Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder!

Well, at least he won't have to recharge... which is moot because he's at 20%.
um
Anyway, here's a shoutout to the guy I battled a few months back who named himself and all of his team "Hodor"... better GoT characters much?
Haunter lead. I lead with my Blissey (since their team was packed with Ubers). Haunter's moves in order of use: Confuse Ray, Dream Eater, Shadow Ball, Switch. Note he outsped my Blissey so there was no chance of me getting in a rest before him.
Similar thing happened to me, except a Flygon Hyper Beamed my Blissey, who of course ate it, dropped some Toxic, and asked for seconds.
um
There's so many idiotic things to that...
Using flygon is bad enough, but using it in OU? Also who uses hyper beam, like at all. ESPECIALLY on blissey...

Why did that Lapras not have Fissure? It gets 3 OHKO moves for crying out loud.
Not on OU ladder, but I battled some random guy at GameStop last night while waiting in line for Black Friday.
As soon as I saw a Pidgeot on Team Preview, I knew this was going to be an easy win. His Pidgeot then used Fly. Twice. And then, his Tyrantrum used Giga Impact on my M-Mawile. It did a quarter health damage. I set up with a Swords Dance, and swept his team easily.

Maybe he didn't realize it was a Trick Room team? They aren't exactly common. And he didn't know how slow all those mons already are?
Yeah, I'm sort of grasping at straws here...
That's nothing. AIR BALLOON ROTOM-SPIN, AIN'T HITTIN' ME WITH NO GROUND MOVES
That set is actually a common set in random battles. It's awful

* Cough * Smack Down eliminates all those factors * Cough *
I saw that set on a Dewgong in the Battle Tower in Gen 4. The set was Rest, Sleeptalk, Sheer Cold, Horn Drill. Of course the CPU luckerdawg'd and OHKO'd all my pokemon without having problems with accuracy when it mattered.
Triple Immunity to ground moves FTW!

It's just like Stunfisk, only better! It's so beautiful ;ω;
Had to post it.
btw @AOPS I dunno cuz he didn't live very long. xD

I was testing my new team on an alt and came across these:
-HP Fire Jolteon (killed my Genesect but that's about it)
-Non mega Ampharos
-An Articuno insisting on using Freeze-dry... against a Heatran... on a team entirely weak to SR (no word on whether there was a defogger, but there was definitely no spinner)
-A Glaceon on that same team using Snow Cloak and manual hail. Yeah, it's not under the evasion clause but that doesn't mean it's smart. Oh, and Snow Cloak failed to activate.
Then on my normal account, I saw a Rotom-W trick a scarf onto my Celebi... only to take it back a few turns later and immediately die.
Edit: And then there was the guy who told me, "Your Genesect should be red." Why?
It doesn't have any event moves...

Flash Cannon on a god damn scizor I mean wut? Unique is cool but it crosses the line.
I was just spectating a match. One guy had an edited avatar to look like Ash. The comments made about his avatar were quite vulgar (but hilarious).
Anyway, the guy Ash was facing had a Power Herb Solarbeam Delphox (yes Magician gimmick set, and he ranted about not using smogon to decided on creative sets) and Ash had an Extremespeed Genesect who could've KO'd Delphox in one hit with U-turn....

Short match, just let the battle and the chat speak for itself. xD
