Kids who go on about making their own team, when they just steal it from smogon are real trash. It has also been referred to one of the most cancerous teams ever since it packs 0 offense even for a tryhard stall team, and against another well build team, not necessary a stal one, will end up in 200+ turns battles......disgusting kid

It's his team because his skarmory is named skamrory therefore different team, despite having the most used stall team in the world

[BurntZebra]

I don't think that's the most used stall team. Shedinja stall revolutionized the meta. Gothitelle stall made people run shed shell manaphy+togekiss and was used by many people to get to top 10. It's just hard to make a stall team without running a few specific Pokemon like chansey/skarmory/m sableye/quagsire. So the only creativity that people can have is usually in the 2 slots that aren't occupied by somewhat necessary Pokemon and the slight move changes on standard Pokemon like toxic on chansey/sableye or curse/encore/haze on quagsire.

Still a generic stall team. More defensive stall than gimmicks like shedinja or less efficient pokemon like goth that are only on stall teams because of shadow tag. Team that he had could be remade by anyone, making a few moves different on one poke or two doesn't make that big of a change as to say it's an original team. Sure, it's impressive to run that or whatever some think, but that's honestly as generic stall as it gets. He could replace alo with slowbro or something or chansey with blissey, but that's pretty much it

 

★Monsieur Pink: the only time they last longer is when its a votl turn tard

★Monsieur Pink: or someone with ditto

^"Hey its fucking bs when my stall team doesn't win in less than 60 turns its supposed to win in less than 50 and the poops who get to 400 are real pieces of shit yall"

It was really anti-climactic to not see that mega luke completely sweep and get para'd 6 turns in a row :(

 

E: btw. para 6 turns in a row is below 1%. Like, 0,01% :(

randoms so ez

 

is it just me or does the regular ou ladder become seriously challenging around the 1700 mark?

it didn't take me that long to reach 1600 elo points, but around 1700 player skill levels seemed to jump up a good notch.
