Is that what I was fighting? I mean, I had a dark type move on me, but holy crap. You wrecked my face with this between Substitute and Pressure.
Yes, that is exactly what you were fighting. Fortunately for you, the fact that it was type-synched didn't matter whatsoever.
DB16 Facade was the base idea. I just went from there to make the thing as scary as possible. I don't think I could have given it anything more.
But +5 Faint Attacks are good enough for me.

I. I don't know how to respond to that.

That said, totally stealing that idea to use on my players later if they ever get too uppity.

I can give you the full setup if you're curious for how I did it. There's more to it than what I described.

Hrm... maybe. Apparently my Poison/Dark Greninja for Janine's Gym was enough to take down my friend's entire 3 Pokemon lineup (Both parties were forced to pick 3 Pokemon from their team. A Ninja makes the most of limited resources!). I was actually disappointed, I had been hoping to toss out Ariados or Crobat.

Preemptive strike: Players are not allowed to have a Phenotype Writer and a TM Smith in the same campaign.

We honestly might have had a Machamp running around with Technician Iron Fist No Guard and Huge Power... with Boltbeam and Edgequake Five Strike Punches. And that would have been the less scary stuff.

Edit: I should note that the Machamp's player was also a Mentor, so +1 Move Limit and +1 TM Limit was very possible.

Adding my contribution to the lists..

All are in PTU.

As A Player

1. I am not allowed to play female characters under the age of 13 who are linked to legendaries ever again.
1a. Especially not Mewtwo
1b. Especially not if the girl's name is Alice and she refers to her Mewtwo as "the white rabbit."
1c. Especially not if the game is based in the pokemon equivalent of Rapture and I name the legendary "Mister Bubbles."
1d. If the Pokethrope class is allowed, she cannot be a Mewtwo-morph.
1e. If said Mewtwo symbiote dies, she is not allowed to become a usurper and go on a rampage.
1f. I am not allowed to play male characters linked to Mewtwo.
1g. If I introduce a character to the rest of the players as "Behold your new god!" it isn't allowed.
2. I am not allowed to give my fossil-maniac Onix as a starter.
2a. Not even if the GM has no idea why that's a bad idea.
3. I am not allowed to use "Stay With Us!" to make an NPC who was supposed to die come back to life.
3a. I am also not allowed to afterwards say "Yes, just this once, everybody lives!"
4. I am not allowed to have a character with the Phenotype Writer and Geneticist classes at the same time.
4a. Especially if his goal is to make new species based off pokemon fusions.
5. My Musicians are not allowed to challenge evil legendaries to a rock-off in lieu of an actual battle.
6. I am not allowed to make a hacker/chef named Sheldon with his trusted Porygon-waifu Karen.
7. I am not allowed to play "the most original idea ever" of an elven bow specialist/rider/survivalist in a fantasy campaign.
7a. Especially if his name is any Elvish variation of "green-leaf"
8. I am not allowed to try and convince the other players that we should all play Musicians and face all opponents with the power of music.
9. I am not allowed to base any character off a horror movie.
9a. Or a horror television series.
9b. Or a horror video game.
9c. Or an urban legend.
9d. Or an urban legend from another country.

As a GM
1. I am not allowed to make a Fairy-Ace/Glamour-Weaver/Coordinator based on David Bowie.
1a. I am also not allowed to make him a signature move called "Magic Dance."
1b. I am also not allowed to give him a fairy-type Furfrou whose fur has been styled to match his owner.
2. I am not allowed to name games after Pokemon Series (Johto Journeys, Battle Frontier, Master Quest, etc.)
3. I am not allowed to have type-shifted Kirlia re-enact "the Ring"
4. I am not allowed to make the villain of my fantasy campaign based off Dr. Robotnik
5. I must remember that not all players find science as fascinating as I do.
5a. Genetic experimentation counts as science.
6. I am not to underestimate the lack of sense of survival some players may have.
6a. Especially in regards to legendaries.
7. Even if I make enemies have a flaw that I consider obvious, I should not underestimate the likelihood that players will ignore it.
8. In Sci-Fi campaigns, I cannot determine that the future opted to remove all warning labels.

Well damn. These lists are making me feel boringly straitlaced by comparison. The only things I know won't fly in my PTA campaign are:

1.) Pervert Revenge Mode does not allow a female character to automatically advance over 30 feet in one turn... or run up a small cliff... to beat down the pervert in question. Even if the laws of anime comedy demand it.
2.) If your character design has Blinding Bangs, getting a proper haircut will not give them a bonus to Perception checks.
3.) No using a Wisdom check to determine if a character showing off a picture of their family or friends will eventually die in the campaign.
