(Like white shadow, I dislike pandas, but amusingly, just before I saw @r00ster22 mention that set last night, I too was thinking of Choice Scarf Pangoro–stupid name, but it actually good from behind with that random cape–simply due to the exclusivity–fuck Smeargle–of Parting Shot. Of course, I didn’t really dwell on it nearly as long, simply thinking that it would be amusing to screw with people between Scarf’d Parting Shot and Scrappy with Circle Throw.)
Speaking of white shadow, geez, he wasn’t kidding about people rage-quitting over the dumbest shit. I thought I was defeatist in general, but I literally had someone quit on me when I was testing my “Hey, Knock It Off!” team for the first time last night after their first move. It was a Rotom-Wash’s–of course–Will’o’wisp, which missed Venusaur even though Rotom only took 50~% damage from the resultant blow. What.
I’m not sure whether it’s because I’m a masochist or because I realize it’s “only a game” or because I’m largely doing playing to waste time like a hedonist when I should be doing other stuff anyway, but I tend to be significantly less defeatist when it comes to outright giving up in games. This is best evidenced by me going 100+ turns against someone who was kind enough to send me the video after I had to forfeit even though it was getting kinda hilarious towards the end. Unlike the match GodotsRevenge posted, most of this is actual fighting and not PP stalling, my misplays and all:

I think that I may either give Gliscor U-turn and/or give Gardevoir Leftovers given that, yeah, Crawdaunt is bit difficult to switch in.[/details]
I think I’m going to try screwing around with my mono-Poison team even though I still can’t decide if I want Toxicroak for Rock resistance or if I should just try screwing around with Speed Boostipede for a while.
@Mood4food77 - Now that you’ve stopped channeling Cynthia and Clair and generally being “baited” about fucking Poison Jab of all things, I’ll remind you that I’m still curious as to your opinion on the current state of Ubers. This includes what you think should be banned to Ubers since you mentioned Manaphy earlier and I just got my ass kicked by one last night, though it was more due to that stupid Goth pokemon with Shadow Tag. (Why the hell does that still have Shadow Tag if Chandelure’s Shadow Tag got replaced with Infiltrator?)
