Ohai Bibarel

I know, I know. Bibarel? Really, Kat? You have almost 500 Pokemon to choose from and you choose Bibarel?
Hear me out, though. My respect for this beaver has risen a lot in the past two days. Most people I know (including me) always hate on Bibarel for being stupid, useless, and ugly. In competitive play, he kinda is, due to his poor stats and typing. But I recently got Pokemon Battle Revolution, so I decided to mess around a bit with its random wifi battle finder feature.
There are no "standard rules" on that, of course. So here's the deal. You get to use all your fancy legendaries. In return, I get Double Team. With Bibarel's Simple ability, you can probably see where he starts to shine.

I made a team of 6 Bibarels (each with different movesets) to play with online. You can only choose 3 per battle, but that's fine. With luck, parafusion, and a lot of flinching, I've managed to beat teams like one of Pikachu, Arceus, and Mewtwo with three Bibarels. Earlier today I took down Mew, Celebi, and Togekiss with ONE Bibarel, and this guy's only attacking move was Waterfall. That does maybe 8% damage to Celebi, but I still managed to kill him.

So basically, I don't hate Bibarel as much anymore. My play style has always been to be as annoying as possible, and I couldn't imagine anything more annoying than to have your team flinched, paralyzed, confused, and missed to death by three Bibarels. It's cheap, I know, but it's just too much fun.

Oh, and here's a Youtube video of that Pikachu, Arceus, Mewtwo battle:
