Silly Things You've Seen In Other Metagames

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-231420684
Left side:
  • Leftovers Charizard who got some burn hax with Flare Blitz. It also used Crunch.
  • Leftovers Lucario.
  • Special Inner Focus* Dragonite who Roosted instead of finishing off Mega Blastoise with Thunderbolt just after its Light Screen expired. Its trainer then went AFK, giving his opponent the victory.
Right side: Surprising dual screens Light Clay Metagross which allowed Mega Blastoise to stomach strong hits and wreck its opponents.
*Mega Blastoise was defensive, as Lucario barely survived its Scald after using Close Combat.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-231422032
Left side:
  • Torterra.
  • Mega Alakazam using Shadow Ball against a Darkrai when there aren't any apparent Ghost weaknesses in the enemy side.
  • Non-Mega Altaria.
  • Blizzard Kyurem-B without hail support.
  • Walrein with Blizzard (again?), Ice Beam and Dive.
Right side:
  • Drain Punch Darkrai. Worse, it used this move several times on resists (especially on Alakazam, when a Dark Pulse would have beaten it).
  • Close Combat + Focus Blast Lucario, the latter being used on Altaria (honestly, lots of typechart issues here).
  • Moonblast + Dazzling Gleam + Hidden Power Ice Xerneas.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-231424517
Left side:
  • Level 1 Sturdy(Nose)pass.
  • Another non-Mega Charizard who got lucky with burns (see first replay) on Rotom-W, but not on Dragonite.
  • Electivire.
  • Forfeits when his (presumably non-Mega) Blastoise froze his opponent's Weakness Policy Dragonite. Either he got IRL issues or, despite that freezehax, he feared the possibility of a Dragonite sweep.
Right side:
  • Tangela, certainly his anti-FEAR weapon.
 
On the 1v1 ladder.

I sent out mega charizard y. he sends out azumarill. I used Solarbeam on him. Little did I know I was about to get wrecked by the newest of metas


Charizard Mega evolved into Mega Charizard Y! Charizard used Solarbeam! Azumarill's Sap Sipper raised it's Attack!
Azumarill used Hidden Power! It's super effective! Charizard
lost 100% of it's health! Charizard fainted!

Later on, he told me it was specs hp rock. This is just so next level, I don't even know if it should go in this thread or not....
 
Even if it wasn't specs HP Rock, it's still a bad idea to use Grass moves on Azumarill. One of its main niches in 1v1 is being a decently bulky Perish Song user with superb defensive typing and an ability that bolsters said defensive typing even further. Granted, it could have been Huge Power, but it lives Solar Beam anyway in that scenario.

Someone got lucky.

Well, not always.

So this isn't such a nitpicky post:

Meet Belly Drum Walrein, the new (with webs support) PU meta.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-231483076
Minimize Chansey, Electivire, Sandstorm non-mega Steelix... welcome to AG.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-231480770
5 mon team based around BP chain to Bidoof. Also featuring Blood Totem (Sigilyph), several type chart issues (although some were probably intentional to aviod Destiny Bond), and Bidoof guy winning only because of Drifblim's Aftermath activating, killing Infernape.
 
I think I saw a Darkrai (in AG) with event Spacial Rend before... I forgot the rest of it's moves, but apparently it used Spacial Rend on a Steel-type where Dark Pulse would have been neutral.

That feel when I was using Ice Beam on Steelceus.
I wasn't too linked in gen 6 yet since I don't have a 3ds so i forgot dark was regularly effective and was hoping for a freeze.

The replay was from November.

That comeback though.
 
(R) Steel mono, since this player is playing the part of a Gym leader. We've got Empoleon, Excadrill, Mega Aggron, Heatran, Ferrothorn...good, good, good, good, good...Durant? Um, Scizor much? (I assume the typing is the draw here, although Scizor is also a better physical wall and physical attacker.)
Durant has some quite useful advantages to it over Scizor, notably it's higher base Speed and Hustle. Scizor is not the only Bug/Steel Pokemon around...

The low ladder troll team returns! http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-231498329

Mono talonflame.


http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-231499914

My charizard lost to mega rayquaza? Better forfeit.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-231501664

Mono belly drum team. Vs my team that packs a DITTO.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-231505957

Silly OU player. This is AG! But seriously, this was like one of the only teams I've seen so far that looked even remotely competent. It even had an answer to swagplay. Unfortunately, lord noivern gave rotom some specs, ruining his plans. Enter mega rayquaza.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-231752367

A silly stallfest featuring: Sitrus berry delphox with future sight.

Milotic with confuse ray and a... Maranga berry? Not to mention magic coat.

Klefkey missing swagger not once, not twice, but THREE times, all of those being rather important misses for both him and me.

Swords dance+last resort sawsbuck.

Baton pass to specs noivern? Better forfeit even though I have rypherior.(yes I know he would've lost anyways, but still)


http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-231820268

What's funny here? The team is competent!
 
Random Shit: Weird Weather Edition

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/doublesubers-232167158
Not sure if Doubles Ubers is fair game for this thread, but there's Origin Pulse Kyogre not realizing what Storm Drain does, non-Speed Boost Scolipede, type chart issues, and Sitrus Berries everywhere, among other things.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/triplescustomgame-232165939
Same team as above in Triples this time. And more stupid stuff, like using Water moves under Desolate Land (by both players), Torrent Greninja with Aerial Ace, Blizzard Darkrai, and Torterra.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-232165363
Four Cloysters and two Primal Groudons vs. non-mega Lucario and friends.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-232166249
Confuse Ray Murkrow new meta. No really, it beat a 1700+ Elo player.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-232163628
A lone Protect Mega Kangaskhan beats a team with 3 FEAR mons and Dig Garchomp.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-232165400
Tri Attack Quick Claw Togetic, Quick Claw offensive Carbink (gotta abuse those base 50 attacking stats) that Psychiced a Drapion, and mixed attacking Granbull.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/2v2doubles-232171876
Rain Dance Air Balloon Manectric. Politoed much?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-232168977
Not really sure what that Hippopotas was doing here. Also, Darkrai ends up betraying its own FEAR Aron (which, earlier, Jellicent tried to Toxic).

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/classichackmons-232171638
Only two mons on one team. Nothing had good sets, but that Iceceus takes the cake.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-232168621
Mean Look+Confuse Ray Red Card Sableye, Night Slash Focus Band Aegislash, Nidoking Sludge Waving said Aegislash, and Curse+Venoshock Muk.
