Smogon Replay Vault 2.0 - Submissions (UPDATE POST #69)

1. Replay 1
2.turns 8-15 are the funniest.
3.I forget to tera my slither wing and am in a completely losing position but manage to KO the coalossal without getting burned. My opponent then blunders by hitting my scarfed passimian with a parting shot, completely losing the game.
4.Please highlight the ratings at the end of the battle. If you're viewing this replay for the first time please try to guess the ratings before the end, then feel free to laugh when you see them!

1. Replay 2
2.Please highlight turns 3-8 as they are the most entertaining.
3.I'm in a horrible position as I have no counters for banded Chien Pao, so I go into mew and try to chip with hydro pump(my best move to hit pao). My opponent goes into their camerupt and due to my agency soul read(real) I predict this and hydro pump, KOing it on the spot. A few turns later my mew is in against a +2 speed stonjourner. I know that they know that I have hydro pump, and will switch out if they choose not to tera or are tera ground, and if they choose to stay in and not tera(or are tera steel and tera) then I can KO them with earth power(which they don't know I have.) They tera steel and heavy slam me and due to my second agency soul read(real) of the match they drop instantly (a 93.8% chance to KO from full but it's guaranteed with life orb recoil). I go on to beat their pao with my pikachu and win the game with specs miraidon.
4.Please highlight the chat messages between my opponent and myself.


1. Replay 3
2.Turns 24-26 are the best, but the rest of the game after that is also pretty good. Please also highlight turn 1 as it's important.
3.The opposing ceruledge tera's into a fighting type and CCs my golduck, KOing it. I send in my calyrex against it, knowing that my opponent knows that while they 2HKO with shadow sneak and OHKO with bitter blade, I also OHKO with psyshock. They switch out into their alolan raichu as I psyshock, and then encore them, predicting them to nasty plot. I CM on the switch into brute bonnet, then CM on the switch again to dragalgae as I'm certain by now that they don't have crunch from the way they played it earlier and it's scarfed from when I tricked it earlier in the game on turn 1. I then psyshock the dragalgae and my opponent forfeits.
4.Nothing specific to highlight here other than my requests for the turns.

1. Replay 4(I remembered this one after)
2.At the editor's discretion. The whole thing is pretty goofy.
3.I have no counters to basculin, so I flail around like a dying magikarp before somehow doing it in with my squakabilly. My opponent then brings out their iron bundle and KO's my billy, so I send in tusk and spin on the switch to grumping, then tera steeling and headlong rush into dgleam. after a second headlong rush(and one KO'd grumpig) my opponent sends in sableye, which I predict to wisp, so I switch into typhlosion and get the flash fire boost. Now effectively a specs+scarf mon, I eruption as they thunder wave. Iron bundle comes in but flip turns into corv as I eruption again, saving me the game as now the bundle has to hydro pump to KO my typhlosion, allowing tusk to CC and win.
4. I guess it's skill but I thought that this replay was hilarious so....

1. Replay 5
2. Turns 3-17 and turns 25-26
3. A stupidly improbable amount of no para, followed up by a draco miss from my opponent and a turn 1 nasty plot read.
4. Uhh you can put the chat messages if you want

Note:I'm not sure if these would violate the no low ladder/skill rule(I think replay 3 is probably the one that toes the line the most as there isn't a ton of humour in it) but I hope that anyone who sees these at least has a good laugh.

turns 28 till the end (technically can skip turn 28 and go to turn 29)
Miraidon wins the speed tie and all it has to deal with is a measly Orthworm! Surely it can do that despite being at -2 SpA and Orthworm being behind light screen, right? ...right?

(this was for Ubers ssnl if it matters and both players are top level tournament players!)

Turns 11-12,26-27
My luck was just insane here. I'm still trying to feel out pokemon for a steady team and still relatively new to Showdown, so I actually played pretty poorly. But the RNG just didn't want me to lose. Somehow I managed to spring an Aurora Veil at 1% HP and then my Glastrier woke up to execute a game-winning Icicle Crash... I'm sure my opponent was like :quagchamppogsire:

It happened to me, in the endgame Zamazenta flinches four times in a row just to defeat Houndstone in the fifth attack and manages to win the round

:zamazenta: :Houndstone:
We will discuss about this a bit more; for now it's a "maybe".
All the other submissions after Samirsin's latest post (post #58) have not been reviewed yet; we will discuss them in the following days and I'll update y'all.

Thanks everyone for your submissions so far! As usual s/o to WigglyTree for the videos :3
 
for some reason I'm making another contribution to this thread because I remembered another silly little replay that I had buried

1. Big silly number 6
2. Turn 24 onward
3. I forget to tera my volc(a consistent brainfart of mine) and get lucky by my opponent missing a stone edge as I Quiver dance. Next turn I promptly tera water and QD as my opponent stone edges again(and hits). I QD again as my opponent tera fighting's and BPs my volc and gets burned. Then I take the KO with bug buzz. My opponent brings in specs dragapult. I'm lost here because my opponent can click draco and win so I click bug buzz, but by some divine miracle they click shadow ball and I live on 0.4% HP. I then bug buzz again to take the win that I totally deserved and didn't bs my way through.
4. Chat is kind of funny. The messages are simple but the "No" from my opponent at the end says it all.

:floette-blue::sableye::umbreon::magneton::komala::sneasel-hisui: vs :sandaconda::mesprit::jolteon::zoroark::sneasel-hisui::cryogonal:
1. (click for replay)
2 . Turns 54 - 89
3. Floette and Cryogonal (eventually Tera-Poison) trade recovery and very weak attacks. two special walls enter. one comes out. nobody has fun here, and both mons hang onto the edge of life several times.
4. calculated by my opponent, the odds of Floette not getting frozen by all 32 freeze-drys was impressive​

1. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-1809616894
2. Entire Battle (Turn 1)
3. The fastest emotional rollercoaster I've ever experienced in mons, in a relatively high-ladder Metronome Battle. Opponent pulls an often-game-losing Final Gambit immediately, then gets even more unlucky with a full para, then I pull the worst move possible and suddenly the Final Gambit proves useful. Also worth mentioning that my Ting-Lu had a decent (3/8) chance to survive the boom, rubbed in by the opposing one getting a low enough roll.
4. Besides making it clear that it's Metronome, I think it all speaks for itself.
 
Time to post number 3 lol

1. Big silly number 7
2. Turn 9 to turn 17
3. Sucker punch mind games who? No, this was a soul read unlike any other.
4. Please highlight the chat, the opponent's reaction is the best(if you see this I'm sorry)

Ladder game

Double Freeze Turn 1 and 2,
then after vap locks em into a stalemate Obama wrecks most of my team, I thaw and miss fire blast + stone edge after a crit from them.

every single turn that couldve been hax against me did happen.
T1-12 because I had nothing for obama + ogre after and ff'd

Chat was funny because we both couldn't understand what that was
