Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder!

[Luigifan]

Someone sets up Belly Drum with their Azumarill.

Forretress Volt Switches to Talonflame.

Idiots will be idiots.

Hey, those are both valid. Belly Drum + Aqua Jet Azumarill is legal now, and Talonflame really would be a good counter to something like, say, Emboar. (I know Emboar is RU; I was just picking something that would counter Forretress, itself be countered by Talonflame, and possibly be slow enough for Forretress to Volt Switch on before getting roasted.)

i give up

Does Protect have more PP than King's Shield? 'Cause if it does, then I could see the logic behind this... faulty logic, yes, but at least making some kind of sense. (Oh, and King's Shield does protect from status moves, right? I've seen a rumor that it doesn't, which would be another reason to run Protect.)

HP Ground Talonflame. My opponent said it was for Heatran...

4 SpA Talonflame Hidden Power Ground vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Heatran: 132-156 (40.8 - 48.2%)

Well, to be fair, it is a 3HKO... so I guess it could soften Heatran up for something else?

 

[Blitz]

It's not a rumor. King's Shield does not protect from status moves.

Still, there's no reason to use it over King's Shield.

 

[Roar of Noob]

Only Kings Shield makes Aegislash to return defensive stance.

The Forretress and Talonflame were mine.

Swampert.

Dafuq?
Swampert is very bulky ,great defensive typing and the fact that grass pokes are rare in OU witch is the only weakness is a great thing
Gaastrodon and Quasire are slighttly better due to their abilities witch only makes then have different niches , but if we look at the stats Swanpert outclasses then

The hell is wrong with that?

 

[Roar of Noob]

It was about using Protect over Kings Shield.

 

[AOPSUser]

Not silly per se but this happens way too much.

Turn 1

Gengar has Mega Evolved into Mega Gengar!

Gengar used Substitute!
Gengar put in a substitute!
Gengar lost 24.8% of its health!

The opposing Smeargle used Spore!

What else did you expect Smeargle to do on Turn 1?

Also, so this isn't a completely useless post, Swords Dance Shaymin.

Anyway, does Aerial Ace Scizor counts?

EDIT: I have a mission today. Because I'm too lazy to ladder in PS today with my MegaPinsir team, I'm going to create a alternate account and reverse ladder with a full Metronome team. I'm going to report the condition from the battlegrounds.

 

[Malleon]

Currently reverse laddering.

Silly things found so far:
-Muscle Band Scrafty
-D-Nite-using Dragon Claw at Clefairy
-Trevenant used Will-o-Wisp and Confuse Ray... at the same target.
-The same Trevenant burned a Magic Guard Clefable.
-Chatot. Enough said.
-Sitrus Berry Metagross.
-Air Baloon Scizor.
-SD Mence... with Fire Blast.
-Gengar, despite has Shadow Ball, used Sludge Bomb on Mew. Oh, and Dream Eater.
-Brick Break Machamp, because Dynamic Punch OP
-Mega Kick/Discharge/Thunder/Thunderpunch Electivire.
-Chesto Berry Jolteon used Charge Beam to increase SpA and passed that to... Talonflame.
-Using Sacred Sword on Togekiss.
-Rain Dance/Magnet Rise Jolteon.
-Bulk Up Lucario, with Hi Jump Kick.
-A lonely Smeargle.
-Itemless Meloetta, Aerial Ace Aerodactyl, Hypnosis-Dream Eater Delphox (which used Heat Wave to my Thick Fat Snorlax)... on the same team.
-Eruption Typhlosion.
-Masquerain.
-Iron Tail Megazard X.
-Scarf Granbull, Rock Slide Mamoswine, Super Fang Crobat. On the same team... again.
-Dedenne / Slurpuff / Meowstic-F / Noivern / Charizard / Alakazam. That Dedenne has Thunder and Play Rough.
-BlackGlasses Offencive Umbreon w/ Dark Pulse AND Toxic. It seems that someone doesn't know Foul Play exists. Wait a second... it used Foul Play. Yep.
-A team consists of the Musketeers. And Ditto. And Mega Absol.
-Air Baloon Ursaring.
-A lonely Clefable.
-A team consists of Scolipede, Salamence, and Haxorus. Oh, and the Salamence has Brick Break.
-Furret.

I'll update this! (Once I reached Glicko2 rank 500, I will remake the post.)
EDIT: I'm tired, It's now 20:00 here in UTC+7 (Try to guess where I live!). I think I will continue tommorow!

 

[TM13IceBeam]

aa scizor is decent filler for now since superpower is illegal in xy ou (bank needed)

The problem is I was battling in Pokebank.

 

[TM13IceBeam]

wow ok now that's just random, he might have forgotten to change it to superpower or something :X

Some of these people sound like geniuses. Air Balloon gives your Pokemon something to play with in between turns, what's wrong with that? But seriously, some of these things aren't too bad, given that I don't have any context to go by. For example, Fire Blast isn't a bad move for Salamence, since it can roast steel types that would otherwise resist an Outrage.

I wish replays worked now. Just came across an entire team with Belly Drum. Mega Charizard X, Linoone, Darmanitan, Poliwrath, Hariyama, Lickilicky.

 

[Luigifan]

Tauros with Tail Whip. :v

I guess he wants to hit harder...? (Why not just use Bulk Up?)

 

[Dr Ciel]

Tauros doesn't get any stat raising moves outside of Work Up through, so I guess that could work to some extent.

 

[Scorpiopt]

this one really really went full retard

Flash = Heatran

The opposing Houndoom usedFlamethrower!
The power of Flash's Fire-type moves rose!
Turn 21
Flash usedFlamethrower!
It's not very effective...The opposing Houndoom lost 45% of its health!
The opposing Houndoom usedWill-O-Wisp!
It doesn't affect Flash...
