I have seen a lot of threads going on about how lucky they are so I thought what about sharing your unlucky experiances.Mine are
catching my first shiny (lotad).I then forgot to save and turned it off.
getting pokerus and not knowing it and then I lost it.
spending days trying to catch Rayquaza and then my brother caught it with a poke ball on his first go.

As you can see I am rather unlucky.

my most unlucky happening was when i was raising my pupitar at the elite 4,I got a tyranitar after beating steven,then when it registers your team as hall of famers it sayed saving don't turn of the power,and my power cut out!!!!,It was corrupted and then loaded it back to the pokemon centre when I got the larvitar from my LG game!..Usually I save frequently incase of these unfortunte happenings,I guess I was just UNLUCKY!

I remember the batteries falling out of my GBA when I caught a shiny Chimecho once. I was so close. That was with my friend's GBA, which lacks a batery cover, unfortunately.

One should never try to catch rare Pokémon in Safari Zone when batteries are low. I spent almost an hour there. Suddenly my GBA decided to turn off. I lost Pikachu, Girafarig (it was so hard to catch), Heracross, Phanpy, Natu and Psyduck. Yay.

Heracross is actually available in all 5 GBA 3rd gen pokémon games.

Anyway, in battle factory, losing all 3 of my pokémon to a single, cheap, focus banding Machoke. Note my team had a Kadabra and Masquarein on it.

Unlucky all around

Silver- Caught shiny Nidorina and deleted game.
FireRed- Caught shiny Golbat and my [SPOIL]Action Replay[/SPOIL] deleted my game, along with 6 level 100 pkmn and a Jirachu, not to mention 10 colloseum pkmn.
Gold- Raised my Lapras's level by 30 and forgot to save. ;-;
Sapphire- Encountered shiny Regice and failed to catch despite using 10 great balls, 5 pokeballs, and 30 ultra balls.

This is really bad but when I caught Latias for my brother, we were celebrating, his arm hits the Gameboy and it freezes. The look on our faces was a Priceless Kodak moment. In my Ruby I also was at the 35th Trainer in the Battle Tower and had just defeated a Regice with my last Pokemon, Raichu. The Trainer had one Pokemon left, sends out a Registeel, and it knows Earthquake. I wanted to knock down the tower at that moment. I may have more but can't think of them now.

my most unlucky moment was when a firend of mine used my master ball on rayquazza and saved!

Back I guess??
my most unlucky moment didn´t happened with me, I was taking a shower and my cousing was training my sceptile in sapphire, the he saw a shining wailmer, then he looked in my party for the attack that has the lowest base stat, (sceptile´s absorb...) then wailmer fainted.... .
another one happened 4 times with my silver, linking pokéstadium2 and then the game was erased, ahh, I got a gligar with earthquake (that time gligar didn´t learn earthquake).
ah, there is more one! in emerald when I beat the E4 and the TV showed that thing of the lati@s choose red instead of blue.............. the worst thing that I made ever...

My unluckiness is getting a latios with an impish nature. It does have flawless speed though. In my Leaf Green, I recently got a relaxed suicune with what looks like zero DVs in defense, speed, special attack and special defense while having a poor attack DV and a so-so HP DV. I render it only useful for possible trading purposes now.
