It is if you transition from Battle Spots to Showdown, like I did, especially since it's stated multiple times that Gen V tutor moves are outright banned for Battle Spot.It's not an excuse when you're using Showdown.

Well then some people didn't read the manual, since we don't use Nintendo rules.It is if you transition from Battle Spots to Showdown, like I did, especially since it's stated multiple times that Gen V tutor moves are outright banned for Battle Spot.
I think Normal Gem is used so that way the next attack Weavile can activate Pickpocket. It's not like Weavile is a good user of Pressure anyways.-Normal Gem Weavile using Fake Out on Talonflame... which activates Flame Body.
Choice Scarf Heracross is a thing. A thing outclassed by Terrakion, but a thing nonetheless.-Heracross (pre-mega) somehow outspeeding an Ambipom.
Yeah, but it was holding its mega stone.Choice Scarf Heracross is a thing. A thing outclassed by Terrakion, but a thing nonetheless.
So is Garchomp, who hits harder, is faster, and has better bulk.Sorry, but Choice Scarf/Band Flygon is an honestly terrifying late game sweeper.
that still does not explain the charizard that never m-evolved and had outrage AND flame thrower not to mention the scizor.It is if you transition from Battle Spots to Showdown, like I did, especially since it's stated multiple times that Gen V tutor moves are outright banned for Battle Spot.
I wasn't arguing either of those, though.that still does not explain the charizard that never m-evolved and had outrage AND flame thrower not to mention the scizor.
I'm all for being a Devil's Advocate and shit but trying to defend certain move choices is really pushing it.I wasn't arguing either of those, though.
Pushing what? I was just giving reasoning as to why somebody might use those moves, I never said they were the best choice or trying to defend them, obviously Knock Off will always be better than Night Slash, but there are situations (however minimal and rare they may be) where the moves might be better. Not to mention chances are they aren't using the moves for those reasons.I'm all for being a Devil's Advocate and shit but trying to defend certain move choices is really pushing it.

WHAT IS COMPOUNDEYES
-Dragonite daring to use Outrage when his opponent had Sylveon in reserve.
There's being brave... And there's using Outrage with a Fairy type in reserve
-Starly (was probably FEAR, but it wasn't sent out).
All Starly should be feared
-Heatran using Earth Power on Talonflame. Overpredict much?
Maybe

If Dusclops can do it, SO CAN I
-M-Blastoise using Dark Pulse on Mawile.
Errrr
-Blizzard Greninja.

-Normal Gem Weavile using Fake Out on Talonflame... which activates Flame Body.
Ambipom says hi
-Gengar opting to use Dazzling Gleam on Chandelure. Instead of, you know, Shadow Ball.
>Not using STAB
>Using a FAIRY move on a FIRE type.
-Twister Togekiss. Because Air Slash for flinching and Dazzling Gleam for Dragons are too mainstream.
3OP5ME
-Quick Claw Machamp. It activated four times in a row, two of which were while it was asleep.

-Venusaur trying to Leech Seed Breloom. It also had Solarbeam with no sun or Power Herb.
IMMA CHARGIN MAH-
Ded
-Oh wait, it did have sun. Provided by Solar Power Charizard. Which later changed into Y-zard.
Well...
-Torrent Greninja using Surf and HYDRO CANNON in said sun.
I've set out a guide on how to Greninja
1. Use Torrent
2. Use only STAB because the others aren't worth bothering with
3. HYDRO CANNON IS THE BEST MOVE EVER
3.5. USE SHIT IN THE SUN BECAUSE IT'S MORE BADASS
4. ???
5. PROFIT
6(9). GET BITCHES
-Air Balloon Quagsire with Water Pulse and Ice Beam.

Using STAB. Like in step 2
-Facade Haxorus.
Obvoiusly waiting for a burn
-Mixed Flygon. Also, Flygon in OU.
Idk
When it says it avoided the attack, isn't it evasion?The opposing Cacturne used Leech Seed!
Sylveon was seeded!
Sylveon used Hyper Voice!
The opposing Cacturne avoided the attack!
How the fuck did I miss that Hyper Voice? I know Cacturne can have Sand Veil but he had Water Absorb and it wasn't on Sandstorm? Also Speed invested Cacturne in OU
Bright Powder would be my guess.
Probably bright powder, considering bright powder sand veil Cacturne was seen from time to time prior to the sand veil ban in gen V.When it says it avoided the attack, isn't it evasion?
Except it was water absorb and had no sandstorm on the teamProbably bright powder, considering bright powder sand veil Cacturne was seen from time to time prior to the sand veil ban in gen V.
Man that SubSD set really made a lot of people mad.
Then I guess he just used bright powder to make people frustrated on the off chance it worked. I can only come up with so much pseudo logic to explain the team choices in this thread.Except it was water absorb and had no sandstorm on the team
Maybe he was thinking the server had Item Clause.Then I guess he just used bright powder to make people frustrated on the off chance it worked. I can only come up with so much pseudo logic to explain the team choices in this thread.
