Random Shit: Halfway Through 2014 Edition
-Someone either unable or refusing to mega evolve his Mawile.
-Aqua Jet Floatzel (GGF) with a FLAME ORB. It had Switcheroo, but didn't use it before burning itself. Also, Floatzel.
-Dusknoir.
-Rhydon.
-M-Mawile using FPWS (Focus Punch without Substitute, an acronym I shall use going forward). And actually succeeding in tripping a Mamoswine's sash, but that was all it did.
-Donphan.
-Heliolisk (sorry, Hclegend )
-Said Heliolisk using Volt Switch on said Donphan.
-Mismagius using Toxic on Scizor. Twice.
-Dragalge using Toxic on Venusaur.
-Aqua Jet Dragonite. Gotta go not as fast.
-Sludge Bomb Clawitzer.
-Zap Cannon Zapdos.
-Swoobat.
-Ice Beam+Dark Pulse Leftovers Weavile.
-Shuckle vs. the world. And by the world, I mean a clearly unfazed M-Blastoise: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-136562864
-NU team vs. mono Fire, spoiled by rampant Barbaracle: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-136562139
-A second Beedrill (i.e., not the one in the previous battle). Bonus: this one had Sunny Day.
-Magmortar. And it used Will-o-Wisp on CONKELDURR.
-Air Balloon Eelektross. Because Mold Breaker.
-Another possible NU team, this one featuring Meditite. And it won: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-136558690
-Okay then: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-136561255
-Superpower Deoxys-D. It worked. Sort of. Got Bisharp down to 7%, only to get obliterated by Knock Off.
 
- GeoXern with Geomancy/DAZZLING GLEAM/Focus Blast/HORN LEECH. It also didn't have a Power Herb.
- Quick Attack Terrakion. Gotta go fast.
- Choice Scarf Weavile. Gotta go faster.
- Assault Vest Charizard.
- Grass Pledge + Absorb Sceptile.
- Leftovers Chansey.
- Hidden Power Grass + Flamethrower Entei, holding a SITRUS BERRY
- Deoxys-D trying to set up on Xatu.
- Life Orb Blissey.
- Non-Speed Boost Scolipede.

Quick Attack is legit on Terrakion.

Mawile is somewhat salvageable in NU maybe
-Aqua Jet Floatzel (GGF) with a FLAME ORB. It had Switcheroo, but didn't use it before burning itself. Also, Floatzel.
Eh, Aqua Jet is somewhat understandable. Flame Orb and not using Switcharoo first turn...
-Dusknoir.
lol, this ain't gen 4
-Rhydon.
I've heard that Eviolite Rhydon is bulky as hell at least it wasn't Rhyhorn
-M-Mawile using FPWS (Focus Punch without Substitute, an acronym I shall use going forward). And actually succeeding in tripping a Mamoswine's sash, but that was all it did.
If you're gonna run FP MM, run it with Sub FFS
-Donphan.
but he's good in UU!
-Heliolisk (sorry, Hclegend )
*twitches*
In all seriousness, if it was Galvantula or Ambipom, you'd have a reason to apologise

-Said Heliolisk using Volt Switch on said Donphan.
HOW DO I TYPE MATCHUP
-Mismagius using Toxic on Scizor. Twice.
You forgot Mismagius in OU
-Dragalge using Toxic on Venusaur.
And Dragalge in OU
Okay, I'll stop beating a dead Horsea

-Aqua Jet Dragonite. Gotta go not as fast.
Gotta go fuck up Rock types
-Sludge Bomb Clawitzer.
Becuase fuck Faries!
-Zap Cannon Zapdos.
It has the word Zap in
-Swoobat.
Something something Rouge the Bat without cleavage
-Ice Beam+Dark Pulse Leftovers Weavile.
Off stat Weaviles new meta
-Shuckle vs. the world. And by the world, I mean a clearly unfazed M-Blastoise: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-136562864

I know! I'll increase the power of my weakness! That'll show them Fire types! It's Wart all over again
-Magmortar. And it used Will-o-Wisp on CONKELDURR.
Guts much?
-Air Balloon Eelektross. Because Mold Breaker.
Air Balloon Rotom-Spin, because double immunity isn't enough
-Another possible NU team, this one featuring Meditite. And it won: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-136558690

-Superpower Deoxys-D. It worked. Sort of. Got Bisharp down to 7%, only to get obliterated by Knock Off.
That's actually decent. Some Deo-D do run Superpower along with a few Attack Evs in order to kill Bisharp
comments in bold, you know the (Exca)drill
Still don't get the Helioisk thing
Edit: yay for completely fucking up on spelling Horsesea Horsea!

Not the silliest, but:
- What looked like offensive Carbink
- Focus Band + Rest Archeops
- About Gatr, he never revealed what set it is, so I don't know.
- Berry Juice Tropius (Berry Juice isn't a berry stupid)
- I'm not sure if Barrier Avalugg is legit, but it's still kind of stupid.
- Pyroar looked okay though

(I'm OhMyBug, and the team I used is meant for the current Research Week (Half of my team is Research Week "suspects"))
 
Has nobody thought of Apicot Berry Natural Gift Talonflame? Fuck Heatran!

252+ Atk Apicot Berry Talonflame Natural Gift (100 BP Ground) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 336-396 (87 - 102.5%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO

so, my good friend has been sort of on the fence about jumping into the magical world of showdown. in an effort to prove that the ladder is hilariously easy, we rolled up an alt together using a mono-bird (not mono-flying, mono-bird.) team just to see how far we could get.

it's been about 1 hour of playtime total (not counting AFK time) and as of the time of me writing this we're at 1200 and rising. the low ladder has been an adventure so far. (yes, there are some misplays by my friend that are probably also thread-worthy.)

-FPWS (stealing this term from michaeloche) timburr, golett, roggenrola
-ends in a forfeit after timburr fails to dent skarmory

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-136592663
-zapdos will not stand for this level 1 sturdy bullshit

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-136654898
WhyteFury68: flying monotype
WhyteFury68: I have a water and ghost
-there wasn't a single ghost type on his team
-also, dem non-mega kanto starters

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-136660817
-this guy was trying to emulate the entrainment durant replay and took 8 whole turns to realize the fatal flaw in his plan: earthquake spam doesn't work so well on a team of flying types.

This man's Pokemon were at Level 50...

This had me literally on the floor laughing at one point. Most of his tactics looked good though there might be a few that were questionable, such as special mega Manectric. One stupid thing he did was keeping on using stealth rocks on a scarfed Smeargle while I was Ddancing. But the real meat? Not only did he use Darmanitan in OU, but it used Flame Charge of all things! Not only that but it survived my DNite's attack, and activated Zen Mode! At that point I was laughing my head off. I guess flame charge makes Darmanitan-Z faster, but it's still really gimmicky, and there's no conceivable reason to use Darmanitan-Z over the original forme. I accidentally used Ddance and got my Dragonite killed because I was still laughing at that point, and Ddance looked similar to Dragon Claw.
 
22nd Round of silly replays: µ's Edition

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-136431128
Team A:
  • Landorus-T using Earthquake against Air Balloon Ninetales. TWICE. (maybe Scarfed and he didn't notice that?)
  • Cinccino.
Team B: Level 50 team, with the following gems...
  • Hypnosis + Heat Wave Ninetales. Don't cry if these moves miss during crucial moments.
  • Sableye using Will-O-Wisp against Talonflame.
  • Defensive non-Mega Aggron without Leftovers. (Gyarados is better than Aggron as a non-Mega)
Wait

Turn 9

The opposing Sableye used Will-O-Wisp!
But it failed!

Talonflame used Brave Bird!
The opposing Sableye lost 100% of its health!
Talonflame is damaged by recoil!

How did that Sableye outspeed? Flame body Talonflame?

How is Special Mega Manectric "questionable" when M-Manectric is based on a speedy Special Attacker?
More importantly, why does that quote come up as quoting me. I even got the alert and everything. WHAT SORCERY IS THIS TYRANITARKNIGHT
 
If you look at OU's 0.0 stats for last month, you'll notice that 6.549% of Talonflames ran Flame Body. It basically accounts for everyone who forgets to switch the ability to Gale Wings, or the people who don't really get the whole competitive thing. So yeah that's why sableye's WoW outsped lawl

Dang, I didn't notice that on first sight.
