Not sure what's funnier: The fact that my opponent fell for Lightning Rod Seaking, or the fact that they thought +2 Seaking was enough of a threat to forfeit after the first turn.

How long has speaking had lightning rod?

[Dudeman]

Ever since Hidden Abilities were released, it seems.

How to get swept by a Quiver Dance Masquerain 101.

It's a Stick Web-er, gorramit! It's not meant to sweep! How do you even let it boost that much and still feel dignity!?!?

Also that 3 protects in a row bullshit at the end

[FireArrow]

Is quiver dance there to threaten spinners/foggers?

[BlackDragonSlayer]

It's probably the best thing I can put on it, because in a metagame like Mix and Mega, anything else would be pretty useless and super exploitable.

Mewtwonite X Kartana is now officially a crime against humanity.

I find it rather humorous how pretty much everything on my team, under the right conditions, can completely and utterly obliterate an opposing team, with the sole exception of Tapu Koko (Seriously needs some better setup moves; doesn't even get Swords Dance!).

After I said "gg," they said "no." That made me so happy. They deserve that for using a stall-ish team. The day stall gets a hard nerf is the day I can truly begin to enjoy battling again. I'll extend that sentiment by saying that anybody who uses a stall team, in my mind, can take their own Ferrothorn, and [REDACTED]

Good grief, I had no idea Gothitelle was such a threat. kek

[BlackDragonSlayer]

Gothitelle is only a threat to Pokemon that can't exploit its lack of bulk (especially Physical) before boosting, i.e. the majority of Pokemon that probably shouldn't be in Ubers anyway. Gets completely walled by Dark types.
