Other Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder: V2

Well.. Azumarill knocked off the opposing Spiritomb's Black Glasses!
and (not OU but still)

Ohh. To be honest I never knew the links were that similar. Thanks!

That was beautiful. Oh Swagger... how I hate you!

 

[The Bravest Bird]

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-101603022 - Just watch it... Swagger ripping me off of a 6-0, and the wonderful Special Gyarados, among other things. The difference in rating is strong too.

 

[Jaffa Ball]

I've seen this guy who used 5 Final Gambit Pokemon, then used SwagPlay Klefki, it was pretty legit, but it did rely on luck in the end....

 

[The Bravest Bird]

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-101641047 - 6-0ed in ~1370 rating range... including Cute Charm Hyper Voice Sylveon.

On a side note, over the span of a month and a half, we've filled 109 pages of posts on this thread. I think everyone deserves a pat on the back. *golf claps*

 

[Tressed]

Blast Burn Charizard and Giga Impact Mega Gyarados... the latter of which used it against Mega Aggron.
The results are surprising.

-Scald / Toxic / Protect... Starmie. You're gonna go far with those 60/85/85 defenses. (Seriously, just use Hydro Pump.)
-Fire Blast T-Tar. Umm... okay?
-T-Tar and MegaZard Y on the same team. At least try to stick to one weather archetype.
-Downright awful teambuilding in general. (Starmie and Azumarill are weakened by Sun and Magnezone's weakness is boosted by Sun, Sandstorm weakens the stall king Starmie.)
I must say that I got lucky at the end, though.

Fire Blast Ttar fries Ferrothorn, Skarmory and Scizor that likes to come in on it. So it's pretty much legit

When will people learn not to get greedy with boosts...

Fire Blast T-tar gets a lot of steels that like to switch in on it. And it makes a great teammate for y zard, as it resists flying type moves and can pursuit trap two big counters, the Latis. Also, because they're both auto weather switchers, so Tyranitar's sand doesn't bother yzard. Additionally, both pokemon use their weather pretty selfishly, I doubt there is a weather team going on.

Sorry about the rant, but hopefully it turns out to be useful advice.

I knew some serious BS was about to go down when Charizard got not one, but two KO's.

The lower ladder is such an interesting place, I love battling people there.

I think that may have been a bit of a premature ragequit.

edit: Also, hey look its my first forum post!

 

[qwazz]

I was in a battle with a seemingly decent team
When suddenly...

The foe's Chansey recovered some HP from leftovers!

Faced a team that consisted of everyone using Final Gambit... which was really stupid and not even making an attempt to win(also just who uses Basculin in OU?)

Last resort is accually viable, but the set it's meant to be,

Ambipom @ King's Rock
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Fling
- Last Resort

Focus Sash Cottonee is actually usable. Not good, but usable at least. Leech Seed + Substitute + Focus Sash. Then again, using Yache Berry... I dunno anymore.

even then it is quite situational imo. so i posted it here..

-Dynamicpunch Clefable with Quick Claw
-Mixed Drain Punch/Zap Cannon Eelektross
-using Earthquake and Earth Power repeatedly on said Eelektross
-Nidorina & Larvitar (both died in 1 hit, so i don't know if they had Eviolite, Leftovers or what else)
-Pyroar (with Hyper Voice and Flamethrower, so not that bad)

Are you... DEFENDING this team?!
Okay, I get it, Fire Blast T-Tar has a niche. It just came off as surprising to me as I never really see it.

To be fair, Eelektross can pull of a mixed set thanks to its near identical attacking stats. Not having Coil on said Eelektross Is the stupid thing.

 

[Dreg]

Knocking Off items is a great way to uncover silly stuff.

Like Metal Coat + Iron Head Skarmory

 

[kabbes]

I just came across a Noivern with quick claw. Same team had non-Mega Charizard.

 

[yikes]

Brick Break/Aerial Ace/Will-o-Wisp Infernape and non-Drizzle Politoed. ON THE SAME TEAM.

Uh, didn't know this, i've never used it.
