Silly Things You've Seen In Other Metagames

[Zephyr Dragon Lord]

Okay seriously, is Mix and Mega just that attractive to bad players, or is it just the perfect example of people not knowing anything about the meta they're playing?

Both.

That Charizardite X Staraptor is glorious, by the way. Almost as much as that Latiasite Crobat, which is gold, and meme-worthy.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-470870976
What is even left's movesets in this match. Also, this has got to be the stupidest thing...

the worst move

Xerneas used Horn Leech!
It's not very effective... The opposing Heatran lost 3% of its health!

I don't understand

Yep, will do.

That's not how you use Haze

[L] Three Ghost types that do approximately the same thing is probably not a good team composition.
[L] Tries to Will-O-Wisp a Servine... that's pretty obviously going to try and put up a Sub.
[L] Spite Dusknoir. Also, it's pointless to do that on something burned.
[L] The Dusknoir also uses Haze on Florges. No, not everything is going to set up on you.
[L] This.
★wroth: how did you go first
Is.
★wroth: i was scarfed
Incredibly.
★piikiki4: Did you use Roar?
DUMB.
★wroth: oh yeah lol
[Both] How is that Aggron faster than Servine..? Is it ALSO scarved?
All this leads to a Sevine sweep.

Now then, I consulted the RNG lords. ...They gave me a Dustox. So I tried to make the most of the team I was given... so here's a few matches from them.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-472168339
The best way to deal with Entei is clearly to get burned and then get a crit Facade. Also, Diancite Espeon is questionable.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-472170673
Gourgiest is confirmed Groudon counter, people forgetting about Latiasite, and Skarmory taking on a Metagross.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-472176372
Night Shade Mega Banette. Also, my opponent getting impatient, and silly Aegislash playing, too.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-472236160
Unfortunately quite short, as the person forfeits after his first mon falls. A Rock Tomb Steelixite Tyranitar.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-472238142
Special Primal Groudon (okay...) Special Mega Gyarados (really dumb, but you already knew that) and a Swoobat sweep.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-472241476
This is quite possibly the dumbest Gengar fight out there. Also, it has both Shadow Ball and Dark Pulse. Also, another Levitate fail. Someone can take this one if they want.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-472244729
A pretty intense match where the team manages to hold its own.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/mixandmega-472250225
An even more intense match that comes down to a pretty strange showdown...

EDIT:

(On a good note, someone finally found a good use of Talonflame in MnM...)

[R] Lopunny. It gets worse from there.
[L] Fake Out + Fire Blast.
[R] Non-mega Magnezone.
[R] Non-mega Tyranitar.
[L] Venusaurite Yanmega. I can see where this guy is going but 86/94/126/138/76/95 isn't very viable.
[R] Non-mega Lopunny using Thunderbolt.
[L] Banettite Talonflame is actually pretty good.
[R] RestTalk Kyurem-B.
[R] ...when it wakes up it uses Outrage on the Klefki.
[L] Also, Sablenite Klefki is subpar, sitting at 57 base HP.
[R] Iron Head Dialga. He obviously didn't notice the glaring 150 SpA he could've used. Well, he does, utilizing Blizzard.
[L] Switches in Absol (now a Fairy) when the Dialga revealed a Steel type move.
[L] Latiosite Raikou.
[R] AURA SPHERE.
[L] Hidden Power Ice. He sweeps with it because Tyranitar spams Earthquake when it obviously has Levitate.

What about that sunfloria on left?
Also, on the d-nite one, why is he using Dragon dance when he could be going for smashing his enemies? for that matter, why isn't that spore breloom?
Same goes for SD Zard X; why would you do such a thing (especially when you're mixed at best), cause in 1v1 immediate power is pretty much the name of the game.

Oh, you are simply the best. You found a great one.

[R] Wobbuffet. Why are you using this in Mix and Mega please stop
[L] The three tried and true Unova starters on one team. You could do worse.
[L] Mixed Blazikenite Emboar is a thought.
[R] Slowbronite Aggron is a far worse thought.
[R] Metagrossite Ninjask is good...
[R] ...But not when you're using Façade on an Emboar.
[R] Red Orb Hoopa is actually pretty neat. Minus the fact you need to go mixed/physical.
[L] Samurott gets bopped by a good play. To be fair, you don't have many switches.
[L] Luarionite Nidoqueen checks out.
[R] HERACRONIE WOBBUFFET.
[Both] Wobbuffet KOs something without trapping. What.
[L] Flash Cannon Mega Mawile.
[R] Mewtwonite X Rampardos. You know, for those times when you want to destroy the world?
[L] Sceptilite Serperior... uses Magical Leaf. It was underwhelming.
[L] Why did you heat Wave a Rampardos?
[R] Alakazite Chandleure.

(R) Chesnaught then decides to spam Drain Punch on Deoxys instead of maybe putting up more Spikes.
(R) Air Balloon Magnet Rise Probopass. God help us all if Rotom-S ever gets Magnet Rise.
(L) Deoxys-A uses Extreme Speed on Sylveon. Pretty sure you don't need priority here. Predictably, it promptly dies to Hyper Voice.

(L) Dragon Claw Arceus-Water. While bad enough on its own, he makes it even worse by using it on Sylveon.

[L] This is an RNG team even more than my own breed. This ought to be good.

[R] That Lopunny has both Jump Kick AND High Jump Kick. It uses both on a Shedinja.
[R] Draco Meteors, obliterating that Stantler. I'm not going to call that a prediction.
[L] Altarinite Lunimeon, with a pretty good set of moves.
[R] What do you do to a Lumineon? Fire Blast it with an Audino. It later reveals Draining Kiss.
[R] Also, that Audino is just the regular mega, when it has so many better stones to use.
[L] TYRANITARITE Gorebyss. That's a whole next level of silly.
[R] Jirachi Drain Punches and Dazzling Gleams that Accelgor. Don't you have STAB?
[R] Rayquaza uses Overheat to finish off a weak Accelgor, which was a big mistake..
[L] ...When Sharpedonite Shaymin proceeds to stall out the rest of the team.
