The Longest Stall

My longest stall was against a Dusklops in the BT also. Again, last pokemon and the ghost had already maxed out on Double Team and had leftover as well as confuse ray, toxic and protect. My Drapion had EQ, Night Slash, Toxic Spikes and (sigh) still has cut from in-game because I haven't decided on a rela final move.

Night Slash only landed 2x, no crit hits and they were far enough in between that pressure killed my PP and he recovered all health with leftover.

Luckily for me, his struggle kicked in first (thanks to cuts high pp!!) and he got knocked out from recoil before I did!

Talk about painfull though!
 
it was in the BT i got stuck against a empoleon with double team, rest, aqua ring and yawn it was holdig leftovers so all i could do was switch when it used yawn and pp stall the f****r into using struggle
 
I just had an ingame leech seed VS Grass type stall. God that took a while...
 
I got into a Wobbuffet mirror match in the R/S Battle tower. Nuff said.

The funny part is that after mine won due to no Leftovers on the enemy, my Wobbuffet proceeded to Struggle the opponent's last Pokemon, Kadabra, to death.

Some details might be a bit off, but Wobby DID take out a Kadabra after Struggling the enemy Wobb to death.
 
I was having fun messing around with some new pokes I got in trades on battle tower wifi. Last pokemon in the 7th battle:

Calm Mind Blissey with Ice Beam and Counter

v.

Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Specsmence

. . .

God, that was very, very painful.
 
My longest stall was my Togekiss against a Cradily over Wi-Fi, that battle was paaaaaaaaaaainful, but Togekiss won the year long stall, then got killed by a Hippowdon, Breloom came in and killed it with Seed Bomb, then I stalled down to about 6 HP and got in one hit with Focus Punch....... sad thing was that it only did about 40% Damage, then died to the Sandstorm. It was disheartening, lol.

Another stall war was in the Battle Tower against an Evasion Hax Protect/Leech Seed Breloom. All I had was Blissey left, and after hours and hours of trying to fight the bastard, we Struggled it out, and Blissey died.... >.>; I was so angry, that I went out and killed Bidoof with Uber Pokemon, then I went back to Littleroot and yelled at my Mom that she sits on her ass all day eating all of the chips and watching TV...... yep, Stall Wars = Anger. XD

What I mainly wonder is how you got to fight Bidoof anywhere near Littleroot...
 
I can say i was stall in 2 hours when i battle Skarmory VS Umbreon that had 6+ CUrse but payback doesn't did so much so its end with struggle and Roost did match to a stall and i had a Hppowodon to but but i was no he gonna die really annoying the most stall battles is to a Umbreon. Same 1 time MEganium VS BLissey i Net battle i had Leftovers and Leech seed so i recovered more than he did to me but it softboilded hole the time and my
other attacks besides Leech seed was Razor Leaf, Reflect and Light Screen XD.
 
The longest stall I've ever had was either Blissey vs. Umbreon or Jirachi vs. Vaporeon (down to the last struggle) though I can't remember which one was longer- the first one happened too long ago.

Basically, anything stallwar with a pokemon who knows wish is a pain in the ass.

EDIT: There was an even longer stall war I had a few years ago in g/s/c against a minimize Chansey... damn, that thing killed my entire team until my Typhlosion finally hit it.

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.

That happened to me as well (a bit different sets though), and the same goes with my Blissey Vs someone's Cresselia (down to Struggle, I lost due to recoil).
 
A few weeks ago I got out of a 50-turn battle against Megainum in the Emerald Tower. Maxed out DT, Leech Seed, Sub, and Grasswhistle. I had to keep switching to break Leech Seed. I counted on Heracross to absorb sleep after Meganium put her to sleep - it worked because Meganium never used GW twice in a row. I finally was able to set up and put up six Curses. I hit twice in a row, but with Subs it didn't KO, and had to wait until all the Sub PP was gone. Meganium began to Struggle but Leftovers recovery ensured that it wouldn't die. I finally struck it down. It was a good thing i had Curselax otherwise...it would have taken even longer.
 
Charge beam Regice vs entire sandstorm team. Guess who won?

REGICE DID. +6 Satk Ice Beams maimed everything. He didn't have TTar to I was relatively safe.

I know, since I got owned by one in the factory (2 battles before the brain snif) I bred one myself and used it in the frontier with great succes. And I make sure that I always have something with toxic to take that thing down.
 
I remember a battle against the battle factory tycoon guy. I had a Jynx and he had Wailord left and we did next to nothing against each other. We ended up struggling (he went before me) but he won thanks to the awsomeness of wailords HP stat (I still love Wailord <3)

Saved the battle on my card to laugh every once in a while.
 
Clefable vs Bliss Action.

Lefties on both pokes, w/ Sandstorm took a while, as this was on wifi.

Took a fucking hour before I ran.
 
I remember having a stallwars against bliss (sigh) with my Cresselia. That took almost forever. Good thing i had TW.
 
i dont know if ingame counts, but i beat emerald E4 by stalling with a level 44 tentacruel. on final battle, i had manectric kill everything and then milotic came out. i used thunderbolt and it paralyzed it. that meant my toxistall tentacruel wouldnt work very well. i stalled by sacrificing my other guys and just let tentacruel hit it with sludge bomb and hyper potion until he ran out of recover and had to full restore so i could toxic him. i had to use 3 leppa berries and eventually started throwing my ultra balls and great balls to stall.

another ingame was when i was chaining for an adamant lickitung. i had a level 1 ralts with growl, mean look, and disable. i had just broken an old chain and went to PC to heal and check IV's of the shiny on i just caught.
so i went back to get a better on, and the first pokemon i found was a wobbuffet. i had maxed all my moves so i had over 100 turns to waste until i could struggle to death. and i hadnt saved after i caught the shiny lickitung and i didnt want to have to find another one. it was quite boring.
