I'm aware they both are.
My team still doesn't have either of those and is still reasonably good.


Hoo boy... A failed Elekid sweep ends with me using Wynaut, of all things, as setup bait.

And then there is this match. I don't know which is sadder: The fact that someone's laddering with the early-game rodents, or the fact his opponent LOST to that team.

Then a Riolu sweep, for lulz. Who lets their foe set up to +6 in speed, and +4 Attack, and then fails to kill the switch-in with Gyro Ball with all the hazards up? This guy deserved to be swept by a pokemon in the lowest tier possible(Yes, LC UU exists)

LC isn't an OM, it's an official tier...

It's been a while since I've posted, and I've been gathering some new material...

Level 89 Charizard-Mega-X, Shinx that almost got a KO, and a baby Servine vs. Ranger mike:

A guy with an Ubers team claiming to have never lost with it, and immediately getting swept:

More coming when I find them buried deep in the replay server...
that guy bears a striking resemblance to WhatWasThatNoise. Same avatar, and blue and all XD
 
This post is not silly as in stupidity, but silly as in the chat.
I'm down to my Bunnelby and Abra, while he has 4 mons left. Bunnelby proceeds to plow through Mienfoo, Cubchoo, and Chinchou before being revenged by Fletchling. Abra comes in, and the chat gets funny.
Yoshi Lighthouse: gg
Apt-get: It ain't gg till it's gg
Yoshi Lighthouse: I'm sashed
Apt-get: You think Psychic will OH?
Yoshi Lighthouse: I do

The opposing Fletchling used Acrobatics!
Abra lost 94% of its health! Abra hung on using its Focus Sash!

Abra used Psychic!
The opposing Fletchling lost 95% of its health!
The opposing Fletchling fainted!

Apt-get: Oh

Yoshi Lighthouse won!

There's nothing wrong with normal Garchomp in BH in general. Yes, its attack power is significantly lower, but its 102 speed lets it break two important speed tiers that Mega-Garchomp falls short on. 95 and 100, specifically, which is where many of the major Pokemon reside (as well as 90). Of course, you need to be running a set that leverages its higher natural speed, which is something that Garchomp wasn't doing, so in this case it was a bit dumb.

...though I'd argue him using Zard-Y without Defog or Spin support is far sillier than anything else he did.

FEAR... Heatran? Plus Boomburst Rayquaza and some rather unfortunate hax.

Saw Beautifly and a non-mega Absol in CAP.

Pretty sure Whirlipede gets Speed Boost... (and wat bulky Staravia)

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/hackmons-111475139
Some interesting stuff here... Perish Trap M-Aerodactyl, double Steel Dialga, and (because it's PH) Wonder Guard everywhere.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/xybattlespotdoubles-111476462
Um...

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/xybattlespotdoubles-111480056
Yeah, there are gimmicks, but that guy's play is inexcusable.
Heatran can do a fear set since its immune to burns and toxics
Absol is an UU pokemon it can still do stuff in OU and CAP
Straviava cab be bulky in pu with intimidate and eviolite + roost
Anything can do Perish Trap if they want,+ Aero is fast. WG Granbull is silly though.
What do you mean double steel dialga?
Battle Spot Doubles are NOT an OM ( I respect the guy for using marill )
 
How is Emolga silly in Sky Battles?
I've never played Sky Battles (I know, why am I even here then), but like... why Emolga of all things? I guess it's one of few Electric/Flying types, with the others being Rotom-S (lol), Zapdos and Thundurus. Might be one of those people who considers any and all legendaries cheap.

Looks like these guys brought their OU teams into BH... sort of. Featuring Crunch+Iron Tail Skarmory, Icicle Spear+Ice Beam+Hydro Pump+Psychic Water Gem Cloyster, Air Slash Scizor, the act of mega evolution, Flamethrower Gliscor, and Focus Blast Dragonite.

Abomasnow combo breaker.

Yet another edit: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pandora-smogondoublesubers-551572
I guess Doubles Ubers is an OM... Regardless, this is pretty dumb.
