5 Most Salty Pokemon Showdown Moments 

Nothing will ever top Lavos' tournament game vs McMeghan, I'm sorry.

Last guy prepared a thesis on why he's quitting Pokemon just because he lost.

I always love the “If you didn’t win, I would’ve won”.

For comparison on how badly Lavos handled that you should look to Aaron Zheng playing in actual worlds top 4 back in gen 5. My man missed will-o-wisp 5 times. A 1/1024 chance of that happening, and there's an argument to be made based on the rest of the match that it cost him his spot in finals. He smiled, laughed, wished his opponent well.

Lavos lost SO hard, he turned into a philosopher.

This dude wrote a whole PhD dissertation on why he quit playing a children's game. I hope Dr. Lavos recovers from his humiliating defeat.

I love the "Do I endeavor again, boss?" Love how cooperative you were cause of how confused he was

The Hitmonlee sweep against "Starry hours" is still one of the greatest moment of this channel. His confidence went from 10000 to -infinity in 10 seconds lol

I love the implication that no matter who Temp6t faces and how salty they are, NONE of them have or will ever come close to Lavos.

The starry hours guy was truly a gift to this channel. "1-0 me" will never get old

Mia: -Joins -Locks “IM DA BESTEST” from talking. -Doesn’t elaborate. -Leaves Gigachad.

The fact that he got poetic with his resignation just kills me

Props to Mia. Enters chat, silences the saltmeister, and leaves without a word.

"My bad." "Yes, you're bad." I think that might be one of the best exchanges I've ever seen.

It's crazy that the person in the last clip was literally broken by a pokemon game. Imagine all the other shit they got thru in life only to have a pokemon game be the thing that makes them snap. This game never stops giving, I cherish it.

The fact that people can tell someone to die painfully just because they lost in a virtual battle amazes me

"do i endeavor again boss" literally had me belly laughing so loud LMAO

“Why would I extreme speed with dragon dance already boosting my speed” 💀 Doesn’t even realize max strike was lowering his Rayquaza’s speed.

I think my favorite thing is still Mia showing up out of nowhere, banishing that dude to the shadow realm, then just bouncing.

"you're at 100%" "that's not how the move works" shedninja only has 1 hp, that means that it didn't lose any hp for sturdy, but that also means that it has the lowest amount of hp possible for endeavor

7:17 That part where Dugtrio was one shotting everyone, while saying “bye bye” and then xerneas survived. The “bye bye” was cut off with silence, and then Oh No” had dropping on the ground. 😂

Dude's flinched got flinched to death and he took that so personally he had to write a whole ass novel with himself as the protagonist.

I love that Mia joined, locked their ability to speak and left. Such a legend.

“Did you inhale so much copium that you believe you won the first game?” My favorite line ever ❤

Mia just popping in, muting em, and popping out is just beautiful.

That starry hours guy is an all-timer. The haughty language, the commitment to the “I won” mentality, the comeback in the second game, the disrespect for Magikarp. Truly, a perfect antagonist.

“This was the biggest threat to my team” the guy literally only saw the Gyarados, he didn’t know what else was on your team.

The Lopunny entrance and Mega always kills me. Markiplier clearing his throat, lol

Lavos really threw his entire thesaurussy into that one, big ups

"Do I endeavor again boss?" I would've flipped my pc

My man Lavos went thru the 5 stages of grief within a minute and that within itself is impressive 💀

"Do I Endevor again boss?" Is the most iconic thing of all time

I love your editing , the “you’re a poopy head “ when someone uses taunt and the Taco Bell “dong” always makes me chuckle

“Why would I use extreme speed with dragon dance already boosting my speed” Meanwhile: Rayquaza is at .67 speed

Take a drink whenever someone says “that’s not how that [move/ability] works” when that’s how that move/ability works You’ll be dead

For those of you who need to know how he kept bringing all the opponents pokemon with shedinja, shedinja only has 1 HP

The way the Shedinja worked was that first. Endeavor lowers you to the users HP, Shedinja is always at 1hp so it brought them to 1%, The poor dude thought since he had 100% hp it wouldnt lower him even thought 100% is 1hp for shedinja. Second, Sturdy will always work if you are at max health and since Shedinjas max hp is 1 he kinda cant be killed since 1hp will always be his max health meaning he will have infinite sturdy

*Lavos:* _“The foulest insults you hurl will calmly settle at the earth before my feet.”_ Man, the fact that you bothered to write this thing at all says otherwise, and it says it rather loudly.

That "I guess YOU were the one who didn't know how this would end!" sounds like a line from a battle game anime protagonist who just pulled a solution out of his ass and claimed he had planned it all along, I love it

4:08 “Looks line the one who didn’t know how this ended was you” Still sends chills down my spine to this day.

5:24 that damn magikarp did his job. AND LIVED!

7:49 Mia just got straight to the point, nice

**Lavos looking at his keyboard** _"I'VE LET YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH!"_

I do agree with some of his points like not engaging with something that makes you mad and that competitive pokemon can be toxic, but like, he didn't have to be so dramatic about losing a pokemon battle

Lavos really wrote a whole New York Times article expressing his salt from getting slapped around by temp in a fucking Pokémon battle…. We have reached peak temp6t

Legend says that pikarachu is still asking for endeavor Lopunny *"ehm"* is too gold xD These guys' logic : *"I don't understand this mechanic, it must be cheat"* It's so nice to see salty players got what they deserved. They clearly won't be able to grow if they accept that they're not good enough and have to improve more to become the very best

Love how people can watch something happen and still be like "it doesnt work like that"

"Do I endeavor again, boss?" i always come back for that one

You have to wonder what goes through these people's heads to make them so salty from Pokemon of all things

"Unfortunate" doesn't begin to describe my series, this game rewards blind luck and nothing else, I am beyond convinced at this point. After getting completely tooled by scheduling with my opponent changing times on me last minute and refusing to provide confirmation prior to the day of the match as to play times, losing this way somehow felt even worse than I had thought possible. My preparation was superior, my play was superior, and I lost, so I don't see a reason to continue engaging in an activity where what is within my control is overwhelmingly outweighed by what is not. I am done with competitive Pokemon, and you won't get a fond farewell. This community is infected to its roots with a degenerative disease that grows stronger over time but stops short of killing its host. Tournaments used to have a competitive spirit at their heart, this has been transplanted and replaced with an artificial organ that feeds on vitriol and mockery from insecure little boys that heckle by the sidelines and tear each other to shreds over scraps of attention. The environment we fostered has trapped us all like this in a vicious cycle, and escaping it requires acceptance of the harshest reality we all scramble to explain away, that none of the countless straining efforts we put ourselves through here will ever amount to one single shining glimmer of significance. I would make this the end, but World Cup is still ongoing, and I would never leave so many great friends out to dry, so I'll suffer through a few more games for them. One last thing before I leave you all to react with disdain, ridicule, and self-righteous fervor, before you do everything in your power to minimize my words and thoughts, box them up and shove them to some cobwebbed corner of your memory, and hope they disappear forever as a stain on your finite time ground to dust. From this moment on, nothing you say matters to me. The foulest insults you hurl with intent to wound will calmly settle at the earth before my feet, and the venom you spit will bring all the pain of a warm summer breeze. You are less than anything you can conceive, while I carry on, brimming with joy distilled from detachment.

Tempt is the king of this meme-Pokémon format… I’ve seen others like this, and admittedly they all make me laugh, but just none better 😂

The fact that the pikarachu guy wasn't able to figure out or didn't know Shedinja had 1 HP is just amusing

That first fight was gold, I can't with the "do i endeavor again boss" XD

I had to check... "What are the odds of protect working twice?!" It's a 50/50 chance my dude.

The first clip literally gold mine lmao 😂 Especially after : do i endeavor again boss? Bery nice 👌

So for the first one, I'm guessing because Shedinja oy has 1 hp its considered at full health and any move would kill it so adding sturdy made it invulnerable to damage since it had no health to lose it stays at 100 percent which also automatically resets the Sturdy ability, and because Shedinja only has one hp, using Endeavor sets the opposing pokemons hp to that of the user it sets its hp to 1 as well, then the priority sets in with Extreme speed.

I looked him up and was surprised to discover that Lavos was, for several years, a top-ranked Pokémon player in OU tournaments. He even did an interview with false for the Smogon OU Player of the Week project. He seemed reasoned and knowledgeable, if a bit verbose. I think that some people become so accustommed to winning and being the best that they simply forget what a loss feels like, and as a result even a single loss feels devastating to them. Games like Pokémon or (in my case) MtG will always involve an element of chance, and while that randomness can be infuriating it also helps keeps those kinds of games fun and refreshing. The only way to avoid chance is by playing something like chess. Hope he’s able to grow up and move on.

The first one was amusing. They were brimming with confusion, had the sheer audacity to ask an opponent to give them free turns, and they still managed to lose. *AND* they were salty about it.

Lavos really gave his "You humor me greatly with your arrogance and contempt" speech here

I haven't seen salt like that since my DS1 and DS2 steam forum days. My hats off to you.

That moment when one doesn’t understand how sturdy or Shedinja’s hp works because they play too much Showdown to realize Pokémon have health points and not just percentages

“Am I misunderstanding the mechanics of the game and it’s random nature?” “No. It’s the cheaters who are wrong.”

I'm new to this channel, on the verge of subbing. But this just cements why I never got into competitive pokemon, just jesus christ wow. Some of these people are jail cases waiting to happen. Imagine getting that pissed off over a kids game about catching pocket monsters, it stopped being fun after Platinum for me anyways 😂

The 4 sets of yours into Lavos was so funny to me, I saw the gyarados in hen 4 sprites and knew exactly what was coming

"do I endeavor again, boss?" That one killed me XD

In the second one he might be wrong about the guaranteed 2hko, because I dont think he accounted for natures

These vids always make me laugh and I’ve made sure to tell all my friends not to touch this game with a 10ft pole because of the community. I’m glad there’s a guy like tempt6t to punish these horrible people.

Man, I want to try it so badly on my switch games. Salutes from Brazil man!

"That's literally not how the move works" That's literally HOW the move works

Starry only said "gg" cause he *_Thought_* he was gonna win *_Lol_*

This actually the funniest shit I've seen in ages. Temp6t, continue the good work - love you content!

You are a legend. Love the videos

I cannot imagine rage quitting a game so hard that I have to write a damn manifesto about it like Lavos did. But then again I also can't imagine taking a fucking game as serious as he clearly did either... 😬

seeing him freak out over shedinja made me laugh harder than it should lol

this whole video literally had me dying 😭

“do i endeavour again boss”

So, the last match shows actually really well what the "problem" with competetiv Pokemon is. There are chances for everything and sometimes, the odds are just against you. It can happen and it did certanly happen to me. But Lavos fricking napolion-complex is just way to hilarious to have any empathy for him xDD "My preperation was superior, my plays were superior" lol Temps plays were just as good as Lavos' were, but the odds were against Lavos. Imagine him losing without hax, then he'd prolly have a meltdown right in front of his mirror, while staring in his eyes and saying how sexy and amazing he is or some shit like that

I just came to realize, players in showdown are getting infected from their own pride and mentality. Tempt, you deserve to give some bitter taste on those who had been unfortunate jerks when facing you. . Great job on giving dynamic punch of justice to them.

Tempt is literally the meaning of "every Pokemon has a chance of winning if you actually put in the effort" I love that

Imagine hearing the phrase "maybe you would have, but I won" and hearing "you won"

The salt never grows old

"Do I endeavor again boss?" You killed it! xDDDDD

At the end when it has that huge 5 paragraph thing I was just like “ITS JUST A GAME”

The first guy doesn’t know how Pokémon works. Endeavor: Matches your opponents HP to yours. Shedinja only has one HP. Sturdy: Doesn’t allow for a Pokémon to get hit from max health to 0. Since Shedinja has only 1 Hp, Sturdy makes it invincible to all moves except status moves. He also didn’t realize that Shedinja is a ghost Pokémon. Explosion is a normal type move. Ghost is immune to normal. Edit: Made the comment easier to understand. Edit 2: Thanks to everybody in replies for more ways to beat and more ways to use Shedinja in this way, shout-out to all of you guys.

If you're having a bad day, just remember: a guy lost a Rayquaza to a Magikarp.

These videos make my day and I’ve never played this game before

The chances for 2 protects are 1/3 ☠️

some say Lavos is still brimming with joy distilled from detachment to this very day...

"Do I endeavor again boss" "Good explosion" This has me rollin lol

In the words of Max0r: "Cope and seethe, Jack."

I really am an old man now. I didn't understand anything you did, but I loved it! Those legendary teams looked intimidating until a Shedinja reminded me that the true power of Pokemon always was and will be friendship. Great content!

When these people cook their food, they don't take salt by the pinch, they get *a whole handful* of it. Gosh...

Basically, the first guy doesn't know how sturdy or endeavor work. Sturdy always activates when a move would knock out from max hp or is an ohko move. Thing is, Shedinja has a max hp of 1 so you never go below 100% hp so it always activates. Endeavor is a move that sets your target's hp to the user's hp so since Shedinja always has 1hp it is also always going to put you to 1%. If that guy sees this somehow I hope it helped you understand it.

Lmfao the light novel from Lavos is so funny.

6:22 “you’re*” this moment had me laughing due to the way the AI voice said it

“You admitted it,the crit won you the game” What he said: “Guess we’ll never known if you would’ve won if you didn’t get the crit,because I did.”

Temp6t is the master of salt. He's the one who gives people french fries but with more salt

"my bad" "Yes, you're bad" Never will not be funny to me

When Temp plot armor is activated, your pokemon will go bye-bye

imagine being mad bc someone used game mechanics the way game mechanics were intended to be used
