Your most 'AARGH!!' moment

Resistance is futile
battling the rival in SS, we where both down to our last poke and both had red HP, all that was needed was one more quick attack and he was finnished, i tried to be a smart - *bleep* and used flame wheel instead. He moved first - since when was a blue crocodile faster than a stoat on fire. ARGHHHH.

I don't always say AAARGH. But when I do, I almost had it. Its so frustrating catching Legendaries! Get them down to there last HP, put em to sleep or paralyze em and they STILL break out! I went through almost 50 ultra balls trying to catch Latios... >_< Do Legendaries have to be the EXCEPTION when it comes to catch rate!?

TM87? I got TM32 :]
Throwing about 40 ultra balls at Lugia in SoulSilver, and then throwing a Poké Ball for the sake of it.
Guess what?
Lugia was caught. :[

I was on Smogon's tournament channel in OU.

1v1
Forretress (About 45% HP remaining) used Volt Switch. Slowbro took 35% HP
Me: YES! I WIN!
Slowbro (Poisoned, had about 5% HP left) used Fire Blast! Slowbro missed!
Slowbro is hurt by poison!
Slowbro Fainted!
Opponent: In your f*****g face.
 
When you encounter a shiny and you have no pokeballs left AARGH!!!

Unintentionally critting wild Pokemon (especially rare ones) when you're trying to catch them, but instead knock them out.

Guuuuuurl,, mama don't get, "AARGH", moments; mama gets, "Oh gurl, please. Why'd y'all have to go and do that? You now on mama's list of enemies!"

This happens everytime mama is trying to level up a specific Pokémon, and the poor child gets whacked by some rock slide. They make mama cry!

That's why I always carry backup.
Mi AAARRGGHH moments are getting criticle hits on shinies and killing them, or finding a shiny when I'm hunting for something else.

One of mine would be fighting Lance. He was down to his last Dragonite. I someone managed to not get killed for 3 whole turns. Problem was my Blizzard missed... 3 times in a row. I proceeded to lose. I thought I had it in the bag, and just everything went down hill.

Man that is why you have ice beam!

When I sad down and played SS, I started at ilex forest, play the whole game to battle with lugia without saving, stock up with balls to catch lugia, battle lugia, it takes down my first Pokemon, finger slips and a accidentally tap flee, I don't turn off cos I've basically played from the beginning of the game.
I learned my lesson from that.
