POKEMON DERPDOWN, FORMERLY: POKEMON DERPDOWN UBERS VS. NOTAPPROPRIATEFORUBERS Options

[Rhiannon]

POST ANY POKEMONS REPLAYS HERE THIS USED TO BE MORE SPECIFIC

It all started when I used my RU team in UU because I hate the UU team I made. It went way better than it does even in RU. So I next tried it in OU and worked well. Then I decided to try it in Ubers for kicks and giggles, and the giggles were so great. PPA GOT IN ON IT TOO AFTER MY FIRST FIGHT AND ALSO HAD GREAT FUN HERE ARE OUR EPIC REPLAYS.

MY FIRST UBERS FIGHT (THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL): http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53221728
I DUNNO THIS WAS JUST NICE: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53225904
Don't make your tanks female (also Darkrai probably would have lost even if the guy didn't disappear): http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53227128
A PRETTY CLEAR VICTORY: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53229394
THE BEST COMEDY: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53232796

I also have no idea how fast/strong any of these Ubers Pokeymanz are supposed to be because I do not bother looking at their stats very often. Also my Hitmonlee had the wrong item for at least one of these. Supposed to be a Red Card. :( NOW WE WAIT FOR PPA'S

SMALL BACKLOG OF STUFF FROM BEFORE I TOOK A BREAK FROM POKEMON:

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-66918128 - I have no idea why this guy forfeited. None at all. I GUESS THE SHEER TERROR BROUGHT BY A CHOICE SCARF DESTINY BOND FROSLASS SPOOKED HIM TOO MUCH
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-66919486 - There was a very small period where I messed with Mega Aggron. Mega Aggron's loss of its Rock type upon transition lets it do some silly mindgame stuff. Also Goodra cleanup.

After this point I took my break. When I came back to Pokemon the other day, I deleted all my teams and decided to start fresh. Then new UU happened. New UU has too many things that I feel forced into building for and I know I can't keep them all in check.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-74533752 - VS RHIA. First iteration of the current team I'm running. HAS A SWAGSIRE BATTLE IN THE MIDDLE. Also the eventual return of Cafetot, my old 4th gen Chatot, except with a new toy.

MEGUMI NAKAJIMA.: ASAPH I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BUT NOW CHATOT IS CONFUSED
MEGUMI NAKAJIMA.: AND IT'S OVER

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-74760677 - VS VAHN. Quite literally the worst stall battle I've played, ever. ALSO RAI TOOK OVER LIKE HALFWAY THROUGH BECAUSE VAHN GOT TIRED AND DIDN'T FORFEIT CORRECTLY. Also Vahn's Absol confirmed for gutter tier. Didn't even proc Focus Sash. :/

At this point I decided I wanted to make a different team and try to avoid using Pokemon I'd used a lot as of then-recently, like Quagsire and Whimsicott. Quagsire gets replaced by Gastrodon, Rotom gets replaced by Jellicent, and Mienshao gets replaced by Mega Medicham. Whimsicott returns because of Manaphy existing in UU, and Ditto is too clutch to pass up. Also I really fucking love Chatot at this point.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/uubeta-74826910 - SAP SIPPER INTO ENCORE LOCK. BEST.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-74829854 - I TOOK THE TEAM TO UBERS... where apparently Extremespeed doesn't exist on things that I thought got it. This fight was hard though. Too many times I thought I lost just to find out I was faster than something or he didn't have Extremespeed.

So while all this was going on, the IRC channel was abuzz with theorycraft to handle all the UU threats. I don't remember who brought it up (might have been me actually), but I mentioned that Mantine gets Mirror Coat and thus can serve as a check to Manaphy. RHIA WAS EXCITED, ASAPH WAS PROBABLY MAD. I put it aside then. THE NEXT DAY I DECIDED TO TRY IT OUT. THUS ENTERS TEAM VERSION 3.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/uubeta-75087073 - I like this fight a lot, even though it degrades into extremely heavy stall. Mantine actually gets used quite a bit, even though a lot of it is just switching purposes. IT GETS TO RECOVER OFF SCALDS AND THAT IS AWESOME. Also that guy didn't complain about the retarded stallfest so he gets props for that. Cool guy. Would not mind playing again.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/uubeta-75090214 - More for the chat, where Rai mentions him liking this guy's team, and this guy thinking I'm Rai. ALSO THIS GUY THINKS MY TEAM IS INTERESTING. Mantine underperforms here, but Krookodile picks up the weight.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/uubeta-75099132 - ENEMY CAFETOT. Except his owner didn't know what he was doing. ALSO MANTINE KILLING SOME PEOPLE WITH NOT-MIRROR COAT. Also that ending was really weird. Lost the speed coinflip, but because we both used Sucker Punch, I technically won the speed coinflip.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/uubeta-75113247 - DITTO SWEEP. Also, this battle will probably be the time where my Ditto's name is most appropriate.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/uubeta-75113822 - MANTINE VS. FLORGES. Also Ditto picking up the Flygon and Stealth Rock finish. Mantine vs Florges was really silly though because I KNEW he'd eventually attack into the Mirror Coat. It was just a matter of when. Also, for those curious:

+6 252 SpA Florges Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Mantine: 316-373 (94.6 - 111.6%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

Although my Mantine isn't 252+ on SpD.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/uubeta-75114680 - CHATOT PARTIAL SWEEP. Also Slowbro is really hard to fight for some reason. Ditto pulled through though.

Mantine consensus: I LIKE MANTINE. A LOT. ALTHOUGH IT CAN'T TAKE ANY SORT OF ELECTRIC ATTACK AT ALL. MANTINE EFFECT AND WHATNOT.
