Trying to attack a normal type with a ghost type attack once -_- alder's bouffalant against my chandelure. I used Shadow Ball and nothing happened and I was like "Oh wait.." also another bouffalant that had sap sipper against my serperior. I couldn't figure it out why it wasn't working X.X

On Pokémon Silver I was stuck against my rival after the second gym. He had a bayleef so I caught a geodude thinking grass attacks wouldn't hurt his rocky body very much. I was wrong.

I used to think rock types were immune to electric attacks (Because all the ground types in gen 1 were also rock typed). It took me a long time to understand how my Aerodactyl got hit by Thunderbolts.

I feel sorry for you, it looks like you forgot about abilities.

One day at a time.
In firered, I had my charmeleon and charizard use cut on the machop line because I thought it would cut their muscles and make them weaker.

Quite funny at times
No matter how many times I use a ghost attack on a normal type, and it doesn't affect them, I still make that mistake. Every time.

It was my Empoleon vs. Cynthia's Garchomp. I misclicked and used Flash Cannon instead of Ice Beam. *Facepalm*
