Silly Things You've Seen In Other Metagames

umm guys can we please not post hackmons challenge cup? As fun as they are, they arent neccisarily "silly" because they arent the players decision on the movesets and stuff

Too many things here:
  • Bulk Up Hawlucha
  • (Sunny Day) Tropius
  • Dragon Tail Mega Charizard Y
  • Hydro Pump Gyarados
  • Thunderbolt Dragonite


http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204460600
FEAR team vs. the world, including a Fly + Mega Kick Mega Charizard X.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204462551
At least this guy had a plan B, in case his Double Team non-Mega Absol would fail: Quick Claw Water Pulse Dunsparce. The other team wasn't much better.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204463276
Special Bisharp and Blizzard Exploud, which also used Focus Blast when there weren't any enemy Fighting weakness.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-204465358
Here again, too many silly movesets:
  • Avalanche Mega Gyarados
  • Sunny Day Trevenant (he was lucky that his opponent was Mono-Water)
  • Rocky Helmet Jellicent
  • Brick Break Dusclops
  • Wailord
  • Charge Beam Rotom-W
  • Barbaracle

Darumaka has 15 base Special Attack. Darmanitan has 30. Please don't run Fire Blast on them.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogontriples-204728821
Quick Claw Milotic and what I'm assuming to be Bright Powder Whimsicott.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204727136
Extreme Speed Deo-S is one thing. Using it against Klefki, however, has little merit, especially since it only did about 7%. A couple of other things in this battle as well.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-204729480
If you're going to use Beat Up Weavile on an ice mono, at least have mons with good, or at least decent, attack stats on your team. Like Kyurem-B and Avalugg. Not like Regice or Glaceon. The Regice even had Earthquake.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204730945
Well... uh... at least that Beedrill wasn't mega.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/battleofhoenn-204732623
Ice Punch Gardevoir and Sitrus Berry Salamence.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/fu-204730825
Dewgong used Belch! But it failed!

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/frost-monotype-1347331
Gourgeist-Large and Flame Orb Gengar (which at least had Trick).

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204731883
A Mega Rayquaza is Outraging. You have Xerneas. What do you send in? Virizion, of course.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-204737131
Head Smash Mega Aggron. That is all.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204734733
Giga Impact Latios. And it only gets worse from there.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204739296
What, you haven't heard?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204737834
What is this I don't even.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204735880
Snorlax guy doesn't seem to realize you can't have something asleep and poisoned at the same time.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204737264
Uhh... yeah...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-204736126
More of those people. Not the ridiculous crap like the battle above this one, but poor move choices, type chart ignorance, etc.

Now this one is a head scratcher, for many reasons.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-205583604
What do you do if you miss 3 Hydro Pumps in a row? Crit on the 4th one, of course.

Delibird can't even Fake Out right. And Delibird in general, I guess.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-205583520
CroBink?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-205585607
Giga Impact Mega Glalie vs. Cotton Guard+Cotton Spore+Rest Mega Ampharos.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-205583095
More random mixed sets, plus an attempt to Toxic a Metagross.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-205582997
5 FEAR Rattatas... and a Guard Swap Umbreon with Inner Focus.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-205576912
Ugh.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-205582710
This one is actually pretty funny.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-205588374
Brave Bird normal Pidgeot and Air Balloon Darkrai.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-205588625
You can tell Eeveelution teams are bad when they can't even beat a team with 4 NFE's on it. And not good NFE's, either.

Crobink is a thing in PU and the aurorus was nicknamed after a PU player (white hair killer) so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Probably not the best idea in monotype, but maybe he had a theme going there?

Eh, it's not that Eeveelution teams are inherently bad (they are), it's that that is a particularly crappy Eeveelution team. No idea what that Hidden Power was but since it's not SE on Psychic, why not just click Blizzard again? Also Aqua Tail Glaceon, new meta. Just because it learns a move doesn't mean it's a good idea. Same with Giga Drain + Solar Beam Leafeon. And Flamethrower Flareon. And Yawn Vaporeon but maybe that's legit. And Espeon using Dazzling Gleam on Ludicolo instead of Psychic STAB. And Confuse Ray + Iron Tail Umbreon.

Edit: First replay in your post has a nice and non-Sheer Force Nidoking. lol

Edit2: And there's nothing stupid about Giga Impact Mega Glalie in 1v1. The stupid thing was not using it first turn, I think. And that it's doing so little damage. Is that normal or does that Mega Glalie have stupidly-low Attack investment? Like I get that it was at +3, but less than 50% from a super-effective Refrigerate Giga Impact?

pretty much EVERYTHING is wrong with this battle.

on one side we have the truley ingenious Toxic Flygon!
Inner Focus Dragonite and Draco Meteor Tyrantrum!!!
Normal Charizard with Flamethrower and fire blast on the same set!
and... Fly Salamence!
:v4:

On the other side we have an Air Baloon Togekiss (gotta ensure extra protection against EQ when using Roost!)
We also have a Charge Beam Druddigon! Draco Meteor Haxorus! Outrage Switching a Garchomp into a Hydreigon's Ice Fang (how did it survive?)
Said Garchomp had Whirlpool!
also....
the :afrostar: of the show..

ladies and gentlemen please welcome blizzard+sand stream tyranitar!

wow...just wow. That was epic seeing that battle of people using random moves.

as stupid as it sounds, flareon has a respectable base 95 SpA so.... Flamethrower is still a stupid choice but not nearly as idiotic as something like giga drain leafeon.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YAWN VAPOREON!
