Weird Battles

Ok, if there's another thread like this that's really popular then mods, you can delete it if you wish. If not, awesome!

This thread is for telling us all about some of the weirdest battles you've had. Could be against a friend or a pokemon in the wild.

mine is the Rayquaza at Sky Pillar on Sapphire. If I had a video camera 3 years ago, i'd show everyone but I don't so you'll have to believe me. Anyway, it showed the wild rayquaza appeared bit. my friend was watching and he dared me to throw a poke'ball on the first turn. I did and I caught it. No gameshark[don't have one, glad I don't] no cheats or glitches, he wasn't even weakened. I was stoked.

Everyone else, feel free to post on this subject.

OK, a couple of these recent funny battle moments appeared just a couple of months ago...

1. When I battled Tate and Liza in Sapphire, I decided to have my Banette use curse on Solrock, then eventually take on Lunatone alone. Anyways, on the turn when I brought Banette out, I told Banette to use Curse on Solrock, since it had more HP left than Lunatone. But then, Tate and Liza used a Hyper Potion on Lunatone, and my Swampert KO'd Solrock with Surf that turn. Talk about choosing the wrong target of Curse...

2. I was battling Kyogre with my Raichu. One turn, Kyogre used Body Slam on Raichu and paralyzed him. But at the same time, Kyogre got paralyzed from Raichu's Static ability!!

In my Silver version, right after I got my pokeballs from the professor, the first pokemon I ran into was a Shiny Hoothoot and I caught it without weakening it. But then I restarted my game on accident while my Shiny Noctowl was in the daycare and I totally forgot about it.

Not really weird, but I caught Kyogre on Sapphire with my second Ultra Ball, it was at full health, too.

Then once in the Battle Factory, I was paralyzed, and my opponeny kept using thunderwave on me (Can't remember which Pokemon I was battling) until I fainted it.

Finally, I was at the Battle Tower, up against a Flygon with my Gyarados. I switched to Lapras the next turn, and to my surprise, my opponent switched, also to a Lapras!
Pretty odd how we both switched to the same Pokemon. o_O

Do you count a Groudon using Earthquake all the time on your Tropius weird? He was at nearly-full health and my Tropius kept using Razor Leaf (It was Lv. 27 at that time) until it had like 5 HP left, I used Sleep Powder or something other status-inflicting move and caught it with a Premier Ball o_O

lol, something similar to that happened to me before, too.

I was at the Battle Factory, using a rented special sweeping Gyarados. >_<
My opponent was a ground type, IIRC it was a Claydol, who had maxed out its evasioness with double team. Now I was trying to hit it with surf, (Or whatever my water attack was) but I kept missing. Meanwhile, the foe kept trying to earthquake me, but although it had no effect, it kept on using earthquake, until I got my move to hit and finish it off.

Well that may seem a little more stupid than weird, but whatever.

In the battle factory, a rhydon kept using earthquake against my charizard. That was both weird and lucky.

Catching level 70 Lugia with a pokeball on Gold...

The countless times a Sandshrew has decided grass and water attacks won't be super effective against it anymore....o.o

Fighting Wallace on Emerald... well...I ended up bringing in my Breloom and what does his Kingdra do? Ice Beam? No, Dragon Dance (OR Agility I forget), again and again and again adn again...

Also Sidney attempting to use Fake Out and such on Breloom...... fool.

But as far as wierd battle moments go.... does taking my brothers Kyogre out with a Beautifly count? That was fun... BLIZZARD misses, BLIAZZARD misses.... etc etc

Well this is kinda strange, more lucky, but... I was battleing a friend and he sent out Rayquaza, and I sent out Metagross. I kept trying to use Meator Mash but kept missing until he put me in red hp. Then I use it again and it OHKOs it. Then the next Pokemon was Dragonite and OHKO with MM again and I was laughing. Then I wiped the rest of his team with just an Espeon. We were all at Lv. 100.
Yes, Rank Up! Not really important...
 
I could never forget when my 20 HP Aggron took out my brother's full health Raichu with Mud-Slap and Thunderbolt kept missing
 

Ninjitsu15

Caught!
I caught Sudowoodo at the Battle Frontier with a Net Ball o_O I had stupidly forgotten to buy Poke Balls before fighting it. I only had two Ultra Balls, a Master Ball, and a Dive Ball. I had weakened it into the red, and tossed both Ultra Balls at it. They failed, and I tohught. "Oh crap!'. I chunked the Dive ball and....I caught it. Weird, I know.

I caught Mew with a Great Ball as opposed to the "supposedly" superior Ultra Ball :/
 
in my crystal game i was linking up with a silver game and my sis was playing with me and when she chose her vinasuar on my screen the pokeball opened up and it was the leader of team rocket!
