Is your head filled with lots of useless information about Pokemon mechanics for scenarios that are unlikely to ever realistically occur? Do you enjoy problem solving and tricky puzzles? Then this is the perfect project for you!

Introducing the SWSH edition of UU Brain Teasers! In this project, a host will entertain the UU room with UU related puzzles and brain teasers, such as,

On turn 1 of a UU game, a 252 Spa Modest Weeezing-Galar OHKOs a max speed max special attack Roserade with a STAB move. How did this happen? The move did not crit, and Roserade's stats were not affected.

Weezing was holding a petaya berry, roserade attacked with sludge bomb to put it in range of its berry, and then weezing used Belch.

+1 252+ SpA Weezing-Galar Belch vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Roserade: 231-273 (88.5 - 104.5%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO

Did you get the answer? Try our more in the PS UU room on Saturday's at 8pm GMT+1 if you enjoyed that question! The person who solves the most teasers within a session will win the week and have their name added to the hall of fame :)

Rules

  • Each Brain Teasers session will comprise of 5 questions, the solutions to which rely on creativity and manipulation of Pokemon mechanics. This will be hosted in the PS UU room.
  • Each question may have more than one possible answer, each person to come up with a valid answer will score a point. Only one point may be scored per question, and it will be up to the host's discretion to decide if an answer is too similar to a previously accepted one.
  • The person who scores the most points at the end of 5 questions will win the week. If there is a tie, a short lightning round will be done between the two players, consisting of a Best of 5 on easy questions such as,
    • True/False: A Choice Specs Flamethrower from a Timid maximum SpA Noivern is a guaranteed OHKO on a max spA max speed modest Ice Scales Frosmoth?
  • This is a friendly competition, please be patient as these sessions can be quite hectic and the host may have to check multiple answers before they can check yours.

Good luck and hope to see you all soon!

Congratulations to Lilburr for winning this weeks brain teasers! Also congratulations to the runner up Spook.

Make sure to come again next week at the same time, Saturday 29th 8PM GMT+0 :)

Question 1 - On turn 1 of a UU game, a Weavile Knocks Off Arcanine's Heavy Duty Boots. Both Pokemon switch out on turn 2. The next time Arcanine comes back in, it does not take damage from the Stealth Rocks that are present on its side. How did this happen?

Answer - Arcanine used Thief on turn 1.

Question 2 - How can a Timid Choice Specs Heliolisk OHKO a level 100 Max Speed Max Special Attack Ice Scales Frosmoth? Frosmoth and Heliolisk's stats were unaltered. Sun was not active.

Answer - Heliolisk used weather ball in Sand. 252 SpA Choice Specs Heliolisk Weather Ball (100 BP Rock) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Ice Scales Frosmoth in Sand: 316-376 (112.4 - 133.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Answer - Heliolisk has maximum attack investment, used fire punch/rock slide. 252- Atk Heliolisk Rock Slide vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Frosmoth: 260-308 (92.5 - 109.6%) -- 50% chance to OHKO after sandstorm damage

Question 3 - On turn 2 of a UU game, a level 100 252 HP 120 SpDef Calm Umbreon switches into your Timid Choice Specs Inteleon's Hydro Pump, and is OHKOd. How did this happen? Inteleon was not in Torrent range, it's stats were unaffected, and Hydro Pump did not crit.

Answer - Turn 1 araquanid used entrainment against Inteleon to give it water bubble. 252 SpA Choice Specs Water Bubble Inteleon Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 120+ SpD Umbreon: 344-408 (87.3 - 103.5%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO after Leftovers recovery

Question 4 - On turn 1 of a UU game, Pangoro leads vs an level 100 Max HP Max Spdef Calm Umbreon. On turn 2, Pangoro OHKOs Umbreon with a Dark-type move. How did this happen? Pangoro was faster, and Umbreon used an attacking move on turn 1.

Answer - Pangoro uses SD turn one, Umbreon uses double kick and triggers Pangoro's weakness policy. Pangoro then uses Power Trip. +4 252+ Atk Pangoro Power Trip (140 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Umbreon: 335-395 (85 - 100.2%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO after Leftovers recovery

Question 5 - On turn 2 of a UU game, the opponent switches their level 100 252 HP 240 SpD Rhyperior into your Bronzong, and is OHKOd by Bronzong. Bronzong was not running Grass Knot or Weather Ball. Bronzong still had full HP afterwards. How did this happen?

Answer - Turn 1 max speed magic guard Reuniclus uses skill swap to give choice specs bronzong magic guard. Bronzong uses Steel Beam. 252+ SpA Choice Specs Bronzong Steel Beam vs. 252 HP / 240 SpD Solid Rock Rhyperior: 463-546 (106.6 - 125.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO.

Congrats to Lilburr for winning this week again! Next week's session will be back on Saturday again as usual.

Big thanks to Eve for supplying the questions for this week's session!

On Turn 1 of a UU Battle, Lucario OHKOs Arcanine with Flash Cannon. How did this happen? The move did not crit.

Arcanine used Burn Up, activating Lucario's Weakness Policy and making Arcanine typeless. +2 252+ SpA Lucario Flash Cannon vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD typeless Arcanine: 316-373 (98.4 - 116.1%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO

At the end of Turn 1 in a UU battle after a double KO, Grapploct and Eviolite Doublade are brought in. On turn 3, Grapploct OHKOs Doublade from full. How did this happen? The move did not crit.

On Turn 1, Magic Room is set up. On Turn 2, Doublade uses Iron Defense and Grapploct uses Topsy Turvy. On Turn 3, Grapploct uses Sucker Punch to OHKO Doublade. 252+ Atk Grapploct Sucker Punch vs. -2 0 HP / 0 Def Doublade: 220-260 (84.9 - 100.3%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

How can Galarian Weezing take less than 3% from a Max Attack Adamant Guts Machamp's Heavy Slam on switchin? Machamp is burned by its Flame Orb.

Weezing has Neutralizing Gas, which negates Guts. It is also holding a Babiri Berry, and has Reflect or Aurora Veil active on its side of the field. Machamp has -6 Attack. -6 252+ Atk burned Machamp Heavy Slam (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Babiri Berry Weezing-Galar through Reflect: 6-7 (1.7 - 2%) -- possibly the worst move ever

On Turn 2 of a UU Battle, Vaporeon OHKOs a Max HP max Defense Bold Assault Vest Lanturn. How? The move used did not crit.

Vaporeon used Copycat to call Final Gambit, which was used to end Turn 1.

Congrats to Eve for winning this week's brain teasers, and to runner up Sage.

Questions and answers below as always.

Question - On turn 2 of a standard UU game, Corsola-Galar sets Stealth Rock as a Magic Bounce Xatu switches in. The rocks aren't bounced back. How did this happen?

Turn one pangoro uses entrainment to give corsola-galar mold breaker.

Turn one Haxorus uses outrage on eject button wandering spirit runerigus, haxorus forced into corsola-galar, runerigus uses skill swap to give corsola-galar mold breaker. Turn 2, corsola-galar uses SR against xatu.


Question - On a turn of a standard UU game, an opposing Pokemon switches into Lunatone's Earthquake, but is immune to it. They switch out the next turn, and on the turn after switch back in and are Poisoned by Toxic Spikes. How did this happen? Lunatone did not use Gravity.

Holding Air Balloon, Lunatone used Magic Room.


Question - On turn 1 of a standard UU game, you lead a Milotic. On turn 2, your Milotic outspeeds a Choice Specs Gardevoir and OHKOs it with Scald from Full. How did this happen? Both pokemon were level 100, standard analysis EV spreads. (0 Spa 0 Speed Calm Milotic, 252 Speed Timid Gardevoir) Sticky webs are not up.

Opponent lead an Incineroar, you are an adrenaline orb competitive milotic, +2 spA + 1 speed. Incineroar used parting shot, +5 spA +1 speed. +5 0 SpA Milotic Scald vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Gardevoir: 267-315 (96 - 113.3%) -- 75% chance to OHKO


Question - On the start of a turn of a UU game, a Roserade and Celebi are brought out against each other, both running max speed timid, and both holding Life Orb. Roserade outspeeds Celebi and kills it with Sludge Bomb. How did this happen? Sticky Web are not up. Celebi clicked Psychic. Trick Room was not up.

Celebi had been paralysed earlier in the match, and natural cure did not activate due to neutralising gas.

Congratulations to gum for winning this week's brain teasers, and to the runners up Panther-T and Anish.

Questions and answers below as always.

Question 1 - On turn 1 of a standard UU game, neither play switches out. On turn 2, the opponents natural cure Roserade switches out. On turn 3 you switch into Rotom-Wash as the opponent switches back into Roserade. On turn 4, Roserade clicks spikes, and your Rotom-Wash OHKOs Roserade from full. How did this happen? Both pokemon are level 100, with max spA max speed ev timid EV spreads. Rotom-Wash did not crit.

Turn 1, you lead with a faster Pokemon than Roserade, chip it, and Roserade clicks Rest to fall asleep. You switch out into neutralising Gas weezing, as they switch out causing Roserade to stay asleep. Your rotom-wash is choice specs with Dream eater. 252 SpA Choice Specs Rotom-Wash Dream Eater vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Roserade: 270-318 (103.4 - 121.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Question 2 - On turn 1 of a standard UU game, a Life Orb Mr Mime-galar leads versus a 252 spa 252 speed modest assault vest Duraludon. On turn 2, mr mime OHKOs Duraludon. How did this happen? Mr mime did not know Calm Mind or Nasty Plot. Both Pokemon were level 100. Mr mime did not crit.

Mr mime uses Iron Defense, duraludon uses body press. Mr mime uses copycat.
+2 252+ Def Life Orb Copperajah Body Press vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Duraludon: 281-333 (100 - 118.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Question 3 - "In a UU battle, a standard Level 100 Dual Dance Reuniclus has fully set up to +6 in Defense, Sp.Atk and Sp.Def. However, on a turn where it successfully uses Recover to return to full health and the opponent switches, it faints. How could this happen without the use of Perish Song?"

reuniclus had been soaked, twisted spoon beeheym used future sight, NP, switched. future sight crit +2 252+ SpA Twisted Spoon Beheeyem Future Sight vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Reuniclus on a critical hit: 430-507 (101.4 - 119.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

reuniclus is afflicted with Toxic, which has maxed out its damage multiplier by this point, and some other residual damage causing effect like Leech Seed the opponent switches into Galarian Weezing, whose Neutralizing Gas disables Magic Guard

Question 4 - "How can a Jolly Max Atk & Spe Swords Dance Celebi reliably OHKO a freshly switched in Bold Max HP & Def Eviolite Doublade without a boosting item or critical hit?" No field effects are present.

Celebi is at +6, uses Fling with an overheat TR for 130 BP.

Question 5 - "On Turn 1 of a UU battle, a Dragon-type attack does less than 70% to a standard Sp.Def Level 100 Gigalith. Interestingly, this attack has the potential to OHKO that Gigalith variant on Turn 1 without the attacker changing their set. Who is the user and what is the move? In both scenarios the move successfully hits."

rivalry banded hax's outrage

Grats to TMM on winning this week of Brain Teasers, and same to the runner-up Gadget!

Questions and answers below as poggers.
Question 1 - On turn 2 of a standard UU game, a full HP level 100 Cobalion switches into level 100 Umbreon, and is OHKO'd by Umbreon. How does this happen?
Umbreon Copycats Final Gambit which was used to end Turn 1

Question 2 - On Turn 1 of a standard UU game, a Duraludon uses Steel Beam and takes no damage. How did this happen? The move caused damage.
Sigilyph/Reuniclus Skill Swaps it Magic Guard

Question 3 - How can a Steelix be immune to all 4 of Choice Specs Toxtricity's standard moves on Turn 2 of a UU battle? (boomburst, volt switch, overdrive, sludge bomb)
Steelix is afflicted with Trick-or-Treat
Steelix is Skill Swapped Soundproof

Question 4 - On a turn of a UU game, the opposing Pokemon uses a move with no special effects with a maximum damage roll, and is then Strength Sapped by your Pokemon. on the next turn, you move first, and the opposing Pokemon does more damage than last turn with the same move. How is this possible? The opposing pokemon did not have Defiant or Contrary as an Ability, and you did not use any move that would raise its Attack stat. (THIS ONE WENT HORRIBLY WRONG)
Literally any special move paired with some condition that boosts it the next turn (metronome, flare boost flame orb, weak armor stored power, throat spray, weakness policy)
It got a crit
Guts Facade + Orb
Skill Swap Huge Power, obtained from a Bunnelby- done by a Drifblim

Question 5 - On Turn 1 of a UU battle, a Max Attack Max Speed Jolly Itemless Lucario uses Swords Dance as a Max HP Max Def Bold Leftovers Sylveon is switched directly in. On Turn 2, Sylveon survives Meteor Mash. It does not miss, and Sylveon does not use Endure or Protect. How did this happen?
Turn 1 Intimidate
Sylveon uses Baby-Doll Eyes which has +1 priority, letting it have a chance to survive

As everyone is probably aware, me and the rest of the PS roomstaff team have recently started with our more official roomevents scheduling and official tour nights, which can be found in this thread https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/uu-room-events.3666721/

Brain teasers obviously falls under the topic of a Room Event, and I've been struggling with motivation of handling this project alone for a while, so me and A Cake Wearing A Hat have decided to merge Brain teasers as part of our roomevents thread now, with all Project hosts being able to help out hosting it!

Hopefully this should help revive this project, and inject some variety in hosts and questions in! We will now be using the room events thread for all things related to Brain teasers.
