Terrible, terrible sets, no items on anything, and poor plays. Someone take this one, please.

[L] Fearow.
[R] Deoxys-D.
[L] Oh, look, a Me- did you just use Transform on a Magikarp
[R] Uses Bounce instead of Hydro Pump.
[L] Does not switch out
[R] Astonish on a Chandelure
[L] Tackle. 1) on a Ghost type 2) When Hydro Pump could've done slightly more damage 3) STILL DOESN'T SWITCH OUT
[L] stop
[L] Nice, a Blaziken! Let's see what it ha-
Blaziken used Solar Beam!
[L] Oh, right. It's also Blaze.
[R] Aqua Tail
[L] Giga Impact / Double Edge/Dream Eater / Blizzard Lugia
[L] Sky Attack Fearow
[R] Switches instead of using King's Shield. You know what, maybe it didn't even have King's Shield.
[R] Mega Kick Deoxys-D.
[L] Of course, Precipice Blades and Double-Edge against Dragonite.
[R] The only redeeming thing about this Dragonite is that it either switches or dies before doing another Draco Meteor.
[L] Clearly doesn't know what type immunites are.
[R] Clear Smog.
[L] Earthquake and Precipice Blades.
[L]... and Flamethrower.
[L] Tries to use said Flamethrower on a Vaporeon.
[R] Doesn't use Aqua Tail and prefers Giga Impact.
[L] Sweeps the rest of the team after snapping out of its confusion. After 28 damn turns.

Dear god, that was horrible.

Horrible movesets by Left, and some don't even have items.

A brave PU team beats an Ash team.

And beats a Guess that Mega as well (hint: they all have mega stones)

Nosepass.

Nosepass, without the trolly set. Someone take this.

So I finally started my foray into Gen 7 OU. I was testing an offensive core, and it worked, to some stretch of the imagination. But before the silly matches resulting of that, here's a very silly one.

Plusle + Shedinja combo gets bodied very hard. Somebody take this.

Now for my own matches.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-481593495
I feel sorry that this person let Tapu Bulu get worn down so easily.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-481602519
One of my failures. Celesteelia is my natural nemesis.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-481612982
And this is where a Parting Shot glitch happens, and saves me from a loss.

[L] Gliscor without poison heal (or at least a toxic orb)
[R] Latios does not have HP fire
[L] Ferrothorn attempts to Thunder wave the poisoned latios
[R] Aegislash having iron head and flash cannon
[L] SHUCKLE ATTEMPTS TO POISON A GENESECT
[R] Ice beam/Blizzard genesect
[L] SHUCKLE ALSO KNOWS EARTHQUAKE AND STONE EDGE
[R] I don't think his pokemon have items since bisharp's knock off did not remove any items

And I think that's it. also some battles here

Smeargle and bidoof

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-481836190
Just Dugtrio and Durant. also a manectric with only electric moves
 
The Gen 7 BH ladder really is something else.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-482069466
Right's team... all Gen 7 non legendary mons, and Hydro Vortex Prismarina.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-482099394
This is simply hilarious on all accounts.

And then... I began my ladder run, only to win every single match with a pretty off the wall team.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-482119055
Dialga was scary... but then it just used Dragon Claw. And then the Mega Ray came in... to spam FACADE.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-482120443
This match looks like a thing with mono-dark, but it gets much more dubious. Someone take this.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-482123312
This is a far less silly opponent than the others, and is mainly on here for the Guzzlord nonsense.

Sableye walls most of a team. Also, Battle Bond apparently prevents Greninja from being statused.
Click to expand...
That's not the only thing wrong with this replay.
[L] Wants to know why he can't use his Pikachu's Z-Move. Judging by the fact that he then fired a Thunderbolt, I'm assuming he either tried to use Catastropika without having Volt Tackle, or was holding a Light Ball rather than Pikachium Z.
[R] Has a Toxic Orb Guts Ursaring when the nerf to Burn damage means Flame Orb is better.
[L] Wants Multi-Attack to hurry up and burn already. Multi-Attack does not have a burn chance, even when Fire-typed.

5 Palossand and a Wailord. A weird Celesteela set, and Steelix forgetting Palossand is Ghost type and using Explosion on it.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-483191637
Well, use those moves on a Blissey and you're going to get walled every time.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-483191209
Illusion Zygarde-Complete is a new one. Also, I don't really see a good use for Sparkling Aria in BH, unless you accidentally burn something you want to Toxic or something.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-483191329
Meanwhile, back in Gen 6, an OU team wins against a team with Avalanche Deoxys-N, which is especially odd considering it also had Extreme Speed, and Calm Mind Darkrai.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankanythinggoes-483197586
Blast Burn Charizard-X, Leftovers Floette, and more.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-483195047
Well, these are some weird sets. Someone take this one.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-483198833
Right's own Psychic Terrain screws him over. Also, a completely unnecessary "!dt barboach" when Barboach isn't even in this battle. Nor is it any good.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-483203998
More Psychic Terrain awareness failure. And much more. Someone take this one, too. And when you do, keep in mind that this is BH.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankanythinggoes-483206352
This is why you don't let Mimikyu set up. It also managed to outspeed both Greninja and Darkrai.

I'll take both of these.

First match:
[L] Using Skitty in any situation, much less in BH. Also, everything else.
[R] Also pretty much everything.
[L] Destiny Bond/Moonblast Skitty.
[R] The Lycanrok falls for it.
[R] Contrary Infernape isn't actually bad.
[L] Special Mega Scizor, however... is incredibly bad. Still beats the Infernape, somehow.
[R] Shedinja uselessly dies against the Scizor.
[R] Smeargle... which is naturally passing boosts. Use something like a Lugia next time.
[L] The Scizor at least reveals Leech Life.
[R] Bad Dreams Yveltal. Though it does have Power Trip to take advantage of the boosts.
[R] Foolishly stopping the sweep to set up some more. That isn't helping anyone.
[L] Dazzling Gleam Mega Alakazam.
[L] Metronome/Spiky Shield Mega Pidgeot.
[R] Swagger/Toxic/Attract Kelfki.
[L] Wins with Heat Crash Wailord when his foe is too foolish to stall with Substitute.

Second Battle:
[L] Magikarp and Zoroark.
[R] Special Katarna with Geomancy. NO.
[R] Rayquaza comes in on a Sylveon, and then uses a Genesis Supernova. Not too bad...
[R] ...Until he follows it up with Geomancy.
[L] The Sylveon lets him, using Hidden Power to not take out the Mega Rayquaza, which lets it use 10,000 Volt Thunderbolt.
[R] It doesn't matter too much in the end, as his own Psychic Terrain renders Rayquaza's Extreme Speed useless.
[L] Thief Zoroark.
[R] Inferno Overdrive/Genesis Supernova Primal Groudon.
[R] ...Who also has Extreme Speed. Which is terrible compared to Double-Edge/Hammer Arm Mega Metagross.
[R] Geomancy Zygarde without a Power Herb. And then it uses Draco Meteor, which is enough of an attack here.
[L] Charizard-X using Flamethrower on this Zygarde.
[L] Water Shuriken Magikarp.

Hail team versus team of dumb nicknames and dumb plays (and a silly team).

A strange Guzzlord set completely shutting down a less strange Solgaleo set.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-484216128
...Yeah, I got nothing. Pretty much everything here is dumb.

It hasn't even been a whole two weeks since SM started and we have one of our worst battle yet
(B): Random NFEs at random low levels
(R): Only four Pokemon
(R): Flame Charge Braixen. Nice base 59 Attack.
(L): Discharge Rotom-N. At least run an appliance form, even with the loss in Speed. Actually, scratch that. Don't run Rotom in BH at all.
(R): Rotom also has Uproar
(R): Trying to use Quick Attack on Rotom

I'm disappointed that we never saw anything of left's except for Rotom
 
Finally got around to playing Gen 7 OU (Pokebank). One battle, I lead with Scarf Genesect, only to encounter an opposing lead of Scarf Intimidate Staraptor. It did 86% with Brave Bird. It would have killed, too, had it been Reckless. No replay of it, unfortunately.

Anyway, have some other stupidity.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankanythinggoes-484663993
Multi-Attack+Ice Beam Silvally-Dragon, Dragon Claw Arceus-Normal, and a Darkrai who hasn't quite gotten a hang of Gen 7 mechanics (or Substitute mechanics) yet. On a side note, Hypnosis Darkrai is no longer a meme.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankanythinggoes-484656328
You know, Rayquaza can use moves that don't lower its stats. Also, Pyukumuku.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-484669864
These sets. The Aegislash in particular is gold. Someone take this one.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-484668287
Z-Splash isn't a meme, either. Of course, it's very high risk, high reward.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankanythinggoes-484670755
Sending in Salamence against a +2 Outrage Arceus-Dragon is just asking for trouble, Intimidate notwithstanding. Shadow Ball Metagross and Guess the Mega are no better. And just like Gen 6, Gen 7 is not safe from the infamous non-mega Charizard.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankanythinggoes-484659802
Shiinotic stalling a bunch of stuff, Toxapex with Protect over Baneful Bunker, and Donald Trump Gumshoos using EQ on Celesteela.

Oh, I have not laughed so hard at a replay in a long while.
[R] Mega Punch Swampert.
[L] Z-Geomancy/Hone Claws/Cotton Guard Tokapex that got flinched from a Waterfall.
[R] And then he sends out a Thunder/Volt Switch Jolteon that takes out Tokapex.
[L] THIS AEGISLASH IS BEAUTIFUL.
The opposing Krookodile used Crunch!
It's super effective! Stat control? lost 63.0% of its health!
Stat control?'s Weakness Policy activated!
Stat control?'s Attack fell harshly! Stat control?'s Special Attack fell harshly!
Stat control? used Heart Swap!

The opposing Krookodile used Power-Up Punch!
It doesn't affect Stat control?...
Stat control? used Topsy-Turvy!
The opposing Krookodile's stat changes were inverted!

The opposing Krookodile used Stone Edge!
It's not very effective... Stat control? lost 21.9% of its health!
Stat control? used Spectral Thief!
Stat control?'s Attack fell harshly! Stat control?'s Special Attack fell harshly!
It's not very effective... The opposing Krookodile lost 5.0% of its health!
Stat control? switched stat changes with its target!
[R] The Krookodile uses Power-Up Punch and Stone Edge against this Contrary Aegislash.... which is pretty dumb, even not going over using Krookodile here.
[L] That Mawile is also hilarious. It gives away its Huge Power to this Krookodile..
[L] And nearly takes it out with Swagger.
[L] Guzzlord using Instruct (that's a move now??) on Krookodile.
[L] To finish it off, Explosion Chansey.

Now, to make this more than a coverage...

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7balancedhackmons-484770685
This is filled with dumb things. Copycat Zygarde, Explosion Sivally... I think someone needs to take this.

Based on the Toxapex's nickname I can only assume it was going to Heart Swap all of its boosts to the opponent. So yes, they're trying to lose.

Left: mono fire team, all with apparently normal sets (if Power Herb Solar Beam Magician Delphox counts as normal)
Right: 4 mons; somehow loses to a mono fire team despite having Mega Aero; special Araquanid, Extrasensory Togekiss (which misses an Air Slash, always nice to see) and Bide Sawk.

Okay, Typhlosion isn't bad. Mixed Typhlosion is bad, and fools that can't use him to his fullest potential (read: people who only use it for Eruption) are even worse. I can show you all the secrets of Typhlosion sometime. But not today.
