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

[Raijinili]

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

[Raijinili]

THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA RHIA. Playing in Ubers turned out to be very fun, since if you lose, it's often against overwhelming odds. Taking that into account, instead of fearing defeat and disappointment, I rather enjoy putting up a good fight—and am all the more proud if I actually win.

I am surprised by how slow many of these Ubers are, though. My Starmie and Choice Scarfed Gardevoir have no trouble outspeeding most of them.

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FIRST BATTLES IN OU, I STILL STRUGGLED AGAINST KYOGRE: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53223004
THIS GUY HAD A SIMILARLY INAPPROPRIATE TEAM, PROBABLY ONLY IN UBERS BECAUSE OF BALZIKEN: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53224427
WEEZING DOING WHAT IT DOES BEST—BURNING ENTRY HAZARD SETTERS AND RUINING STAT MODIFIERS: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53225262
I GOT RUSED BY AN ARCEUS-GHOST NICKNAMED ARCEUS-DARK: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53226374
NARROWLY WON, NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT IT: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53228996

At this point I decided that Kingler was of no use, and borrowed Rhia's Quagsire build instead, changing only its ability. I also traded Starmie's and Weezing's Thunderbolt for Thunder, and Gardevoir's Energy Ball for Grass Knight, both to better deal with Kyogre. Thunder on Weezing proved just too unreliable though, so I later changed that back.

QUAGSIRE'S FIRST APPEARANCE JUST SAW IT DEFEATED BEFORE IT COULD DO ANYTHING HOWEVER, BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALISE GARDEVOIR'S POTENTIAL EARLY ENOUGH: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53238115
THIS JERK USED A CHEAP, UNFAIR STRATEGY; BUT CLEFAIRY AND WEEZING BRAVED IT, AND HIS SUICIDE ATTACK AT THE END ONLY NETTED HIM A TIE, ABOUT WHICH HE WAS BUTTHURT: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53238809
RHIA'S QUAGSIRE MADE SOMEONE FORFEIT: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53240290
DUNNO WHY THIS GUY FORFEITED, MAYBE HE THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO STALL HIM FOREVER WHEN I WAS SIMPLY WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53240786

I fought one guy, and the match ended in Gastrodon and Quagsire, both toxically poisoned and knowing Recover, facing off. Since I had other Pokémon in reserve, my victory was inevitable, and so my foe forfeited. But he wished for a rematch, which I gladly granted him: http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53243133

[Raijinili]

TODAY'S FIGHTS

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53272403 actually from yesterday, but it's relevant because today SUDDENLY RANDOM UNEXPECTED REMATCH HAPPENS (also he was being racist don't look if you can't handle that guyz)
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53474867 AND HERE IS THE REMATCH. Not special or anything, but why does this guy run around with an awful team sometimes if he's going to keep yelling out things regardless?
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53455245 Quagsire makes someone forfeit. Can't handle Toxic and tanking out your attacks? Then, uh, don't use Pokemon that I don't have anything better for. :( OR USE STEELIX.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53471302 "DID YOU MESS UP" "NOPE *WIN*"
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53473718 Not very exciting by why in the world did his Dragonite fail to kill Archeops? Ubers people are really weird.

AT THIS POINT I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION JUST TO BREAK UP THIS WALL OF LINKS THAT UBERS IS FILLED WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN'T INTO POKEMON, SUPER TRYHARDS, PEOPLE WHO GET REALLY PISSED OFF WHENEVER THEY LOSE, AND PEOPLE WHO NEVER SAY GG UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. Also:

[13:28:08] <PSIGuest-416991789> I think I have only fought one person in Ubers who was aware of Unaware
[13:28:30] <Irysa> LOL
[13:28:30] <PSIGuest-416991789> :(
[13:28:35] <PSIGuest-416991789> I just used Attract on Mewtwo
[13:28:37] <Irysa> I GUESS
[13:28:38] <Irysa> YOU COULD SAY
[13:28:46] <Irysa> (HELP STOP ME BEFORE I SAY IT)
[13:28:48] <Irysa> THEY WERE
[13:29:09] <Irysa> UNAWARE OF IT

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53480906 Really close fight. SAVED BY ROCK MISS. It's possible I could have killed Heatran with Sigilyph, but Excadrill would have ruined it before I could. Needed that miss.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53484048 CAN'T INTO GROUDON. Also watching that Genesect kill itself in a single hit of confusion felt good.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53486065 I dunno, I liked killing Palkia. Also I didn't mean to send Quagsire against Zekrom, just clicked on the first blue thing I saw before I remembered that Cryogonal isn't my only blue Pokemon NOT THAT IT MATTERS.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53492208 THE RETURN OF BERRY JUICE. This guy thought he could tank through Toxic, I guess. ALSO HIS ARCEUS HAS LITERALLY THE BEST ITEM THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE FIGHT TODAY.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-53494572 I lost this but it was also hilarious. Some of these people think crazy things about Pokemon.

[Raijinili]

HERE HAVE A HUGE BACKLOG OF AMUSING REPLAYS, I BELIEVE ORGANIZED MOSTLY BY TIME. So maybe you can see progression of teams. eh.

Also, quick note on one of the teams that shows up here (NOT THAT YOU NEED IT YOU ALL KNOW THE STORY): after doing a bunch of OU fights with my normal team I got really annoyed because literally none of the fights were ever fun because OU is a bunch of horrible people, I made a new team. A team of cute Pokemon who stood no chance, plus Umbreon because I'm pretty sure Swagger+Foul Play makes people mad. Then it was good.

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ru-52622948 SIGILYPH SWEEP AND IT WAS ALL MY OPPONENT'S FAULT. In his defense, the RNG hax was so far in my favor that Asaph would have sworn off Pokemon for the rest of his life if he had been my opponent.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/nu-49263281 This is just silly because he/she thought I was from Japan. The confusion at the end was the best. ALSO I CAN'T HANDLE MY OWN TAUROS
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ru-50862178 This guy also thought I was Asian, and kept trying to talk to me (HEY ASIAN) until the end when I had slaughtered his entire team. Then he got really mad...
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-55504178 The best. Nearly 100% Umbreon this fight. I switched to Quagsire once and used Toxic (on a Steel) and then switched back SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH AN UMBREON SWEEP RIGHT? THE GUY'S REACTIONS ARE THE BEST TOO
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ubers-56043156 I dunno I got really mad when Defense Deoxys sat there not caring about Hitmonlee after Unburden activated so once he died I just ruined him with Sigilyph and Jumpluff. I hope that was embarrassing.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/uu-56145227 SAUCE VS RHIA. An epic battle of poisoned walls and tangled feet.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-56465779 The battle that made me realize I needed Stealth Rock for my OU team. Still, Hoppip got to shine a bit, which was nice. He also got mad.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ru-56842106 I liked this guy. His Glaceon named Lady Luck is very worthy of the name... BUT MIRACLE YANG IS MORE LUCKY

NOW ON TO GEN 6

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-60759041 Paras, Slayer of Espeons, makes someone forfeit.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/oubeta-61004757 I can only assume this person was too horrified by the thought of facing ICH LIEBE DICH, even with a grass Pokemon, to continue the fight.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankubersbeta-61019026 SAUCE VS MY OU TEAM. SINCE IT'S ME VS SAUCE YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA BE GOOD
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-62655209 Gyarados makes someone forfeit. I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT GYARADOS. This was also the second of six forfeits in a row from last night. Crazy.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-62772292 No idea what this guy was doing with Substitute and Protect when it was clear that if things went on that way, he'd run out of health and I'd still be at 100% until I killed him. So instead of switching, he uses Swagger on me. I take a chance with the confusion and kill him, and then show him how it's really done. AND MEGA KANGASKHAN WITH POWER UP PUNCH IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST TARGET
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-62775769 Oh god, a Heatran that actually managed to make a difference for its user. ALSO DELAYED MEGAGYARADOS ON PSYCHIC TYPES IS LITERALLY THE BEST THING GUYS. Also, Clawitzer ruins me if anyone wanted to see the claws.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-62780539 I DUNNO I JUST LIKED THIS FIGHT

[Raijinili]

SO WHIMSICOTT MIGHT BE THE BEST POKEMON ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET

http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-62855447 This guy's entire team until he forfeited got pretty much torn apart by Whimsicott (with some slight help from Delphox and Quagsire)
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-62860904 TURN TWO IS A BIT EARLY TO FORFEIT, NO?
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-62859837 Also this I guess, because Galvantula's pretty awesome too. I'm pretty sure I have insane luck with effects that cause new Pokemon to come out. I have no idea why that Garchomp used Fire Fang though instead of some ground attack, like, I dunno, Earthquake.
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-62878284 I'm pretty sure I broke this guy's heart when I killed his Clefable :/. Also I have no idea what Freeze Shock is. ALSO I'M PRETTY SURE POWER HERB SOLAR BEAM DELPHOX DOESN'T WORK ON SHOWDERP ANYMORE. Also that is the weirdest Talonflame build I've seen so far. Where's the priority flight gem Acrobatics?
http://pokemonshowdown.com/replay/pokebankoubeta-62887232 I miss UU.

WILL UPDATE WHEN NEW LINKS

[Raijinili]

I FELT LIKE POKEMONS SO I MADE A NEW TEAM GUYZ. PORYGON2/KECLEON RAI-INSPIRED, SWAGSIRE/DITTO BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY ASAPH I BELIEVE. CHANDELURE BECAUSE CHANDELURE AND PARASECT BECAUSE PARAS WAS AWESOME IN MY OLD OU TEAM AND PPA SEEMS TO BE MAKING PARASECT WORK IN NORMAL TEAMS. Also there's a lot because this team is shenanigans.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-74190435 - that feel when you trace Wonder Guard against a team that doesn't seem to have any Fighting attacks and don't realize it. Not that I could have done anything to Shedinja anyway. This was before I realized Showdown won't let me name Chandelure Octillery and Ditto Muk, so bear with the lack of nicknames. And Shell Smashing+Rock Blasting this guy's Cloyster with his Cloyster was lovely. He got really mad, too...
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-74202191 - People in OU give up so easily. I USED FAKE OUT ON CHANDELURE HOW CAN I FACE MY OPPONENT NOW
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-74208251 - Greninja vs. KeKeKe was amazing, and people still can't into Parasect. On the other hand, I can't into Rock types. I probably shouldn't be laughing at others.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-74443085 - This guy didn't know what his own Togekiss was capable of, didn't realize the silliness of Toxic Spikes + Thunder Wave, and then Porquegon made him forfeit because Porquegon.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-74452785 - This poor guy, man. He made so many questionable choices but in addition to those questionable choices being questionable the RNG clearly hated his guts. GRENINJA VS KECLEON AGAIN, WITH SHOCKING AND HILARIOUS AND CRUEL RESULTS. Also I forgot PUP wasn't priority and that's the only reason I didn't use it at the end. This poor, poor guy.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-74512252 - TRACING SPEED BOOST YEAAAAAH
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-74513116 - This was really nice, although I'm not sure the guy knew what he was doing. I don't even know how Mega Scizor does such little damage to Chandelure. Even if it was notveryeffective it should have done more. :(

AND THEN NEWUU WAS BORN.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uubeta-74537800 - LCNHELP FIGHT. This amused me because of the chat, though the fight was alright too. For some reason we never answered the guy in German even though that's what started it.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uubeta-74743413 - This was fun and I liked this guy. Also Kecleon vs Kecleon is super disorienting and it took me a while to realize I was faster than him. Thought we'd be speedtied since I didn't touch my speed. Messed up with Ditto though, and as cool as Protean Porquegon sounds I couldn't really do much with it against a Kecleon.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uubeta-74748535 - IF THIS GUY HAD ONLY SUCKER PUNCHED CHANDELURE WITH ABSOL. Guy had no clue how to use Whimsicott, either. Seeing a lot of people who don't. They just spam Substitute even when I break it every turn. THAT ONLY WORKS IF YOU SEED ME GUYZ. Also, the guy underestimated his own Lilligant and it cost him the whole fight.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uubeta-74751773 - I think this guy thought he could just Manaphy for an easy win BUT THINK AGAIN YOU CAN'T BEAT PORQUEGON THAT WAY. And them teamwork killed Bisharp. Then Parasect kills half his team and YAY POISON KICKED IN I WAS HOPING IT WOULD
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-74828800 - I DID TWO OR THREE UBERS FIGHTS AND IN THIS ONE PARASECT SLAYS XERNEAS. YEAAAH. This guy was silly in general actually, and basically let me kill his Blaziken with Chandelure.

So then we watched a game of some people we don't know and one of them had a Kecleon which we thought had recently been made illegal. SO WE WERE HARD AT WORK TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THE THING AND SO KEKEKE WAS REBORN AND HERE'S MY FIRST FIGHT USING THE NEWOLDKEKEKE: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uubeta-75102595

JUST AMAZING.

[Raijinili]

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.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

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:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

+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.

This guy complimented me! He was one of the best Ubers players I've fought. Just too greedy with his stat boosts. Also I wanted to mimic Acrobatics to kill Sceptile but okay I guess that works too


At this point I figured I needed something to deal with Xerneas for real instead of just beating it with ??? every single fight. Decided on Assault Vest Victreebel, which doesn't work, because Xerneas has Psychic. On the other hand, he takes Aeroblasts like a champ.

AND THEN I BROUGHT THE TEAM INTO UU BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE VICTREEBEL IN UU (so I had to kill off Skarmory, for my trusty Chandelure). This was the only fight I did:

BACKLOG

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH NEW TEAMS AND POKÉMON, AND A FEW NEW FAVOURITES HAVE EMERGED: LOPUNNY IS INCREDIBLY FUN AND CAN MESS WITH PEOPLE IN HILARIOUS WAYS, AND OFFENSIVE SCOLIPEDE IS A FANTASTIC SWEEPER SINCE NOBODY EXPECTS IT TO STAY IN AND ATTACK INSTEAD OF BATON PASSING OUT.
ALSO WEEZING HAS BECOME EVEN MORE USEFUL THIS GEN WITH SO MANY BULKY PHYSICAL ATTACKERS AROUND. CLEFABLE HOWEVER HAS BEEN HURT BY ITS TYPE CHANGE. THE GAINED RESISTANCES DON'T MAKE UP FOR BEING WEAK TO STEEL, SINCE I WAS USING IT TO SURPRISE FLAMETHROWER THINGS LIKE FERROTHORN OR SCIZOR BEFORE, WHO CAN NOW OHKO IT. STALL TEAMS ALSO LESS COMMON NOW SO MAGIC GUARD HAS BECOME LESS USEFUL.

Anyway, here have a recent match in Ubers with my current team:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-91349142
Bernd Lauert's tea,: Lopunny / Scolipede / Weezing / Vaporeon / Mawile / Arcanine
buttfarm's team: Ho-Oh / Arceus-Poison / Kyogre / Zekrom / Yveltal / Xerneas

Besides the Lopunny/Scolipede/Weezing/bulky physical attacker/wish-passing eeveelution core I still haven't decided on the exact composition of my team, as can be seen in these older matches where I experimented a little:

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-90989990
pein_07's team: Dragonite / Hydreigon / Lucario / Xerneas / Sableye / Galvantula
Bernd Lauert's team: Lopunny / Scolipede / Weezing / Vaporeon / Kangaskhan / Arcanine
Lots of stallling and switching in this match, but it highlights how solid the Weezing/specially defensive eeveelution core is. Alas, using Vaporeon leaves it vulnerable to special Electric attackers. The following replays demonstarte the strengths and weaknesses of my team:

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-89994567
casey90's team: Yveltal / Kangaskhan / Aegislash / Dialga / Xerneas / Arceus-*
Bernd Lauert's team: Lopunny / Scolipede / Weezing / Altaria / Vaporeon / Kangaskhan
Very mediocre match. I wanted to try out Altaria because I find it cute, but stealth rock weakness and requiring a turn to set up Cotton Guard makes it too cumbersome to use.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-89992879
Bernd Lauert's team: Lopunny / Scolipede / Weezing / Altaria / Vaporeon / Kangaskhan
ATMOutOfService's team: Scolipede / Lucario / Kangaskhan / Breloom / Clefable / Muk
This guy didn't know what he was doing, repeatedly trying to set up on Weezing after it had already demonstrated that it knew Haze. WEEZING IS BULKY

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-89810031
Bernd Lauert's team: Lopunny / Scolipede / Weezing / Porygon2 / Vaporeon / Kangaskhan

Darknight6669's team: Meowstic-F / Aegislash / Houndoom / Greninja / Venusaur / Xerneas
6–0 Scolipede sweep. If the opponent makes the mistake of not breaking Scolipede's sash (so that priority can finish it off) while it's setting up Sword Dance, they can often say half of their team goodbye.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-88913062
Bernd Lauert's team: Lopunny / Scolipede / Mawile / Weezing / Porygon2 / Vaporeon
Goshh's team: Dragonite / Galvantula / Azumarill / Excadrill / Hawlucha / Klefki
This guy's use of Galvantula was genius; a deserved victory for him!

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-88900377
Bernd Lauert's team: Lopunny / Scolipede / Mawile / Weezing / Porygon2 / Vaporeon
niaho's team: Charizard / Talonflame / Venusaur / Gliscor / Excadrill / Ninetales
Very anrrowly defeated by a Gliscor. I would probably have won if I had went for a Wish instead of Scald near the end.

AS YOU CAN SEE I USED EVIOLITE PORYGON2 FOR A WHILE, BUT EVENTUALLY DROPPED IT. TRACE IS GIMMICKY AND USEFUL AT TIMES; BUT OVERALL THIS POKÉMON IS INEFFECTIVE AND NOT AS BULKY AS IT NEEDS TO BE.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-89427002
xswaggy's team: Sableye / Bisharp / Cloyster / Pinsir / Gliscor / Mandibuzz
Bernd Lauert's team: Lopunny / Scolipede / Weezing / Porygon2 / Sylveon / Cinccino
This was the match after which I fell in love (figuratively) with Lopunny. The enemy broke through the core of my team, even 2HKOed Weezing, which shocked me, and left me with just Lopunny and Sylveon—and I won! Admittedly, he made a few nonsensical mistakes (like Sucker Punching Sylveon and Lopunny), but I'm still very pleased with how this battle went. (Also I had forgotten to give Cinccino any EVs or nature.)

THE COMBINATION OF A SOLID DEFENSIVE CORE IN WEEZING + ANY BULKEON AND LOPUNNY'S SHENANIGANS TO ROB THE OPPONENT OF THEIR MOMENTUM, AND A SETUP SWEEPER LIKE SCOLIPEDE OR MAWILE TO EXPLOIT THESE WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY WORKS VERY WELL. HOWEVER I STRUGGLE AGAINST POWERFUL ELECTRIC SPECIAL ATTACKS, AND SHOULD CONSIDER INCLUDING A GROUND TYPE ON MY TEAM. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

[Raijinili]

I threw together a doubles team earlier today to test the waters. Not really familiar with the format, I wanted to see what works.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/battlesp...ubles-155719800 – I was beaten by this guy, who ran a Cradily with Rock Polish, and whose Sp.A he boosted via Surf+Storm Drain. Brilliant strategy!

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/battlesp...ubles-155723801 – Entrainment is great.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/battlesp...ubles-155725458 – This guy had an interesting strategy too, and a neat Spinda.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/battlesp...ubles-155735138 – I played against this guy before, and lost, but knowing what kind of team he ran I easily countered him this time.

SNIPING FIGHTS BECAUSE LITTLECUP NOT POPULAR ENOUGH. :( Also Wooper gets her own name to differentiate her from ICH LIEBE DICH now. I really loved Hoppip ruining all of Bellsprout's plans. Shouldn't have Tricked that Choice Scarf onto Porygon, though.

MEGUMI NAKAJIMA.'s team: Kecleon / Parasect / Victreebel / Wooper / Rapidash / Haunter
Sometimes I think I make very bad choices that have a big impact. I thought I did with Drifblim. But then this guy ended up being another person who somehow manages to inflict a status effect on Kecleon at the worst time and I wasn't expecting it when I chose to use Facade and I don't think anyone could have predicted that I would use Facade either. I can't defend him for spamming Hypnosis on a poisoned Pokemon, though. That's all on him.

This guy just wasn't doing well against me at all. ALSO SAVING THAT TOXIC FROM DUSKNOIR FOR LATER TO ONESHOT FERALIGATR YAAAY. I really enjoy having one Pokemon that really benefits from status effets.

MEGUMI NAKAJIMA.'s team: Cryogonal / Ludicolo / Kecleon / Parasect / Victreebel / Archeops
lucaskr11's team: Zangoose / Exeggutor / Rhydon / Magmortar / Lapras / Mismagius
It's really nice to have two Pokemon that can take advantage of different weathers. Except I forgot my Swift Swim ended and lost Ludicolo to Zangoose for it. At least I mindgamed Exeggutor with KeKeKe and then cleaned up with VICTREEBEL THE UNDEFEATED.
