Quick claw+explosion. That bullshit always works when the scrubs want to.

Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder!

You mean focus blast right? Cuz I don't think terrak gets aura sphere.. If it did, I probs would've used special terrakion more
Terrakion doesn't get Power Gem either... he might've been talking about STABmons or so, idk why he would tho
The foe's Sableye used Metronome!
And guess what it turned into?
Waggling a finger let it use AncientPower!
Rotom-Wash lost 9.2% of its health!
The foe's Sableye's Attack rose!
The foe's Sableye's Defense rose!
The foe's Sableye's Special Attack rose!
The foe's Sableye's Special Defense rose!
The foe's Sableye's Speed rose!
Thunder / Dragon Pulse / Body Slam / Crunch (I think it was Crunch) Tyranitar.
I saw someone post a team with Sub / Toxic / FBlast / Scald Rocky Helmet Keldeo and ChestoRest Hydration Vaporeon on a team with Drizzle Toed.

Air balloon Gyarados...
Watching a friend ladder and then I saw the best thing ever, banded Latias. <3
That shit worked too, luring Tyranitar and nearly OHKO it with Outrage. Makes me want to try out a physical Latios tbqh. Also saw that Liepard assist team, it was silly but it somewhat worked. I guess. :|

Run Away With Me
Some weird ones I've seen are Physical Latios, Mixed Keldeo, CM Terrak, Balloon Tar, Specs Ferro..
I'd say the worst was on the OU Current ladder a few weeks ago, I went 3 straight battles where the opponent had at least 2 quick claw users per team. And that's keeping in mind that they might not have all activated. Stuff like Haxorus, Ttar, Dnite, Forry, Celebi all had quick claws; it was like an epidemic.

I saw an Electric Gem Pikachu once. Poor guy must not have realized what Light Ball does....

Please, explain why you think either of these are silly.
Even SD U-Turn Scizor isn't really that silly.
None of these are bad.
Expert Belt Latios still its hard while potentially netting 2 KOs thanks to switch in's thinking they can take a resisted attack, like Ferrothorn and Scizor
Dugtrio is a staple on must Sun teams and eliminates Jirachi and Tyranitar, easily putting you at an advantage.
SD U-turn Scizor is often used by tournament players to catch their opponents off guard. You bluff the Banded set until late game where you sweep with +2.
I'm surprised you think these sets (out of all the sets I've seen on the ladder) are silly.

I've seen wish pass salamence on the ladder. I suppose it presents the surprise factor to catch your opponents off guard. http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/oususpecttest-45003792
I've also seen lead garchomp with hp ice (does only ~60% to landorus- t) http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-50097916

wait, what? Ebelt Latios is quite a legit set. Dugtio is OU and a staple in many sun and rain teams. SD U-turn Scizor is odd, but is featured on one of those really good Deo-s teams in the archive so I wouldnt say its totally unviable.

I ran into someone using Air Balloon Dragonite and Air Balloon Salamence. Now before you say "You can avoid the EQ when you Roost." neither one of them had Roost.
And yesterday...
The foe's Tyranitar's Quick Claw let it move first!
Latias used Surf!
A critical hit! It's super effective! The foe's Tyranitar lost 77% of its health!
Latias lost some of its HP!
The foe's Tyranitar used Dragon Tail!
It's super effective! Latias lost 35.3% of its health!
