Seismitoad gets Ice Punch, and I'm 90% sure that it runs it.
Well den.
Glad I said "depends if it gets Ice Punch" I just thought it would only get Ice Beam/Blizzard like the other 9000 Water types. Learn something new everyday ^_^
Double edge aerodactyl is viable with sash. They attack you, and bring you down to your sash. Next turn, you use double edge so you kill yourself if the opposing pokemon had defog/raid spin. If not, use another attacking move.
It's actually one of the only Water families to NOT get Ice Beam or Blizzard. Fucker's weird.
Hey, just because Aegislash has a Substitute up doesn't mean it's NOT going to King's Shield anyway. I'd know, 'cause I've done it. Using KS when someone really wants to get rid of your Sub is fun!
Also, "no more than 3 mons with Baton Pass" doesn't mean you only get to use 3 Pokémon if any of your team has Baton Pass, one of which DOESN'T have it.
I didn't know White Herb worked on stat drops that were Baton Passed though. That's actually pretty cool! Put up Reflect/Light Screen > switch to Smeargle > Spore > Shell Smash on the switch > Shell Smash and tank the hit with Screens (if you're lucky) > Baton Pass because you're definitely faster than they are by this point > White Herb > lol as they hit your tank-turned-sweeper for chip damage on the switch. Puts you at +4 offences with no Defence nerfs.

That's... not a very good set, if you're giving one pokemon up to prevent their defog/rapid spin which they can use on other pokemon.
It's not horrible if you have a VERY offensive team, and can pressure them properly to prevent them from defogging/spinning. It's along a similar idea to the rocks + Explosion lead Azelf that was somewhat popular in previous generations.
People say that to me all the time when I play stall on ladder.
Switching pisses people off, it should not be encouraged in a healthy metagame, imo.
I had one guy last night. "Your team is so gay all you do is stall"
And he wasn't doing that bad considering he had a Pikachu on his team...
- Golem, Muk, Hypno, Klinger, Non Mega Blastoise, Primeape in OU. And in the same team.
- Said Golem using Attract on a Galvantula it could have OHKO (Sash broken)
- Said Blastoise trying to Rapid Spin a Sticky Web that Galvantula hasn't set up yet.
- By the same token, yet another Avalanche Blastoise (mixed non mega Blastoise new meta)
- Gyarados setting up some DDance against Haze+Scald Blastoise
- Belly Drum+Wish Hypno. Could work on paper, but it was eventually forced to switch right after using Wish : in a nutshell, it did nothing.
- Stockpile Non Unaware Quagsire
all in the very same battle. Quagsire set sup to +3/+3 and "swept" with Scald.

You're on internet, noobs are everywhere
You know what else is silly?
My Ttar missing Stone edge on a charizard Y and he hits me with Focus Blast 2 FUCKING TIMES. Also M-Venu uses sludge bomb, it crits and poisons me, next turn he crits again(i'm pissed off with hax today)
And not to get too off topic:
Replies in bold
Okay... wat? http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-134555726
Arceus Poison, why poison? it also had Jugdement AND SLUDGE BOMB
Non-sash Galvantula
Ttar spamming Pursuit against Arceus Poison
Keeping Ttar in on M-Hera
M-Garch using Stone Edge on M-Hera
M-Hera responding by using Bullet Seed
You have 2 flying types on your team which mon you send on a M-Garch? Arceus Poison, and then forfeits before even trying to kill him with Crobat and Shaymin Sky
Many things that don't belong on Ubers, but they're OU viable at least

Love what? He did very good against you, even with Pikachu.
To be honest, he did about as well as I could hope with a Pikachu

Ever heard of suicide leads? After it dies, you can bring a pokemon to handle the opposing one.

Doing "very good" apparently means quitting within ten turns.
Hey, the dual Steel coverage makes use of Steelix's large, iron head and its long tail.
Doing very good has no correlation with quitting at all, for many reasons, including "Not every good player is super chill and will play no matter what, even if it's obvious they'll lose", and "Not everybody quits for ragequitting"
