Random Replays episode 3541: Stealing other's Ideas from forever ago
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoubles-88203035
Dug through some old replays I'd saved and stumbled across this gem of a doubles battle.
It's terrible. I recommend Brain Bleach.
Someone else list the stuff for this, because I sure can't.

GAAAH. MY EYES.
Proof that people on the Pandora Server are just that stupid.
There are even more replays of about the same quality(about 20) featuring this "Algerion" guy and his friends. Just search "Hackmons" in replays.

More proof that Pandora players are dumb.
These are just the highlights, the whole thing is bad.
>Left, not understanding this is Hackmons, and bringing a bad OU team.
>Right's mewtwo, only knowing Psychic moves, and trying to use Dream Eater twice on something that was awake.
>Attempts at using Toxic on Lucario.
>Aura Sphere/Detect/Me First/Drain Punch Lucario, beating the Altaria attempting to toxic it.
>Said Lucario sweeping most of the opposing team.
>The Classic Hackmons Magikarp. With Hydro Pump, and destiny bond.

- Physical Refrigerate Aurorus with AVALANCHE
- Discharge Galvantula because paralysing your teammates is very convenient
- Vileplume.
- Vileplume with Poison Powder and Miracle Seed
- Non-Mega Pinsir with Hyper Beam and Quick Claw.. this would even suck with Aerilate
- Shell Bell Empoleon
Right:
- Switcheroo Klefki and Switcheroo Klutz (?) Non-Mega Lopunny. What a prankster!
- Klefki trying to paralyse Galvantula
- Dragonite killing his Teammate, Klefki, with Earthquake
- Lopunny has Fake Out which he didn't use for whatever reason on Turn 1 (also, doing that on Galvantula would've been better since Aurorus moves last anyways..)
- Sticky Barb Noivern and guess what, Switcheroo
This should be all next to the Type Chart issues :P
(R) Jolteon paralyzing Ferrothorn, which is already naturally slow. It then used Thunderbolt (which tickles Ferro) before fleeing with Volt Switch.
(R) Ferrothorn blocked your Flamethrower with Protect? Better try it again, hoping the left trainer will leave Ferro roasted. It triggered Flash Fire from Chandelure instead.
(L) Chandelure using Flamethrower on Dragonite. Starmie was lucky to not come into Shadow Ball.
(L) Water Absorb Quagsire, throwing away its only notable niche (Unaware). At least it forced Starmie out.
(R) Giga Drain Torterra is borderline unviable, because of its low SpA and access to Leech Seed.
(L) Chandelure using Shadow Ball on Mega Pidgeot, which was apparently a misclick.
(R) Hurricane wasn't enough for Mega Pidgeot. It also had Air Slash and (later) Brave Bird.
(L) Mega Ampharos with Thunder, but without rain support.
(L) Amnesia Lickilicky, betting on a special Lucario. Alas, it was physical.
(L&R) Jolteon attempting to paralyze Mega Ampharos (slow and Electric-type). For some reason, Amphy had Facade while Jolteon had Return, which did nothing thanks to Cotton Guard.
(R) Mega Pidgeot replaced Jolteon vs Ampharos instead of Torterra. It only got away thanks to Hurricane's confusion.

Non-Mega Lopunny is actually kind of justified in this context because the replay predates ORAS by a good nine months or so
At least, it would be justified if it was something good that didn't get a Mega until ORAS like Prankster Sableye or one of the Latis (because the Megas weren't officially available until ORAS).

I know low ladder is full of stupidity, but right's team is honestly a new low, even for this thread. Symptoms of watching this replay include extreme anger, nausea, disgust, increased urge to bang your head against the nearest wall, and repeatedly shouting "WHAT THE FUCK?" Also, right actually won a few games, presumably because his opponents were laughing so hard they timered out.

It could have been Speed Boost Electrode, for instance.
Honestly, I expected that Electrode to be Speed Boost after your brief description of the replay here. But nope, it's just bad standard sets all the way down. Not really worth commenting on imo.
Left:
— Diancite Weavile (okay, sure I guess) using Shadow Claw (nope). I mean, it hit Altarianite Arcanine for neutral damage I guess, but wouldn't Poison Jab be a better move to pack for those Fairy-types that you can't deal with using Icicle Crash? The first mistake was staying in on an Arcanine in the first place, of course. At worst you'd hit a Mewtwonite X Arcanine for neutral damage using Poison Jab (and it resists both your STABs anyway) for more damage than Shadow Claw, and at best you'd catch an Altarianite one for SE damage.
— Sending Aggronite Ferrothorn out against Altarianite Arcanine. You're still Grass/Steel you know.
— Red Orb Victini is a top-tier threat in Mix and Mega. Red Orb Victini with Flame Burst, however, is not.
— Hitting a Water-type with Flame Burst. No, that doesn't work even in Desolate Land.
Right:
— Absolite Manaphy staying in on a Red Orb user.
Fun fact: I was left in this replay. Yeah, I was extremely shit at competitive in general then, especially OMs. Like, I'm surprised some of my replays weren't on previous pages bad (like for example I had a Sand Stream Gigalith in BH).
Also, bonus BH stupidity dump. Feel free to tear into any of these.
Dear God, most of these are even worse than I thought they were before I watched them. Also, I'm going to have to retire I HATI THE SECOND next week because it's on my school laptop, and we're returning them on Monday.
