Wow. The air balloon Dragonite is bad enough, but then I looked at the rest of the team and saw he had Togepi and freaking CHARMELEON. Apparently the ladder noob crowd got pissed off that Charizard is actually viable now and decided to start using Charmeleon instead.

Coz' Rank in PS has nuthin' to do with the knowledge of the opponent of not using Transform.
In other words, not being an idiot.
+6 252+ Atk Life Orb Burned Guts Heracross Megahorn vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Skarmory: 304-357 (91 - 106.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
The sad part is that I have actually done that to someone before.
Shuckle sweep in random battle. Not that this is silly exactly but does this happen often?

A maximum defense Gengar actually has a niche: Donphan's Ice Shards cannot break its Sub.
252+ Atk Donphan Ice Shard vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Gengar: 50-59 (15.4 - 18.2%) -- possible 6HKO
Actually, I didn't EV it properly.
An Acrobats Gliscor with Toxic Orb (I don't know if it had Fling because I had Gengar under a Sub) and a Zangoose

This is an inverse battle that means Skarmory is x4 weekness to bug -.-
So, I was bored of traditional laddering because of stupid unrespectful rookies talking faeces while using their shining red Digimon Cockroaches.
I went to a 6-pokemon randomiser and used them in the OU Tier using an alternative account.
I found the original pile of silliness: Drain Punch Gengar. And Hyper Beam. And HP Psychic Keldeo.
As an added bonus, let me show you a battle of shame, that now everyone going to see it and the snorty, filthy immature specimen of Pan troglodytes is going to get embarrassed for the rest of his life.
By the way, I am Practice1.

We should create a Hall of Shame thread for thosesore winners and losers Whi[t]neys and Clairs.

Look, I know that. It's the reason you play Inverse Battles :)
I know! 3 consecutive evasion boosts followed by 3 consecutive spd boosts is ridiculously lucky.

Here's an Inverse Battle that seems to fall under "convenient disconnect". Disconnecting doesn't save your ladder ranking from dropping, but I've had enough people leave me hanging in the middle of a battle that it makes me suspicious. . .
Yes, I tried to stop the timer, but that feature seems a bit wonky.

Clearly he had a death wish. Sending in a sun setter against a solarpower sweeper...
That wasn't a Mega Houndoom. It was holding leftovers. Ninetales switching in wasn't the fail.

This battle has some serious fails but the hyperbeam blissey & mudkip..

Air balloon hydreigon. It's become tradition for us to post a airballoon+(levitate/flyingtype) set every page here. The birds trio also have silly sets!
I just saw a Water Pulse Blissey... o_O
Maybe it had serene grace? 60% confusion chance is annoying i guess..
Sableye is almost broken in averagemons. You really need to prepare for it or risk having your mons crippled/losing the match...which he did.
I ranted extensively about the brokenness of Sableye in the thread, it seriously needs a ban

You're still slow in 3.5x speed. Gotta go fast!!!
That first guy almost has a legit set on his Exeggutor. Just replace light screen with sub, and Solar Beam with Giga Drain and you have something with potential to be very irritating. But the fact that the opponent lost 4 things to it, when he had a Kyurem-B with ice beam on the team... idk anymore >_<
As for the second guy, not only does he have more rock weaknesses than on my Bug mono, he kept sending his birds in after Ttar killed each off with a Stone Edge. Everything had a terrible set as well (why Wild Charge and Tbolt on the same thing? Are you that afraid of Gyarados or something?) Also, why the random levels on things? Reminds me of this guy I came across a long time ago: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/oucurrent-35840923
Dat clutch Gligar at the end.
