Bulk Up is actually a legit move on TFlame.

Bulk up Talonflame is one of the recommended Smogon sets. I use it and it's devastating. It has swept a number of teams 6-0 by itself.
Its surprise factor helps it set up. Run it with max sp def, burn physical attackers, bulk up and roost residual damage. It's easy to get it to +2 or even higher, at which point you have a priority abusing tank with priority recovery.
ETA: just remembered that this forum has a funny thing about multiple posting. Sorry for any offence caused, mea culpa.

Interesting. If you say it works I'll take your word for it since I've never used Talonflame myself. I sure as hell didn't expect it so you're probably right about the surprise factor lol.
But if you manage to beat someone with such a bad team the person must have some silly things on his team
Still giving people bad teams and saying someone should win with them to get a cookie or something is not the purpose of this thread. The purpose of this thread is to talk about stupid stuff you have seen on the ladder like belly drum Clefairy and confuse ray Starmie.
back to dumb stuff

-Sludge Bomb Houndoom.
Sludge Bomb Houndoom beats Azumarill, which is very useful.
He was refusing to battle anyone stupid enough to use Heat Wave on Heatran.
A team of all specially based pokemon using only choice bands. Seriously. The team:
• Choice Band Latias,
• Choice Band Latios,
• Choice Band Greninja,
• Choice Band Volcarona,
• Choice Band Thundurus-I,
• Choice Band Manaphy.
• Choice Band Latias,
• Choice Band Latios,
• Choice Band Greninja,
• Choice Band Volcarona,
• Choice Band Thundurus-I,
• Choice Band Manaphy.
greninja can be physical for niche stuff, as can thundurus-i, unless you mean they had special moves with choice band.
I know it's alright, but it isn't that good. But a team with 6 Choice Band wielders is not good teambuilding, in my opinion. Especially when it involves Flare Blitz Volcarona and Zen Headbutt Latias..
I can beat that. Hidden Power Smeargle.
