Silly Things You've Seen In Other Metagames

It's a gen 1 showdown with both teams bringing stupid things.

(R) Leaves a Victreebel out against an Alakazam
(L) Raichu has Thunder.
(R) Non-Mega Pidgeot.
(R) Pidgeot has Double-Edge.
(L) Calcs show that the Dragonite wasn't Multiscale.
(L) Mega Kick Raichu
(R) Jolteon has Thunder and Thunderbolt.
(L) Fearow.
(L) Not Drought Ninetales.
(R) NON-MEGA CHARIZARD.
(R) Charizard uses Wing Attack.
(R) Charizard uses Blast Burn.
(R) Lapras spams Sheer Cold. It might have worked once, but it really can't hit the Blastoise.
(R) Left is smart enough to realize that the Jolteon is probably Volt Absorb. Right is not, and spams Thunder and Thunderbolt despite the fact that Raichu might be Lightning Rod.
(L) Raichu has Static.

Hitmontop fails to break Suicune's sub until the third Technician-boosted attack. Either that, or it wasn't Technician.

Using Reflect Type against Mega Lopunny does not strike me as the greatest of ideas.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-407706906
Kabutops shuts down that Sigilyph set (if you don't know what I mean, check the link in my sig, and it's just as bad in Monotype as it is in RU). Also, despite the fact that left has a Water mono, none of his mons have Scald.

Speaking of the article in my sig, Ambipom makes an appearance with Switcheroo. It's not the worst part of this mercifully short battle, though.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-407706838
Thunder Wave+Gyro Ball Ferrothorn, and apparently Recover+EQ EKiller is a thing. Good luck with Giratina-O or something like that.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-407716009
Piplup. Now I've just about seen everything. And more.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-407707007
Perhaps the most egregious part of this one is that left does not realize there is no evasion clause in AG. This one needs a list.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-407707258
Cobalion is Athos, not Aramis (that would be Virizion). Sash+NP Lucario is a new one.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-407713874
Assist Spinda spam (no V-Create to be found, though) vs. Whitney. It's just as annoying as you think it is.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-407711025
Meowstic-F, right's entire team, quite a bit of hax, and more.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-407712840
I don't understand some people's thought process when team building in AG. This battle is a case in point. Another list is needed.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-407715128
Lucky Rotom-W vs. Dragon Breath Salamence, itemless Shedinja, and nothing else.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-407713740
If all of your mons are nicknames "Fuck AG", then why are you playing AG?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-407712394
Oh no... That Umbreon is probably the worst of the bunch. One more list here.

(L,R) None of these mons should be used in AG. S/O to Fear Rattata, which among memes such as Sash-less Shell Smash and Dark/Poison types with Levitate, stopped being funny or noteworthy years ago. It is apparently "an accident", but you'd still have to put that in your teambuilder somewhere... you can't escape the shame.
(R) I can't make heads or tails of this team composition. Glaring weaknesses, stacking things that don't really stack... etc. At least (L) seems to have an idea of what they want their team to do.
(R) Tailwind on Sub-Toxic Gliscor. If we're rolling with these mon choices then I guess Tailwind Gliscor isn't so bad, but it's more of a team support thing than a supplement to a subtoxic set.
(R) Poison Jab on Gliscor. That'll let it get around those Toxic immunities! If the opposing Whimsicott wasn't at +3 Def and behind Reflect, though, it would be useful here.
(L) Leech Seed used against a Subbed-up opponent. Live and learn, I guess.
(L) Whimsicott is now shown to be Cotton Guard + Leech Seed + Giga Drain. I guess tonight's theme is mons that are helpless against a specific type.
(L) Giga Drain breaks Gliscor's sub. Either it's an SpA-invested Whimsicott or it's not specially bulky Gliscor.
(L) Finally switches to Scizor, which is utterly immune to anything Gliscor can do.
(L) Brick Break on Scizor. It's exactly as pathetic against the Rotom-Fan switch-in as it would have been against Gliscor. Its Fury Cutter is... suboptimal obviously, but hey if you're not smart enough to switch strategically anyways, might as well use something that gets better when you spam it.
(L) Probably gets frustrated at (R)'s evasion boosting, switches in a Kabutops that turns out to be Rock Polish. If only Kabutops had a way to double its speed, that also made its attacks stronger...
(R) Despite fielding an Electric-type, opts to exert no pressure at all against the opposing Kabutops. It gets KOed by a lucky Rock Slide after a few turns.
(R) Serperior uses Giga Drain against Mega Scizor, when its Subseed combination could stall it out. It takes 76% damage for its troubles, and Mega Scizor ultimately survives with a little HP left.
(R) Thunder Thundurus-Therian. For its trouble, it gets a miss and takes 38% from Fury Cutter.
(L) Mega Scizor finally fucking reveals Bullet Punch, which could have probably taken Serperior out a few turns earlier.
(R) Uses Double Team against a 19%, Toxicked Whimsicott. Whimsicott gets "lucky" with Leech Seed (and then a Moonblast), and stalls Thundy out.
(L) Froslass sets up Spikes against a rapidly Minimizing Smeargle. The first layer makes sense, to break Rattata's Sash. The second doesn't, since it's down to Smeargle, Rattata, and Gliscor anyways. Smeargle gets its chance to pass max evasion, max Defense, 3.5x Speed, and 2x Special Defense to Gliscor, which effortlessly subtoxics its way to victory.
(R) Despite being vastly faster than the entire opposing team, makes sure to set up Tailwinds every so often.
(R) Cranks up the edge with an unprompted [★The_Chalupa: HEIL HYDRA]
(L) That Rock Polish Kabutops from earlier? It's actually Weak Armor. IF ONLY KABUTOPS COULD BOOST ITS SPEED AND DAMAGE OUTPUT AT THE SAME TIME.
(L) [★EmpyVi: I dont think your team is legal because of the evasion clause. Also, your a dick] Yeah, your opponent is definitely an elite hacker that flexed their mad hacking skills to bring a shitty evasion team onto the ladder. Really sleuthed 'em out.
(R) [★The_Chalupa: Ratata is actually my best pokemon] The Rattata you "accidentally" added to your team, uh-huh, gotcha.
(L) [★EmpyVi: Fair enough, but I want a rematch without cheap tactics.] I, too, ladder Anything Goes and then tell people their tactics are cheap. This is because I think things through and adjust my behavior to get the results I want.

Is it me, or do you always find the most stupid replays ever?

(R) Mewtwo uses Psystrike on Weavile.
(L) Weavile has Avalanche.
(R) Counter Mewtwo.
(R) Sending a Rayquaza out against a Weavile that you know has Ice Shard.
(R) Arceus-Fire
(R) Arceus uses Twister, when it could have used Judgement.
(R) Arceus has Blizzard and uses it on the Excadrill. USE FUCKING JUDGEMENT.
(L) Excadrill has Drill Run and Earthquake.
(R) Giratina has Shadow Force.
(L) Umbreon has Shadow Ball. #GhostIsNotDark.
(R) Giratina uses Aura Sphere. I suppose it can be a coverage move, but from what I've seen in all the time I've played BH, it's supposed to sit there and wall stuff. If right wanted an attacking Giratina he should have stuck it in Origin Forme.
(R) Giratina uses Hyper Beam. Sigh.
(R) Ice Burn Kyurem-White.
(L) Umbreon uses Psychic. #GhostIsNotPsychicEither.
(L) Audino.
(R) Kyurem-White lowers its Special Attack until it's non-existent and doesn't think to switch out. In fact, the only time right switches out his mons is when they die. It as if he's NEVER HEARD OF SWITCHING.
(L and R) Both of them somehow have a ranking that is not 1000.
 
Replays Galore!
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-408005628 Mono Snake Team, and Shuckle. Why use Seviper when you could use any other snake.

I don't understand some people's thought process when team building in AG. This battle is a case in point. Another list is needed.
  • Itemless, full legendary on right, normal Rotom on left.
  • (R) Psychic Mewtwo, when Psystrike exists... Oh never mind, it has both.
  • (L) Landorus-T spamming Knock Off on this itemless team when EQ/Stone Edge (on Rayquaza) deal more damage.
  • (L&R) Roar of Time Dialga, KOing Dragon Claw Rayquaza. (No Mega? Not even a switch?)
  • (R) Shadow Claw + Shadow Force Arceus Normal. Because one Ghost coverage move isn't enough?
  • (L) Gallade is brought out to take Shadow Force (and Drapion?) and counters with... Fire Punch. Where is your Fighting STAB? And your Mega Evolution?
  • (L) Brick Break Volcanion. Deals only 30% to Arceus with this super-effective move and spams it while the god heals itself with Recover. Maybe a burn from Scald/Steam Eruption would scare it away?
  • (R) Last move on that Arceus is Shadow Ball. It must have forgotten its Spooky Plate at home.
  • That forfeit happened too soon. I'd love to see the rest of their teams.

so first things first, Hawlucha in AG. with flying press, which i doubt even good hawlucha use.
Second, with three pokemon left, he chooses to switch out finally. i was thinking "Swampert, right?"...
aaand then he takes out his monstrous lugia, which did an earth-shattering six percent damage to my klefki. needless to say, i was quaking in my boots.
And THEN, instead of switching, this person keeps doing less and less damage while i set up, only realising "Hey, i have a ground type on my team." when Klefki was powerful enough to destroy Swampert in one hit. and as the icing on the shit-cake, he takes out sceptile...and charges for solarbeam.

at least he didn't use physical sceptile?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-408876814

Ambipom. with body slam and double hit.
and assault vest charizard.

I thought I'd seen every stupid thing AG has to offer. How wrong I was.
(R) Mono Smeargle.
(L) Shuckle's name XD.
(R) Lock-On Sheer Cold Smeargle.
(L) Convenient Study is convenient.
(R) Right continues to spam Sheer Cold, despite Sturdy being a thing.
(L) Murkrow.
(R) All of the Smeargles have the same set.
(R) Smeargle's only attacking move is Sheer Cold.
(L) Another Murkrow.
(R) Smeargle can't break a Subsitute because its only move is Sheer Cold.
(L) Attract Mega Blaziken.
(L) A female Mega Blaziken uses Attract on a female Smeargle.
(L) Magikarp.

Gotta hand it to left, they pulled off the world's only Magikarp sweep.

(R) Right's team was so crap they couldn't stop a Magikarp sweep. If that happened to me I would never play AG again.

Someone make a list for this one. That Jolteon is just the beginning.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-411048151
You know a battle is going to be good if BOTH sides' opening moves do nothing.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-411056667
A quick match that shouldn't have been so. Maybe it was the quote that completed it...
this is the worst best stuff I've seen on here in awhile lol
This took me a minute to understand in the first battle
The opposing Jolteon's Quick Claw let it move first!

Deoxys used Spore!
The opposing Jolteon fell asleep!

The opposing Jolteon is fast asleep.
Also, why would you use only in-game moves on wobbuffet, or stay in on an obvious toxic if you're that shedinja?

other than that, contrary + v-create blaziken putting in some good work, tanking hits that it shouldn't, and don't you idiots know the type chart?

the last one was... simple+geo Hydreigon? never seen that one before.
