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

[Rajikaru]

David vs Goliath.

Hide

Team A: Looks like an early in-game team from Pokémon X or Y. He even copied the levels!

• Level 9 Fletchling.
• Level ?? Froakie.
• Level ?? Metapod.
• Level ?? Kakuna.
• Level ?? Zubat.

Team B: A little better than the opponent...

• Dragon Rush Charizard.
• Electivire.
• Jellicent.

I don't get the ideas behind in-game teams like that. Has any explanation been given as to why people re-create their early-game teams?

I've gotten used to running into various Ash/Red teams on the lower ladder, but I just ran into a Team Rocket team consisting of Koffing, Weezing, Ekans, Arbok, Meowth, and Persian...

Oh, I devastated the other guy.
I mean, I killed a Shuckle with Destiny Bond.
DESTINY BOND

 

[Karxrida]

DESTINY BOND

You united with him... IN DEATH.

 

[michaeloche]

You know the drill

-riolu. That niche is so 5th gen, it doesn't exist anymore
-PUP azumarill. belly drum is too mainstream. It's not that Azumarill gets Superpower for coverage. Oh wait...
-masquerain. trying to set up with quiver dance on zard-y. in sun. AND SUCCEEDING. Stupid Y-zard is stupid
-the same masquerain baton passing the quiver-dance boosts to a heatmor that successfully killed the megazard. HEATMOR IN OU EVER
-offensive quagsire with a quick claw. Gotta go fast, I guess
-said quagsire successfully sweeping three pokemon before it was taken down. I wonder how much Quick Claw influenced that
-meganium. I don't get why people still use this when M-Venusaur (hell, even normal Saur) is better
-manaphy, set up with tail glow, using surf instead of ice beam (which it already proved it had) on celebi. To be fair, it does a lot. Just not enough
-i think this one is a failed attempt at a lolcaterpiesweep: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135150208 Double Memento new meta
-http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135184233 okay then. lol Pichu
-http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-135177522 mega punch / confusion mega mewtwo x too op. New meta. Duh. Also, Magic Room
-hitmontop. Even Donphan is better
-HP fire greninja? is this a thing? It is, actually; it hits stuff like Skarmory, Ferrothorn, Scizor, etc.
-electrode. What is this, RBY?
-basculin. I once lost 2 Arceus forms to a Basculin in the same randbat (no species clause). True story. #noh8
-setting up trick room on conkeldurr, then switching to mandibuzz (and getting swept hard, 6-0: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135183287) Between Conkeldurr and Escavalier...
-another goddamn torterra. this one actually gets two kills and causes a ragequit. ffs. I like Torterra too, but he just sucks in OU. Deal with it, people
-greninja threatening your aerodactyl? better switch out mamoswine! that'll eat that hydro pump right up! What makes this worse is that Aero outspeeds Gren anyway
-TTar is also clearly better to switch into hawlucha's HJK than salamence or sylveon. clearly. Well, duh. in inverse battles
-regice. Because legends are OP, of course
-volcarona in ubers. on the same team as ho-oh. Enjoy those rocks
-golduck, sceptile, typhlosion, and hariyama, all on the same team. this wasn't a 'wrong team' mistake, either. the other 2 mons were scolipede and gengar. No idea
-shuckle repeatedly trying to set up multiple hazards on mega absol, despite their getting bounced back every time. Can't tell if dumb or just not paying attention
-togetic. Bulky defogger, if only it had an evolution... oh wait...
-another hariyama??????????? Withholding rant
-swapping starmie into mew-transformed-to-ludicolo, knowing it has giga drain Of course, he could have predicted Surf or something
-said mew-dicolo putting leech seed on tentacruel (granted, after the starmie play and its suggestion of the guy's skill level i wouldn't have been certain it had liquid ooze either.) I did something like that once, and my opponent spun the seeds away
-SPECIAL TYRANTRUM. NEW META
-GETTING SWEPT 6-0 BY SPECIAL TYRANTRUM. No words
-chansey and blissey on the same team. gotta stall harder. I see that all too often, unfortunately

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135188897
-someone needs to learn what type weakness is Not to mention Flash Fire

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135189124
-endeavor infernape, which might have worked pretty well if it hadn't been at nearly full health when it tried to use it. It's also better with a sash. Not Charcoal, damn it
-using everything but aqua jet on gliscor when protect was down. Also, Aqua Jet Blastoise kinda sucks
-secret power non-mega charizard... against aegislash. Maybe he was preparing for secret bases in OR/AS
-seriously, just watch this one. Done

Edit: Just realized this is post 502 Bad Gateway

Edit 2: missed a comment

I have to say, the way you put that team of no-hopers together and then handled it against a proper OU team was pretty bloody masterful. Fair play to you.

 

[Touymato]

Low Ladder Goodies:

-Focus Blast Keldeo.
-Metronome Latios. That was used on Bisharp after I switch in on Defog.
-Gigalith In OU.
-Typhlosion also.

gotta love how they are only unbanning phione in the same competition that they are unbanning things like kyogre and xerneas in.

EDIT: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135432492 Sun team, with Forrestress because he's not too weak to fire yet right? and MACHOKE, why the fuck a machoke over a machamp, that probably didn't even had dynamic punch
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135434156 KABOOM

Smeargle sweep

i use this same smeargle set to troll the 1v1 ladder sometimes on my alt.
the sheer number of ragequits it causes is spectacular. even people who would win if they struggled down my last 10% hp.

 

[Zekrenzo]

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-135504311

No clue whatsoever on how to deal with conk
Also let's spam wish to heal entry hazard damage, even if it cost a good chunk of Blissey's life
EDIT: I just realized, Payback Machamp? is that a thing? and WATER PULSE NON-MEGA BLASTOISE

On another battle: Wave Incense Gyarados...??
