Flareblitz volcarona
Icefang sitrusberry avalugg. Cuz that 5%flinch rate is soo important right?

Who the fuck gets swept by a mamoswine!??

That 2nd battle was bad. Especially the Volcarona and Forretress. There isn't a single reason Volc shouldn't ohko Forry. And for that reason, it makes my Volc cry.

WTF is with these people and Aguav Berry? I can't think of a single reason to use that over Sitrus Berry (which is iffy on most sets anyway).

And hey, Mamo is legit. But that battle would have gone a lot faster if that Conk had Drain Punch.

Not to mention the Torrent Greninja and the non mega Lucario.

Ummm....this battle was terrible on purpose right?

I don't even know anymore...

I know mamoswine is good but it isn't a pokemon known to sweep teams. So losing all 6 mons to it is silly imo.

 

[Melons-N-Soda]

For some reason because of the recent posts I want to try and find an Aguav Berry noob on Showdown.

 

[Stone Alchemist]

Er... he forfeited right away. Not sure what to say about this.

Two Ubers teams with only one Uber each. Why use Kyogre when you can use Lapras or Empoleon? Gotta love the Ubers ladder.

Wait, hang on, this thread is about the OU ladder, not the Ubers ladder. There's another thread like this for the Ubers ladder.

 

[Skyderp]

May I say another thing? Oh, right; My Gourgiest-Small has frisk to determine the item(to predict the opposing pokemon's set). I frisked an Infernape's Choice Band. The Infernape used Swords Dance.

Couldn't find any aguav berries this time but...

Swoobat sweep. 2 words that shouldn't coexist in a sentence.

I once faced someone with nothing but a shiny Magikarp that was named "PLEASE FORFEIT". Naturally, I forfeited. (Only because it was an alt that I didn't care about)

[Malleon]

I bet it's BlameTruth who made people using Delibird; he just showcased it. I reckon I understand now why DunDeal doesn't like him very much....

 

[Hydreigon29]

The opposing Hitmontop used Foresight!(well, it helped to remove stealth rocks >_>)
Trevenant was identified!

----------------------------

The opposing Trevenant ate its Salac Berry!
The Salac Berry raised the opposing Trevenant's Speed!

---------------------------

The opposing Sylveon used Swift!
Trevenant lost 21.7% of its health!

All in one battle.

EDIT: Just saw an Overcoat Forretress....

Cinccino sweep. Nuff said.(although the DRAGONAIR gets a mention)

Any player who gets swept by Pokemon that are garbage outside of NU/RU/UU (The last for some) probably don't know that they could've used a certain mon to kill the sweeper/setup pass mon. (The Cinccino sweep from a recent post could've been prevented if he lead with Charizard instead of DRAGONAIR to kill the Scolipede)

Something else I noticed with that 2nd one:

Synchronize Alakazam
Continuing to use Outrage vs. Klefki

I Kinda get what that first set was for (boosting the power of Stored Power), though it was still silly.

That second guy though with the Honedge, did he even EV his pokemon? Why is a Charizard (that is obviously not choiced) outspeeding Greninja? Also none of those sets make sense at all.

Yeah the alakazam was stupid but i think he was locked into outrage.

 

[Scorpiopt]

if your locked into outrage , you cant switch out you need to wait for it to end, even if the opponent its immune to it , same with trash

EDIT: Just saw an Overcoat Forretress....

Foresight is on Hitmontop's analysis. Besides, Overcoat on Forretress is not a bad ability. It has an niche of "Hazard Setter and Spinner that is not vulnerable to Spore." On most occasion, though, it's better for you if you use Sturdy....

Too many silly things to count. But the aguav berry sticks out. Like why? I never even picked those berries ingame. Thats how terrible they are.

O_O whoa that is a bad battle. How the hell did he get so high on the ladder? And i have this theory that noobs just don't have the patience to go through the list of items so they pick something that starts from A

[Emmy2]

This is the thing that I find silly about a lot of these sets. WTF is he trying to hit with that? It's not like he can't use Iron Head for Fairies, or knock off/night slash for things that don't resist it...

For some reason, I want to run an Air Balloon Rotom-W and call it "fuck Mold Breaker"!

When I was a n00b in early August, I remember Earthquaking Rotoms and Hydreigons a few times. I knew Latias and Latios cannot be EQed though.
