Shoddy Cheating (the ones that aren't banned yet)

[forigation]

First off this is a thread about strategies that should be prevented and for people to use on other shoddy servers for a boost.
Mods this is a very informal thread, it is needed to expose cheating.

Aerodactyl: Make sure its speed is as high as it gets (255 EV) and have it learned Whirlwind, Roar, Toxic, and Protect. Then when you play you can just whirlwind and roar over and over most likely the opponent will become annoyed by the fact they can't move so they'll quit therefore boosting you up the ladder if you dont think you can handle this little amount of time killing (64 turns) then use protect as well. Or they will try to wait you out using bad moves to keep from losing good moves pp at this time use Toxic the poison will damage them whenever they are randomly brought back in, throw out block or lightscreen. This type of cheating can be used on other pokemon as well but Aerodactyl is the only nice and fast one who can learn both roar and whirlwind. A good combination would be Snorlax; roar whirlwind (snorlax egg move) rest and toxic. If the opponent manages to hold of this strategy use rest.

Ninetales: Get the first move and you got it in for you. Moves: Confuse Ray, Hypnosis, Dream Eater and (something else). You might be suprised Ninetales can cause beating, if you manage it this is what will happen Hypnosis; opponents asleep; Dream eater eats dreams; opponent wakes up : Confuse Ray : opponent hurts himself in confusion; and repeats. Ghost types are more expected for this kind of strategy but when you have the element of suprise and the unknowing opponent wastes there turn on a stat booster, yeah game over you win.

Please post your cheatings. Remember its not cheating its excessive strategy.

I don't know what the point of this thread is. It's also got some, at best, misleading information in it. Sometimes flat out wrong.

No, it isn't. Shoddy is designed to regulate rules that you choose to enforce. Hence, specific clauses you check when you challenge someone. Or playing a specific tier on the Ladder.

Really, the only time staff can do anything is fi the Ladder isn't working, and someone is able to use Kyogre in an UU match, for example.


Aerodactyl: Make sure its speed is as high as it gets (255 EV)

Three wasted EVs. All EVs should be divisible by 4. Otherwise, the reamining EVs get rounded down. Assigning the max of 255 means you won't be able to use the leftover 6 in a 3rd stat, assuming 252/252/6 spread. Those 6 (really 4) could result in the difference between you surviving a hit and you getting KOed.


and have it learned Whirlwind, Roar, Toxic, and Protect.

Aerodactyl is a horrible Pressure-Stall, and this is horrible set. Whirlwind and Roar do the exact same thing, except Whirlwind still works on Pokemon with the Soundproof ability.


Whirlwin Then when you play you can just whirlwind and roar over and over most likely the opponent will become annoyed by the fact they can't move so they'll quit therefore boosting you up the ladder if you dont think you can handle this little amount of time killing (64 turns) then use protect as well.

Or they could switch in Starmie, Breloom, Gengar, or any number of other Pokemon who could care less about an Aerodactyl with no attacks and only Toxic to do damage, and KO it.


Ninetales: Get the first move and you got it in for you. Moves: Confuse Ray, Hypnosis, Dream Eater and (something else). You might be suprised Ninetales can cause beating, if you manage it this is what will happen Hypnosis; opponents asleep; Dream eater eats dreams; opponent wakes up : Confuse Ray : opponent hurts himself in confusion; and repeats.

60% accuracy isn't worth the risk on frail ninetailes. And you know how someone counters it? SWITCHING OUT. So what if it's confused? IT isn't hard to sacrifice a Pokemon and then switch in something that's faster.

These are all pretty horrible strategies. At best, their situational.
