There is no way I just:
A. Got frozen when I would have (probably) defeated Greninja if it had hit(turn 3)
B. Got flinched when I would have defeated Greninja if it had hit(turn 5)
C. Missed a Drago Meteor when I might have defeated it if it had hit( turn 11)
D. Got critted with a Surf(turn 13)

COME ON!!!

(also can I post multiple battles?)

In only 21 turns the following happened:
- Missed Gunk Shot (4/4)
- Missed Hurricane (2/2)
- Missed Thunder Wave (1/1)
- Missed Pyro Ball (1/2)

What's crazy is a lot of it was back to back and I think I missed more than I hit

just... just triple freeze

Computer nearly got shot. 3 first time 10% bolt paras into 4 full paras and a crit. They nearly pulled off the robbery of the century

Congratulations to Optidox for winning this cycle of UPOW!

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randomdoublesbattle-2499576535-l54uvgv6ktojby04yt0jgo9p062hn36pw

In a doubles setting, with a situation that could easily have been solved or at least had SOME progress made, instead the Rayquaza is completely blind, and the Alcremie and Bellibolt combo get to go off without a hitch thanks to crits and paralysis. All packed into the span of two turns! I'd forfeit after that spectacle, too.

Next cycle ends Jan 4!

unfortunately, my opponent forfeited fast because of :
turn 1 static proc
turn 2 : seed flare lands and spedrops
turn 3 : air slash crit on the scizor
turn 4 : my opponent missing air slash
turn 5 : freeze
really short but holy each and every turn was special

This Lugia had curse, whirlwind, hp flying, and recover. You can't use curse to even things out because it gets whirlwind. This is random battles so the odds of rolling anything that can check, let alone counter this thing is slim, but if I roll a raikou, they had a golem to wall me in my face. It solos my whole team. Please, Smogon, ban this thing.

 

[localshowerpeer]

please ignore my name I didn't bother creating another account xD, well to describe my experience, my annihilape missed 1 focus blast (normal ig), got confused and then decided to hit himself 4 times in a row :p

So this doesn't change the amount of luck but the annoyance i felt with this luck. This took place in the first round of the swiss tournament in the RBTT tryout server tournament and I was down a game fighting to take it to game 3.
The bad luck starts of minor on turn 6 when suicune scald burns me off the first scald it goes for.
The real bad luck starts on turn 29. I have positioned myself to win the game after one sleep powder as my opponent has terad his gyarados making it unable to take on my lilligant. But bellibolt had a different outcome in mind as it dodges sleep powder, that's ok it's not the end of the world. Then proceeds to click thunderbolt getting the para to rub it in on my lilliagant. I could almost hear the bellibolt saying "if you give me an inch i'll take a mile." A bit annoyed but still level headed I know I'm still in winning position, after all i can still win as long as it's asleep and hey i don't need to worry about toxic now that i'm parad. Little did i know what would happen in the next few turns. Lilligant decided to go for a 360 no scope on the sleep powder and failed horribly. Slightly worried as a full para could happen any turn ruining it all it didn't even cross my mind that lilligant could miss again. Lo and behold lilligant must have been payed off as it proceeded to miss a 3rd and final sleep powder to secure my loss for the game and for round 1.

I just felt like having some fun with this one, but long story short
Turn 6 i got burned
Turn 29 I miss sleep powder and get parad
Turn 30 and 31 i miss sleep powder again and die on turn 32 due to me being slower cause of the para

[NDD To The Top]

Just an unlucky game overall that could've been prevented if a couple of moves hit. Missed a hydro turn 4, Then opponent gets the snowscape slush rush Beartic set that flinched my Dachsbun on turn 12 allowing me not to wish. Then Dachsbun missed a play rough on turn 17, golduck then missed a hydro to kill beartic on turn 20. Overall the beartic was able to kill 3 mons where it probs should've killed at least 2.

Congratulations to ccappy for taking the cake in this weeks UPOW! (Please do give him back though)

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9challengecup2v2-2510996236

A short battle today, and you won't have to wait long to find out why! It's already unlucky to have two of your pokemon get frozen in a single game, but to have it happen in the same turn? That's the kind of bad luck that will get you first prize here at UPOW, no doubt about it.

The next winner will be announced Sunday January 18th!

heatran misses like 2/6 of his magma storms and proceeds to miss the final two out of three, and can live a boomburst to win... only to get crit.

Putting another submission cause I got put through the wringer in this game:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randombattle-2517620979-2ug3waq88ppw2ua8oimxl9givb3e12dpw

-Insta Discharge Para on Arceus into Para'd to death
-Meowscarda got insta para'd again

Actual most unlucky battle ive ever had

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randombattle-2518032298-rn8ecfghek1taikvrtsxcrdra618d0bpw

turn 1: my dunsparce has no moves that can hit giratina
turn 4: dragon tail swaps out to dunsparce thats unable to damage giratina while i have 5/6 pokemon remaining
turn5: dragon tail swaps to dunsparce once again at 5/6
turn6: the same thing happens for the third time in a row
turn 19: dunsparce gets dragged out by dragon tail once again unable to do anything while i have 4/6 pokemon remaining
turn 30: palossand gets the sp. def drop on shadowball

yeah at this point i hate dunsparce man...

 

[Victory Victreebel]

This came after a streak of good luck so I can't be too mad at this one lol
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randombattle-2518341892-m3iqg7rup10gt0q4hroaqb9nhguhvg9pw

Turns 7, 8, 9 3 turns of paralysis on Mimikyu
Turn 11, Dark Pulse flinch on the good tera read, would've aura sphere'd greninja without the flinch, at that point it's completely losing
Turn 24 Effect spore sleep is just insult to injury but that sequence of turns above had me rolling
