New combo discovered?

No offense or anything, but there was a very very VERY similar thread before this.
Anyway, this tactic is interesting, but is too glitchy and unpredictable. I wouldnt use it, but its still cool
 
Its a very gimmicky combo, and can be easily stopped, and CONTAINS THE MOST BS THING EVER. Not to mention that no one other than pokemaster366 plays doubles anyway, playing doubles is shitter than playing HO. Seriously, when your playing something gayer than HO, you have a problem. Pokemaster, you can get BJs from Whimmsicott from Marriland, Serebii at least has a few decent players (like 1uc4rio80f4s! aka my cousin!

I thought I told you not to swear on Serebii, whatever I'm sigging this cause its just too funny!

Even though Rampardos is powerful, if he uses Rock Slide or EQ, it will take 2 to 3 turns to take out a pokemon w/ no weakness to the moves, and there's still a chance that a bulky pokemon who's weak against the move will survive.

Well, there are ways to give the attacking pokemon some attack boosts. I have a nice strategy involving Trick Room, Sky Drop, Baton Pass, and Bulk Up/Swords Dance, but it requires another team of 3 to fully execute. I'll find time to post all 6 of the pokemon in a 6 - member gimmick RMT later.

Why are people so obbesed with gimmicks, they only work like once!!!!

Because when they work, and you get beaten by a team with a Pelipper, an Accelgor, and a Rufflet, I get to go, "BWAHAHAHAHA!"
 
(Sigh) if this combo wasn't illegal, it'd probably be used a lot. Spinda with Contrary+Skill Swap+Swagger.

The one main advantage this has over Tailwind is you can stick it on an Eviolite Cottonee...

You must be referring to the one I made a few days ago. I tried to make this thread before, but I bombed and failed for lack of a solid example. This one offers a much, much, much, much, MUCH better explanation of what happens.

The tactic itself is easier to pull off when you use a move like Eruption or Surf b/c you don't have to worry about targeting, but when you use a single-target move, the laws of moves such as Outrage, Thrash, and Petal Dance apply. In other words, it picks one of the opponent's pokemon at random. It's random and crazy, I'll give you that, but it just might be crazy enough to take out your opponent. It helped me in a few battles in the past. That much, I can tell you.

Interesting find. Too bad it's only restricted to moves that hit the foe's side. Then again, who wouldn't like priority Earthquake?
The Pokémon being hit by it.

And like I said before, it also has the advantage of priority, which is sometimes more valuable than speed itself, and it's somewhat hard to predict when it will be used if you're going with an all-out offensive; and like I said before, it can be used if Tailwind won't get the job done or your attacker is Paralyzed or slow in general.
