Pioneer_King's team:Serperior / Crawdaunt / Genesect-* / Absol / Infernape / Suicune
Magic_Mustache444's team:Shuckle / Aegislash / Mantine / Conkeldurr / Avalugg / Hippowdon
(L) Genesect as a god, period. Its highest stats (Atk and SpA) are base 120, meaning that Arceus completely outclasses it.
(L) Genesect takes the Defense slot (base 95), not the HP slot (base 71). This actually hinders the Serperior placed there.
(L)
Absol in the SpA slot. Its Mega form has 110 SpA iirc, which barely gives it any boost at all. Leave that slot to Serperior.
(L) Crawdaunt...
in the Attack slot.
(R) Aegislash as a god. At least they use it right-- buffing a couple of lopsided walls with it-- but 50/50/150/50/150/50 just isn't much to work with.
(R) Mantine. When will people learn that Eviolite Mantyke outclasses it smh
(L) Scald/Ice Beam/Extrasensory Suicune in the Speed slot. Put your Crawdaunt there. Its opponent is...
(R) Stone Edge/
Giga Impact Hippowdon, which stays in and gets KO'd. No switching to Conkeldurr in hopes of a Scald burn?
(R) Sends out Avalugg to "revenge kill" Suicune. Not a possible Guts Conkeldurr. Not even Mantine, which has two Abilities (Water Absorb and Water Veil) protecting it from Scald burns, the only thing it should be worried about. Just... Avalugg.
(L) Fails to capitalize on their opponent's bad decision by, instead of fishing for a burn, using Extrasensory twice and then switching out.
(L) Switching in Infernape in general
(R) Avalugg reveals Hail... and then Gyro Ball. The other two moves are okay, though (and at least it has Ice Body).
(L) This:
★Pioneer_King: hurry up
★Pioneer_King: dang
Pioneer_King sent out Genesect (Genesect-Shock)!
(R) Avalugg stays in and goes for... Gyro Ball. Right.
(L) Genesect-Shock reveals a mixed set with Techno Blast and Iron Head. Shock Drive is a terrible item for it because it gets Thunderbolt anyway.
(L)
SWITCHES OUT GENESECT TO KO AVALUGG WITH BRICK BREAK CRAWDAUNT
(L) ...which fails, leaving the destroyer of the
Titanic at 1%. It does 33% with an Earthquake before getting KO'd.
(R) Leaves Mantine in on Genesect, which takes surprisingly little (52%) from 4x Techno Blast.
(L) "Mach Punch Conkeldurr? Better revenge kill it with my 19% Suicune!"
(L) Miracle Seed Serperior is certainly questionable, although it's not even close to the silliest thing here. No, that goes to...
Not only was Crawdaunt placed in the wrong spot, it revealed Brick Break, which provided almost no new coverage, and had less power against even a super effective target than Adaptability boosted Knock Off. It was also played extremely stupidly.
We hope you enjoyed this episode of Silly Things You've Seen In Other Metagames! Have a silly (?) day!
