Other Silly Things You've Seen On The OU Ladder: V2

You do realize that the hidden power type is based on your ivs not who you transform into's, also tri attack is not nearly silly enough to be notable.
Yeah. If your ditto had perfect IV's, it'll always be Dark.
I was not aware of this, however both sets are still rather silly. Tri attack offers absolutely nothing for hydregion, and greninja not having dark pulse is silly
Not really. I mean it's a cool move to use sometimes but Aegislash is already 2HKOd and Mega Venusaur is worth running Extrasensory.
It doesn't need Dark Pulse.
Whoops, wasn't paying attention. Good catch.
Heh, thanks.
So I'm trying out my new rain team, and I can't tell you how many times people have tried to use water- type moves on my Toxicroak.
I mean, not all Toxicroak sets have Dry Skin, but considering the fact that she's on my rain team, it's pretty silly to assume that I'd be running a Toxicroak set without it. Also, someone just tried to Aqua Jet me with his Azumarill after I had been healing in the rain for four straight turns. There's no goddamn excuse for that.
The Greninja's moves are all legit. Extrasensory lets you 2HKO Mega Venusaur.

I would like to point out that it wasn't life orb.
252 SpA Protean Greninja Extrasensory vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Mega Venusaur: 144-170 (39.5 - 46.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO where's you're 2HKO now. Also, you guys are assuming that I'm hating on Extrasensory, when did I say that was wrong? And for the record, dark pulse, in my opinion is almost always better than most hidden power types.
It could have been holding Expert Belt. Expert Belt Greninja beats Scarf Garchomp without Outrage, while Life Orb will survive the Earthquake then kill itself with LO recoil. Also, STAB on everything + decent Super Effective coverage justifies an Expert Belt.
252 SpA Expert Belt Protean Greninja Extrasensory vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Mega Venusaur: 173-204 (47.5 - 56%) -- 78.5% chance to 2HKO (Guaranteed after SR).
Also, for no item:
252 SpA Protean Greninja Extrasensory vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Mega Venusaur: 144-170 (39.5 - 46.7%) -- 31.3% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock
That's stealth rock damage which shouldn't really count. But even at that, it STILL isn't a 2HKO because of leech seed or giga drain. If leech seed is up, you can't beat it. The only way to kill it is to catch it on the switch. But people are gonna switch out if they take an Extrasensory anyways. I'm not saying its a bad move, though. You are straying from the true reason that it was silly, which was HP dark, which turns out to be false.
Now, I'm not a top level player, far from it, but when someone tries to justify using Night Shade on Gengar you have to chuckle. I present to you, low ladder shenanigans (turn 6). Warning: some nsfw language and a link you probably shouldn't click (cant be bothered checking).

Not so much for the battle itself as for the chatlog.

Okay, I can see your point, but Megazard Y exists. Much less risky and can fit on most teams just fine. And I love how you use Magcargo for the quad resist XD
So is Galvantula, which is faster, hits harder, and is a electric tarantula. And yeah, Synch Espy still sucks.
that applies to all specs users
