Bad Luck You've Had So Far

RBY Lance's Aerodactyl vs my Blastoise (on emulator)

Aerodactyl used Bite! Blastoise flinched!
Aerodactyl used Hyper Beam! A critical hit! Blastoise fainted!

Just RBY and the speed-critical hit connection...
 
I was once up against a Scarfed Jirachi spamming Iron Head. I got to attack ZERO times the entire match, as I didn't have anything that outsped it. It even KO'd my MEGA AGRRON using Iron Head only. Flinch after flinch after flinch.

How?
252+ Atk Jirachi Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 16+ Def Mega Aggron: 26-31 (7.5 - 9%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Iron Head only has 24 PP max so if it spams that, it will run out of PP fighting Aggron.
 
I was playing the TCG, and my Hawlucha was in the process of sweeping my opponent. All he had left was a Slugma, which I was about to KO.

Then he drew a Magcargo, which proceeded to sweep me.
 
Okay, I'm facing a Rain team on Battle Spot and both his Politoed and my Amoonguss are in bad shape. I just need to hit him with Giga Drain to knock him out so I can bring out Tyranitar. It uses Ice Beam and it looks l might get knocked out and...I live with 6 HP! I was so happy until it was revealed I was frozen. The next turn, he swapped out his Politoed and I was unable to do the same for my T-tar. That one bit of hax cost me the match. Which saddens me since it was a fun match up until that point. I would have been happier if it had just knocked Amoonguss out instead since it wouldn't have been obvious luck.

Just did a double battle in Pearl, and all I have left is my Luxio, Dark Simba. Ran into a Hiker, but I manage to 2-shot his Geodude. Dark Simba has about 32 HP left. He sends out a Bronzor.

Bronzor used Hypnosis! Dark Simba fell asleep!
Dark Simba is fast asleep!
Bronzor used Confusion! Dark Simba is confused!
Dark Simba is fast asleep!
Bronzor used Confusion! *12 HP left on Dark Simba.*
Dark Simba woke up!
Dark Simba hurt itself in its confusion!
You have no remaining Pokemon!

Just started sring for a perfect hp ice Raikou on my OR, within about 5 catches I caught a 31/8/29/31/31/31 timid

if it was 28 or 30 would have been pretty much perfect or next best spread defense-wise
 
A Victory Road trainer in X. My Level 57 Aerodactyl-M against a Level 58 Haxorus. I Mega Evolve and go for the Tough Claws Crunch, but miraculously, Haxorus lives with critical HP. It then fires off 31-accuracy Guillotine and lands on the first try.
 
I once had a 27-turn freeze (or somewhere around that, this was eight years ago after all) on my Manaphy against Cynthia's Milotic in my first Pearl run yes i used manaphy ingame shut up. That is what happens when you try to wait it out and not use a Full Heal and use Hyper Potions instead of Full Restores I guess... I used Manaphy against it because everything else I had got outsped and 2HKOed on the switch in. 0.3% chances...

Alongside the usual troll IV Spreads/Natures while soft resetting for Legendaries (Diancie in particular).
 
This was last night: Encountering a wild Level 7 Whismur with my Level 70 Crobat. I throw a Nest Ball, get a critical capture...and it breaks out.

Also annoying was getting a combination of infatuation/parahax for eight turns in a row against a Delcatty.
 
Playing Showdown on an alt. Lost to some random guy because my Zard-X got critted, My Garchomp's Dragon Tail miss and my Clefable got full-paralyzed twice, causing me to get swept by a Volcarona.

On another battle, My Zard-X got full-paralyzed 4 turns out of 5, causing it to faint to Mega Manectric's Thunderbolt. My Clefable also got critted twice in 3 turns. Thankfully, I won the game but the hax made it much closer than it should be. (My Clef was at like 2%)
 
I'm currently soft resetting the Shiny Rayquaza and I am looking for either Naive or Jolly. I get one with Naive with 31 Speed, 31 Sp Atk, and...not 31 Atk.

EDIT: similar result, but with perfect Atk and Sp Atk...
UPDATE: I got my Naive Rayquaza with perfect Atk, Sp Atk, and Speed. I checked the other IVs after training it and leveling it up and revealed two solid IVs of 26 for HP and 28 Sp Def...and a pitiful 2 in Def. Oh well, it's just for fun.

I was Shiny Hunting in White 2 because as fun as hordes are, wild double battles are faster, and I like the challenge of higher odds.

After quite a while, I manage to come across a Shiny Gligar.

Me: OK, I'll just send out Amoonguss to Spore it.

*sends out Amoonguss*

Gligar used Slash!

Amoonguss' Effect Spore was activated! Gligar was poisoned!

Me: ;~;

It would've fainted were it not for my spare Master Ball . . .
