Who are the most annoying Pokes to go up against?

[:mad:]

Altaria. Natural Cure is a pain to deal with.

Shedinja and Sableye gave me so much trouble ingame today. Running through Emerald with just a Breloom and Vigoroth and I've come to realize that I only have Fighting/Normal moves.

 

[TLMSheikant]

I particularly dislike going up against machamp, gengar and breloom. Gengar not as much as in DP (I hate sleep) but still...I hate him.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Altaria. Natural Cure is a pain to deal with.

That's only because of Wally, isn't it? You said you were playing Emerald, so that would be my guess. I usually scare it off somehow and KO the rest of his team before statusing Altaria.

 

[The Real Gamer]

I'm surprised hardly anyone has said Salamence or Blissey yet.

 

[M.K]

Meh, I don't find Blissey that bad. Especially with a fast Fighting Type move ^_^

 

[F8AL]

Dragonite. It's 'enrage' move is quite powerful.

 

[Wave⁂]

Half of the Pokémon in OU can OHKO or 2HKO Blissey. She's not that bad.

True, but you still have that reaction like "oh, no!" whenever Blissey appears. I have the same reaction with Miltank and Shuckle; they give me headaches.

 

[M.K]

Eww Miltank.
It always seems that EVERY OTHER MILTANK is absolutely GODLY, but mine (if I decide to raise them) aren't. It's very frustrating, especially when you see one come out as the 3rd or 4th Pokemon in Battle Tower Doubles, because then you're just like "Oh, for ****'s sake, what the ****, I'm done" and throw your DS halfway across the room, because you have to kill it with a Glaceon.
Dumb thick-fatted animals.

Not when your favorite sweeper is Starmie.

Heck, yes!
Usually, my physical sweeper is knocked out and one of them happens to show up, and I'm like ****!!!

Your favorite sweeper does not alter the composition of the OU tier. Nice try.

Baltoy, self destruct is gay.

 

[shadow1moon]

any pokemon with protect and a lucky trainer.
They spam protect and it works some how.

And i just figured out, my Honchkrow has night slash, (the move with a high critical hit ratio) Plus the lucky abilty it can have. and a crital sash thing that inceses critical hit ration= lot of critcs.

 

[Charmander]

Pelliper

Fixed, Pelliper in R/S/E is gay

I dont know, clamperl is quite anoying too.
I had one in the battle tower spam protect 6 times in a row. they all worked too.

 

[Kintenbo]

Whether it be encountering it in the wild or actual battles, Wobbefett never fails to make me cringe! With Destiny Bond, one of my Pokemon fainting is inevitable, and the rest of fighting it is a guessing game. Shadow Tag makes the wild ones torture, well, at least at early points where you can't faint them in one hit.

Winona's pelliper makes me want to kill people

9 protects IN A ROW before it stopped working

 

[E123-omega]

It's not like it is hurting you, you could use that time to heal or boost stats.

I didnt have any stat boosting moves/items, and my party was fully healed. all It did was PP stall my team x.x

 

[Deathfox30]

Suicune - One Calm Mind on a forced switch is usually GG.

Salamence - No true counter, usually have to sacrifice and revenge. If only Tyranitar were uber. Cress <3

Tyranitar - CB Pursuit is just too gay, not to mention sand stream. :[ A good team built around a Cursetar is so hard to beat. Dx *cough* Flamethrowa *cough*

Scizor - CB isn't so bad, but SD Sciz (especially ones with Roost) is too annoying. I don't know how many times I would've 4(+)-0'd and lost my Heatran and got swept.

Wobbuffet - Must I explain?

Less notably:

Skarmory, Blissey, Roserade, Hippowdon, Gengar, Heatran, and Infernape.

 

[Iota]

wobbuffet: he's like the only psychc my yanmega can't beat

palmer's milotic: it's his most annoying pokemon the first time you battle him

clair's kingdra: becuase my only strong pokemon was a typhlosion who knew only fire type moves and normal type moves at the time

 

[Fuelbi]

Trapinch

Because Arena Trap kept screwing me over in Sapphire when I wanted to get away

 

[Chill]

Keep discussion related to competitive battles. I don't want to see "zubat because it's everywhere, etc"

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Most of Battle Tower annoyances are just stupid.

Wobbuffet - Already explained.
Double Team - Evasion Clause should really take affect under the Battle Tower.
Pokemon with OHKO moves - Semi-manageable.
Pokemon with low accuracy moves - Irritating since they just always hit every single time, such as 0rly's Dragon Rush Garchomp example.

This. I like how Battle Frontier (and the Battle Tower in Generation 3) has no Self KO Clause, despite the fact that the Pokemon Stadium games has had that rule for years.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Yeah. The fact that the clause is off ruins various chances at higher streakers since they just Sheer Cold your +4 Rampardos to death.

 

[Riddle]

Wh y?

This isn't just for competitive battling though.

 

[MrOtter]

I cannot stand going up against a well played Torment-tran. Absolute nightmare.

 

[Tamoo]

Mr otter we should play sometime, you ever on shoddy?

Also my big annoyance is def rotom. I just can't ever work out what moveset they are potentially runnig for at least one, if not more often two turns. I just cringe whenever I see one
Also not a huge fan of umbreon but use it in one of my teams so can't complain lol

 

[Chill]

Wh y?

I already answered your question. I don't want to see those kinds of posts because they are already made everywhere else. Keep it related to competitive situations, this includes the battle tower.

You might as well just move this thread to the battle tower then. And change the OP so that the directions no longer state "This isn't for just competitive pokemon."

 

[Pika25]

the most annoying move in the game TRICK/SWITCHAROO those moves just kill the metagame imho

which the Killer Nacho is a devout fan of, using it on Dustbuster the Furret. (Nacho has retired his competitive 4th-gen battle career, but might be interested in 5th-gen)

On the topic of annoyers, Xerxes built an NU team around Sub-Seed Jumpluff named Faerie. The only things walling Faerie are opposing Grass types (which Xerxes has Charizard for).

 

[Godbrother11225]

all dragon types are a pain in the azz

 

[EpicSandwich]

Breloom: pretty much gauranteed one pokemon is going to put to sleep and focus punched right in the nuts. Also since it has poison heal just plain annoying, you can never status them.

 

[Fuelbi]

^

I hate Breloom too. It along with the NUOU Sharpedo are the bane of my existence. I seriously hate ****ing Spore bro.

If only Jumpluff could get it though. I wouldn't be getting screwed out of Sleep Powder misses outside of Machamp's Pants

 

[Chico113]

electric types imo

i know they give spore to a pokemon with 130 base attack, and stab focus punch. While in return they give Jumpluff sleep powder, i think they mixed it up in my opinion. >.>

 

[M.K]

In the Battle Tower, I'd have to say the multitude of Hitmontops, Dusclops, and Primeapes.
The only "threatening" one of that bunch is Primeape, but Hitmontop and Dusclops always have these little movesets that are designed to drive you up a wall.
Oh, and Chansey/Blissey JUST for the AGES it takes for the health bar to go down. I find it annoying. It's like "yeah, I know I just OHKO'd it, could the HP Bar move a little faster pleaseeee?"

Hmmm i dunno about that tbh

 

[EpicSandwich]

Meta-Kirby i think the battle tower as a whole is designed to piss people off. Every pokemon there gets the most annoying hax to place on your pokemon or seem to get crits on almost every hit. at least for me.
