I can see calm mind+ 3 psysical attacks on a mixed attacker if they want to bluff special offensive, but not 4 setup move unless they derped. Also there IS a difference between noobishness and an accident ( I once put dragon pulse on adamant garchomp by accident and didn't realize until later).
This is technically ubers but it's just too funny not to post http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-92408725
Totally legit! Dragon Pulse outdamages Outrage and even Stone Edge against... well, Avalugg and not much else, on Adamant Chomp.
(editor's note: is not really legit)
My friend once used swords dance Tentacruel with max speed .~. bow down indeed.
Offensive bulky Mandibuzz with Life Orb and Weak Armour probably did it for me. Set probably looked something like this...
Mandibuzz @ Life Orb
Ability: Weak Armour
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk , 4 SpD(?)
- Brave Bird
- Bone Rush
- Steel Wing
- Roost
I was fairly lost for words...

Water Pulse has the same base power as Surf on M-Blastoise due to it's ability, Mega Launcher. So Water Pulse isn't that silly, as it also has that annoying confusion chance on top of 90 Base Power.
And, not to actually claim that it's good, but aside from Acrobatics, Fly is Hawlucha's best damaging Flying STAB by a fairly wide margin. Acrobatics is still better but locks him into itemless builds.
First of all sky attack is more powerful second of all unburden pairs amazingly with acrobatics so yeah and was it a power herb fly?
I once saw someone who tricked me a Helix Fossil. His mon's name was "ACCEPT IT AS YOUR GOD".
This one reminds me of that one image floating around the internet of a TR grunt:
-Uses Explosion on only Pokemon
-"I can't believe I lost!"
Sky Attack is more powerful than Fly but doesn't come with an invincibility turn.
I'll readily admit that in terms of turn-over-turn damage, Aerial Ace is actually better than either Fly or Sky Attack, but discounting Sky Attack, which isn't much use outside of Power Herb burst damage, Fly hits harder on a per-hit basis than anything else Hawlucha has access to besides Acrobatics, at least as far as Flying-type moves go.
I still stand by my assertion from another thread though: the only truly viable Fly user is obviously and inarguably Golurk, and if you disagree with me go see his ingame animation.
>Non-Magic Bounce Espeon used as a switch-in for Stealth Rock.
>Belly Drum Azumarill without Sitrus Berry or Leftovers. Was it running Mystic Water, like the Serebii set suggests?
>Guy with Aegislash trying to Shadow Sneak Talonflame at only +2.
Edit: Sorry, replay link didn't copy properly. That's the wrong replay.
Power Herb burst damage works great with Unburden, however.

Not too exciting, but it meets the standards, i guess.

-Level 99s Why the randomness
-Zoroark as the 6th pokemon. That kind of takes away the whole point in using it.
-KRICKETUNE SWEEP
-Everything else isn't that major (like flare blitz flash fire ninetales)

If it stops bouncing it dies, murderer.
I knew where that was going as soon as I saw it and knew it was going to be good.
To add to this topic:
- Dunsparce trying to Headbutt Ferrothorn to KO. 3% hits, 22.5% recoils (Life Orb, Iron Barb). He could have switched out at any time too.
I'm pretty sure the better player was using a joke team. The other guy, I hope was trolling but pretty sure was just a noob...
Some weird shit.
Mega Aggron used Blizzard
Tyranitar with Unnerve
Skarmory used Aerial Ace..it's not that Drill Peck is weaker
Mixed Lucario (Dark Pulse + Bullet Punch)
Lunatone + Blizzard
Espeon + Psybeam
Aaaand this http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-92473956
It features some weird shit like,
Emolga with Thunder + Thunderbolt + Volt Switch
Espeon with Future Sight and Synchronoise (the last one on a Heatran)
Breloom with Energy Ball - DAT 60 SpA against Heatran
edit// Why is Blizzard so overused? Ice Beam is much better outside of Hail Storm...

What can I say, a mega chomp in rain using aqua tail against a mega ampharos. Seemed about legit.
A mixed Alakazam, with Psyshock, Drain Punch, Iron Tail, and another move. And it didn't have magic guard.
Now here comes the worst:
I saw two DIFFERENT people with a plain, non-mega, charizard. And they both had mega kick!!! I know charizard's base attack isn't horrible (84 I think), but there are so many other options, like flare blitz and wing attack.
EDIT: I just saw another charizard with iron tail before I killed it. Is physical charizard becoming a "thing" now?
