Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder!

This one is really silly. Featuring such "creative" strategies as:

Mega Banette: Confuse Ray, Thunder Wave, Headbutt (!), Destiny Bond

Kyurem (regular form): Rock Slide, Hone Claws, Outrage, Substitute

Beedrill: Focus Energy, Poison Jab, Swords Dance, 4th move unknown

Fortunately, he forfeited before the battle could drag into a stall war. I ran into the Showdown glitch which gave me two battles to fight at once, making it so that I was not playing with undivided attention.

-Red Card Regigigas
-Luxray with Close Combat and Superpower.

It's good to see that people are really taking these limitless possibilities to the edge.

Is "hackmons" (as opposed to the "balanced hackmons") the metagame where you can do things like put No Guard and Sheer Cold on Ninjask/Speed Deoxys/any fast Pokemon? Or do rules like the OHKO clause apply there too?

Still, two physical fighting moves on Luxray is really uninspired. :)

You can do whatever you want in Hackmons, even break sleep clause. Trust me, that caused me a lot of problems at one point.

This one has to be seen to be believed. Shame I didn't get to see the rest of this fabulous team.
 
Random Shit volume 19: Enough Hackmons Edition
-Wooper: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-83768811
-Bad pun time: An Air Balloon Luxray switching in on Lando-T that had previously used Gravity. Apparently, he didn't understand the gravity of the situation.
-Shuca Berry Bisharp. I guess it works...?
-Nobody expects the mighty mixed Thundurus! (Not even me.)
-A Charizard that didn't mega evolve.
-That awkward moment when Ice Beam does more damage to Rotom-W than Grass Knot...
-Draco Meteor missing twice in a row. Unfortunate.
-Explosion Cloyster.
-A team of Garchomp, Haxorus, Hydreigon, and Dragonite. Nothing else.
-Genesect with Shift Gear and... U-turn.
-Shedinja without a sash.
-Mega Mawile with Dark Pulse and Fairy Wind.
-A Rotom-H using Trick on said Mega Mawile. Twice.
-Braviary.
-Non-mega Banette and Absol.
-Jellicent without Leftovers. What else would it hold? It (hopefully) wasn't Specs, because it used Will-o-Wisp (on a Conkeldurr, of course).
-Chesnaught beating CM Reuniclus 1-on-1.
-Flower power: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-83768885
-Taunt Tyranitar. Never saw that before.
-Sometimes you have to sacrifice something to get a counter in. You should not, however, sacrifice 4 grounded mons against an EQ-spamming Garchomp when you have Mandibuzz waiting in the wings. Especially if 3 of those mons are weak to ground.
-Stone Edge Heatran.
-Aromatisse.
-Red Card Gardevoir.
-Sigilyph without Magic Guard. But with an Enigma Berry.
-Earth Plate Lando-T. wut.
 
i haven't personally seen anything silly, but i occasionally use a Destiny Bond team and recently (and actually laddering) with a Final Gambit team lol
 
Smeargle trying to set up SmashPass on my KyuB, turn 1. KyuB had put up a sub earlier Turn 1. Turn 2, Smeargle passes off to another KyuB, who promptly gets wrecked by my KyuB. Seriously, if your opponent has a KyuB behind a Sub up, DO NOT go to your own KyuB. You will lose unless the KyuB behind the sub clicks Sub again.

Who in their right mind would run sun on a mono-grass team. That's what pisses me off most about this battle.

Many grass types have chlorophyll, so I could see reason for it. That guy's team/sets were all bad though. And most of those flowers, even though they have Chlorophyll, aren't all that fast with it, given that Togekiss still outspeeds. (even if max speed/timid, still no excuse)
