking on anything not Balanced Hackmons or 1v1.
-WHY DON'T YOU JUST USE YOUR STAB?
-Water-type Techno Blast followed by Flash Cannon (Both against Groudon).
-Will-O-Wisping Greninja. Oh sorry, Will-O-Wisping Fire-type Greninja.
-Embargo on anything.

R:
-Using Extreme Speed on Mega Kangaskhan when Deoxys-A already outspeeds her.
-Not much, really.

Maybe right side expected a Sucker Punch so went Extreme Speed. Seeing how bad was the team, probably it wasn't carrying it, but anyway.

Even Extreme Speed isn't that bad because Kangaskhan gets Sucker Punch and being able to outspeed that is definitely worth it (since then Sucker Punch will fail)

Also, Revenge Choice Band Slaking is a thing that I've seen a lot. It becomes dead weight afterwards...

It wasn't. It had Body Slam, Brick Break, Drain Punch and Outrage.

As our last day of the most hilarious meta for replays, here is a tribute to what I can find from like 10 replays:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-254771659
- Yeah, left only has regular Megas. Right has no Megas
- Drill Peck Skarmory? ... ... ... Drill Peck Skarmory Sweep?
- Mixed Mega Swampert?
- The guy on the left switching out even though his Pokemon couldn't survive another trip through the hazards

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-mixandmega-79447
- No clue what went through this guy's head. Missclick on the team?

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-254769411
- Typical low tier nonsense. Nothing particular here.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-254769261
- Physical Aurorus? Even after being Glalite? Yeah, that's bad
- Clutch miss there from Heatmor allowing for a total Avalugg sweep
- Houndoomite Masquerain using Scald...that's a bad combination of moves and abilities (and Pokemon too)
- Trying to Toxic Aggronite Avalugg.
