Nevermeltice Blizzard Nidoqueen in 1v1. Sadly it missed everytime, so I lost. It's funny cuz it's actually kinda viable.
http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-challengecup1vs1-168596065
This time I had gale wing t-flame with brave bird.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/challengecup1vs1-168596772
Well, I won. Thanks to hyper impact/ giga beam snorlax.

Hey it's Nevermeltice not Nevermissice, what exactly did you expect? :P
Also I've been trolling the lower 1v1 ladder with an alt a bit, and let's just say some of those players would even lose to a Slack Off/SR/Roar/Whirlwind Hippowdon. (one of those players used an SR/SW/Spikes/TS Smeargle so I'm pretty sure he's trolling)
I sadly actually managed to win with a BH team made from a random number generator. I think the replay is somewhere in this thread.
Hyper Impact and Giga Beam: So rare, people screw up their names.

The best answer for Skill Link Mega Absol? Crunch Charizard-X, of course.

Minun new meta.

Stall in BH got you down? Try this team of 6 Explosion Regigigas.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/frost-oumonotype-1018679
A Sealeo set worthy of Showderp. (And then he claims it's a rain team, despite being an ice mono where the only thing that could benefit from rain is Beartic.)
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-168630188
...That Rotom-H used Rain Dance. ON A FIRE MONO.
AND THEN HIS OPPONENT FORFEITS.

"Because I felt like it." The go-to excuse for using Victini in BH. Well, at least it was Contrary.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/frost-oumonotype-1018704
The worst part of this is I knew Explosion would be forthcoming after the Normal Gem was knocked off. And then at the end, we learn what happens when you mention crits in a scenario like that.

The bottom of the ladder is pathetic in battling ability. In BH, I currently have an 1192 Elo by using a team consisting of one Moody Arceus (I have a few replays earlier in the thread) and nothing else. It insta-loses to Sturdinja, Ghost-Curse, and Perish Song, performs poorly against Heart Swap, and also loses if you get Poison (either) or Burn on it (either via infiltrator or taking down my Substitute).
The lower portion of the BH ladder is by far the most fun though. Half the people don't even know what it is.
Speaking of the lowest portion of the BH ladder... http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-168794213
Also, I encountered a team of 4 Dragons, a MBlaze and a Imposter Chansey. Xern weakness much?And Fridge Spam
And I was dumb and forgot to switch into Xern as soon as Chansey got rekt. Nothing else noteworthy about it tho
Okay so from team preview we get... Cacturne and Quagsire. Wat.
Dragon Dance Cacturne. Shift Gear?
Also lol Spiky Shield. It's cute because I switched into Xern
Levitate Hea- actually that isn't so bad.
Sucks that I didn't get to see the rest :(

needless to say the power was too much to handle.

"I have an idea: Let's put an Aguav Berry on everything. Absolutely everything. Also, what's a ghost type?"
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/hiddentype-169027370
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/hiddentype-169027370
And what are competitively viable moves?
The guy had no idea what he was doing. I honestly felt kind of bad, I'm pretty sure I was up against a 7 year old.
"It seems that the Normal and Fighting moves on my Pokemon aren't hitting the enemy. Better switch and try again!"
Rock Smash Bulldoze Terrakion. New meta
Of course you have to get the stat drops in order to make Terrakion's two best stats look even better.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/hiddentype-169220117
Greninja thinks it's Mega Blastoise, and looking at turn 8, why else would Dragonite run Iron Head in this meta?
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-169219730
6 Water types and no Scald. Also, Aqua Ring Cute Charm Milotic.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pu-169223011
Fling+Thief Garbodor, Dazzling Gleam Floette, and Fire (not even Ice) Fang Luxray.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/halloweenparty-169222973
Flame Charge Gourgeist-XL, Calm Mind Sableye, and Me First Mismagius.
Thank goodness no one found the hidden gems in the BH replays before me
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-169207396
That was nice guys. I'm proud of you.

And if mono wailords wasn't bad enough, here we have mono totodile. One With truant. Using all variants of splash, with a previous 1300+ ladder rank.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-169206591
And just when you thought it couldn't get worse.

Bounce Greninja vs. a solo heatran.

Shell Smash Blissey vs. Counter Wobbuffett.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-169064156
Words can't even describe this one.

Was this person just lazy, trolling, or did they really think one shed could take on the hidden type ladder?

I'm going to contribute one of my absolutely wtf n00bish unusual battles. First: We have the amazing physical Mega Charizard Y, Fire Gem everything, and the AMAZING leaf tornado/aerial ace/flare blitz/flamethrower charizard. That's right. It's not a mega charizard. Just a regular one. lol air balloon dragonite (immunities anyone?)

"im a girl where noe tell me in 18"
"im 18 i got to high school"
I'm objecting to these, because most of the 18 year old girls I knew in high school weren't this stupid.
There's a 95% chance it was some 12 year old kid trying to be cool.
Probably not even twelve. I was way smarter than that back when I was that old.
I know this isn't technically 'nooby' or 'trolly' but it's still a funny one. (I completely failed at the start, and yes it was an Illusion Mega-Scizor)
A. Swept by a Shedinja
B. All ghost/dark types (maybe a Halloween team? If so, why bring it into balanced hackmons?)
C. Night Slash Shedinja? waaaaaaaaat?
D. No toxic/will-o-wisp on anyone, relied on giratina-a using steam eruption or mega-houndoom using lava plume to kill sturdinja.
