AuthorReborn Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) So this is just a fun little thing I tend to do every time a new suspect test or ladder reset occurs. It's mostly just fun to make fun of some of the absolutely bonkers sets some people create when they're not very good at competitive battling. I'll start with one I just encountered in the ongoing suspect test (just do ... before your phrase to save yourself some time): ...you encounter a Gengar with Fire Punch, Hyper Beam, and Dark Pulse.

Arkhi Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 When they use Hydro Pump and Close Combat on a Celebi. Quote
Etesian Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 When you fight a fully offensive Skarmory. Too bad I found out it's offensive when it used Iron Head on my switch from Ferrothorn to Diancie Quote

Tomas Elliot Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 ...you encounter a Gengar with Fire Punch, Hyper Beam, and Dark Pulse. (Here) Close Combat Keldeo and Dragon Pulse Gyarados were pretty pro too. But if you want to see really atrocious stuff, go on the Ubers ladder soon after a new game has come out: I remember when X/Y first came out, I faced plenty of teams consisting of Greninja, Mega Blaziken, Mega Lucario, Mega Charizard (YES THEY WERE CARRYING MEGA STONE ON MORE THAN ONE POKEMON, a guy actually complained that the Mega Evolution button wasn't showing up the second time...), Xerneas and Yveltal. The mega lineup may vary but really, you'd be surprised by the sheer amount of teams like this I have faced. Quote
Ojama Yellow Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 When people don't know how to mega evolve, but their Charizard doesn't hold a Mega Stone. Yeah, of course it's Charizard, what else? Quote
Follow Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Ubers is the worst place to fight in the low ladder. You can find froakies, pikachus, and other things like that. Edited April 21, 2015 by Follow Quote
Zephyrus the Priestess Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 When your opponents' mons hold things like Quick Claws or nothing at all. ??? Quote
AuthorReborn Posted April 21, 2015 Author Posted April 21, 2015 When your opponents' mons hold things like Quick Claws or nothing at all. ??? The only truly proper time to not have an item at all is on a mon with Acrobatics. Quote
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 The only truly proper time to not have an item at all is on a mon with Acrobatics. Even then it is a serious consideration. Cause not having an item can be a pretty serious disadvantage. Acro is powerful with no drawbacks ((other than not being able to have an item, or using one that activates somehow.)) yes... but I still hardly find it worth it sometimes. The only thing without a doubt I can say it is certianly worth it on is Archeops, because the mon isn't bulky enough to make use of Lefties, and doesn't want to be losing health from Life Orb due to its horrid ability. It also doesn't get access to Brave Bird ((not that it would use it since it causes recoil which would make the time over half health even shorter for the guy.)) so it doesn't really have any item to synergize with it, so it makes sense to run acro with no item. Other Mons are much harder to make that call on I feel. Also... I have seen a Special Attacking CM Mega-Cham before... it was weird... very weird... Quote

The only two I've seen reliably work is on Fletchling in LC and Archeops in NU. Quote
Lord Chespin Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 When you fight a guy with a fully offensive Carbink. This one's actually in the main games, used by Steven Stone of all people during your rematch against him in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. Quote
Karudae Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 I once used Blissey on the ladder. It had standard things like Soft-Boiled and Heal Bell. But then, I decided it needed an attacking move. So I gave it the strongest Normal-type move I knew of at the time. Hyper Beam. Hyper Beam Blissey. Quote
krim Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 When they try to toxic a mega steelix....three times..... Quote
Chase Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 You know you're low on the ladder when your opponent has less than six mons and the gimmick is not a surprise. Quote
Jacobliterator Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 When they hit your Gengar with Giga Impact. Quote
AuthorReborn Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 When your opponent is so confident in their own battling skill that they only bring a Magikarp (with ONLY SPLASH) and a Zigzagoon (in Little Cup, but still bad). Quote
