Garchomp used Outrage!
The opposing Thundurus-Therian lost 72% of its health!
The opposing Thundurus-Therian ate its Aguav Berry!
The opposing Thundurus-Therian restored HP using its Aguav Berry!
The opposing Thundurus-Therian became confused!
The opposing Thundurus-Therian is confused!
It hurt itself in its confusion!

And that is why you don't use Aguav Berry. Especially not on something that has what I'm assuming to be a Naive nature. (that also likely means mixed Thundy-T, ffs)
 
Random Shit: Stupid Berries That Shouldn't Exist Edition
-Eelektross. Marginally better than Electivire.
-Rampardos.
-Wailord. With Icy Wind, which at least has some utility.
-There's a Lucario spamming HJK. Better bring in Heatran.
-There are still people using Ninjask.
-Greninja using Extrasensory on Umbreon.
-Scizor using Roost at full HP.
-Teeter Dance Meloetta.
-Stealth Rock+Explosion Metagross.
-Someone making fun of his opponent for running Scald on Vaporeon. Um...
-A team of Scolipede, Zapdos, Smeargle, Vaporeon, Espeon, and Sylveon, but no Baton Pass.
-Pidgeot.
-Carbink.
-What I'm assuming to be Bright Powder Volcarona. And it ended up being clutch, protecting it from what would have been a lethal EQ.
-Not just Tauros at all, but Intimidate Tauros.
-WP+Cotton Guard Altaria.
-His opponent repeatedly sending physical attackers at it, when he had Noivern.
-Ironically, when he did bring Noivern out, the Altaria guy just had Garchomp and X-zard left in reserve. Dragon Pulse did the rest.
-A team with Lickilicky, Ursaring, Sandslash, and DELIBIRD. Never mind, Showderp.
-Aguav Berry Skarmory. It just got knocked off.
-Aegislash using Shadow Sneak on Linoone. Twice. And then Linoone killed it with Seed Bomb.
-Stockpile+BP M-Mawile.
-Iron Head Scizor.

So... digging up the name "Bacon Palmer" and looking for replays produces this result:

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-125207869

Zap Cannon Klinglang
Giga Drain, Gunk Shot, Metronome Mew
Psychic Volcarona
He let Volcy die, and then brought out Hitmontop to suffer the same exact fate. :'(
Non Mega Manectric + Politoed
All in Ubers

That was pretty bad. He also didn't seem to understand how Protean works, given his use of Giga Drain on Greninja. Don't knock Psychic on Volcarona too hard, though; it's generally the best non-HP coverage move you can give it (and, in a very niche way is the only way Volcarona is going to get past a healthy Tentacruel).
 
I just saw a Pinsir that was running Hyper Cutter as its pre-mega evolution Ability as opposed to its two other far superior Abilities. My Scarf Lando's Intimidate didn't work but I still got the KO with Stone Edge.

I kicked myself after watching this replay. For whatever reason I didn't realize the Excadrill's item was a burst balloon so I was playing around it all match as if it was Scarfed. Got the win anyway despite playing at a mental disadvantage.
 
OK I wish I had a replay for this (the server was down) but I just fought a guy who was using offensive Deo-D. The best part about this is that this isn't the only time I've seen this either, and the last time I saw it it was the same set (which is to say I only saw him use Dark Pulse before getting KOed). Is this some sort of obscure set I haven't heard of or something? I was in the upper 1300's when I saw this, so its not even bottom-of-the-ladder noob stuff.

Too bad Deoxys doesn't get Stored Power. I could see a bulky set with Cosmic Power and Stored Power. Like a less powerful, status-prone, but bulkier Sigilyph.

It has USABLE offenses...but usable =/= good
 
I've seen Nasty Plot Deo-D before (which is just a terrible idea. Calm Mind, maybe, but Nasty Plot is just stupid) but never all-out attacker sets. Offensive Deo-D in general is bad in my opinion when other Calm Mind sweepers like Reuniclus exist (anyone ever tried Calm Mind Slowbro?). Even as far as Nasty Plot sweepers go you've got Azelf and Thundurus-T. Use the god damn thing the way it's supposed to be use (Deoxys-DEFENSE) or don't use it at all.

That's actually why you might see Hyper Cutter Pinsir, to prevent those shenanigans. Of course, none of those three abilities do it any good once it does go mega.

Edit: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-127490696
Why didn't he just bring in Tyranitar? (Also, one guy had Gurdurr.)

Edit 2: Diggersby taking ~70% from a +3 E-speed from Dragonite.

Edit 3: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-127490067
Someone obviously does not know how to deal with Medicham. Never mind the random non-OU mons.

Edit 4: Someone using an X-zard set with normal Zard. It was DD/Roost/Flare Blitz/Dragon Rush. At least the guy managed to put Hone Claws on his Dragon Rush Garchomp. Which was mega.

Calm Mind Volcarona, after all, it's not like he gets Quiver Dance or something
The same Volcarona using Flare Blitz. Hey guys, gotta make use of those 60 base Attack status, it's not standing there for nothing
Mega Charizard Y with Dragon Pulse, i know it's a viable move so you don't get walled by dragons but, who runs that again?
The same Charizard using Rest, who needs Roost right?
There are other silly things here, but i'm being lazy to type everything you should probably see by yourself:
