Come on guys! I want to hear all about the longest, most boring stall wars you've had the misery of sitting through for one reason or another. Maybe it was the final round in a tournament, or for one reason or another you endured right to the very end to see who would emerge victorious? Whatever it was, please post it here.

One particularily nasty on I remember was my Vappy + Blissey VS Vappy + Donphan.

Every time Donphan came out I managed to put it back to sleep with Blissey. Neither Vaporeon could do any damage to each other, nor could his Vappy do more than pass wishes to Donphan to keep it topped up on hp >.< My Blissey just kept on Softboiling whenever needed, and unfortunaly I was carrying Flamethrower over Ice Beam. Dam, that took a very long while.
 
Once on Netbattle, I had my Milotic against a Vaporeon and a Wigglytuff. My Milotic was paralyzed so a lot of turns ended up as FP turns. Marvel scale also gave me higher defenses, which made it hard for Struggles to go through. I eventually died due to recoil
 
I've had games on NetBattle when that was popular last for well into 200-300 turns, but that's pretty standard for those days. I am aware of a game that I didn't participate in that was 1024 turns, and ended up crashing the server it was on. I forget the name of the trainer's involved, but that match is pretty well known.
 
Bliss vs Bliss on Shoddy. Because of their high HP, Seismic Toss only did 15%. Neither had Toxic. I was running Ice Beam/Seismic Toss/Charm/Softboiled, iirc. I was really lucky because the opponent's Bliss Struggled the turn before mine.
 
I've had nothing to bad, but it was annoying when an Umbreon mean looked and baton passed to a Dusknoir against my Clefable. I lost eventually, but I had to use all of my PP. Very annoying.
 
I had plenty of annoying stall wars when I used Subsitute + Roost Zapdos. Thanks to Pressure, they weren't excessively long, but they still were annoying, as that was how I usually scraped my wins with that team (it was poorly planned - only my Reversal Blaziken had actual offense). One memorable battle I completely stalled a full-PP Tyraniboah out of health until it died to Struggle.
 
This is from my emerald version battle factory experience. Milotic(Mine) vs shuckle. It haxed me all the way till i ran out of surf. than it went all the way downhill to a struggle match..........Both had leftovers. And i had it quite into a deep winning streak. Gawd tht sucked so hard.
 
wish+protect vappy vs. tpunch metagross

Metagross has less pp than wish+protect and gets dented with surf, but with good prediction he can use other moves to waste vappy's pp. That was the longest stall war I ever had. Oh. and we both had leftovers.
 
Ended up with two last pokemon Skarmory's. Mine won because I used Steel Wing and had more PP.
 
My Jirachi vs. my opponent's Forretress. It was a toxi-stalling Jirachi, and I only realized that I'd accidentally put Protect over HP Fire when I couldn't do damage to him. I was also paralyzed. So, it came down to a 100 or so turn stall war until I ran out of PP and started Struggling. . . He Exploded, and it only did half my health (that's with the Struggle recoil, so really only 25% or so) due to 6 Cosmic Powers. So I struggled uselessly against Cressy until I died. I forget why I didn't just quit, but eh, whatever. . .
 
I have yet to experianc a true stall war, but IU do have this one that took quite a while.

[miniwarstory]
I quickly let starmie come out, my last remaining poke to kill my opponents donphan. Yet, he brings out a milotic and I start kickng myself. this starmie only has Ice beam and surf. He sit or about 30 minutes, my starmie constantly being ut to sleep and milotic recovering Finally though, milotic starts struggleing and finally goes down. donphan's death was quickly ensured afterwords.

Hm... I've had the same exact experience, except I was the Vaporeon user. One of the few times I've regretted using Toxic is in this battle.
 
I had a two hour battle when I first started playing on Wi-Fi, and the majority of the battle itself was a stall war. I'd guess that there was at least one hour of stalling. My Restalk Dusknoir really was the MVP of that battle.
 
I played some assbag once who accused me of hacking because my Dusknoir was caught in a Dusk Ball (I got lucky and found a careful one. I don't care much about IVs...). It was my Dusknoir vs his Weezing. He kept Pain Splitting and I kept Resting. The douchebag knew he was going to be PP stalled even without me using PP ups (which I didn't). He was convinced that beacause Weezing did crap damage to me, I was a hacker. About an hour later, after he died from Struggle, another kid made up calculations that proved my Dusknoir to be legit.

Too bad it came after the asshole wasted two hours of my life...
 
The most recent one was Stealth Rock/Rapid Spin Donphan vs Stealth Rock/Rapid Spin/Counter Forretress... finally we agreed to just both switch, it was just talking too long to work out lol

And then there's all those 200-turn NetBattle logs, but most of those are just stall team vs stall team.
 
Lucario making me flinch for the entire game. Really, what the hell. Stupid Rock Slide and Kings Rock haxing. Pissed me off. Really, Sceptile taking like ~9% a hit, flinching every time. That's what I get for lettin ghim do 3 agilities. So lame. It was his last Pokemon and I still had 6. Ended with his lucario having perfect health and me having 2 Pokemon. How LAME. He ran out of moves, and I missed 5 Fire Blasts, all my Focus Blasts and all my Thunders. I still won, but geez. Took like far too long.
 
In GSC back in GSBot, someone had a battle of two Blissey @ Leftovers Growl/Double Team/Sub/something(Rest?) where they went on for a long time before getting kicked.
 
I end up with a lot of stalling running my Cradily. Rest/Mirror Coat/Barrier/Toxic is deadly but mega walled. Sometimes I win, sometimes I don't.

There was this one time when my Mach Punch/Spore/Sub/Leech Seed Breloom outstalled a Moonlight/CM Cressy. It was fun.

Playing with Shedinja, I've come up against a few Rest Suicunes. They Pressure stall me. D:
 
Longest on NB was 364, it was my Blissey against Fear's RestTalk Zapdos. I lost because I ran out of PP :(

Longest on Shoddy was 229 turns against G_Rett. He had Mean Look Passing Umbreon combined with a Dusknoir and a very defensive Resting Spinning Kabutops. He had trapped my Dusknoir and passed it to Kabutops. Looooooon stallwar. I won in the end. We battled again, and I DCed in the middle of an interesting match that could've swung either way. 60 turns, no Pokes lost.
 
Me and my opponent both had a blissey and a suicune. So it was Blissey Vs Suicune, and then Suicune Vs Blissey. It must have lasted over 300 turns. >_<

This reminds me of my funniest stall war, my CM/Moonlight/Ice Beam/[something] Cress against a Sub/Focus Punch/Spore/Leech Seed. Really exciting. I won in the end, but God, sometimes I want to get Cresselia on my team again just to face another Breloom again.
 
It was in the battle tower. We both had 1Pokemon left: Snorlax [My side] VS. a Dusknoir. Of course, i had nothing in my Lax's set to counter a Noir and Noir had nothing to counter a Lax. So i first wasted the PP of EQ and Body Slam. He was randomly using WOW and Shadow Punch for some wierd reason. Then about 40 turns later i still had some rest and some Sleep talks left. I kept recovering off all the WOW damage and we finally both ran out of moves. Luckily I could struggle a few times before i would die. Noir only struggled once then died due to recoil. I was like 49 turns.
