Silly Things You've Seen In Other Metagames

Maybe if I keep hitting Electivire Wonder Guard will stop working!
Wouldn't he have to hit it with 'Magikarp's Revenge' to make sure it can live the sheer power of its revenge? The Electivire IS ELECTRIC!!! Why can't I hit it with super-effective ground moves? And what is an Air Balloon?

Arghonaut vs. the world. (And by the world, I mean a team of Eeveelutions.)
Solar Beam Leafeon. Guys, 60 base Special Attack is not worth wasting both a move and your item on. If you really feel the need to run a Special attack on Leafeon, just use Leaf Storm, and give it something reasonable like Leftovers, Life Orb, Expert Belt, or Assault Vest. Or Choice Scarf/Choice Band and just spam Leaf Blade off of its 110 base Attack.

Also, trying to use Aqua Jet on a Leafeon. Not only does it resist it, but with 130 base Defence you aren't getting very far using any physical move that isn't SE or boosted.
 
Allow me to regale you with a tale from the very early days of Gen VI balanced hackmons where most of the current major threats were yet to be discovered. It was a time when I was watching two players battle and one gave up and left. And then, on a whim, I took over and actually won. I also quickly learned that playing with someone else's team is really weird.

For reference, I take over the right player on turn 31.
