Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder!
- Thread starter MrEon
- Start date
Meanwhile on the No SR ladder...
I saw an Abomasnow with Leech Seed, Ingrain, Toxic and Protect. Which became major league setup bait for my Cosmic Power Sigilyph. Shame I couldn't burn it (it had already been paralyzed), but the setup worked.
Sometimes I think there should be a different thread for "Silly Things You Have Seen on the OU No SR Ladder." I've seen some shit.

Dr Ciel

252+ SpA Choice Specs Gyarados Dark Pulse vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Jellicent: 168-198 (41.68 - 49.13%) -- 25.78% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ SpA Choice Specs Gyarados Dark Pulse vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Reuniclus: 200-236 (47.16 - 55.66%) -- 19.14% chance to 2HKO
Do not turn your back on Specs Dark Pulse Gyarados. Dark Pulse can flinch as well!
Bite is better in both those scenarios.
252+ Atk Choice Band Gyarados Bite vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Jellicent: 190-224 (47.14 - 55.58%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
252+ Atk Choice Band Gyarados Bite vs. 192 HP / 64 Def Reuniclus: 246-290 (60.14 - 70.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
but then you can't fire blast ferrothorns anymore.. o.O
I would like to know who thought this was a good idea and how he was at 1700 using Flash Whimsicott, T-Wave + Confuse Ray Rotom-H with Flame Orb, & this Rest+Attract+Accupressure Drapion.

I can confirm Effect Spore Amoonguss > Regenerator. Obviously.

Watch as the new mechanics of XY save me from... a BP team with 3 mons.
Edit: Apparently Defog removes hazards from both sides of the field now. Because I just saw, of all things, a Gliscor use it.

I think the best part of that, was that he was ranked over 1400. Which means someone lost to that guy.
I don't have much to add in terms of replays, but I still think it's hilarious when people come onto Showdown with their in-game teams and wonder why they can't get very high on the ladder with their awesome (for example) Samurott with Hydro Cannon / Blizzard / Hyper Beam / Surf supported by Unfezant and the frightening Zen Mode Darmanitan.
Ehh, those sets aren't that bad. He should have used Trick Room on the Duosion (it can be reasonably bulky with eviolite, and has a naturally high spa), and Dusknoir probably has both thunder and ice which give reasonable coverage. The Gliscor was a bit of a wtf though - no toxic heal? Could be much worse, I give this guy a 5/10.
Focus Sash Hippowdon.
I'll say it again. A Focus Sash Hippowdon. It sounds so hilarious saying it, but it really exists.

Mixed Attacking Registeel:
Iron Head
Hidden Power Fire
Substitute
Curse
That my friends is the future of the OU ladder. And he was above 1500. I would've gotten a replay but my computer froze. The same guy also had Regice with Avalanche, and Toxic Stall Gengar. That is Metagame defining stuff.
