No actual ubers here (not even Blaziken and M-Kangaskhan), Leavanny, Heliolisk with Round, and Pyroar.

Even though I've never actually played AAA, I think some of these choices are decidedly nonstandard: Stantler, Riolu, and Cheek Pouch Aegislash (lol 50 base attack).
 
First post. Whoo!

I guess I want to first post about AAA. http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-almostanyability-119049655

1. Snow warning... Abomasnow? It's still used as weather setter?
2. Krookodile
3. Blissey and Chansey on the same team.
4. Drain punch Blissey.
5. Krookodile with intimidate and no item.
6. Wiseglasses Chansey... with Return.
7. Aegislash using Iron Defense against a Dragonite using Fire Blast. Twice.
8. Alakazam. Non-Magic Guard. (Who knows what it could be?)
9. Alakazam using Mega Kick.

I use Doublade a lot when I play 1v1 (Which may be silly by itself) but I can't keep track of how many times the opponent has thrown Brick Break or another fighting move at me...

I bet it's not as many times as opponents have tried Ghost moves on my 1v1 Girafarig! I keep getting people sheepishly saying they'd have thought the weakness would counteract the immunity. Yes, like how you can Thunderbolt Swampert...

Now that I think about it, maybe some people think Doublade's No Guard will let them bypass an immunity...

Why bother U-turning Shedinja out when rocks are up? Also, he should have stayed as normal Gyarados. Furthermore, Shadow Force goes through Protect, although it's so rare he can be forgiven for forgetting that.

Interesting Lopunny set. And why did neither Cinccino use Tail Slap at all?

I know this is randbats, but even for them, this is a new level.
 
In NU Alpha, a Rest Regirock with no attack moves.


Tbh, I only saw it using T-Wave and Stealth Rock alongside Rest, but he did not attempt to finish a 21% Doublade off (which proceeded to sweep his team).
