Worst Sand Veil Hax - 2012 VGCS Winter Battle

1,717 views 1 year ago
THIS is why Smogon banned Sand Veil. In this 2012 VGCS Winter Tournament, hax-based abilities and moves (even Sheer Cold) are allowed... which allows people to win by relying on luck, where skill would've otherwise triumphed.
Sand Veil has a 20% chance of working, so the chance of missing 5 times (all my attacks had 100% accuracy) is:

0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.2 = 0.00032
= 0.032%, or 1 in 3125 chance

Note: The reactions to the hax are highly exaggerated - while I did swear quite a bit, the video is exaggerated for entertainment purposes. Also, this team was before my country even had offline VGC participation, so the team wasn't designed with worldwide opponents in mind. Still won 87.5% of my battles, though. Show less
