Annoying People in Online Matches

[XTheLancerX]

So I transferred all of my amazing teams I made on previous games to pokemon x via poke transfer and poke bank, and have been enjoying online matches recently. It's great, but it drives me insane how stupid people use insane legendaries in these matches and violate general rules that you usually should follow out of common courtesy. Like someone by the name of Andrey who used an arceus with an ice plate, a shiny darkrai, a shiny shamin, and a shiny mew. That, already is unfair, but what they decided to do in battle was more despicable. I send out metagross and garchomp preparing to get rid of these cheap legendaries, but as soon as I try to move, darkrai uses dark void and puts both of my pokemon to sleep. I figure, okay, maybe I can survive this... Nope. Nightmare + Bad Dreams ability and fire blasts from arceus take out both of my pokemon. I proceed to send out meganium and lucario, but again, dark void. At this time, I started getting really annoyed, targeting darkrai turn after turn with aura sphere. I somehow wake in two turns and one shot darkrai, with the hit points shooting down so fast it was like a lv 100 using giga impact on a lv 2 bidoof. Anyway, then their arceus does a quick fire blast to kill lucario and then they switch out arceus with shiny mew. Also, shiny shamin is sent out. All shamin does is spam magical leaf, and all mew does is spam dazzling gleam.

Really annoyed when people decide to go out and ruin peoples streaks like this, and violate common, but not mandatory rules related to legendaries and status effects. I can only feel for those who are a lot more into competitive. I only know the basics, but haven't gone through the time and effort to EV train or get my pokemon perfect IVs... :/

I understand using dark void, because it is allowed in the VCG2014 format, but it is kind of rude to use Darkrai itself. I use a Dark Void Smeargle, but Smeargle is one of the farthest things from overpowered.

It bothers me too when people do that. I spent over a month training my team and getting the right IVs, EVs, Natures, moves, and items, and these people spent 5 minutes hacking theirs.

Ohmygod, this is so true.

Pok?mon Battle Revolution.

Let's just hack an Arceus...
Put it on this team...
Get a Darkrai...

There, team complete.

Ugh, I hate people that do this.

 

[Bowie]

Well, that's just something you've gotta learn to deal with, mate.

 

[Flop]

I just hate when people rage quit right when you KO their last Pokemon, just to deprive you of a win. SKFHEHFIFHABDIFB

I thought it still counts as a win if your opponent disconnects.

On battle revolution, I had an arceus, but it was legit from the event and I only used it for fun and not online.

 

[Silversea]

Smeargle used Dark Void.
Smeargle used Geomancy.
Smeargle's Power Herb activated.
Smeargle used Baton Pass.
Player sent out OMG YOU LOSE.

Help.

You telling me that isn't overpowered?

@Scribbler397
On the Battle Spot Ratings, if a player disconnects the win would appear after your next battle. On the PSS, if the opponent disconnects you don't get a win sadly.

 

[Dommy]

A Shiny Arceus can be legit, I got one once. I went through hell to get it tho

 

[Silversea]

Pretty sure shiny arceus can never be obtained "legit"? Maybe SRing the Azure Flute one, but apparently Azure Flute was never released so Pokebank blocks all wild arceus.

 

[Cress]

Hackers. I. Hate. Hackers.
Mainly in MarioKart. Probably the worst one was about a year ago on Rainbow Road. This guy hacked so he could be a bullet bill the whole race and spammed bombs everywhere. He actually stayed in one place and bombed me continuously for a whole minute or two. ):<

I had the funniest battle in that game. I felt like being somewhat cheap in this one match and sent out my Ghiritina and Ditto. Guess what happened. My opponnt did the EXACT SAME THING. So it was a 4 Ghiritina battle. XD

 

[Neriifur]

I thought you could see their team before battle? Can you just back out if they have a ton of legendaries?

 

[Lassy]

It is possible to get a shiny arceus.
But have to reset tons of times. I don't have one myself but I've got a normal one.

 

[TerryMartin]

Nevermind.

Problem is only way to reset one is to do the azure flute arceus. And since that item never came out in any region any azure flute arceus are blocked. So as a result only event arceus can pass, and none of them can be shiny.

So yes its possible, but not in X or Y.

Erm.. I was able to get an azure flute arceus legitly. They did give that item out during a wifi event once.

 

[Silversea]

Uh, I'm not sure how if you didn't use an action replay.

The Azure Flute [snip] is a key event item which was planned to be received through a Nintendo event. However, such distribution never occured.

In an interview with Junichi Masuda in 2013, it was revealed that the Azure Flute was thought to be too confusing for players to use, leading to the decision not to distribute it.

[Blu Rose]

Didn't they give it to Japanese Platinum players?

 

[reyy]

I got the azure flute though
Never worked on my Platinum game because I wasn't up to that point but I still have my flute
I don't remember where i got it from. I think a japanese event I went to when i was little?

Or was that an event arceus..

 

[Dr J]

hm.. now that I think about it.. it might have just been an event arceus from wifi..
