Other Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder: V2

Random Shit volume 118: 4 Hour Drive, 10 Minute Interview Edition
-Two Azumarill using Aqua Jet against each other. One did 13.4%. The other did 31.2% on a crit. Hmm...
-Using Trick Room when the opponent had Ferrothorn out.
-Amoonguss using both Spore and Giga Drain on M-Venusaur. You can probably guess how that turned out.
-Switching Azumarill into an obvious Sludge Bomb.
-Throh.
-Whiscash.
-Head Smash Tyrantrum. Rock Head when?
-Rotom-W using Volt Switch on Gliscor.
-Gliscor responding by using EQ.
-Gliscor guy said GG when his opponent was down to Rotom-W and Garchomp, only to forfeit about 40 turns later after the ensuing stallfest (the Rotom was ChestoRest).
-Infernape outspeeding Talonflame. That shouldn't be happening: Ape wasn't scarfed, and TF can outspeed it with 252 ev's and Adamant.
-Said TF also had Leftovers.
-Two separate mono electric teams outside of monotype. One of them had Zebstrika.
-Life Orb Solarbeam (no idea if it had Sunny Day) Venusaur somehow outspeeding a Y-zard.
-Dugtrio using EQ on said Y-zard.
-Air Balloon Gyarados. Just no.
-Forretress with what I'm assuming to be Hidden Power Electric.
-Air Balloon Dark Pulse Gengar. Because fuck Mold Breaker Excadrill.
-Noivern doing only 43% to a Ninetales with Draco Meteor. It should be doing ~60% minimum without specs and can OHKO with them. It could have been max SDef Tales, based on the calcs, which is just not that good. And why was he using Ninetales in OU anyway when Y-zard exists?
-Leavanny. Didn't even use Sticky Web, ffs.
-Copycat Lucario.
-Babiri Berry Gardevoir.
-Many issues here: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123472022
-Quick Claw, unknown HP type, Torrent Greninja. Bonus: Quick Claw activated twice against Ferrothorn.
-Lock-On+Zap Cannon Magnezone. Not awful, but it has better things to be doing.
-Sitrus Berry Blissey. Ever heard of Soft-Boiled? Or even Wish?
-Play Rough Klefki. That's a new one.
-I understand some unexpected stuff is hard to deal with. But why did it take this long to deal with this one? And that's not all: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123469510
 
-Rotom-W using Volt Switch on Gliscor.
-Infernape outspeeding Talonflame. That shouldn't be happening: Ape wasn't scarfed, and TF can outspeed it with 252 ev's and Adamant.
-Said TF also had Leftovers.
-Life Orb Solarbeam (no idea if it had Sunny Day) Venusaur somehow outspeeding a Y-zard.

Gliscor shouldn't be staying in on Rotom-W, so it was probably predicting a switch.
Last time I checked Talonflame only runs enough Speed EVs to outspeed Jolly Mega Pinsir, so Infernape outspeeding isn't that silly. Also it might have been a Bulk Up set if it had Lefties.
Venusaur has Chlorophyll.
 
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-123498142
- Nothing on his team is good .-.
- Mega Punch/Zen Headbutt Blastoise
- Brick Break Electivire
- Any Electivire.
- Poison Point Nidoking
- Nidoking in general.
- Torterra in general.
- Ice Beam Snorlax.
- Do i need to say what his charizard set is? Just imagine it, then watch the battle.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-123502146
- Arcanine in general.
- Braviary in general.
- Id assume Goodra isnt used in ubers, either.

Two gems from earlier.

Well, that TF had SD, so idk.
edit: too many abbreviations
 
You know you are allowing yourself to get too low on the ladder when you meet a gen 1 only, mono-flying team.

Mega Charizard Y, Gyarados, Dragonite, Golbat, Aerodactyl, and Scyther.

Fun thing is that the guy was using perfectly optimal movesets. I almost got swept by the Dragonite. And it was at the 1400s. It was literally a skilled player who tried to get high in the ladder with, let me repeat, a mono-flying, gen 1 only team.

Now Contrary Shellsmash Shuckle with Lagging Tail.

12th Round of silly replays: Afu... Edition

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123507043
  • Togekiss vs. Togekiss start. Well, one of them had to win the paraflinch war.
  • The opposing Bisharp used Knock Off!
    It's not very effective... Togekiss lost 22.5% of its health!
    The opposing Bisharp knocked off Togekiss's Razor Claw!

  • Cross Poison Gliscor.
  • Trevenant's Horn Leech dealing 81% damage to Blissey. Even with 252 EVs, a CB and Adamant nature, it wouldn't have removed more than 59% to a 4 HP / 252 Def Bold Blissey. Something is weird...
  • Heat Wave Ninetales.
  • Bellossom. I see, this is a Sun team. But there are better choices as a Chlorophyll sweeper.
  • And this match ended in a tie.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123518315
One of them seems to have clicked the wrong tier.
  • Darmanitan spamming Flare Blitz against Kingdra. It's 4x resistant to Fire, you know.
  • Said Kingdra had Dragon Dance, Waterfall, Protect and... Focus Energy, with Leftovers. Not enough for 100% crits and good luck vs Water Absorb / Dry Skin Pokémon.
  • Speaking of Dry Skin, why hasn't Toxicroak been switched in after figuring out Kingdra's set (turn 13)? Well, it's a misplay, but the player forfeited after losing his Umbreon.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123521934
Team A: Eeveelution team. A few gems, though...
  • Attract + Thunder Jolteon.
  • Fire Blast Flareon.
  • Zen Headbutt + Psychic + Rest Espeon.
  • Moonblast Sylveon.
Team B: Avengers, Assemble! Featuring...
  • Machoke (Captain America) with Body Slam, Poison Jab and holding Berry Juice.
  • Bisharp (probably Iron Man) with Dual Chop.
  • Conkeldurr (Hulk) with Earthquake. At least it's useful for Aegislash.
  • Archeops (Hawkeye) with Aqua Tail.
And the bonus... Choice Specs Crawdaunt sweep!

This probably isn't half as weird as some of things the more experienced people in the lower ladders see, but it stands out to me.

I saw a leftovers, earthquake chansey. I am not sure what EQ was for but it still does only ~25% to heatran.

252 Atk Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 44-52 (12.9 - 15.2%) -- possible 7HKO <-- First one

252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Aqua Jet vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Azumarill on a critical hit: 108-128 (31.6 - 37.5%) -- 89.9% chance to 3HKO <-- second one

Second one is Adamant, Choice band. First one is Jolly, no boost item. Neither invested in bulk at all. Seems plausible.

Someone's almost certainly in the wrong tier, but turn 10 really puts their teambuilding skills into question

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123765275
Quick Claw Greninja, X-scissor Skarmory and Ninetales without any sun abusers. Also Flame Orb Facade Staraptor

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123768029
Arrogance leads to letting your Scolipede getting taunted and using Dragon Tail on a Togekiss

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123769127
Almost normal-mono team against a more normal looking team with a few misplays and a flinchax on an undeserving Alakazam

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123773362
There's a reason Blue isn't the champion any more

And this hour's grand finale!
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-123776687
Lots of things wrong here.
