Random Shit volume 37: I Should Be Studying Edition
-Red's team #32987478392, this one featuring physical Blastoise.
-Snorlax using Heavy Slam and Counter against a Y-zard.
-Weakness Policy Sylveon.
-Braviary.
-Forget Rotom-W, how about a Rotom-F?
-Dragonite setting up on an Ice Punch Golurk.
-Said Golurk outspeeding a M-Garchomp, without a scarf.
-Bastiodon.
-Noivern using Draco Meteor on said Bastiodon. At -4.
-Payback Umbreon. Apparently trying to RK an Infernape.
-Teeter Dance Meloetta.
-A guy who said "gg" after knocking out two of his opponent's mons. I was hoping he would lose after that, but it actually ended in a tie.
-Giga Drain Torterra.
-A Jynx (I've seen a bunch of those recently, for some reason) using Lovely Kiss on an already poisoned Greninja.
-Body Slam+Earth Power Donphan.
-Magma Storm Heatran vs. Infestation Mew. Heatran won.
-Ninetales without Drought. Although, it didn't particularly help or hurt any of its teammates.
-A Greninja froze a Dragalge on turn 1. What did the Dragalge player switch in? Gliscor.
-Electivire using EQ on an Archeops.
-Another Bastiodon that got a Klefki player to forfeit after MC'ing a T-wave.

-Scyther.
-Calm Mind Espeon. Not funny, but it sets up while Galvantula hits it with Bug Buzz and while I have a Bisharp in the wings.
-Flygon.
-Not gonna lie, I was pretty stupid dealing with Venusaur, lol.
-Using Toxic on Bisharp.
-A Flash Fire Flareon who uses Wish + Protect at full health, burns a Conkeldurr, has a Focus Sash, and uses Quick Attack.
-Random Flygon switch-in. Why not save it for death fodder or something?
 
I've seen Level 1 Aron with Shell Bell running endeavor, tackle, toxic, and aerial ace. Basically his sturdy allows him to survive and use endeavor get the opponent's health to 1. Then the Shell Bell gives you all of it's HP back and puts the sturdy in play again. Looks like you use a tackle or aerial ace to KO the Pokemon, unless a predicted switch out and then you can set up a toxic with full health Aron. Endeavor can be used a bunch if switch outs come in play. It's pretty smart if you ask me but really just a troll and risky, its also a waste of a spot for a good actual support. I don't know I thought I should share this.

That's not that silly. It's a real strategy called FEAR, and Aron even got a legitimate OU analysis last gen because of it.
 
It's paired up with sandstorm to Ko after endeavor

1. Assault vest suicune with 20% health using extreme speed to take out a talonflame... That 75 attack tho...
2. Go CB azumarill, use your horrifying 60 Special attack to hit that ferrothorn with a Foucs Blast!!
3. Kids, U should always avoid crazy people spamming (without switching) fake out..
4. After SubProtecting 8 turns to take rotom's hydro pump pp out, what do u do? Stealth Rock 32 times to win the PP war!! (Actually worked)
5. A pinsir without a mega...
 
Gliscor without Poison Heal isn't impossibly silly, as it can't use Defog if it has Poison Heal. So if you want a Ground/Flying offensive 'mon with Defog, that's one way to do it.

Magnemite @ Berry Juice
Ability: Sturdy
Level: 1
Shiny: Yes
Happiness: 1
Hasty Nature
IVs: 0 HP / 0 Def / 0 SAtk / 0 SDef
- Recycle
- Toxic
- Magic Coat
- Protect

gg@everything

So, not the dumbest thing in the world. Dies horribly to Mold Breaker or a round of bad prediction, but not completely unusable.
 
Meanwhile, in the Not Quite OU But Still Stupid department:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/customgame-91845441

In other (actual OU) battles, I saw a Magnezone that looked like it was a trapper, but ended up not having Magnet Pull. Then there was a Coil Eelektross wrecking face without a STAB. And multiple attempts to status an already statused Snorlax (edit: one of them was a T-wave+Toxic Klefki), plus people failing to understand that Rotom-W (and -H) 4x resist Bullet Punch. That one NFE team that's been showing up in this thread made another appearance and a victory. And last but not least, this gem:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-91850684
 
Charge Beam....Blissey, against my Florges. Gave it 252 SpAtk in Calcs but it definitely didn't have it:
-+5 252 SpA Blissey Charge Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Florges: 70-83 (19.4 - 23%) -- possible 6HKO after Leftovers recovery

A Metagross going for Earthquake, against a Florges...

Greninja changing itself into a Dark Type with Protean to attack...Florges.

Either Florges or Fairys confuse the shit out of people.

Hey, don't even hate on Magma Storm. It is a REALLY nice move, regardless of its accuracy. Also, Tormentran. I use it all the time but I NEVER try it when another Heatran is still standing. Apparently my opponent didnt get the memo, and got destroyed by my offensive one.
