...is a hack.
I got Mean Look'd by a level 14 wild Gengar with my Lopunny out. I was intending to Toxic it so I could catch it, completely forgetting that Gengar was immune to Toxic, and then I was stuck in the battle with Return and Drain Punch as my only attacks, neither of which could hit Gengar, Gengar couldn't hurt me either.

I reset after about twenty turns of doing nothing.

EDIT: Oh, hey! Rank up!

I was paired up with another trainer I forget the name but she had Arcanine and all it used was Helping Hand so I killed it every time we got in a battle

I was in the battle tower, and it was first turn. Yanmega against tyranitar. I had a voice in my head telling me to protect to get a speed boost, but I just went ahead and tried to hypnotize tyranitar. It was a CScarf tyranitar...

Togepi used Metronome.
Metronome turned into Explosion.

I tried using Psycho Cut on a Tyranitar, as I was faster then it, and thought that the player I was up against would switch it out. Unfortunately, he didn't, but oddly enough, I tried hitting it with Close Combat the next turn, and he still didn't switch it out.

Mine's also Metronome-based... Battle Factory, fourth run-through. I had a Chansey, Scyther, and a Weezing I think.

The basic jist is, it was Chansey vs Lickitung, and Chansey's metronome had used Ingrain, so it was stuck there. When I ran out of Metronomes leaving Lickitung with red HP, it turns out Chansey's remaining moves were Refresh, Minimize and Defence Curl.

Lickitung had Brick Break, Wrap, and two non-damaging moves.

One of Chansey's Metronome moves was Ingrain, so it was stuck there. It was also holding Leftovers. Lickitung rarely used Brick Break, and when it did Chansey had restored all it's HP in a few turns thats to Ingrain + Leftovers.

I was left doing all these defenive moves, effectively leaving the match as a stalemate, so I ran out of patience and turned my DS off. >_>
