Post here about the most idiotic,funniest thing you or anyone you know did in the TCG.
One time, this guy I was playing with (back in the old days) used a Computer Search to get a pokéball.(WTF?)
Has anything like that ever happened to you?If so share with us.
PS:And so SPAM posts like "NO WAI! no one can be that dumb!" Because they can.

Lol! Here's another one:I had only 4 cards in my deck and my opponent (who still had 3 prizes left) used Gyarados star's All-Out Blast.

Meh... whatever...
There was this game in the Nationals here. Anyways, it was the semi finals. This guy played Holon Lass (of course it's the begining of the game). And surprisingly, no Energy cards came out. Now isn't that a "wtf?" scene? XP

Lol, yeah, and it had to happen in the Nationals. xD;

Anyways, there's this one time when I used a Rare Candy over a a Pokemon in which I just placed, but instead of its Stage 2, I placed down its Stage 1 card. Out of options at that time. Or how about putting down the Umbreon EX card when my opponent has no Benched Pokemon? xD;;

Which reminds me - my opponent only had 1 pokemon in play left. I played 3 Pokemon reversal so I could play steven's advice (for 1 card draw), just because I was 1 rare candy away from winning the game. And guess what? I got it :D

My brother based his deck around one Pokemon, right, so what happened was, he never got in play. Then, one muatch, he got those Evo cards. So he moved all his energies onto this one pokemon, leaving a hopeless one out, and I had 1 prize left. He very nearly got the thing in play, but I decided to continuously used Energy Removal, so he ran out of energies, and the I just used stomp or something and killed him...

Once at a prerealease I had the game in my hand one energy away and I used a holon lass and with 11 of the 15 cards left in my deck being enegys so I drew two cards and I didn't get any energys kid I was facing then won =(
 
I was playing a kid and I had two sceptiles in play both which were able to use solar beam and I had two prize cards left and he switched his lickitung with an ex which my sceptiles could beat in one move PS it was double battle

Do you know how I used to make people give up?
Minum and energy removal. Nuff said.

Someone did Take down on me (way back when Base Set was still in circulation) with his Arcanine, and he had enough energy to whoop my *** with Flamethrower. He took himself out. _-_

Another close one was when someone played a Base Set 2 Charizard. But I had a Dark Wartortle in play. If you recall, Dark Wartortle has a move called Mirror Shell that reflects the damage back as well as taking it. The Charizard used it's move AFTER I set up Mirror Shell. Took itself out, and this was in a regional tourney. My reply?

"...This is where you were MEANT to refuse to attack."

It's black magic!
My opponent one time in an old local contest kept on using cards to draw more cards. To make it worse, I kept on using cards/attacks that discarded cards from his side (mostly energy cards). Eventually I won due to the fact he had no cards left and I won.

Oh noes, toast =O
My friend Klem put a fire and water energies on his Mr Mime Ex, even though he had two psycics in his hand >.<

The funny thing is, his deck was Psycic/ Water, so God knows why he had fire energies XD
 
I was battling at Supanova[years ago] and this guy had his bench full of stage 2 evolutions[except for Vibrava] that all did 30 or more damage and he was thrashing me and I drew a Mr Mime from Base Set. I had it in play and his only chance to beat me was with his Vibrava and he evolved it. He eventually decked out and I won.

THis wasn't really an idiotic move but by far one of the funniest things I've seen while playing. My friend was using spidna (legend maker I believe) and used whimsy draw and drew his entire deck. XD

Another time while he and I were playing I was one prize card away from winning and all he had was abra (rocket). But instead of me just destroying him, he used vanish and shuffled himself back into the deck and lost.
