Round two of "Can you watch this without injuring yourself?" : http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-96925535 (Yep, this is becoming my thing now)

- Sludge Wave Gengar (Over Sludge Bomb....?)
- Offensive, leftovers Trevenant
- A fucking all ghost team
- Shadow Claw Aeglislash (Like Gengar...Over Shadow Sneak)
- Another goddamn regigigas stall
- Non Will-O-Wisp Mega Banette
- BANETTE STAYED IN WITH GENGAR
- It's fucking like gengar can learn focus blast (Turn 23, and earlier turns)
- Leftovers Aegislash

Albacore

Should've made it another now of these rounds....

And, to everyone, this is my go-to team, that I've been using in these replays. Thoughts?

I've seen LOTS of those. No matter how awesome Wikstrom makes it look, Shadow Claw on Aegislash is horrible.

Sludge Wave is more powerful than Sludge Bomb and hits Bulletproof Chestnaught. Pretty odd niche but it could be a thing in lower tiers.

Errrrr....
Such Flower used Hidden Power!
A critical hit! It's super effective! The opposing Aegislash hung on using its Focus Sash!
The opposing Aegislash lost 99% of its health!
Such Flower lost some of its HP!

WHO USES FOCUS SASH ON AN AEGISLASH?!

I'm more curious to who Such Flower was. I have several guesses (Florges, Lilligant, Bellossom etc.), though I don't think any of them are really correct.

Poison chance is useless when you use SwagPlay Banette (which doesn't run WoW by default and runs TWave instead)
Many Gengars run Dazzling Gleam for coverage instead of Focus Blast
Also for you: Tough Claws-boosted Crunch hits Aegislash harder than EQ. Since second King's Shield has 1/2 chance to fail and it's pretty risky to use it, Crunch could be used on every other turn

I don't think Gengar really wants to be walled by Chesnaught of all things.
Also, Gengar is an offensive Pokemon. I don't think it really cares all that much about inflicting status.

My point exactly... Says the guy who runs Sludge Bomb on his Gengar. YAY HYPOCRISY! (Never use him anyway XD)

Don't understand why so many people are even playing a competitive server if they like to use random, pointless shit.

-Druddigon in ubers
-Chatot in OU
-Those random little cup teams in ubers
-Sap sipper azumarills
-Hitmonlee in OU
-Swellow in OU

I like to test out my "weird shit" in pokemon showdown to see whats viable and what isn't. I actually respect a lot more those who battle with "weird shit" they came up on their own, than those who simply copy and paste what EVERYBODY ELSE is using.
 
Specially offensive Dragonite.
Aerial Ace Chesnaught.
Shiftry (already suspicious, this is OU and it's not a sun team) with both Energy Ball and Giga Drain.

Please help me out here, I can't manage to grasp the concept. Someone can actually consider themselves a competitive player, when all they do is copy and paste entire teams and sets? Or do you people at least admit that you aren't really that competitive when it comes to team building, but you are so at playing? I'm curious.

"Someone"

"you people"

It's obvious you're just trolling here but put some more effort into it.
 
> Aegislash using Toxic on Aggron
> Landorus-T with Earthquake and Earth Power
> Scolipede using Swords Dance in front of boosted Dragonite. After properly stalling for Speed the previous two turns.
> Said DD Dragonite using Draco Meteor and Dragon Claw. On Metagross.
> Got a Charizard to revenge kill that Metagross? Better use Sylveon.
> Lilligant using Giga Drain. And SolarBeam. With no Sun.

What I have seen the last days not nessecary on the ladder but wifi as well:
- non-EV Charm Mega-Latias (I have the replay saved for 3DS owners lol)
- Hidden Power Chandelure...it used it against my Mega-Scizor and was super effective (didn't OHKO)
- More Pokemon with useless HM moves like Cut, Strenght or Fly (not to stall something)
- Complete STAB set...with the thoughprocess: "hmm...Fire Blast didn't do anything...maybe I should try Ember"
- Special Steelix
- More HYPER BEAM
- Mixed HM-Slave Latios
Click to expand...

Wait a minute, though... there's only one type that's super effective against Scizor, and that's fire.

Which means that this guy gave Chandelure HP Fire, passing up several more powerful STAB options on the way.

Yeah.
 
difference between niche, unviable and stupid
Niche: a pokemon that fills an unique or semi-unique role in the metagame
Example: Shuckle is one of few pokemon that can set up both Stealth Rock and Sticky web. It also has access to power split and has decent bulk. This gives shuckle a niche on Hyper-Offensive Teams.

unviable: A pokemon or moveset that
a. Needs more support than the reward you get.
b. Is totally and hopelessly outclassed
c. Gives the guy you battle against a monstreus ammount of free turns
Example: While being a strong Pokemon with good bulk and instant recovery, the fact that Slaking has truant makes it unviable

Stupid: A set or pokemon that absolutley makes no real sense
Example: Energy Ball Absorb Jellicent.
