Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
the last two games make you wonder if all the League people had it right
someone may want to double check arceus on PS cause im pretty sure i got robbed. or at the very least, other people watch out for ekiller doing double damage
Some of these calcs achieved by Diantha's Arceus are impossible. Even with 252+ Adamant, +2 unboosted Arceus cannot OHKO 152 HP Ho-Oh without a critical or do 46% to 252/0 Impish Skarmory:
+2 252+ Atk Arceus ExtremeSpeed vs. 252 HP / 0+ Def Skarmory: 93-109 (27.8 - 32.6%)
+2 252+ Atk Arceus ExtremeSpeed vs. 152 HP / 0 Def Ho-Oh: 297-349 (75.9 - 89.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+6 Arceus also cannot OHKO Skarmory or 252 HP Dialga with Extremespeed.
The only way his Arceus could have achieved these KOes is by breaking the 252 per stat EV limit, which is possible to do on a custom game.
An IP check also reveals that Diantha is an alt of user: Befall ...who is an alt of Konzern, who is banned.
Diantha is disqualified for 1) cheating and 2) being an alt of another user.Iris advances to Round 3.
IF YOUR ARCEUS DOES NOT OBEY THE 100 EV PER STAT LIMIT YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED AND INFRACTED FOR CHEATING, DIANTHA WAS YOUR WARNING
A note to everybody: posting replays helps protect you from cheaters as Gen 4 Custom Game does not enforce EV limits. We were only able to bust Diantha because we had the replay evidence to double check the calcs. It's really for your own good, and we like to see the games because this metagame doesn't get much exposure. :]
I know that it sucks to have a bye now but if we don't have a bye, then we have to go w/ robin rounds for this round and next round. I'm happy to modify the match ups if you guys are dissatisfied with this resolution.
