Stone edge is a 2HKO with an intact sash (does ~60%), and U-turn+Stone Edge can chance KO a switching in DNite (w/rocks) so not necessarily bad play. You haven't provided enough information as to why it was bad play

Hidden Power fire Terrakion. Wtf
I laughed that he picked the wrong hidden power when I switched Lando-t in to set up sr. My scizor didn't laugh when I tried to set up swords dance on it...

Best thing I ever saw with Frizy getting 6-0ed by Chlorophyll Whimsicott with like, Grass STAB / Growth / Shadow Ball / Hidden Power Fire
If the Dragonite was a Dragon Dance or Choice Band variant, ExtremeSpeed would be enough to take Dugtrio out in two hits (assuming that its Focus Sash is intact). Furthermore, Dugtrio only has a 80% chance to OHKO Dragonite with Stone Edge factoring accuracy. I do agree that @starwarsfan did not provide enough information, however (like if SR was in play on both sides).
Choice Specs Haxorus.
@Magcargo 2 there were sr on both sides, as 1 toxic spikes on mine. My Dragonite set was Roost/ExtremeSpeed/Dragon Claw/Substitute. Sorry!
btw, my set was already revealed.

The horrible thing with the Eeveelution teams is that they never seem to even try to play to the strengths of the mons and have horrible sets that would only work in story mode on the cartridges.
The amount of times I've had people forfeit on me when they switch in a Toed or Tales and weather fails to activate. That 5 second pause as they realise what they've done and then the rage quit.
Fake out, Last resort Ambipom. no other moves, just those 2.
The fact that you saw Ambipom in OU at all is silly if you ask me.
A mono-dragon team, but they were all slower than my scarf Latios. I won in 24 moves; Draco Meteor, switch to Scizor, U-Turn, Draco Meteor, switch to Blissey, wish, switch, Draco Meteor, repeat.
Riolu without copycat.
I wouldn't say this is silly because he's a bad player, but just because of how mad he got. Here's the log (9 turns long). Please remember this is from BW1, and this thread reminded me of it so here it is.

This always happens around the 1800's range because here are noobs who get that high due to luck or ladder inflation.
A lot of people (such as myself) use the ladder to practice using their monotype teams vs. regular teams, because they're in a league as a gym leader/e4 position where people can challenge the league with a regular team. I don't exactly expect to win often with a bug mono on the regular ou ladder, especially with all the sun teams + Tyranitar/Heatran running around; but I do win far more often than I should, and it's great practice for league challenges. I don't think most people running these teams actually seriously expect to win too often, and are probably doing it for the challenge of doing so/practice for a league. On a similar note, it *is* silly when someone actually loses to the bug mono with a sun team.
As for actual silly things, I see a fair amount of people who don't appear to have any basic knowledge of game mechanics. I came across one person once who had a Scizor with an insect plate; bug buzz, x-scizzor, uturn, swords dance. Another one who had a Blissey with drain punch and a scarfed Forretress (it outspeeded a Zapdos, which is impossible without a scarf). The silliest thing is when people spam the same attack that didn't work repeatedly. Idk how many times I've seen people spam Thunder/water attacks on a Gastrodon, or will-o-wisp a Volcarona for ~8 turns while I set up, etc....
yea, this just reminded me of another silly thing: gym leader/e4 on showdown
HP Water Ferrothorn, "to hit fire types". Seriously, at least use Bulldoze if it's really that important.
I saw a physical SubPunch Blissey once. I seriously hope that player was joking.
A Curse/Calm Mind Lileep would count as this if I wasn't swept by it. Either I'm really bad, or I played recklessly and he predicted really well (I'm not crossing out the first, because I have a 1950 or so rating which is good but not really that good). That was a long time ago, though.

Yes, now that I remember.
I just faced 5 teams in a row who didn't have Stealth Rock. Oh wait...
No stealth rock ladder XD volc spam i guess?
