Be it Showdown, Online, or the PSS, share your greatest flukes and your worst timing for hax.

Let's start with THIS.

After a long break from competitive play in general, I return to Pokemon Showdown. This is the first battle I get;

And now I remember why I stopped in the first place...

I don't feel like looking up the recording, but a few years ago I was fighting Misty in HG and got frozen on something like 4 out of 5 or 5 our of 6 uses of Ice Beam. The chances of that happening are comparable to finding a Shiny pre-Gen 6. Stupid Lapras.

Also I've lost a bunch of Battle Spots to, uh, very amateur players due to lovely lovely critical hits and Dark Void not missing and paralysis and Dark Void still not missing, and stuff.

Yesterday I missed four Focus Blasts in a row. Yay me.

Yesterday, while on Showdown, I got frozen...for the second time ever. And my Roserade did thaw out for the rest of the match...

EDIT: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-256996478

On the one hand, first turn thaw out.
On the other hand, two paralysis in a row...

X!!

I haven't played competitive Pokemon in a long time, but I do remember one battle where I had good luck. It was my Empoleon vs a Cloyster and then an Eelektross. I somehow was able to beat the Cloyster, but my Empoleon was a hit away from fainting when the Eelektross came out. I was faster than it, and my ice beam froze the Eelektross and I ended up winning!

At the end there he missed which let me burn him. Not sure if it mattered because I'm not sure if clefable would have taken the move well enough. that match was insanely down to the wire btw I almost assumed I had lost.

My opponent must've gotten tons of minimum damage rolls, because I didn't deserve this win. Nevertheless, the comeback is so real.

The other day I was playing Black 2 and I was VSing a trainer with a Tympole. Level 44. I was using my team of Samurott, Lucario, Magmar, Jolteon, Zoruark, and Vibrava. The Tympole set up a Rain Dance and with the Swift Swim ability and Hydro Pump, it rekt my team. Samurott finally lived on 4 HP from a critical hit Hydro Pump and killed it with a Return.

- 2 of his pokemon were scarfed.
- Most of them were levitating/flying types, so avoided the Sticky Web I wasted a sweeper on.
- Seriously overestimated Flygon's Sp. Def

This is easily the most haxy match I've ever been a part of.

Although, to be fair, it was a really bitchy Togekiss set.
