It was doing ok until it tried to repeatedly get past wonder guard with... drain punch. That was pretty funny though! wonder how it managed to get your team though...

Apparently, You can challenge the bot to any meta and it uses the same team. If the team it uses not allowed to play in that meta then it copies the team you were going to use in the meta you challenge it in :p. Challenge it again to that same meta and you'll see.

Random Shit: We 2015 Now Edition

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-198985980
6 Rayquazas and only one can be bothered to click Extreme Speed.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pixieworld-customgame-2476
Sky Drop Rayquaza using it on Shadow Ball Torterra. Then, a Groudon-P that thought it was Vespiquen, also with Shadow Ball. And the obvious issue, of course, being the two-mon team.

Someone probably doesn't get the "hack" part of Balanced Hackmons.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-198983027
Brick Break Clefable? Someone tell me how that's any good.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/frost-balancedhackmons-1287603
Among the meta defining sets: Priority-spamming Speed Boost Mega Swampert and Water Shuriken everywhere, some without Skill Link.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-198988761
Protip: Level 100 FEAR doesn't work very well. Especially not with Extreme Speed Arcanine running around.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-198988082
Some interesting sets here, as well as switching in Swampert on Virizion.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-198985454
Not sure what's worse: keeping in your Mega Swampert while it's raining but under Trick Room, or running Roar on it. Also featuring people failing to recognize that Rotom-W 4x resists Bullet Punch, and best of all, USING TOXIC AGAINST A STEEL MONO (and not just to avoid Sucker Punch).

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-198984103
Oh god...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-198984874
Not as bad as the last one, but still ugh.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-198985801
Among other issues, isn't that GeoXern forgetting something?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-198986230
This relay got disqualified.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-199227801
Ominous Wind + X-Scissor Darkrai and Dragon Rush Mega Garchomp (there are too many evasion boosters in AG, don't bother yourself with imperfect accuracy moves). And their user is in the high 1300s.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-199232567
Pikachu at all, itemless (or Metagrossite) Double Team + Iron Defense Metagross with Psychic (the move) as its only STAB, Sharpedo without Speed Boost, Flygon at all and Detect + Dragon Claw Mega Sceptile.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-199240209
Sitrus Berry Politoed (why not Leftovers?), non-Drought Ninetales and Pyroar.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-199242227
Thunderbolt + Earthquake Kyogre, Jynx (with Focus Sash and Wish), SR Krookodile without Intimidate, Extreme Speed Fairyceus, Dark Pulse + Confuse Ray Gengar and a hilarious end.

Dragon Rush is actually a very good move against a target using Minimize (which most people do because Double Team is too slow at boosting). People don't seem to know this, but Dragon Rush does double damage and has perfect accuracy against a target that has used the move Minimize.

So I decided to ladder on BH for the first time since ORAS came out to see what kind of stupid stuff I could find. Needless to say, I was not disappointed.

-Air Balloon Pikachu Pop Star with Icicle Crash and Hidden Power
-Pidgeot-Mega mega evolving and spamming Brave Bird
-Jigglypuff
-Me accusing a Blaziken of being itemless while forgetting that I knocked off a Fist Plate
-Said Blaziken running Spore+Wake-up Slap, which is so easy to work around it's not even funny
-Switching in a weakened Gengar on an obvious Shadow Sneak
-Keeping (non-scarfed) Imposter Blissey in on my Sturdinja when it could do nothing back
-Some poor bastard not knowing what Safety Goggles are
-Aerodactyl spamming Flare Blitz without Magic Guard (and only doing 25-30%)

(I really shouldn't share my team before the tour.)

To be fair, the idea isn't terrible, even by BH standards, but it needs better execution.

How not to Baton Pass.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-199458342
When Dedenne is the second-most successful mon in this battle, you know there are problems.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-199460319
Why do people use incomplete teams?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-199458310
Signal Beam Forretress, random Focus Sashes, Metronome Snorlax, and a team of 6 Rayquazas somehow managing to lose to them.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-199458865
Eevee 1, Beedrill 0.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-199457893
Three things that can mega evolve, two of which are mediocre without them, and what does he mega evolve? Nothing. Among them, a Power Herb Sky Attack+Hone Claws Aerodactyl and Dazzling Gleam Life Orb Diancie.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/frost-monotype-1292661
Three trappers on one team? Only on Psychic monos. By the way, Machamp gets Knock Off so you can deal with that.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-199461835
Fire Blast Chansey, anyone?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-199464726
Lone Shuckle with Power Trick.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/challengecup1vs1-199464832
Bad time for Attract to not work, methinks.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-199462500
No comment.

Dragon spam: PU edition, starring, among other things, Leftovers Dragonair.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/challengecup1vs1-199463467
Who needs Serene Grace?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/tiershift-199465156
I don't know what's worse: having a team of all Pikaclones, or the fact that a Honchkrow, of all things, took out three of them.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pu-199461857
Gourgeist-Large, Delcatty, using Water Spout in the rain, etc.

Edit: This would appear to be my 800th post. Woot.

Well actually, if you don't add any EVs the sim automatically gives you 85 in all stats.

People sometimes test incomplete teams on an alt to find out what the missing pieces are. They come up with a core, build it, test it, and start adding other 'mons to cover up their weaknesses through repeated tests.

TheMagikarpOne

TheMagikarpOne

Heres one of my personal favorite battles

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pu-192944382

The other guy has unscarfed Ditto , an aurorus that failed to ruin my victreebell sweep, sticky web ariados that comes out only at the end of the match and... you will see the funniest part in this battle on turn 7.

Note: The mistake i made by going for Tail Glow at X4 SpA was because i was confused about the whole +6 vs X4 thing :/
