I got that. Weakness Policy/Shell Smash/Sturdy lands you +4 Attack and +2 speed. Both times I was concerned about priority though. Here was my thought pattern:
- (Stone Edge on Torterra): I was predicting he'd use Earthquake. This would leave me with a 1 HP Carracosta likely. I thought I might as well exchange the two. I knew at this point that it had Quick Attack (and even if I didn't, I would have done the same since it's pretty standard) so if I used Shell Smash I'd end up with the above boosts but KO'd due to Quick Attack before hitting anything
- (Stone Edge on Infernape): I see quite a few Infernapes with Mach Punch (last time I checked it was 43%). I was concerned about using Shell Smash again and went for the exchange instead.
That Vespiquen is IMMENSE. How is it not rated as viable with that much bulk? It single-handedly stalled out a half dozen different uber pokes!
I actually use that Carracosta in my Battle Spot team but with Aqua Jet instead of Earthquake. It's quite fun.
God freakin dammit.
Ah well, I'll just make my own team, with blackjack, and hookers!

You see me rollin'
You hatin?
Also, Leftovers Chansey
With Substitute
LEFTOVERS CHANSEY WITH SUBSTITUTE
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
(Also, I changed the names of the rest of the mon to make them fit lol, but nothing else.)
And that Ambipom set is almost the same one I run in UU, except with Knock Off instead of Revenge
May I ask where is Gardevoir?
Once again, Vespiquen did the vast bulk of the work, including beating M-Pinsir one on one. This is a much better poke than I had previously given it credit for!
Sssh dude
only gamefreak can make bans, don't listen to the devil smogon
after all zygarde and phione are broken are they not
It's also one of the only (if not THE only) water families that doesn't have a water STAB on its best attacking stat
(and it even got a +10 base atk in gen 6, trollfreak pls)
gotta love how they are only unbanning phione in the same competition that they are unbanning things like kyogre and xerneas in.

Why would anyone ever do this. Some silly type shit.

-Dragon Pulse+Flail Flygon.
-Rampardos.
-Magical Leaf Celebi.
-That worked, I guess: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135155426
-Weakness Policy Deoxys-D. And it beat a Scolipede, but that was only because Megahorn missed twice.
-This one, starring Graveler and Altaria. On the winner's side: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135152680

-Thundurus using Thunder Wave on Garchomp.
To be fair on that Vensaur, Sceptile can't threaten it while Sludge Bomb does a ton of damage in return. It was probably predicting a switch.
Similar situation with that Thundurus, since it outspeeds Chomp and HP Ice does a ton.

Featuring Dive Ball Swampert, Wild Charge Noivern (What is that even supposed to hit?), Emboar, Electivire, and Empoleon. Sadly, the last three didn't do much of anything, as Landorus swept.

Acrobatics, Flame Charge, Air slash MegaZard-X (All used against heatran mind you), Ralts/Kirlia in OU, and Facde Gardevoir.

David vs Goliath.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135184465
Team A:
- Amnesia Weakness Policy Slowbro.
- X-Scissor Mega Pinsir. OK, it has STAB, but it's worse than Return, EQ or even Close Combat.
- Slurpuff. At least it's the Sitrus Berry Belly Drum version. Also, remember: Thief removes your Unburden boost if it steals an item.
- Non-Mega Venusaur.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135186596
Team A:
- Iron Head Heatran, sacced vs Mamoswine.
- Choice Scarf Mamoswine. It already has Ice Shard for priority (I'd use Scarf Garchomp as a Scarf Ground-type). At least this set surprised the opponent.
- Florges.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135192457
Team A:
- Qwilfish, with Acid Spray.
- Well, apart from Starmie (who is UU), his whole team is NU.
- Giga Drain Breloom.
- Also, he's the one who forfeited, instead of his NU opponent.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135194022
David vs Goliath.
Team A: Looks like an early in-game team from Pokémon X or Y. He even copied the levels!
- Level 9 Fletchling.
- Level ?? Froakie.
- Level ?? Metapod.
- Level ?? Kakuna.
- Level ?? Zubat.
- Dragon Rush Charizard.
- Electivire.
- Jellicent.
HP Fire Greninja's a thing. It hits Ferrothorn and Scizor, who can tank your attacks a lot of the time and cripple/set up on you.
