Well this August say hi to No Status & MonsJustMons stupidness!
Also:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-254806384
Weather wars, Electivire and the famous troll Aron.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/proteanpalace-254809986
Also Protean Palace's last day :(
Well in here the two guys have the EXACT same team which took from Joshz's RMT you can find here. This lead to an interesting battle and a funny dialogue.
Those guys have a really good choice in teams tbh.
 
So I decided to post more stuff, and boy do I have some good ones.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255090984
Mono Lopunny with stuff like Blizzard and Focus Blast vs. mono FEAR Nosepass with Attract. And Lopunny team gets a 6-0.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255091714
Lone CM Mega Audino gets a sweep, thanks to the opponent having Sash Gallade, Umbreon, and four special attackers.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255091140
Mono Metronome Mew vs. Draco Meteor Jirachi, Arceus-Dragon, and Dragon Rush+Draco Meteor Hydreigon.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255092413
More mono stuff in AG, this time a mono Talonflame that got stopped cold by SR Arceus-Steel.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokestrat-pu-256
Dedenne on both teams. One had Starf Berry. And a pitifully weak Dusknoir doing only 22% to Gogoat with Shadow Sneak.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-255094221
Lansat Berry Shiftry, Ingrain Mega Venusaur, and not one, but two freezes.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-255093640
"Umbreon used Dig!" Pretty much sums this one up.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255092358
Speaking of Umbreon, one guy brings 6 of them, says "gg" at turn 17, only to forfeit at turn 31 after failing to break Sunny Day non-Chlorophyll Venusaur.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255092369
A mono Serene Grace team with Rest+Snore Jirachi failing to count sleep turns, Teeter Dance Meloetta (Swagger much?), and more.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255099538
One one side: Eeveelutions. On the other: Mega Garchomp using Dragon Rush on Sylveon, Infernape following up with Close Combat, Torrent Greninja, and Hitmonlee very nearly turning the tables, only failing to KO Leafeon and dying to Leaf Blade.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255098507
OCM Lugia with Earthquake, Hydro Cannon Greninja (at least it was Protean this time), and Foul Play+Aerial Ace Darkrai.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255099483
Six Darkrai vs. five Arceus and... Magikarp (which, contrary to the nickname, is not faster than Gyarados unless it's raining).

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255098506
Kee Berry Hoopa-U will solve all your problems. Unless you're facing Normal Gem Fake Out Infernape and Mega Kangaskhan.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogontriples-255098035
Mono Bug vs. that damn Sturdinja gimmick, and plenty of attempted hax abuse, culminating with Sheddy getting burned by Flame Body.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-255099748
Shuckle vs. FEAR Aron. Hilarity forfeiting ensues.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255102380
Flamethrower Mega Gyarados (triggering Aegislash's Occa Berry), a hilarious turn 7 including a very bad Ampharos, Hyper Beam clones everywhere, and the requisite case of wtf-are-these-mons-doing-in-AG.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255102160
Ditto has a niche. Nosepass can at least be an annoying little bastard when used properly. But I fail to see the purpose of Unown. Also, neither Rayquaza had a good item, and then a major mindfuck moment on turn 18.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-255102869
Left:
Explosion Shuckle.
Jumpluff.
Luvdisc.
Magikarp.
Forfeiting when he could have done something about that Xerneas, or at least set up.

Right:
GeoXern with Close Combat and Aurora Beam.


http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-255105191
Trace Megazam comes in on Contrary Latios and goes straight for the Calm Mind. Then on turn 36:
★daaaaannnnyy: its not doing anything
Against Sturdinja.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255106104
3 mon team consisting of Sunny Day Shuckle, Victreebel, and Typhlosion. I also don't want what righty was on when he made that Yveltal set.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255105893
Stoutland doing more than it should without sand, Torrent Greninja, Dusknoir, and others.
 
My turn:

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255116885
Very interesting sets at the very least, Hoopa-U sweep, and two fails involving Alakazam: using Psycho Cut (lol) on Hoopa-U, and Recover at full-health.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-255116303
Not much here. Protect Bisharp and failing to remember the Sleep Clause.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255119590
4 mons on right's team, X-Scissor Crobat, Aegislash sweep.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-255122322
Funny dialogue: when a guy says HJK will miss and misses.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255120559
L:
- Flame Body Talonflame.
- Toxic used on Lucario.
- Using Solar Beam against Lugia.

R:
- Shadow Force Arceus, with Draco Meteor.
- Mixed offensive Lugia (Psyshock / Earthquake / Sky Attack).
- Mixed Lucario with Detect.
- Outrage Giratina-O.
-Earthquake Palkia.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-255121717
Blizzard Exploud.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255123625
Mono-Smeargle with very weird sets (lol Life Orb Smeargle).

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255125724
Flash, Vigoroth, non-Mega Beedrill, Raichu...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255125857
Mono-Mismagius. Perish Trap Mismagius.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-255127218
Douse Drive Genesect and a Mono-Flying made almost entirely by shitmons.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255126518
Slaking is back.
 
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255092413
More mono stuff in AG, this time a mono Talonflame that got stopped cold by SR Arceus-Steel.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Flare Blitz?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255092358
Speaking of Umbreon, one guy brings 6 of them, says "gg" at turn 17, only to forfeit at turn 31 after failing to break Sunny Day non-Chlorophyll Venusaur.
Those nicknames ("cunt") pretty much sum up the guy's personality. Is there anything cuntier than saying "gg" when the battle isn't even halfway done?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255099483
Six Darkrai vs. five Arceus and... Magikarp (which, contrary to the nickname, is not faster than Gyarados unless it's raining).
Magikarp jokes are pretty much the deadest meme of all. It's not funny and hasn't been funny since 2000.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255102380
Flamethrower Mega Gyarados (triggering Aegislash's Occa Berry), a hilarious turn 7 including a very bad Ampharos, Hyper Beam clones everywhere, and the requisite case of wtf-are-these-mons-doing-in-AG.
I think from now on I'm going to point out when someone has a Starter Squad.
Also, that Dynamic Punch had a 37,5% chance of hitting and yet it still hit O_O. And how can that Mega Gyarados be outsped by Aegislash?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255102160
Ditto has a niche. Nosepass can at least be an annoying little bastard when used properly. But I fail to see the purpose of Unown. Also, neither Rayquaza had a good item, and then a major mindfuck moment on turn 18.
Maybe Reshiram was Banded? (Also, Physical Reshiram)

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-255105191
Trace Megazam comes in on Contrary Latios and goes straight for the Calm Mind. Then on turn 36:
★daaaaannnnyy: its not doing anything
Against Sturdinja.
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy said:
The opposing Alakazam-Mega used Shadow Ball!
It's super effective! Latios lost 8.5% of its health!

Latios used Psycho Boost!
A critical hit! It's not very effective... The opposing Alakazam-Mega lost100% of its health!
Latios's Special Attack sharply rose!

The opposing Alakazam-Mega fainted!
★daaaaannnnyy: you idiot
Why? You were the one who used Calm Mind (On an Alakazam, of all things) when you had Contrary.

I though I was the only idiot who took Unown to a serious battle outside of Fail Cup (I used it on Battle Mainson to be exact. Guess the results)
 
Edit: this is the new seasonal
Turn 11

A Blooper came down and splattered ink all over Brawl MK's screen!
A Blooper came down and splattered ink all over MarlingL's screen!

Gorebyss used Hydro Pump!
The opposing Mismagius avoided the attack!

The opposing Mismagius used Violet Radiance!
Gorebyss avoided the attack!

I gotta get in on this.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/challengecup1v1-255697189
Both players actually get on-stat STABs. I have to wonder, though, if the right sent out Magnemite, what was the rest of that team like?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255698018
Left side has Mega Latias. Mega Latias proceeds to sweep. Highlights include Luxray using Superpower instead of SE STAB, an apparent fully-special Mega Mence (because a Draco on something with +3 SpD is totally gonna get it done), and Lugia with EQ and Hydro Pump and using EQ on the Eon.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255699752
Yveltal gets off a nice little lead sweep, beating Dragonite (with Iron Head), Malamar, and Cloyster, only to fall to...Thunderbolt Snorlax. Said Yveltal had Dragon Claw for a coverage move and stayed in on Malamar with a Gengar in the back, but you can't argue with results. Finishing the job is a PDon also packing Dragon Claw alongside Overheat, EQ and Double-Edge (no, Normal coverage is not best coverage), which landed a hit on a Minimized Chandelure and faced a Quick Claw Double Team Goodra.
 

The Diabolic Gift

Banned deucer.
While being undefeated in anything goes and winning almost 30 consecutive battles a player with 4 Dittos and Smeargle and Liepard beat me 5-0, with a great strategy abusing prankster assist.
 
Fucking Mario Kart Seasonal?
Actually, DM, that's exactly what it is. It's even called Rainbow Road, aka the most infuriating track there is.

Anyway, back to silliness.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/challengecup1v1-255765731
Torkoal using Rapid Spin with no hazards up and while having a stronger attack (Return), then using Iron Defense while Toxic slowly killed it and after the Vanilluxe opposite it had shown a special attack (Hyper Beam). The movesets are bad enough, we don't need bad play too.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-255766919
Three-attacks Cresselia refusing to get out on Scizor (and Scizor not taking advantage of this to get to +6), Berry Juice Dialga, Palkia using Surf on Venusaur, and a forfeit after complaining about a slow computer. (Disabling animations helps with this--and I know of what I speak; my own laptop is a year and a half old using public wifi, and that works pretty well for me.)

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-255771000
Meloetta gets the drop on her first Shadow Ball (well, she has Serene Grace too, you know), presenting the possibility that she might triumph. Alas, the Wishmaker Flinch King pulls through yet again.
 
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/nostatus-255803887
  • Leftovers Rampardos.
  • Specs Milotic with Blizzard and Dragon Breath.
  • Blissey with Body Slam, Rock Smash, and Blizzard, and no leftovers.
  • Regenerator Megazam stays in on my Conkeldurr.
  • At no time is their damn Landorus-T used as a switch-in to Conkeldurr until they literally have no other option.
  • The one obvious switch-in they do make, to Chandelure on my recently paralyzed Conkeldurr, is the one I managed to predict. Oops.
 
Some BH stupidity, for a change.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-256115340
LC vs. OU. Or at least that's what it looks like, until they start attacking.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-256113360
4 attacks Shuckle with Hyperspace Fury, Perish Trap Dusknoir trying to trap Gengar, Dive+Solar Beam MMX, and my personal favorite: Stockpile+Draco Meteor+Ancient Power+Recover Quick Claw Simple Deoxys-D.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-256114430
I don't even want to know what these guys were thinking. At least that Litwick had Water Absorb.
 
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monsjustmons-256295405
Mons Just Mons doesn't make Hyper Beam usable. Also an Ice Punch freeze, and this game was way too short.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-256296104
MegaMence with EQ/Dragon Rush (zero for three)/Draco/Fly, Zap Cannon/Electro Ball Magnezone, Smack Down Cradily (and dat nickname tho), Starmie with Psyshock/Waterfall/Water Pulse/Dream Eater (used on a non-sleeping foe) and a Froakie. The guy with the Froakie and weird Mence won, and deservedly so.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-256298484
Pikachu and friends, mopped up by a pair of Water-types (Starmie, then Keldeo). How embarrassing. Rating indicates the team has actually won a couple of games already.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/challengecup1v1-256299594
Both mons get STABs. Fearow gets Sky Attack...but Moltres has Fire Blast. Battle over.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-256300453
Deoxys-D with a Sub, Recover, and Brick Break, which it used on a MegaMence that had Intimidate pre-mega. Yeah, you can imagine how that went.
