Sub+Protect+Swords Dance-passing Celebi though. Like, I suppose it's useful because of Leech Seed and Spore immunities, but still... And why Protect when you don't have the ability Speed Boost? Wouldn't Seed Bomb or Zen Headbutt be better so you at least have an attack move? Also Sky Uppercut instead of anything relevant.

Also the guy who was winning: "Say hola, b****!"

I saw a guy with a good team, minus the Amaura he used because he couldn't think of a 6th one.

Not even an Aurorus? Just a random Amaura? And Protip: If you can't think of a sixth Pokémon for your team, find a gimmick set and use it. Or slap on a Greninja, that works too. Or a Baton Passer.

Yes, an Amaura. It looked like one, it was cuter. He quit after seeing my solo Metapod team.

Oh god I didn't even notice.

What's wrong with Meowstic-F? Given the chance it can be alright. Not in OU of course but in UU or possibly whatever tier it ends up in it could do pretty good.
Click to expand...

It's basically Meowstic-M with an offensive movepool (as opposed to a supporting one) and no Prankster. Which leaves it with terrible stats and mono-psychic typing. In OU, Male Meowstic would be better. And even then, it's a pretty bad choice.


OT: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-99176136 -- Oh look, even Ash wants to get in on the SwagPlay ban.
 
So, I was browsing through my replays that I saved, and I came across one of my OU Monotypes battles.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oumonotype-95329562 <- Not one, but five of his pokemon had Toxic. Sashed Lucario with Blaze Kick. Double Protecting Aegislash. And Substitute Ferrothorn with Ingrain and Leech Seed.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oumonotype-95613484 <-Metagross, Malamar, Alakazam, and Reuniclus were fine. Gallade with Stone Edge, and Jirachi that had Gravity.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oumonotype-95876987 <-Rotom-W with Confuse Ray, Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, and Volt Switch. Raichu. Eelektross. Jolteon having Air Balloon in which has Roar, Toxic, and Wish.

Can people be banned for that type of behavior?

Please tell me yes.

I kinda say "Yes" because he was being very insaulting, but I kinda say "No", because that's just..... a little overlooked.

Thats Red's team.
 
Quick Claw Toxic Arcanine.

What?

Same guy kept trying to defend me questioning his choice of Quick Claw. I mean..Arcanine isn't THAT slow..
Did I mention he had ExtremeSpeed? He had ExtremeSpeed.

Oh and Blizzard/Fire Blast Poison Point Nidoqueen.

Victini's not bad. I use it in OU all the time. Fucker gets V-Create and Bolt Strike, hits like a goddamn truck.

People using Kangaskhan in tiers lower then Ubers make me giggle.
Click to expand...

"Victini's not bad" UNDERSTATEMENT ALERT!

Pair him with Char-Y. Banded V-create under even just one turn of sun will kill nigh everything.
 
Bottom Ladder Shenanigans I:

- Giga Drain/Clear Smog Gengar
- Swords Dance... Venusaur(with only Petal Blizzard to use those boosts)
- Person using the above not knowing what a Mandibuzz is
- Arbok using coil against my Mandibuzz... at 8% of its health
- Psychic/Petal Blizzard/Attract Florges
- Watch as some of OU's most prominent threats fall to SubSeed Whimsicott: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-99407090
- Sitrus Berry Starmie w/ Psyshock over Ice Beam(I guess its an option)
- Mega Charizard X with... Acrobatics
- Switching in Kyurem to +2 Ditto(in the form of said Mega Charizard X) when Choice-locked into Dragon Claw
- Muscle Band Dragonite
- Dragon Tail Char-Y
- A team consisting of just Jolteon and Pinsir

100 SpA Haxorus Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Eviolite Magikarp: 123-145 (50.4 - 59.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Magikarp Bounce vs. 116 HP / 60 Def Haxorus: 35-42 (10.8 - 13%) -- possible 8HKO

It beats magikarp 1v1, what more can you ask for?

Concerning the "Victini is silly in OU comment"

252 Atk Victini V-create vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Azumarill in Sun: 221-261 (54.7 - 64.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Victini V-create vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Rhyperior in Sun: 147-173 (33.8 - 39.8%) -- 27.4% chance to 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Victini V-create vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Dragonite in Sun: 192-227 (59.2 - 70%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock (assuming broken Multiscale after hazard damage)
252 Atk Victini V-create vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Goodra in Sun: 246-290 (64 - 75.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Victini V-create vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Manaphy in Sun: 183-216 (53.6 - 63.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Victini V-create vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Rotom-W in Sun: 174-204 (57.2 - 67.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Keep in mind that these are all bulky resists, yet are still cleanly 2HKOed through hazards, with the exception of Rhyperior which still takes at least 33% damage and has no reliable recovery.

ON-TOPIC EDIT: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-99439734 -- Timburr, Air Balloon HP Electric Latias, Energy Ball Breloom...

EDIT 2: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oususpecttest-99443354 -- Dark Pulse Bisharp, Earth Power Gliscor, and non-mega Charizard.

So on my alt, I was at near the bottom of the ladder when I ran into this: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-98669989
Highlights:
-Brick Break Dragonite lead
-Facade Porygon-Z (I really don't know why- was he just anticipating a status?)
-Life Orb Blissey
Click to expand...
You laugh, but Banded Porygon-Z was legit in UU last gen since it could lure in and actually break through Chansey
252 Atk Choice Band Adaptability Porygon-Z Double-Edge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 374-442 (53.1 - 62.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Facade... I guess it works in a similar manner? Not exactly optimal, but not a god-awful idea since the eggs do love their Toxic spam
252 Atk Choice Band Adaptability Porygon-Z Facade (140 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 438-516 (62.2 - 73.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Also, all three of the things you posted got kills on you, so.... yeah.

Now, if you had talked about the Confuse Ray Banette....

Random Shit volume 56: March Madness Edition
-Marowak attempting Focus Punch without a sub, and against Ice Fang normal Gyarados.
-Absorb Bulb Mienshao getting outsped by said Gyarados.
-Ice Punch Froslass.
-Well, this is awkward: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-99415962
-Ambipom and Snorlax being intended victims of Shadow Ball.
-Avalanche Blissey.
-Fake Out only works your first turn out. Some people just don't get that, apparently.
-Of course Gardevoir is a good switch in to Aegislash. It's not like you're going to take a +2 Shadow Sneak, right? Right...?
-Ivysaur. It then used Sleep Powder on an already poisoned Breloom.
-Energy Ball Ferrothorn.
-Baton Passing +6 SpA to... Heracross.
-Outrage Y-zard. It also had both Flamethrower and Fire Blast.
-Wish Gardevoir. It has 68 base HP. Your call.
-Iron Head+Fire Blast+Hydro Pump+Outrage Gyarados.
-Sableye Taunting itself (it failed to understand what Magic Bounce does).
-Ferrothorn coming in after your Cloyster broke its shell? Better switch. (You'd still win 1-on-1.)
-Since when is Cloyster a snake? http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-99414217
-Too accurate of an Ash team, alas (except X-zard, of course). But dat Squirtle: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-99414434
-Throh.
-Two separate Torrent Greninja with Toxic Spikes, one of which set up on a Moxiemence sweep.
-Mixed normal Manectric.
-Dark Pulse Gyarados. Now that's a new one.
-Giga Impact CHANSEY.
-Corsola.
-Non-Multiscale Dragonite with Power-Up Punch.
-A battle where damn near everything on both teams had Rock Slide. Not that it's a bad move, just that it was on everything.
-Snorlax using Giga Impact on Skarmory. And the best part? It missed. It later used a (marginally) better move on Skarmory: Thunder.
-Dragon Pulse Sceptile.

Don't fuck with dragon pulse sceptile, or throh. The rest is bad, though.

EDIT: Froslass has base 80 attack along with base 80 sp attack, ice punch is not so bad.

Click to expand...

Well yeah the Confuse Ray Bannette was a thing but to respond to your criticism: 1: The Porygon-Z wasn't banded. My opponent blindly clicked Facade in hopes that he'd get burned, but he had no way of actually triggering the effect. 2: I wasn't neccesarily playing to win, I was playing to sack Steelix in the beginning (I considered Rocks and Toxic damage more important on Dnite then keeping Steelix alive; if I wanted it alive I would have swapped straight to Tentacruel and then out to Lando to see if he packed the EQ), with the Blissey I have an affinity for using Knock Off on the pink blobs although admittedly I should have mega evolved right there and forced him out (but I wanted the blob dead more than anything so I sacked Lando on the bet that I'd be able to knock it out there and then). After he showed the LO, I stayed in, got a switch to Ttar who I then felt more comfortable with (he had his Infernape in the back the whole time). I assumed at the time that he didn't like swag play and so used Confuse Ray instead. Really though, had I played smarter the game would have looked more impressive but I think it would have been less fun for myself.
