| Well, I didn't see any topics for battle vids/replays, If there is one, please let me know  There I was, testing my new team in Smogon OU! I had Lucario spored, his Cloyster was at almost half HP and I Intimidated it with Landy, but still wasn't sure Weavile would had the power with Ice Shard to beat his Cloyster with that HP, nor the speed to beat him with normal attacks.... and then he can't 2KO Jellicent... so I was stupid and used Will-O-Wisp and he got time for another Shell Smash... but guess what, he started doing even less damage! xD Btw, the "Bad" in the title is like in "Bad dog!" http://www.pokemonshowdown.com/replay/ou-15115921 | |

| A few things: (READ AFTER WATCHING BATTLE (if you didn't watch it yet)) - Spoiler:
On turn four, your opponent, Zin11, should have Shell Smashed again while Lucario was sleeping. Lucario defnitely wasn't waking up on turn one (the turn after it switched in) and the chance to get another shell smash boost was worth the possible KO by Lucario on turn two.
On turn seven, I'm not sure why Zin11 wanted to Shell Smash Cloyster there. Cloyster had just done 47% damage with Icicle Spear, which Jellicent resists. Cloyster should have used Rock Blast (which Jellicent doesn't resist), since it defnitely would have KOed Jellicent.
I'm not critizing your battle skills by any means, as they seem to be pretty good. However, your opponent made some mistakes that takes away form the overall quality of the battle. Had it not been for the opponent's mistakes, his Cloyster could probably have run through your team. Even with one Shell Smash, Cloyster would outspeed Scarfed Landorus-T, Cloyster would KO Alakazam even through the Focus Sash, and Cloyster would not take much damage from Weavile's Ice Shard.

| After a 2nd Shell Smash, remember his Def would be lowered to 0.5x, so Idk about the Ice Shard part  | |
