    On HG, I was walking with my Poliwag in Olivine City, at the beach near Route 40, when I turned around to talk to it. Then, next thing I know, a box of text at the bottom of my screen reads: "Poliwag Roared Loudly." :cer_disbelief: WTF? I didn't know Poliwag could roar! :cer_confused:

    LOL, my Chikorita roared loudly once. :P

    Also, I was fighting Whitney, I sent out Gengar and her Miltank's stomp hit. I never knew Miltank had the scrappy ability. After Focus Blast finally hit I OHKO'd Miltank :D

    Another story is I was fighting Jasmine, and I sent out my Meganium against Steelix. I use Magical Leaf and it OHKO's it.

    Trying to catch Zapdos this afternoon. Used a lvl 45 Aggron, because he's a ground/rock type. I figured using him would make him immune to Zapdos electric attacks....apparently not. He was 1 hit KO'd by Zapdos's discharge. I was like WTF? I guess there must be some sort of explanation or exception that I do not know about. I still can't figure out how that was possible...

    Thats because Aggron is Steel/Rock type.

    My wtf moment was where i was playing the battle Tower in HG, and i won 5 battles straight without damage, then i went up against a Dugtrio, and it fissured my 3 pokemon (Starmie, Sizor, and Salamence)...¬¬

    Ohh I see...

    I had a similar WTF moment this morning. I battled at the Battle Factory. Beat the first 7 easily, then I did it a second tim, and when I got to the 7th person, I beat their first two Pokemon and then the last one just completely defeated me. Don't remember which Pokemon, I was tired when I played it. Wasn't happy about that. I'm desperately trying to get BP.

    having my pokemon at lv. 35 and above and still getting smashed by milktank.

    being able to run through the entire e4 with a lv.61 dragonite an two full restores.

    winning all the events in a pokelathon event only to lose to the person that always came in second just because he got points for having the "pokemon that failed the most."

    when a lv. 10 ditto wiped out my whole team.

    Er... did Lugia just transform into Ho-Oh or did you mean to say Lugia?

    My WTF moment today was when I found out Fire wasn't super-effective on Flying. I played Pokemon for 5 years and never knew that.

    I have quite a few "WTF?" moments. For example, when I try to use a move like Psychic and it doesn't affect the foe's Pokémon, ending up in a horribly corrupted plan.

    That has happened to me more than a few times against Stunky, It always seems to go:

    Oh Stunky he's a poison type I'll KO him with psychic
    *psychic had no effect*
    oh yeah... poison *and* dark... blast
    *stunky used Night Slash*
    and I just have to hope my pokemon doesn't faint

    You'd think I'd learn.

    Finding out that a repel does'nt work on a tentacool
    me:i don't want to run into wild pokemon on the water route so I'll use a repel
    tentacool: lets attack this trainer
    me: AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    ps: is this a special ability of tentacool or was that just a glitch?

    If Tentacool was at a higher level than the first Pokemon in your party, then that's why you ran into it.

    My moment:

    Caught Latias with a Fast Ball the first encounter and try. Saved the game right after.

    The same thing with Whitney happened to me. The Scrappy ability makes sense though.

    My most WTF moment?

    I was training my Yanma, so I decided to check how it was doing. Apparently, "Yanma nearly fell over" or something like that. How on Earth can a Yanma fall over? >_<

    I was using my Pidgeot in battle when I was against some Hiker who had a Graveler. Anyway, I used fly and my Pidgeot went up into the air waiting to attack next turn but then the Hiker got his Graveler to use self-destruct and my Pidgeot went unharmed because Pidgeot was still in the air. It was weird the Hiker decided to do that, it was the easiest win ever.

    Haha, I did exactly that the other day, (yeah, I just got SS a few days ago) but with my Togetic. Pretty much:

    Hiker Whatever sent out GRAVELER!
    TOGETIC flew up into the air!
    The foe's GRAVELER used Self-Destruct!
    The foe's GRAVELER's attack missed!
    The foe's GRAVELER fainted!
    Hiker Whatever sent out RATTATA!
    TOGETIC used FLY!
    The foe's RATTATA fainted!

    So, pretty much, I beat him with one move XD

    Oh, and I get the old 'Ultra Ball doesn't work, let's spam crappy balls, HOLY IT WORKED' a lot... I caught my Red Gyarados with a Heal Ball XD
