So I've heard of low quality Showdown ladders but...

...wow

There's a reason they say to play on cart for these formats.

We must stop and a take take a moment to ponder.

Is what we're seeing, not stupid, but innovative??

Sort of like that Sub+Focus Punch Gengar I saw the other day.
sure it looks dumb when it's not doing much damage, but bring in your Blissey and see who's KO'n who

edit: oh cool Aegislash learns Shock Wave

SubPunch was okay back in previous Gens, but Blissey is largely irrelevant now and you can't kill Eviolite Chansey with it.

I fought someone with no items and another person where all/most of his pokemon knew HM moves.

I think that both of these guys were just fooling around with their in game teams.

Multiple theme teams. These range from:

-NFE/Eviolite (actually hard to take down as they were using stuff like porygon2, gligar, etc)
-Electric Type 1 Stage
-Fossils

I have also seen TR with Mega Sharpedo, special Garchomp, and Unfezant.

Just, unfezant.

Saw a killer rock polish/sturdy/weakness policy aggron today, it managed to get the weakness policy boost from my conkeldurr then immediately KO'd itself with double-edge... shame it only gets one ability at a time. Although I switched in my garchomp anyway so rough skin would have killed it.
