PuP Weavile. They forfeit when it gets instantly KOed.

All they had was a single Xerneas, and they somehow won a few games with it.

Five Rayquazas, with a FEAR Pineco serving as the combo breaker

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-372001263
Five Final Gambit Victinis, along with a (presumably) SwagPlay Klefki. Too bad they didn't know you can't use Final Gambit on Ghost types.

Smeargle without a Sash. It gets KOed instantly.

Attempting to raise stats against an Unaware Clefable, which they should have learned was Unaware when their +2 Leaf Storm hit for the same damage as their +0

And a team with six shinies.

One would not expect that in something like Showdown, where shinies don't take any more effort than regular Pokemon to get, these patterns also happen.

It could be for aesthetic purposes. I personally use shininess to reduce the amount of blue (my least favorite color) on my team.

using Earth Power on a Levitatemon

Mono-Slaking. Also, waiting until the second-to-last free switch to use the only 'mon that did any damage to Shuckle.

Audino Bear Grylls (who is apparently female) VS The World. The World has Taunt, Audino has only status moves, and The World also has Endeavor Shedinja.

I'm guilty of doing some silly things when I was low ladder trash.
I'm still technically low ladder trash, but who needs these silly OMs anyway, am I right???

I'm awful at Hackmons and I'm still awful at it. So I was like, "Hey! How about Shell Smash Mega Mewtwo X!"
That'll show 'em...

Someone used an actual Arceus-Ghost with Multitype and a Spooky Plate. His opponent has some strange stuff, including Me First MMX attempting to copy Judgement, to no avail.

Meanwhile, Defense Curl+Rollout Shuckle cleans house against a team with Volbeat, Dazzling Gleam Illumise, and Swift Swim Rain Dance Floatzel.

Mono OHKO Smeargle. One of them managed to outspeed a Charizard, which either did not have a mega stone or died before it could use it.

GeoPass Lugia is a new one. And then we have two separate Heart Swap users, but only one (Slowking) has Prankster. The other (and more successful) one was Darmanitan-Z.

Multiple attempts to use Toxic on an obvious CroCune, some of which while it was asleep. Also, since everything is Water/Fire on right, I doubt Meteor Mash is a good strategy, even from Megagross.

One of "those" AG battles. My personal favorite:
Turn 5
The opposing Hound00med used Sucker Punch!
But it failed!
gireme [Mega Gyarados] used Splash!
But nothing happened!
Turn 6
The opposing Hound00med used Sucker Punch!
But it failed!
gireme used Splash!
But nothing happened!
Turn 7
The opposing Hound00med used Sucker Punch!
But it failed!
gireme used Splash!
But nothing happened!

Left has the first four Fire starters, Flash Fire Ninetales, and Arcanine. Right is able to sweep with Megakhan, thanks to a triple Focus Miss.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-372172959
This is why Dragon teams run Dragalge. Also, Dazzling Gleam Clefable, Magic Coat Sylveon, and where is Klefki?

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-372171036
Five level 5 FEAR Pineco and a Ninetales vs. six Wobbuffet.

Looks like someone found a use for Unfezant after all. I would also like to point out that a female Unfezant is using the male model in battle (but still has the female sprite). Probably got overlooked because Unfezant is trash. But I digress.

Left forfeits after his Deoxys-S misses a Meteor Mash. But what I want to know is why he is using Meteor Mash Deoxys-S in the first place.

If you want to set up, why don't you just do it the old fashioned way? I mean, it did work, but still. Other bad stuff here as well.

★popotime: uber scrub
★popotime: rely on ubers much
★popotime: fuck this, entering a mainly pu game mode with ubers is sad AF

This made me laugh a lot harder than it should. I think this guy is missing the entire point of ETS... which is to make lower-tier 'mons able to compete viably with Ubers.

Featuring Bisharp flinching Primal Groudon with Iron Head and Breloom trying (and failing) to revenge-kill said Primal Groudon with Mach Punch. Also, right's nicknames made me die a little inside. Sorry.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/extremetiershift-372394816
Right has a Metronome team. While that's kind of silly in and of itself when viewed in a serious context, it gets sillier here with Kadabra getting a ton of physical moves against Primal Groudon in a row, including Volt Tackle and Wild Charge. Also, Feather Dance -> Topsy-Turvy god-tier combo, pls nerf
