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...

Some of the most hilarious bad luck that I've ever experienced in a match. Best game of my nearly ~2000 broken cup matches. SOMEHOW ENDED UP WITH THE WIN. But turns 1-15 are insane. Missing back to back super effective Sparkly Swirls while I have two pokemon statused. But worth sticking around for the huge comeback in the end, too, after all the bad luck happens.

Congratulations to arriB for winning cycle 10 of UPOW!

We've all thought it. "After all that, what are the odds I'd miss again?" Today's winner is a masterclass in the problem with that mindset, and a great showcase on why Blunder Policy doesn't always manage to make up for Blizzard's low accuracy.

That's not all though, as there are two other replays I have to share with you all today that we just had to include as well!

First is Oskulisko's very funny replay, featuring a dragon tail Giratina and a dunsparce that just wanted to join in on the fun...

And last but not least, we have UPOW regular zvbcv with the first double 1/256 miss we've seen done by a single pokemon here at UPOW!

After some deliberation we have decided to not include these last entries as official winners, as the bad luck showcased in these replays - while remarkable - did only contribute to worsening an already poor match up, rather than actually causing their respective losses. Besides that, we want winning UPOW to be a remarkable and relatively rare thing, so while there will always be close calls we are not going to make a habit out of allowing for multiple winners.

Cycle 11 will conclude February 1st.

Okay so im the lucky player here but yippie i got the permission nontheless from the unlucky player

Okay so its 2 hydro pumps into a hurricane which makes the opponent confused and then hit himself into another hurricane into me dodging a rock slide.

A 80% into a 80% into a 70% into a 30% into a 33% into a 10% or a 1/322.5 all in a row

My masquerein wouldve gotten ohkoed if any of my attacks missed or if i didnt get the confusion into a self hit or if the rock skide hit
