Other Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder: V2

[The Fennec Fox]

I know this isn't OU, but;

I once faced a challenger that had a team full of Ubers (I don't think he may have played competitive yet ) and had Shadow Force, Hyper Beam and Fly Giratina.

I found a Giga drain and Thunderbolt one. It did have spikes though.

Thunderbolt Ferrothorn is a... wierd thought.

Why bother using 3 mon teams?

Same reason they do it on wifi. "well uh battle spot makes me use 3 so you can only use 3 LEARN THE RULES U SCRUB"

The opponent bringing Chesnaught in on said Mandibuzz.

Ok? Mandibuzz never use a flying STAB and he might have wanted to Leech Seed it?

Bulky X-zard is a standard set and typically runs WoW/Dragon Claw/EQ/Roost so it isn't silly.

I know X-zard goes bulky, but I didn't realize it didn't carry, like, Fire Punch.

Ok? Mandibuzz never use a flying STAB and he might have wanted to Leech Seed it?

Well, she did use BB prior to Chesnaught coming in...

Same reason they do it on wifi. "well uh battle spot makes me use 3 so you can only use 3 LEARN THE RULES U SCRUB"

The only problem with that is it was OU, which is 6v6, not 3v3.

 

[RotomPoison]

Well, I hope you realize that's what a lot of people on the ladder ACTUALLY say/do. They know that but have what I call "Verlisify Follower Disease"

Well, this was retarded

Release The Kraken!

Iron Tail/Zen Headbutt Alakazam
Leftovers Alakazam
Confusion Mewtwo. Fucking. Confusiion.
WHO IN THE NAME OF PALUTENA DOES THAT?
Oh, and not having the decency to forfeit and D/Cing instead. Pussy

 

[PrincessGardevoir]

I'm back with more replays from the bottom of the Ubers tier, where idiots are common as flies are at a picnic.

Using an OU team in Ubers, against a 1 mon team of Gyarados (also in Ubers). Guess who forfeits first.


http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-116194856
Wish Mega-Absol, TWO Sing Double STAB Sylveon, Vaporeon, Carbink, Calm Mind EQ Arceus-Fairy, Clawitzer, and the legendary Mixed Squirtle in Ubers as well. Also, Quick Caw Outrage Rayquaza on Sylveon without knowing about Sleep Clause.

Non Mega-Zard with Aerial Ace, Weavile, Also non-mega Lucario I believe, and Eelektross.

Turn 26

The opposing Toxicroak used Gunk Shot!
Azumarill avoided the attack!

Azumarill used Play Rough!
A critical hit! The opposing Toxicroak lost 70.2% of its health!

The opposing Toxicroak fainted!
CryoAxes: nooooo

CryoAxes sent out Cresselia!
Pointed stones dug into the opposing Cresselia!
Turn 27
CryoAxes: HAX
Touymato: Oh, come on. If you don't want to miss.
Touymato: Use Sludge Bomb.

Should have said in the chat: "Like it mattered."

Not to rain on your parade, but Sludge Bomb is special. Unless you meant Poison Jab.

Blast Burn charizard
Hidden Power Bisharp
Dazzling Gleam Blissey

Bisharp can use Hidden Power Grass to KO Quasire after a Knock Off. I think it needs Life Orb and some SpA EVs, but it's completely legit and was recommended on the Victory Road thread.

Are you serious?? My whole life has changed.

No, it doesn't work. (who cares about Quagsire anyway)

Mostly RU/uu team beats mostly OU team.

Double Edge/ Hyper Beam/ Roost/ Thunder Zapdos, Overheat/Flamethrower Moltres any other sleeper OU threats.

Just because your Scizor KO'd half their team doesn't let you win with shitty teammates.



Quits when his Bisharp is burned by a Sigilyph
Glare Serperior, Leftovers Mawile, Curse, Gyro Ball Emboar on one team(Both players left before the match ended so no replay)
Forfeit when Staraptor outspeeds and KO's +1 DDnite

5-1 Shedninja sweep.
Honestly, at a certain point people could go looking what Wonder Guard does.

 

[Yayz]

Thought so

Actually...
252+ Atk Life Orb Bisharp Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Quagsire: 175-208 (44.4 - 52.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
24 SpA Life Orb Bisharp Hidden Power Grass vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Quagsire: 224-265 (56.8 - 67.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
44.4 + 56.8 = 101.2
With an Att+ and Special neutral nature, Bisharp can 2HKO Quagsire with 24 special attack EVs. So that's something to consider.

Or what "immune" means. He used Earth Power on him twice. =/ (incidentally, why is it a trend for new people to use EP Excadrill?)

It was Drill Run. Also, a not-Mold Breaker Excadrill witout sand.

With all the times he used Rest, I think he might have fallen asleep at the end, considering he timed out.

Oh I guess it was drill run. Well, my question still stands, that battle just isn't an example of it lol

Nahhh because then quagsire attacks with scald burn or EQ

4 Atk Quagsire Earthquake vs. 32 HP / 0 Def Bisharp: 188-224 (67.3 - 80.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Still, I guess HP Grass could work, but it's not worth passing up Iron Head/Swords Dance/Low Kick/Knock Off/Sucker Punch or anything really.

I use Bisharp on all my OU teams, so I don't HP grass is that worth it
