TOP 10 SALTY POKEMON SHOWDOWN PLAYERS 

My fav was the guy with the fat fetish team at the end.

Not just Uber legendaries, but the same Uber legendaries multiple times on the same team lol

He wasn't that toxic as the rest imo

Then again when it is Togekiss that complaint is kinda warranted. As even I admit fighting Togekiss is just obnoxious.

At least the legendary team isn't based around making it a single player game.

11??

Pfft i got 16 in one game lol

@@pokelordomega2414 lemme guess, Souls silver or heart gold?

The guy posting this is also toxic its kinda funny

@@creeklist3890 Gary “Asshat” Oak

He meant u-turn

LMAOOO

*cough* ghost-type

that guy definitely didnt have swsh or else hell learn weaknesses from hop

he was talking about u-turn. bug is good against dark so the slow guy got confused

I actually kept Odor Sleuth on my Emboar just for dealing with Ghost/Darks when I was playing B/W. They get a bit squishy once that Ghost immunity is removed.

good old ghost dark type

It meta gross used a normal type move

Its even better whey they say why hack like this in balanced hackmons

That kid needs to be grounded like, NOW!

How did he get contrary on victini

@@neilbratton2543 Maybe he used the Malamar to switch abilities, giving victiny malamar’s contrary.

@@sourapple7474 yes he did, he skill swapped from Malamar. It does do that and it works on your own moves

Sableye is an underrated legendary imo;P

Did you put idc instead of idk????

It means *I don't care* lol

Sableye isnt a legendary

Wait im stupid that was the joke

Or oder sleuth

@@picklesunavailable1440who uses odersleuth be fr

Except the fact that its sableeye its not extremely strong

@@valllllleeeeeeerrrrriiieeyeah most used miracle eye or foresight but Sableye’s defenses are low enough that most things can clap it easy

I think Spiritomb was more of a force to be rekoned with. (Totally not because of Cynthia.)

Calorex?

I just realized Calyrex would be the one throwing the Psychic attacks while its trusty steed would be in charge of the Ghost type ones. Cute

I barely noticed that it was a Spectrier. Then again, can you really blame him for not remembering that Spectrier exists?

@@demi-femme4821 eh you have a point

Does this make me the god of wholesome?

Today I met two guys who wished me luck and I actualy even had a good talk with them about why I use ice type only team and they suported me that's wholsome in my opinion

saying "gg" at the end of every battle is not "wholesome" and it's what 99.99% of showdown players do

He said he'd blurr it, not completely cover it. X3

@@EmberTheFlareon3579the first two insults were not blurred, all others were.

Both were boring ngl

they were both boring, the other guys was better cause all this guy did was spam air slash very boring

Lol tbh both of them were boring

@@killa-sadie boring but effective. If the other moves are set up moves, what do you think he’s going to do for damage? You can call it boring but it still won. You sound just like this salty prick

@@ArnulfoSalgado dude im only 13 and I dont even understand Pokemon battles that well, and im still trying to get better. most of the times I see comment sections under Pokemon battle vids they're saying things I dont even understand most of the time. I don't even know how to give an example. but im sorry if I sounded mean, but in my opinion, the legendary team was better to me

You might tell him to use his eyes and nerves too A mean considering his behaviour his iq might not be high enough to know that, ami right'?

Now i see both yugioh and pokemon players dont read

@@LomasneyAaron omfg almost forgot how ygo can be the worst game ever to toxic people because if you don't read the cards it's basically mystical magic happening before your very eyes (Aka superheavy samurai which makes attacking in defense position a thing, or metaphys which bans and returns a thousand times cards from both sides AND THOSE AREN'T REALLY THAT CONFUSING COMPARED TO WHAT YOU CAN GET)

@@mhplayer the question is how tf do people still not know about sturdy shedninja in hackmons

@@hbsavage0387 ye that's like not knowing how to zoroark properly kekw

I've never played Showdown. Is that seriously all it takes? Edit: Never mind, I figured it out.

Gotta try this in the main games.

Or, you can send out a mold breaker/turboblaze/etc mon and kill the shedinja

@@chilicheesefritos21 I forgot what mold breaker does anymore

@@pgpsucksatrivalsxd7229 it bypasses abilities

Man was oding on copium

"spams gg when you got the easiest matchup ever" He's talking about himself and I love it

He was seething too much

This one actually didnt put a good taste in my mouth. To me the "2 pokemon gg I guess" seemed almost confused to me than anything, and just because someone doesnt necessarily consider something a 'good game' doesnt make them toxic. Then again, I'm someone who never really gets toxic over a game and like to assume the best for others- but I also dont think one should assume the worst either. Eitherr way, I'm being a whiny little snowflake bottle suckin child so I'll move out

@@moonshadow1795 It's more the fact that instead of pleasant conversation and "gl hf" mentality it's immediately to the "ha gg i guess". It's like being good at something and being a douchebag about it, you're still a douchebag even if you are good.

Amen.

Gotta give him credit for best Gen supremacy.

It is...inspiring honestly

thats like damp swampert

@@shaggbaggzxd1649 I-

okay, its not that bad. empoleon atleast has aqua jet

I like how this has more likes than the original 😂

A good tip is use entry hazards and/or barriers If you catch your opponent about to use Defog, switch to Empoleon, the evasion drop will activate Defiant Also works as a good "SIKE" against Intimidate

It's pretty legit. It's the major reason I don't do competitive stuff with Pokemon, because the Showdown, and other online Pokemon Battle communities, are filled with some of the most toxic people I've ever seen.

@@megasaur6511Yhh, I've been lucky to avoid the salt, apart from one guy who was upset about my max defences shuckle using power trick to turn the tables on them

Ive never met any toxic or salty people in this game tbh

This is the chillest game I've ever seen guys, you've seen nothing. Try playing LoL or Brawlhalla, they tell you to die or to get canc3r at least 1 out of 4-5 games, that's crazy

@@thefaberschannel124 Now , we are going into murky territory

True

And also, they gotta use !weak enter pokemon here to learn weaknesses with the opponent's pokemon

@@JoshtheOverlander ah, been awhile since I've seen a TOME reference.

@@edmg7 It's a show that doesn't get enough UwU

How does sturdy work? Not really a pokemon player (just a few years of .Go

@@michielzandbergen6219 As long as you have full HP, the next damaging attack cannot KO you and will leave you at 1 HP (Unless the attacker has Mold Breaker). Sturdy Shedinja is nuts because Shedinja always has 1 HP, but since it counts as full HP, it'll end up simply retriggering sturdy, which means that the usual method that isn't Mold Breaker (Or the legendary variations Teravolt or Turboblaze) of multi-hitting moves fails to work on Sturdy Shedinja. Of course, that's when the Sandstorm calls!

@@ThisGuyHasName Oh boy, that's broken and cool as fuck

@@Legacy_45 I think it was hacked in this case, if I remember right there are rulesets that allow for 'Balanced Hackmons', though there are moves that allow Pokemon to be given abilities they wouldn't normally have so you could possibly set one up that way.

Barring abilities, any entry hazard, status damage or weather damage can kill a sturdy Shedinja. Well, usually. The newer items like Heavy Boots and Safety Goggles get rid of two potential issues being entry hazards and weather specifically. If you're having status issues, a Lum Berry + Recycle combo makes you immune to them. Or just be an asshole like me and use 3 Shedinja, one for each situation.

People are like this I think in any game, even board games I've seen people take really seriously before lol. I've played MMOs and Chess online too, and people are like that whenever you're in competition with them and they get mad when you beat them. They'll accuse you of using heals, of using procs for your equipment, they'll accuse you of using an engine, hacking, whatever lol.

@@marcjohn9404 I'm fully aware this happens in alot of games. Infact the making up boogie men is a line from LazyPurple talking about how people do this in the TF2 community. Or atleast that's where I was using it from. Maybe someone else used that line too

Yeah you're pretty much right but it's not always the team that doesn't cut it. I've stolen some pretty fire teams from RU-vidrs and still lost with them, yes it's frustrating but that's not an excuse to act like this on a children's game battle simulator lmao

Ikr? It's not like they had to hatch that pokemon from an egg and train it then use valuable resources for the moves you want. You literally just click a button and it has perfect IVs with a beneficial nature

Its my personal theory that people are way more stubborn in games like pokemon than in other more mechanically skill based games because losing a strategy based game makes them feel like its an insult to their intelligence rather than "he shot his gun first so that's why i died." or something to that effect. and then when you have a game like pokemon showdown where even the excuse of "he grinded more for perfect pokemon" is taken out of the equation... you're gonna get a lot of toxicity.

I literally play as a pokefan with my favorite pokemon and then the guys with 6 gods trash talk me

I just use a diverse team of different types to have counters against anything.

@@thatoneidiotfrijole2753 same man but sprinkle in my favourite Pokémon like mega lopunny

Yeah, they can fight it out amongst each other. I'll be over here agonizing endlessly over whether to use Furret cause I like it more, or Gourgeist because it pretty much perfectly fills a niche the team needs and meshes decently enough with my ace, Zoroark. Also gosh, the name Bhelliom just reminded me that I still need to finish reading Eddings' Sparhawk books.

@@TekayAuron Thats where i got my name from! Good reading! I’ve had this name for years now, I do occasionally get people that recognise it such as your good self! Picking names from books is good i find so long as its not main stream, its quite unlikely to be taken, and as unfortunate as it sounds, not a lot of people tend to read books these days, atleast, not the younger crowd, but ahwell! Also, gourgeist is a pretty good physical wall pokemon, i sometimes use it! Being that i like using ghost types in general!

do you know the song at 15:10?

He's playing an unwinnable match with his setup. There was a 0% chance of victory no matter how many crits he scores. There's a pretty big reason to be salty.

No there isn't. It's very much beatable if you're not a caveman who only relies only on damaging moves.

@@gengarzilla1685 exactly, he didn't have any tools to take out the Shedinja so he couldn't win.

You just said it, he lost because _his_ team wasn't able to handle the Shedinja. Getting salty at the opponent when it's the fault of your inefficient teambuilding is just poor form.

Because you need to bend them to your will!

I don't even understand what he meant

Their own imaginary rules that they made up on the spot because they can't handle the strat. God, everyone should know of these rules made by losers who are losing!

I imagine that was a young person and someone had told them, homebrew like, that the move isn't allowed. Someone told them it isn't allowed, so you broke the rules. Alternatively, there's a community with set rules which Showdown isn't appreciative of. They follow the honour system. Someone in that community is unaware that there exist people outside the community. This happens very often in various niches, sadly. A third option is the "my mind made the rules and everyone should follow my rules" thing. This usually makes the "rule makers" made because nobody knows their rules.

@@JaharNarishma The way they talk, option 3 sounds the most probable.

why

@@jiggilibu Ghost are immune to normal and fighting

@@ezz7809 yea, and ghost cant hit normal. but can hit fighting

@@O97084 true

What about the dude that called him "gay"

Hahahahahaha

I support this humble request for i am also a Glaceon simp

For glaceon is but the pinacle of both evolution and eeveelution, I come to thee all to request, too, a glaceon strat.

as a fellow member of the glaceon gang, i too want to know if it can be used in competitive play

I don't like the Eeveelutions to the simp level, but I do like Glaceon. Just a random Glaceon stuff, but Glaceon's ability so happens to be Snow Cloak if ya wanna use Hail to enhance it's evasiveness then use Double Team to continue building it. One could take advantage of Blizzard not missing in Hail but it sorta makes it looks like it relies on the hail and Hail doesn't last too long (unless the pokemon with Hail uses an Icy Rock) an opponent might try to change the weather to take advantage of this, so to be safe Ice Beam will miss less often than Blizzard. If your about the healing, Glaceon has another ability (Hidden) Ice Body which gradually heals Glaceon. One could stack it with Leftovers, Glaceon can learn Dig to increase the time Glaceon heals from Leftovers without sustaining some damage from the foe. Glaceon can also learn Water Pulse, likely to effectively damage two out of the four of Glaceon's weaknesses (and just Pure Ice Types in general) Rock and Fire. Never sure how well some strats will do in the intense world of competitive pokemon battles, but as someone once said "Truly skilled Trainers win with their favorites" (Johto Elite 4 Karen). Never stop liking your favorite Pokemons you guys and gals 👍

What is the name?

Hey, the people aren't that bad on showdown. It's just that temp6t mainly uploads the salty ones because those get views. I've seen a lot of very nice people on showdown, had some great experiences. It's mainly kids on the low ladder that spoil the fun. But you can also just block them so you won't have to deal with them.

@@stego7782 Yeah, there may be good peps around but seeing how good he plays makes me lose my interest to be a pokemon player. If i were to be one, i had to understand every moves, buff equipments and swap moves on each of my pokemons for good movesets which is time-consuming and tiring for me.

@@Super1337hung You mainly see all of these gimmicks and strategies in low ladder, which is probably how Temp gets all of his salt.

@@Luckrye Do you see strightforward battles without the gimmicks??

@@C_0_N Yeah. As soon as you get into the 1100s and up, you don't see all of that.

Did you try the Git Gud strat? Jk idk.
