Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder!

[Dr Ciel]

The foe's Kyurem used Cut!
It's not very effective...
Skarmory lost 1 HP! (0% of its health)
Skarmory fainted!

and same match...

The foe's Gengar used Lick!
Jirachi lost 18 HP! (5% of its health)
Jirachi is paralyzed! It may be unable to move

About the Kyurem bit: I have no words for that, actually.

Also, maybe that Gengar thought he was in the anime maybe?

I ran into this set a few days ago.
Snorlax w/leftovers

It took 3 +4body slams for me to realise he had no other moves. :p

That is almost the classic CurseLax, except instead or EQ/Crunch, he put Sleep Talk.

[Yuy]

Kyurem-B has Teravolt, man.

 

[Perplex]

One time my opponent had brought in an Alakazam after I KO'd one of his pokemon with my Tentacruel, which was what I assumed was there to Revenge Kill.
So I switch out to my Tyranitar thinking i'm going to have him in checkmate with Pursuit.
As the commands were issued I was met with a "Alakazam is tightening it's focus... !"
I was completely and utterly dumbfounded. It only hit for like 20%, but I was just too stunned / shocked / amazed I told the guy he wins this round, and I left.

 

[Yuttt]

Kyurem-B has Teravolt, man.

His point was Gengar used Destiny Bond when he still had the Focus Sash intact.

Oh, I thought he was surprised about Earth Power hitting.

252+ Atk Alakazam Focus Punch vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 368-436 (91.08 - 107.92%) -- 50% chance to OHKO

Don't hate on Focus Punch Alakazam, buddy.

Hydro Pump Specs Magikarp in rain.
Real talk.

[Exeggutive]

Starmie used Thunderbolt!
It's not very effective...
The foe's Its Electivire lost 29% of its health!
The foe's Its Electvire is paralyzed! It may be unable to move!
Starmie is hurt by its Life Orb!

Wait, which part: Using Thunderbolt on Electivire or not Motor Drive? Because they both seem pretty ridiculous to me.

Oh...I never knew that. Thanks dude.

 

[Yuy]

Mamoswine used Light Screen!
Light Screen raised your team's Special Defense!
The hail crashes down.
Some men just wanna watch the world burn. [irony implied]

 

[Aedan J]

So last year, I introduced my friend to competitive battling. He was fantastic on the RandBats ladder, so I had high hopes when he started building his own team.
The first pokemon was a Body Slam/Hidden Power Poison Roserade.

You have no idea how good Body Slam is. Slap it on any Pokemon and watch the opponent squirm in rage as they get parahax'd and also squirm in confusion as they try to figure out why the heck you even put body slam on a thing with such low physical attack.

 

[Chadtherest00]

I'm using spinda in the Ou ladder

Spinda
Item:leftovers
Dizzy punch
Rapid spin
Trick room
Teether dance

 

[bobismoi]

Does Scarfed Ferrothorn count as "silly?"

 

[Onicon]

Does Scarfed Ferrothorn count as "silly?"

Only if it runs Gyro Ball. I guess outrunning Slowbro is a plus.

 

[bobismoi]

I think it was meant to outspeed other Ferrothorns but still...

I tried introducing my friend to competitive battling. After I showed him how teambuilder works and told him to try to make an OU team, he showed me his battle-ready, Eviolite-carrying, Lopunny.

*sigh*

Should've showed him how to build a successful team too.
