    Best/Worst Luck in Competitive Pokemon

    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, 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...

    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!
    This is too true... R.I.P Oscar Taveras...

    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.
