Silly Things You've Seen In Other Metagames
- Thread starter Albacore
- Start date
[L] Fearow.
[R] Deoxys-D.
[L] Oh, look, a Me- did you just use Transform on a Magikarp
[R] Uses Bounce instead of Hydro Pump.
[L] Does not switch out
[R] Astonish on a Chandelure
[L] Tackle. 1) on a Ghost type 2) When Hydro Pump could've done slightly more damage 3) STILL DOESN'T SWITCH OUT
[L] stop
[L] Nice, a Blaziken! Let's see what it ha-
Blaziken used Solar Beam!
[L] Oh, right. It's also Blaze.
[R] Aqua Tail
[L] Giga Impact / Double Edge/Dream Eater / Blizzard Lugia
[L] Sky Attack Fearow
[R] Switches instead of using King's Shield. You know what, maybe it didn't even have King's Shield.
[R] Mega Kick Deoxys-D.
[L] Of course, Precipice Blades and Double-Edge against Dragonite.
[R] The only redeeming thing about this Dragonite is that it either switches or dies before doing another Draco Meteor.
[L] Clearly doesn't know what type immunites are.
[R] Clear Smog.
[L] Earthquake and Precipice Blades.
[L]... and Flamethrower.
[L] Tries to use said Flamethrower on a Vaporeon.
[R] Doesn't use Aqua Tail and prefers Giga Impact.
[L] Sweeps the rest of the team after snapping out of its confusion. After 28 damn turns.
Dear god, that was horrible.

Horrible movesets by Left, and some don't even have items.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-481631027
A brave PU team beats an Ash team.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-481639169
And beats a Guess that Mega as well (hint: they all have mega stones)
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-481633152
Nosepass.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/anythinggoes-481632675
Nosepass, without the trolly set. Someone take this.

So I finally started my foray into Gen 7 OU. I was testing an offensive core, and it worked, to some stretch of the imagination. But before the silly matches resulting of that, here's a very silly one.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankdoublesou-481626185
Plusle + Shedinja combo gets bodied very hard. Somebody take this.
Now for my own matches.

I feel sorry that this person let Tapu Bulu get worn down so easily.

One of my failures. Celesteelia is my natural nemesis.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-481612982
And this is where a Parting Shot glitch happens, and saves me from a loss.

[L] Gliscor without poison heal (or at least a toxic orb)
[R] Latios does not have HP fire
[L] Ferrothorn attempts to Thunder wave the poisoned latios
[R] Aegislash having iron head and flash cannon
[L] SHUCKLE ATTEMPTS TO POISON A GENESECT
[R] Ice beam/Blizzard genesect
[L] SHUCKLE ALSO KNOWS EARTHQUAKE AND STONE EDGE
[R] I don't think his pokemon have items since bisharp's knock off did not remove any items
And I think that's it. also some battles here

Smeargle and bidoof

Just Dugtrio and Durant. also a manectric with only electric moves
The Gen 7 BH ladder really is something else.

Right's team... all Gen 7 non legendary mons, and Hydro Vortex Prismarina.

This is simply hilarious on all accounts.
And then... I began my ladder run, only to win every single match with a pretty off the wall team.

Dialga was scary... but then it just used Dragon Claw. And then the Mega Ray came in... to spam FACADE.

Wait. What?
Typeless Wonder Guard?! Ooh, that's clever! Just make sure that's not your only game plan lol.
That's not the only thing wrong with this replay.
[L] Wants to know why he can't use his Pikachu's Z-Move. Judging by the fact that he then fired a Thunderbolt, I'm assuming he either tried to use Catastropika without having Volt Tackle, or was holding a Light Ball rather than Pikachium Z.
[R] Has a Toxic Orb Guts Ursaring when the nerf to Burn damage means Flame Orb is better.
[L] Wants Multi-Attack to hurry up and burn already. Multi-Attack does not have a burn chance, even when Fire-typed.
Yup. Some people are just that dumb:

I'll take both of these.
First match:
[L] Using Skitty in any situation, much less in BH. Also, everything else.
[R] Also pretty much everything.
[L] Destiny Bond/Moonblast Skitty.
[R] The Lycanrok falls for it.
[R] Contrary Infernape isn't actually bad.
[L] Special Mega Scizor, however... is incredibly bad. Still beats the Infernape, somehow.
[R] Shedinja uselessly dies against the Scizor.
[R] Smeargle... which is naturally passing boosts. Use something like a Lugia next time.
[L] The Scizor at least reveals Leech Life.
[R] Bad Dreams Yveltal. Though it does have Power Trip to take advantage of the boosts.
[R] Foolishly stopping the sweep to set up some more. That isn't helping anyone.
[L] Dazzling Gleam Mega Alakazam.
[L] Metronome/Spiky Shield Mega Pidgeot.
[R] Swagger/Toxic/Attract Kelfki.
[L] Wins with Heat Crash Wailord when his foe is too foolish to stall with Substitute.
[R] Also pretty much everything.
[L] Destiny Bond/Moonblast Skitty.
[R] The Lycanrok falls for it.
[R] Contrary Infernape isn't actually bad.

[R] Swagger/Toxic/Attract Kelfki.
[L] Wins with Heat Crash Wailord when his foe is too foolish to stall with Substitute.
Second Battle:
[L] Magikarp and Zoroark.
[R] Special Katarna with Geomancy. NO.
[R] Rayquaza comes in on a Sylveon, and then uses a Genesis Supernova. Not too bad...
[R] ...Until he follows it up with Geomancy.
[L] The Sylveon lets him, using Hidden Power to not take out the Mega Rayquaza, which lets it use 10,000 Volt Thunderbolt.
[R] It doesn't matter too much in the end, as his own Psychic Terrain renders Rayquaza's Extreme Speed useless.
[L] Thief Zoroark.
[R] Inferno Overdrive/Genesis Supernova Primal Groudon.
[R] ...Who also has Extreme Speed. Which is terrible compared to Double-Edge/Hammer Arm Mega Metagross.
[R] Geomancy Zygarde without a Power Herb. And then it uses Draco Meteor, which is enough of an attack here.
[L] Charizard-X using Flamethrower on this Zygarde.
[L] Water Shuriken Magikarp.
[R] Special Katarna with Geomancy. NO.
[R] Rayquaza comes in on a Sylveon, and then uses a Genesis Supernova. Not too bad...

(B): Random NFEs at random low levels
(R): Only four Pokemon
(R): Flame Charge Braixen. Nice base 59 Attack.
(L): Discharge Rotom-N. At least run an appliance form, even with the loss in Speed. Actually, scratch that. Don't run Rotom in BH at all.
(R): Rotom also has Uproar
(R): Trying to use Quick Attack on Rotom
I'm disappointed that we never saw anything of left's except for Rotom

Finally got around to playing Gen 7 OU (Pokebank). One battle, I lead with Scarf Genesect, only to encounter an opposing lead of Scarf Intimidate Staraptor. It did 86% with Brave Bird. It would have killed, too, had it been Reckless. No replay of it, unfortunately.

Based on the Toxapex's nickname I can only assume it was going to Heart Swap all of its boosts to the opponent. So yes, they're trying to lose.
Better than that: Galvanize Electric Gem Explosion Chansey. What a lord.

Gen 6 Uber/OU team meets mostly bad gen 6 PU, with some seriously funky sets on both sides (fun fact: Thunder Punch Typhlosion is terrible)

Here are screens of some sets I've managed to skilfully uncover using very advanced BH strats
Alas, my opponent fled before I had the chance to discover more sets

Bonus replay of Gallade vs. the world. Unfortunately for this particular Gallade set, the world knows how to switch.

Okay, Typhlosion isn't bad. Mixed Typhlosion is bad, and fools that can't use him to his fullest potential (read: people who only use it for Eruption) are even worse. I can show you all the secrets of Typhlosion sometime. But not today.
Now have some things that are truly bad.
