Really Lame Pokemon (Or Movesets)

[Venny]

When I say lame, I mean a pokemon that uses a really BS way to win, and can do it effectively. Here's mine:

Lapras (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Shell Armor
EVs: 126 HP / 200 Def / 184 SDef
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Horn Drill
- Sheer Cold
- Sleep Talk
- Rest

I used magneton to kill skarmory and then proceeded to OHKO the opponent's team. I used salamence to bait out bulky waters which my lapras promptly switched into and threatened any counters with a OHKO. It's really only good when you're looking to have fun at the expense of other people's fun.

Others?

Articuno @ Leftovers
EVs: 252 HP/ 126 Def/ 126SDef
Nature:Calm(+ SDef, -Atk)
Mind Reader
Sheer Cold
Rest
Ice Beam/Roat/Haze

Set it up with Umreon or another Mean Look + Baton Passer and sweep. Last move is filler really.

Jynx @ Leftovers

I love how it only gets boring to use things like this when you somehow lose.

Ingame, you might enjoy having an Assistant OHKO team. IMO, nothing in all pokedom is as funny as seeing your Delcatty faint uber after uber at the BT. The strategy is mostly luck, though you'll need some skill when planning the movesets of your OHKOers and Assistant due to assist picking a move randomly. An assisted OHKO team can be very effective, depending on luck, but will always be a hoot if you're doing it for fun.

If this is something you are not familiar with, just take a quick look for 'assistant' on the Help Thread where the concept is explained in detail.
It's not for everybody, but I enjoyed it a lot as a change of pace. Maybe you will too.

Got Assistants?

"W00t! I had a 7.5% of that selecting a OHKO and hitting but w/e!"

Sounds like fun. I usually prefer helping hand over assist/follow me though.

I actually don't have too big a problem with OHKO moves, cause otherwise the 'sturdy' trait is useless. I think that fissure/horn drill should have been the only OHKO moves though. Nothing is immune to sheer cold >_<, just in case your sturdy guy dies (SkarmPhan). Other people seem to throw fits when they lose to a OHKO team.

Yes, the idea is to max the percentage of the Assistant randomly grabing a OHKO move, but not 100% due to sturdy.. If you use Lapras with 2 ohko moves, have a third move also, same with your other OHKOer. THere's been a lot of discussion on what the Assistant should have besides Assist. I like using one stabbed attack, DT (to raise evasion while you try and nail 'em), and your choice of either another attack or a status-inducing move (like toxic, WOW, Hynposis, etc., you know them I'm sure). A Smeargle with Assist and Spore would be aw3som3 if it had the stats to survive long enough to use it lol. I think of all the pokemon that can learn assist Hypno has the best overall base stats.

Got Assist?
