Escort Missions

What's the hardest/most annoying escort mission you've ever done? Mine is probably a Mount Blaze escort mission where the Golbat I was escorting kept burning itself, or maybe it was the Howling Forest mission I'm doing right now in which the Wooper I was escorting used all the Reviver Seeds I have from a Monster House that appeared the second I started the third floor.

Mine was when I escorted a Skiploom someplace. It used Synthesis every other turn. I got to the end of the 3rd floor and wanted to murder it.

Probaly one I did in Great Canyon, I think, and I had to escort a Vileplume to something, and it kept using Sweet Scent every other turn. By about the third floor, I was ready to just let it kill itself. That, and I wished I was able to turn off escort Pokemon's moves.

I had an escort mission almost exactly like that before I started over my game to get Eevee. I was escorting a Slaking through Mt. Thunder, and it used every single one of its Slack Offs. Then, it wandered off and got defeated because it had used up its Slack Offs. Even after it used up all of its Slack Offs, every ten seconds I would get a "Slack Off can't be used." My Chikorita would also do the exact same thing until I replaced Synthesis with Bullet Seed.

The most pain-in-the-butt escort mission I've had was escorting...what was it? Crap, I can't remember. Anyways, the most pain-in-the-butt escort mission I've ever had was escorting a Poke'mon through Uproar Forest. Freaking Seedots using Nature Power and killing off the Poke'mon I was escorting from afar. I had to repeat that mission about five times, and all I had to do was take it to the NINTH FLOOR.

I had an annoying mission, I think it was Golbat in some dungeon with lava. No matter how hard I tried, it always flew over the lava and got burnt x_x

It was the most annoying thing in the world, and I'm never doing a slaking mission ever again. D:

Once on my old save file, i had to escort Plusle to Spinarak in Silent Chasm. But Plusle would always try to be tough and stop to fight someone many levels above him. on one of my first tries, i made it to spinarak, and when i talked to spinarak, it said, "Plusle doesn't seem to be around." i didn't even notice that plusle wandered away. all of a sudden, the camera changed to plusle being destroyed by another pokemon. i couldn't even get nearly as far as that time many tries after that. finally, i gave up and deleted that mission.

If you count the one where you have to get Gengar through the Murky Cave, then that one was definately the most irratating.

Every ten seconds, a Crobat or Shedinja would come up behind Gengar and then Gengar would try to fight them off himself. But I suppose you can all figure out how that turned out. ;)

Other than that, I once had to escort a Starmie through Mt. Freeze. I took it, knowing that Mt. Freeze wasn't too hard of a dungeon. Keeping Starmie alive wasn't the problem. The problem was that Starmie kept trying to use Recover every few steps. It took so long to get through because of that, it wasn't even funny. And the destination floor was like, the 7th floor. :/

I hate escort missions so much now, I refuse to do them anymore. =_=

I did a couple since some were easy then came a * Rank mission in which I had to escort a Dunsparce to the 50th floor of Silver Sea, then the major monster house happened and I just let the thing die. No more escort missions for me. Y'know they should really think about training instead of needing help to go there
 
^^seriously, but its always a misdrevus that kills gengar on my game :<
mt freeze was easy.... murky cave... not so.
i need to stock up on.... 10 reviver seeds or more just so gengar won't die all the time >_> and he goes on and on about world domination...my butt, he's only level 15... not gonna get anywhere at that level ._.
 
Well, I recently escorted a Numel through Howling Forest successfully....barely. I faced a monster house, my partner making me faint from Bullet Seed, Numel wandering off, but I came out scarred but alive. Just barely.

I hate escorting any psychic Pokemon. They all use Odour Sleuth and wake up Pokemon I try to sneak past!

I had to do that one too, by the 2nd floor I started attacking it with blast seeds and silver spikes just to make it go away. I shut off before killing it of course ;)

The Slaking using Slack-Off was SOOO obnoxious! It took me like three tries... and I've had the floating-rescuee-getting-burned problem too, mine was a Meditite in Mt. Blaze. Not worth it. :)
