Yeah, but if you are playing with a crap team (like I do) to see if you beat anyone, you should declare your name, or people will think you're an idiot too.

OR! Or! You could just, you know, play on the OU ladder and try and find something silly. You know. Instead of spamming replays of battles where both parties are at 1000 ELO.

Here's something to keep in mind as well. If I could get the same experience from watching your replay as I could by making an alternate account and playing a battle with a shitty team at the bottom of the ladder, then it isn't "silly".

>Hypnosis + Swagger Politoed. (Is that legitimately a thing? I know I got a bit greedy with Subbing a second time, but I had a feeling he might go for Hypnosis again instead of just clicking Surf a second time. And lo and behold, I was right.)

>Beartic going for Aqua Jet to try to break a Sub when I'm at +4 Defence.
(252+ Atk Life Orb Beartic Aqua Jet vs. +4 248 HP / 8+ Def Scolipede: 19-23 (5.8 - 7.1%) -- possibly the worst move ever)

>Beartic going for Aqua Jet again versus that same Sub when I'm at +4 Defence and it's a resisted hit.
(252+ Atk Life Orb Beartic Aqua Jet vs. +4 220 HP / 0 Def Celebi: 9-12 (2.2 - 3%) -- possibly the worst move ever)

>Non-Trace Gardevoir.

>Thinking Gardevoir is a good switch-in when I'm at +5 Speed and +4 Attack.
For the record:
+4 252+ Atk Life Orb Celebi Sucker Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Gardevoir: 442-520 (158.9 - 187%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+4 252+ Atk Life Orb Celebi Zen Headbutt vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Gardevoir: 331-390 (119 - 140.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

And even if Gardevoir has HP investment instead, which is also a set that is sometimes used: (Max HP and Modest. The 4 Def isn't normal, however, as 4 Speed is usually used; this is just for the sake of a worst-case scenario)
+4 252+ Atk Life Orb Celebi Zen Headbutt vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Gardevoir: 328-386 (96.4 - 113.5%) -- 75% chance to OHKO
That's a resisted hit. And I wouldn't go for Zen Headbutt anyway, because why do that when Gardevoir has no priority (excluding lolShadow Sneak off of 65 base Attack, or 85 if she Mega Evolves) and I have Seed Bomb?

>Timering out instead of forfeiting.

Playing online on 3DS and run into the following:

> Guy leads with Scizor, I lead with Skarmory
> He U-Turns into Rhydon, I switch to Malamar
> SPAMS HORN DRILL WITH RHYDON while I pull off several Superpower boosts
> Bring in Scizor and USES FLASH CANNON
> Brings in Alakazam. Pointed stones dug into the opposing Alakazam.

EDIT: Here's the VS Recorder code, if anyone wants to watch it. (JWKW-WWWW-WWW6-6BVQ)

if you had +3/4 defense then flash cannon would probly do more than bullet punch

although why he has flash cannon is obviously a mystery

Edit: Random Shit volume 54: Delibird for Ubers Edition
-Synchronize Alakazam. With Charge Beam and Double-Edge.

-Energy Ball Trevenant. With Berry Juice.
-Acrobatics Y-zard.
-One on the other team with Aerial Ace.
-Ice Beam Gyarados.
-Iron Tail Glaceon. At least it used it on something that was weak to it (in this case, Florges).
-Vacuum Wave Breloom.
-Luxray.
-Ditto without Imposter.
-Bounce+Block+Double-Edge Donphan. And the thing it blocked? Wobbuffet.
-Mixed attacking Uxie.
-Y-zard using Fire Blast on Heatran.
-Mixed Tauros. With Headbutt as its STAB.
-Seviper.
-Kingler with Blizzard.
-Energy Ball Torterra.
-Lucario with Water Pulse.
-Purugly. With Rain Dance, of all things.
-Pupitar.
-Echoed Voice Sylveon. Please don't.

Edit 2: Random Shit volume 55: Buy One, Get One Free Edition
-Flame Orb Jolteon.
-This: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-98905342
-Noivern thinking it could actually do something with Boomburst. Leave it to something with STAB on it, if you please.
-Espeon using Wish two turns in a row.
-Two 5-mon teams against each other.
-Many things wrong here: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-98913153
-And here, but not as bad: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-98913022
-What appeared to be a FEAR Starly losing to a Spike Cannon from Omastar. Said Omastar also had Smack Down.

Slurpuff with Belly Drum + Sitrus + Thief. At first I thought the guy forgot unburden because my Deoxys-D outsped but apparently thieving my item negated unburden.

Just came across a guy with Vigoroth and Pikachu on his team.

Vigoroth's totes viable in OU, right?
Click to expand...
Pikachu is...alright. If he was carrying a Light Ball and didn't just sack the yellow mouse then sure it works.

I don't know why he'd use Vigoroth though. Or even use any of that line unless it's part of a tatic.

-Got to make up for Crobat's lackluster speed with a Quick Claw. It works great with Whirlwind and lets spam Hypnosis even though you set up Toxic Spikes and Sleep Clause is a thing
-Screw Ice Punch, let's use Dragon Rush on Aggron!
-You have to backup Dragon Rush Aggron with Dragon Rush Phyperior.

vs.

-Non-Mega Ampharos
-Can't take any chances. It's clearly a Bulk Up mixed sweeper Floatzel. MIRROR COAT AWAY WOBBUFFET!
-Okay Steelix, you're up against Dragon Rush Rhyperior and Dragon Rush Aggron. You know what to do...DOUBLE-EDGE!

First XY Ubers match, and I get..........this........... (You'll see who's the noob when you start watching):
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-98995500

Hyper Beam Non-Mega Gengar (And Confuse Ray as well; besides, Hyper Beam was it's ONLY ATTACK)
Infernape and Mega Alakazam in Ubers (The former was okay back then, but now, eck..........)
Ice Beam Gyarados (I would say non-mega but I heard Base-Gyara is viable in Ubers, somewhat)
Activating Sleep Clause with Gengar (Just a stupid play in my opinion)

His Darkrai and Kyogre were okay, though.
