    It’s not so much that Clodsire looks goofy when it stalls but rather the fact that unaware by itself is a really funny ability because it’s literally just “I did not see you set up therefore your boosts don’t exist” that combined with Clodsire’s dopey ass expression just makes it funnier because there are zero thoughts behind those eyes. Clodsire is just so no thoughts head empty that your boosts are just gone now.

    My first ever "competitive" battle (if you could even call it that) was on the Online Battle System of XY when I was 13. I was 1 shot 6 times in a row by Talonflame. Every single Talonflame I came across was a losing battle my tiny child brain couldnt counter it. Then I tried to use it and failed miserably. The Talonflame meme lives in me rent free

    So I can actually explain the first one even more: that battle was the result of a popular ongoing series of threads on /vp/, the 4chan Pokemon board, called Showderp. Basically, a single person chooses to be a guinea pig to ladder on showdown, and 6 Pokemon are chosen, often with terrible sets, to ladder with.

      That’s also where a legendary moment in battle happened, though I’m not sure how widespread it’s known: the champ was down to his last pokemon Parasect vs opponent’s last which is Alakazam. He had the choice of going for an attack which would lose if the ‘Zam had focus sash on, so at chat’s i sistence he went Spore instead… it got cured by a chesto berry, winning the game for the opponent. Not a lum berry, a chesto. The opponent explained that he runs a rest Alakazam set. Literally ‘Psychic, toxic, rest, sleep talk.’
      Chat went wild.

      I'm not into comp at all really, and I hate 4chan's brand of humour most of the time, but showderp sets are so funny. Seriously, even if you're not into competitive pokemon, try out a couple of showderp sets in in-game battle facilities.
      My favourite has to be BOOM BOOM, which is a chansey that uses buffs and recovery to support its main damaging move, metronome. It's called BOOM BOOM because rng is a harsh mistress and you can probably guess which move it rolls with surprising regularity.

    For more context, the Arceus-Steel image came from a subsection of 4chans /vp/ board dedicated to sh*tposting on showdown known as showderp. Spectators could send in meme sets from a dedicated website or create their own for a player to use on ladder, which is why STROKER's team is the way it is. Don't know what they're doing today and don't really care to find out lol. However I think showderp mostly died after the hide spectators feature rolled out
