Silly Things You've Seen In Other Metagames

TGIF. Let's see what we have today.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-420022274
Eeveelution team easily defeats incompetent opposition.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-420024053
Infernape cleans house. Also starring Rock Tomb Mega Blaziken, Gyro Ball Torkoal, and more.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-420024783
Another Eeveelution team, this time running in fear from an all-Ditto team.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-420023692
Grass mono, forfeiting without making a move against Darkrai.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-420020508
Offensive Lugia, Pressure Ho-Oh, Genesect-Chill putting in work, and more.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-420027510
Metronome Mewtwo team vs. itemless Ditto team.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-420022928
Poison Touch Toxicroak, a barely competent Donphan, and non-primal Kyogre highlight this one.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-420026176
Someone needs to predict Taunt better.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-420027309
Greninja falls victim to hax, and not just because it was facing Togekiss.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-420022160
Metromone Mewtwo guy returns, this time against a team with Duskull and Ralts, which are awful in LC, never mind AG.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-420023955
Ash team wins thanks to wonky sets and bad plays by his opponent.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-420025509
You know a battle will not end well when the lead matchup is Magikarp vs. Onix.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/1v1-420035080
Left apparently failed to realize Deoxys-D is completely shut down by Mega Sableye. Especially when Toxic gets bounced back.
 
I log on to showdown in the middle of a break from class... and see this.

[18:50:25] zenmodeman: I also wanted to run a toxic orb facade set with magic guard; not the best, but some fun
[18:50:45] Anna says hi: for some reason i found a 0 KG parasect in pokemon go
[18:50:49] the**poke**deity: well, guess all the hackmons players are hiding from me with their mommies or dead...
[18:51:00] BlueFraust784: Hey!
[18:51:06] son of the nest: Anna school this fool
[18:51:10] son of the nest: Please?
[18:51:11] BlueFraust784: you better respect those deceased Hackmons players
[18:51:15] zenmodeman: any suggestions for good HP tanks to use on my reuniclus team that can use recover while still hitting hard with magic guard life orb?
[18:51:16] BlueFraust784: they died for a noble cause

For some reason, I thought I had ended up in the QDB thread for a while there.

Anyway, I would like to know why your opponent had Leftovers Chansey.
 
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogontriples-423589197
The Sturdinja-outside-of-BH gimmick is attempted and, thanks to focused attacks, fails hard.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-423587312
Left fails to live up to his username. Highlights include suicide lead Sandstorm Geodude, CM+Geomancy Xerneas without a Power Herb, and Aegislash using Shadow Sneak on Kangaskhan.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-423586824
Setup mons meet BP, lasting 16 turns before a crit happens.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-423586056
UU team on the left, and I have no idea what's on the right.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-423594470
Charizard uses Dragon Claw before mega evolving (into X, at least) against an Ash team.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-423596799
Magic Coat spam gets Will-o-Wisp to stick on the fourth attempt (two misses, one Lum Berry), and then the Magic Coat player inexplicably forfeits.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-423589583
Knock Off+Payback Throh, and an interesting (but in a good way, for a change) Hawlucha set.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogontriples-423591522
You'd think that a team with Metagross would have less trouble with Clefable than this. Other weird sets include Iron Tail+Giga Impact+Thunder Heliolisk, Bounce Torrent Greninja, and Leaf Storm+Leaf Blade non-mega Sceptile.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-423589686
More BP, this time against a team with Regigigas, Synchronize Espeon, and more.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-423593403
Turn 1 is just the tip of the iceberg.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-423595188
3 mons on one side, genwunner who can't deal with Rhyperior (despite the presence of Vaporeon on his team) on the other.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-423593422
Oh gods, left's team... Right doesn't play much better.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-423582805
Left is in the wrong OM. Right has AV Noivern.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/galactic-1v1-3000
Wrong berry, numbnuts.

Click to expand...

(L) Eevee.
(L) Eevee with presumably HP Dark (super-effective on Mew).
(R) Offensive Mew with a set of Aura Sphere (okay)/Super Fang (huh?)/Brine (HUH?)
(L) Skiddo.
(L) SunnyBeam/Energy Ball Skiddo with a Helmet. And somehow it 1v1s Mew, who tries to cherry-tap it with Brine...resisted and sun-weakened. 8%.
(L) Sunflora. It does have Leaf Storm and presumably Chlorophyll, but it gets one turn of sun--and base 30 means the Meloetta facing it still outspeeds.
(R) Meloetta is actually competent (and able to sweep), running Psychic/Shadow Ball/Focus Blast, but then opts for Thunder, which whiffs twice.
(L) Ariados with Infestation. It can hit things, you know, and what is Sucker Punch or X-Scissor?
(R) Melo uses Shadow Ball on Umbreon when Focus Blast (if it hits of course) sends it to oblivion. To be fair, it gets the SpD drop, and then whiffs the next Focus Blast. That's three missed 70% moves in four attempts, which is horrendous luck.
(L) Yawn/Dark Pulse/Dream Eater/Iron Tail Umbreon. Huh?
(R) Arceus-Electric running Judgment, when Thunderbolt trades 5 BP for more PP and the paralysis chance.
(L) Scraggy.
(L) Faint Attack/Roar Scraggy. What is Knock Off (or Crunch)?
(R) Today I learned Zekrom gets Crunch. Probably not a good idea to use it against a 4x resist, though. Oh, and it has a Quick Claw.
(R) ★GummyGodzilla:Had I used my Mewtwo first your entire team would likely be dead where they stand. So maybe you should have led with Mewtwo!
 
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-425468445
Overwatch themed team with Torrent Greninja, among other things, on the left, Drain Punch+Power-up Punch Deoxys-D and friends on the right.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-425463246
Vigoroth with a weird set, Ancient Power Mega Aerodactyl, and more.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-425469528
Ninjask BP'ing to Deoxys-A, leading to a sweep thanks to bad opposition.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-425469904
What is even going on here...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-425455947
It's not every day you have to PP stall against a 5 mon team. Especially one that has Deoxys-N on it.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-425466523
Drain Punch Audino, GeoXern with Close Combat, Aurorus, and more.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-425464842
That's not how Mega Mawile works.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-425466554
(R) Psyshock Metagross.
(L) Switcheroo Klefki with who knows what item.
(R) Fire Blast Mega Charizard X.
(L) Mixed Kingdra. Also, Kingdra in general.
(R) Blizzard Tyranitar is a thing, but you're better off using Crunch on Kingdra.
(R) Metagross also had Metal Claw.
(L) Overheat+Aerial Ace Arcanine.
(R) Night Slash (Knock Off much?)+Ice Beam Rocky Helmet Weavile.
(R) Unfezant.
(R) Focus Blast Bisharp.

How not to use Sturdinja. (And yes, I know Magic Coat Sturdinja is a thing, but still.)
