Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder!
- Thread starter MrEon
- Start date
While locking into a move isnt the best thing for aegislash, choice specs is a perfectly viable item for it. Its shadow ball nukes when backed by specs. Unless of course, it was physical. THEN it becomes silly.
So I go into my Tyranitar and my opponent sends out an Espeon. (his team looks normal too) While I got an error trying to save the replay, here is the relevant log:
-TTar and Espeon are on the field on turn 4. Espeon just switched into a missed Stone Edge-
Opponent uses Psychic while I go for Stone Edge again, (and miss) bluffing a choice item and because I don't use this alt for laddering and didn't care. I guess he predicted a switch?
I just use Pursuit on him as he tries to switch out, and he says:
"wait so you hit me on a switch does that mean you hacked the game or a bug"
I reply:
"pursuit will hit you and deal double damage on a switch"
He then replies:
"no but did you hack or is it a bug"
So... yeah... 10 turns later he sends out a Rotom-W against my Hippowdon, and this time says:
"ugh again stop man"
He then uses Volt Switch 5 times and eventually dies due to Sand damage.
"STOP MAKING MY MOVES MISS ITS A PERFECT ACCURACY"
(sorry for the shit formatting)
Finale:
Score is 5-1, his Talonflame vs my Hippowdon. He goes for Ember. He then forfeits for "not doing enougn damage"

Terrakion sweep, not too sure what is up with the other guy's team:

He said he love to use air balloon.
in the same battle...
Rain Dance is Latios's only way of beating Tyranitar on the switch, in tandem with Water Gem. Although, the opponent is using Rocket Helmet, which I cannot account for...
Guess who Original is? Ambipom? No. This guy ------------>

You know you're about to spectate a shitfest when you see a team with Fearow, Kadabra, and Haunter on it.

The funny part is that the guy with Fearow, Kadabra, and Haunter won.
Also praise the almighty Dragon Rage Gyarados!
Obviously this is to beat Mold Breaker Haxorus with Taunt one on one
Wouldn't mental herb Aromatisse be better for that?
If only it got Magic Coat.
I just saw a team with an Ambipom. And a Pikachu. And NOTHING ELSE.

Banned deucer.
The scariest part of this is that the guy with the Ambipom and the Pikachu had a rating of 1045 before the game. Meaning that he had won at least one game.
I do not think that is "scary". He may have just faced some other joke team for his first match.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-74258013 This was posted in the chat. The Zard set really got me.
EDIT: By got me I mean that it really made me wonder what he was on when he came up with it.

Dragon Dance with Dragon Claw has better utility, since you increase speed and power in one turn. Besides, he was using the Charizard incorrect. Why didn't he Dragon Rush the Jolteon?
Not just that, there were also 4 pokemon combined that should never be in OU. Also, DDance+DClaw is much better, I agree. IDK why he didn't Dragon Rush the Jolteon.

Here's another one by me, this time on the Inverse Battlefront. People always think they can get away with standard teams there.
