Seriously?
Also a Surf+Waterfall+Rock Smash+Strength Lapras. What is this, a Gen 3 HM slave?
There was also a Flash Fire Ninetales with Overheat and Power Swap that actually worked well (until Overheat missed and Ninetales got killed by Scizor), as well as a Sunny Day normal Houndoom. A Signal Beam Galvantula also showed up. There was also a team with Politoed, Kabutops, Ninetales, Tyranitar, Stoutland, and what I'm assuming was Y-zard.
And then this happened: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-105254594

Facade gliscor is(or was) a thing.
the rest is stupid
Apparently, Flame Orb Pixilate Facade Sylveon does more damage than Pixilate Hyper Voice Sylveon. Not that it's any less of a bad idea, mind you.
It would have made sense if it even HAD any of those kinds of orbs equipped, but it didn't. I'm guessing he was hoping to get toxic'd or something for it to work :I
Who knows why this user on this occasion didn't use shell smash? Presumably, they had their reason. Maybe they were anticipating a switch.
None of that stops focus sash being an eminently sensible option on Cloyster, even despite its high defence.
I saw your generic Toxic Orb Gliscor the other day. Then it used Acrobatics.
That's not that unusual.
I cant even.You know what's really silly:
Really? Huh.
Toxic Orb + Fling + Acrobatics is a thing, IIRC
ah, I see.
I was battling a guy who had a scarfed special salamence. I was able to bring in my goodra and finish him off, I was laughing so hard when I saw it.
I actually battled this guy I was just purely shocked by his team. My t-tar was able to pull through for me though. P.S. his murkrow was eviolite I asked him during the battle
I'm bored so I want to share this with you guys:
- Flare Blitz Lum Ninetales
- SKUNTANK w/ a moveset
- Agility Accelgor
- Sometimes it's the smalltalk happening in a battle:

Technically UU, but includes such gems as...
- Aguav Berry Pikachu
- Aguav Berry Suicune
- Aguav Berry everything
- Said Pikachu only had Volt Tackle and Electroball
- Said Suicune with amazing water/water/water/water coverage in Whirlpool, Bubble Beam, Hydropump, and Water Pulse
- Uxie using Extrasensory, even with it learning Psychic, a generally superior option.
-Heat Crash Emboar.
-Hydro Cannon Greninja
-Roar MManectric (Way to faze my Deo D. Such a massive threat (Sarcasm))
-Said Manectric using Overheat.... On my Chandlelure (I switched first, but it was an obvious move considering there were no hazards on my end)
-The SAME Manectric using Roar... Against a Flash Fire boosted Chandlelure. Didn't go through because I one shot it. With Fire Blast. Shoulda gone for Thunderbolt.
Okay I'm bashing the one guy too much now :/ but you get my point.... Right?

Force palm is physical. Additionally, even though drain punch is better, assuming it had technician, it was essentially using a base 90 STAB fighting move, so thats not awful.

Toxic on Both Gengar and Ferrothorn.
Plus, Random Protect thrown on Mega Ampharos.
Not so sure if that's common...

Wasnt able to save the replay, but I did build a scouting team to see what I could find and encountered a team with these two gems:
His Roserade then started spamming Leech Seed and Stun Spore against Gourgeist while he still had 3 other Pokemon in reserve...
