Hi everyone! I'm pretty sure everyone's played on the Ubers ladder in the recent or relatively distant past, and I'm pretty sure you've met some really bad players using some really bad sets. Some of these were featured in a Smog article by Tobes some time ago. That list is in no ways comprehensive, and this is where we need your help! Basically, this thread is going to let you vent your "WTF"ness when you see some really retarded Pokemon or set on the ladder. I'm pretty sure most of you have seen at least one of these.
Before we begin, some ground rules:
1) Don't trash niche Pokemon/sets that actually work or sets/Pokemon that are just outclassed: We are aiming for REALLY stupid sets. So, something like Swords Dance Ghostceus + ExtremeSpeed is off limits, but something like Swords Dance Ghostceus with Roar of Time is a perfectly acceptable target. Reshiram in general would not be allowed, but something like Hyper Beam + Dragon Rage Reshiram is fine. I hope you all have enough discretion to tell what is acceptable and what is not. Sets included in the article I linked above should provide a ballpark of what kind of sets we're looking for.
2) Don't post too excessively. I'm aware that people generally run into a scrub every 2 games, this does not mean that you need to come in here and record a dumb set every 10 minutes on a fresh post. Generally, if you have a post in the last 5-10 posts, you should be able to just get away with editing your post.
3) Logs are good - The more logs you provide, the more real it feels. That said, DO NOT JUST C/P YOUR ENTIRE BATTLE INTO YOUR POST. We don't need to see the whole thing, just the funny bit.
4) Don't trash individual players - This should be common sense, but this set is not here to let you humiliate newer players. We are here to humiliate bad sets, not people. We've all been there at some point. Show them the courtesy that they deserve. Please have the decency, that if you're posting logs, to censor out usernames if they do pop up.
5) Don't just paste a log, we want to know your feelings and opinions when you saw. Comment on what you just presented in some sort of meaningful way, not just presenting the log and leaving without anything else.
Okay, so I'll start off. I don't have the log any more, but a few days ago, I ran into a Future Sight + Protect Lugia.
U R NOOB
