My ladder ranking salutes everyone who's improving it, but... Why are there so many gimmick teams?

BP Sturdinja is a gimmick. Black Sludge Seadra is just fucking retarded.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/customgame-166023871
Well then.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pu-166021328
Why do people put Double-Edge on random stuff? Marowak I can kinda understand because Rock Head, but Zebstrika?

Stealth Rock sash-less Bibarel lead new meta. Defensive Ludicolo was interesting, too.

All three legendary birds, and one hell of a SR weakness.

Focus Sash Foul Play Scrafty.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-166025228
Lots of bouncing, and lots of hax.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-166023452
Remember what I said about Double-Edge earlier in this post? It applies to Body Slam, too. Also, Liepard subbing at 1 HP.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/triplescustomgame-166025075
Another one of "those" battles.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/triplescustomgame-166028290
And the rematch.

what even happened here?
i was testing out a joke team, and this guy comes in with what appears to be a team you would use in battle spot in the original game. also, unnerve mewtwo.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-166145677
Here he is again, against Trogdor the Freezinator.


Edit: i decided to make a team to make battles go on as long as possible and have almost no chance of winning, including a Dusclops with prankster and 2 sleep moves and 2 recovery moves. It actually worked until this guy left. i am so evil.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-166215455
2sleep2heal dusclops new meta.

Edit 2: i am once again the hero PS! deserves.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-166219344
somehow this team is actually working.


Edit 3: this 75-turn battle was the most glorious thing i have ever seen. milotic team vs Batman team. this was amazing.

This guy encourages his opponent to forfeit. Then karma happens. Eventually. (warning: this battle is 113 turns)

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-166637702
Jumpluff, Gligar, Articuno, and Life Orb Fire Blast Gourgeist-Super highlight this one.

This guy who stole my Yellow in-game team turns up in a custom game, and refuses to mega evolve anything. He also used Sleep Powder on a poisoned Pikachu.

Dedenne, Scarf Raikou, and about five battles' worth of hax. And PRAISE LORD HELIX!

Clefairy, nobody wanting to switch, and TerraCott failing miserably on turn 10.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogontriples-166649875
Apparently, there's no Swagger Clause in Triples. Or Evasion Clause. (Or Sleep Clause, for what it's worth, yes I know it's not in Doubles either.)

On my team, there is one specially offensive Protect/Substitute Moody Arceus and nothing else.

On the other team, there is an Aegislash using Iron Defense against said Arceus, then that same Aegislash using Aerial Ace. Later, he sends out a Regigigas that has Slow Start. And he forfeits his losing battle against my one Arceus.

I dont have any replays, but my PU team with Bidoof got to the finals of a room tourney and lost 0-1, and the only reason I lost was Thunderbolt parahax.

Flamethrower Kecleon. Kecleon has 60 base special attack. At least it was Protean. There was also a Dynamic Punch Dusclops.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-168120241
When will people realize 1) Sylveon is better with Pixilate Hyper Voice 2) so is Mega Gardevoir 3) Dedenne is garbage 4) Mawilite is legal in monotype and 5) redundant STABs are useless, especially when one of them is Fairy Wind?

Imposter marowak isn't horrible, as it does get the thick club boost.

[BadPandaPancham]

The best set I have ever seen. It was a PU match.
I was up against a Dusclops that Wil-o'd me and then started Calm Minding. I was like ??? whatever, not even a problem. Then he starts using Shadow Sneak and I am thinking "wtf". To top it all off, he cuts down half of his HP by using Curse .-.

Nor can they handle Safety Goggles, apparently. Also, how did you end up battling someone who was almost 300 ELO points below you?

Edit:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-168263331
And that is what happens when you don't run speed investment on Charizard.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/customgame-168262589
And why you shouldn't use a Metronome team unless you are battling another Metronome team.

 

[MBM99]

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-168275144 His mmy had 4 psycho boosts, no other moves. There were other things, like a mega heracross with bullet punch, mach punch, CC, and megahorn.
