I had an interesting Hidden Type battle. Some things my opponent was using:

  • Trick Scarf Espeon. It caught me by surprise at least.
  • Quagsire with Aqua Tail and Encore.
  • I found out that Scizor can learn Morning Sun.
  • Rapid Spin / Stealth Rock / Pain Split / Block Forretress with a Quick Claw.
  • Zoroark with Shadow Ball, Night Daze, and Knock Off. Gotta kill those Psychic types.

Oh god, where do I begin...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-169792208
Lone Sturdinja beats a team that would be bad in OU, let alone BH.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pu-169790533
Coil and Giga Drain do not mix. This guy needs to learn that.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/smogontriples-169790877
Oh boy... Sliggoo, Electabuzz, Bounce Zoroark, Focus Blast Keldeo, Aura Sphere+Focus Blast Mew, and Aqua Tail+some Hidden Power Hydreigon.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/1v1-169791822
Metronome battle in 1v1, featuring way too much Mist.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/frost-oumonotype-1026946
Why you mega evolve your Gardevoir BEFORE using Hyper Voice. Especially when your opponent has Trevenant out. Also, Shadow Sneak Gardevoir. And quite a bit of hax, even considering Jirachi and Skymin were in this battle.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/balancedhackmons-169791791
Oh, maybe THAT'S why he mega evolved his Ampharos...

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/customgame-169788877

wat

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-169795099
Yep.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogontriples-169794589
Sky Drop new meta. And more hax.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-169796825
That's just unfortunate.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-169792447
>using Emolga >ever And still more hax.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-169797871
Calm Mind Alomomola. Because 40 base special attack and 45 base special defense are metagame defining threats.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pu-169796436
Sub+Roost+Chatter+TORMENT Chatot.

Running away from Sturdinja is not going to win you very many BH games. Trust me.

Here's a set of battles on my Masher alt using a baton-passing Arceus team
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-169857484
- Couldn't handle the powa (also, infestation Excadrill)
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-169859323
- Again, couldn't handle the moody Arceus (Yes, I was waiting to baton pass)
- Grovyle
- Grovyle
- GROVYLE
- Sleep Powder Amoongus
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-169862559
- Running away won't help your ranking
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-169864684
- Didn't even need to switch
- I heard u liek deoxys

This is what happens when you play lower-tiers balanced hackmons :/
...
Xmas121 Out!

Trick Room+Explosion Carbink will not get you very far. Especially considering Carbink has 50 base attack.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-170399563
When Thunder Punch does the exact right amount of damage.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogontriples-170395963
Sturdinja strategy fails due to hax. And there are way too many stupid mons, moves, and items on both teams to count. Like Air Balloon Butterfree.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/inversebattle-170397777
Torrent Greninja, level 99 Blastoise, and one player having issues with understanding what Inverse Battles are.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-170400121
Slaking ever, and one guy failing to understand what Sleep Clause is.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogontriples-170397348
Why you need to be careful with choice items. Especially in triples.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-170406912
You have 4 mons that are 4x weak to Ice. What did you think would happen?

I know it wasn't sent out, but WHY IS HE USING MAGIKARP?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/halloweenparty-170985259
Maranga and Enigma Berries are a bit odd, but at least Kasib Berry found a use. Not that it did any good against a +4 Shadow Ball.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-170984020
Attack-less Sableye nearly 6-0's a team by itself.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pu-170985936
Offensive Ninjask without Speed Boost or Baton Pass, Dedenne, and Hyper Voice Politoed.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/hiddentype-170992603
Someone picked the wrong type to add to Volcarona. Also, this battle features three Pokemon. Total. On both teams.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pandora-haxmons-1218676
This is Haxmons, not Offstat. Ice Beam and Dark Pulse are still not good moves on Weavile. Also, there's a Freeze Clause for a reason. And then there's the requisite Will-o-Miss, of course.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-170994943
Normal Charizard>normal Medicham.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-170992130
Please stop using Outrage without STAB. Please.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/stabmons-170990866
More attempts to offstat, plus a type matchup failure.

That last one is me. The Crawdaunt is a fun set, because it hits surprisingly hard and nobody expects it!

Have you seen the lower portion of the BH ladder?

EDIT: Speaking of lower portion of the BH ladder:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-171075202
KARP!!!!!!
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-171070229
The same guy, with 5 fewer magikarps, except he won.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-170824167
Let's see:Inferno Chansey, Honedge, Jolteon, Milotic with attract, too much other unviable stuff to list.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-170770446
Meowstic, new meta.

I don't really like posting the typical silly stuff, but this one was a must:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-171303560
So this came from a tour where i felt like messing around with mono pikachu.

Just feel like mentioning the chansey set:

Chansey @ Unknown
Ability: Unknown
EVs: Unknown
Unknown nature
- Agility
- Seriously, that's it.
- ^
- Did I mention agility was its only move?

I mean, at least you COULD argue that infestation/recover/blue flare/charge beam quick claw deoxys-s has a niche o.o
