Pokemon you didn't give enough credit

Shuckle. I saw a Shuckle sweep (with plenty of "hax," of course) 6-0 on Shoddy Battle today.
He's also good for Stealth Rock and Knock Off.

Shuckle? Really? lol

I've swept with Blissey and Spiritomb before, and I have trouble believing that. (I don't care how much hax was involved.)
 
Entei. Suffice to say that I wasn't expecting much out of it, but after using it on Shoddy for awhile it can be downright decent in BL play with a mixed set and the right HP.
 
gengar...hes a beat and so unpredictable.
CB metagross and cb tyranitar.: when i first saw them, i thought, o...another CB set....then i used both of them, and it was awesome...not on the same team lol
hippowdon: this hting pisses me off so much, but its a damn good pokemon
 
Scizor. I always used to think it was just mediocre and used to BP stat ups, but I started using the SD variant and it's pretty awesome. SD'd X-Scissor 2HKO's bold max hp/def Cresselia, Sd'd Brick Break OHKO's Blissey, and SD'd Quick Attack OHKO's the likes of Infernape/Weavile/Etc.
 
metagross. i never really see many people use it, and i only used restalk meta in advance, then i got swept by i believe scarfgross. ;;
 
Oh, and I need to mention Heatran. When I first saw it I thought "Wow, it's so slow, dies to any EQ or strong water/fighting attack, and doesn't have all that many good moves". I've come to realize the error of my ways since then.

Scarfcross, too. It's faster than basically anything that doesn't already have a scarf, and it does amazing amounts of damage with it's STAB moves. I got 6-0'd awhile ago by one after my opponent predicted my Toxic. Now I'm using Gliscor half the time.

The fourth and fifth hits of Rollout hurt, even from Shuckle (though, this was Shuckle with like +4 attack or something).

Well, +4 Atk Shuckle has a max Atk of 390; with 75 and 90 BP+STAB on the 4th & 5th hits minimum, that could hurt. But with that kind of setup necessary, I'd rather go with some gimmick set in a Trick Room/Sand Stream team that includes Power Trick to take advantage of a Rollout off of a potential 614 Atk. (Shuckle can attain 614 Def and a Speed of 13 with 0 Speed IVs/EVs, max Def IVs/EVs, and a Relaxed nature.)

Of course, that assumes that I understand everything correctly. (It's amazing how many of the little things I have become aware of since I've started battling competitively. And I thought for the longest time that I really knew Pokemon... XD)
 
Ambipom. Don't laugh, I've seen him tear teams apart, especially those glass cannon sweepers and choice scarfers, if you put a focus sash on ambi. Stabbed technition Fakeout + Return is insane.

Metagross- Well, just the move bullet punch on him. That + life orb is nothing short of devastating to many sweepers, even some who've set up and begun sweeping.

Happiny- Just kidding, he sucks.
 
For some weird reason, Azelf. Maybe it's because it looks like a stupid Pixie and I could never get one with decent stats until I came to Smogon.

I'm using it now and I'm loving it. I just played a match where it killed 3 things: 2 sweepers (after nasty plot) and a Blissey thanks to explosion ^_^
 
I underrated Rampardos. If used right (Focus Sash w/ Rock Polish is sweeter than you think), it can swep like a push broom late game. I faced a stallish team that had one as the last poke. I was up 4-1, but my four were all at or below 50%, so he swept me out.
 
Hitmontop.

I breed one with techcian and have got to say, Mach punch and triple kicks make him just like ambipom.

Plus he's my favorite hitmon

He got the +4 Attack ...and +6 evasion(this was key), +2 accuracy, +2 def, +4 sp.def, and maybe +4 sp.atk from Acupressure.

On topic: Last-Pokemon Curseswine with Ice Shard.
 
I love CB ice shard mamoswine it was my only pokémon left but it still swept the opponents 4 remaining pokémon (granted most of them where weakened) and win the match for me.

Also octillery deserves credit. With max HP it can survive a gyarados' EQ after one DD and i believe it can OHKO with HPelectric if it has maxed sp att(charge beam didn't do it though T_T)
 
Cressilla. I was think "Yeah some lame legend," now I have battled them and t's a fucking bitch to take down! I love Legend Clause now!
 
May I add Cursing Utility Miltank? That thing can turn around matches like no other, I've experienced lately. Udderly humiliation to let your dragons being beat up by a cow.
