4th Gen The "WTF" Moment Thread

[Jack of trades]

Not much to say, but i remember soft resetting about 30 odd times trying to catch HO-OH without using the master ball. I paralyzed it, put it to sleep, used false swipe till it was down to 1HP and no matter how ultra balls i threw, it was not happening!

Caught HO-OH with one ultra-ball, all i had to do was make it sleep, and take it to half health.

I was just about to fight the last Team Rocket Executive in the Observation Deck, and Baoba calls me! He says something like I need to catch a Pokemon in the Safari Zone.

So random!

A few minutes ago, when I was going to rebattle Pokemon League(with all 16 badges) I've finally arrived to the Champion's Room. I decided to choose Ampharos level 68, because I thought that Lance is still has a bunch of Dragonites. But when the battle started I've seen... SALAMENCE LEVEL 72?! I screamed a lot, because that was deadly and I wasn't prepared for this. It was like "WTF, dude, what's happened to your Dragonites?!". :D It was a pretty tough battle, and I haven't trained enough for Champ. But anyway I've beat him! :)

When I was battling Eusine for the first time, I wasn't prepared for the battle, and I was losing. 4 of my six Pokemon fainted, and all that was left was an HM slaved that I hadn't trained... so I sent my Goldeen out, chanting to myself that it wasn't gonaa live against the Electrode that was out, even though its HP was fairly low. Well... Thunder misses and my level 17 Goldeen kills Electrode, netting me the win. XD Wtf?

Getting a Level 100 Haunter for my Level 25 Haunter. I put it up as a joke. It had the item and everything. I wanted to evolve mine via the successful trade glitch. I shouldn't have put it up for another Haunter. I did leave it there for a week, no Wi0Fi acess for that time. It's sad, I lost my Pokemon :( and got this:

GGengar, now Haunter - Level 100
"Apparently met at Level 13" Old Chateu -
AttK: 160
Def: 184
Sp.Atk: 320
Sp.Def: 144
Speed: 259

Probably a hack :(

What,, the, fog?!

I remembered another moment. This one was on the shoddy servers at smogon. I was in a UU battle with someone, and my lead was a Sceptile. His lead had ice beam (sadly, I don't remember what it was...), and I was waiting for Sceptile to faint, only notice that my ultra gimmicky Bright Powder kicked in. I was like ">.> .... Free Rock Slide? :D" Ice beam missed 2 more times after that. XD It was hax... My Sceptile KO'd his lead and rage quit on me. LOL

My moment was catching the three beasts...
Only to find out that all three had horrible natures...

...I was basicly [>.<]

 

[Kita-Angel]

I think the wierdest WTF moment I have had so far is when I was running around disguised at a Team Rocket member, and some old dude in the Department Store was like "Team Rocket has no business shopping here... we don't sell sanity!"

Wiiiiiierd!

 

[The Garchomper]

My WTF moment was when i caught Mewtwo with a pokeball with 1/2 of his health. I was just like WTF?!?!?! But i'm not complaining

 

[Captain Hobo.]

~ KEKE!

When I was battling Lugia, got it to 10 HP or less then used only ONE Poke ball! :cer_boogie:

 

[rstevenson1976]

I'm trying to level my level 15 gible and level 15 bagon on route 7 and my gible gets pwnd by every meowth it sees!!!! It's a friggin dragon for crying out loud! WTF?!?

 

[boomerjp]

First WTF moment for me was when I first faced Lance in HG, and his Gyrados made my Ampharos flinch 4 times in a row with Waterfall. That's .1*.1*.1*.1 which is 1/10000 chance of happening. He must be holding a king's rock!

 

[jab2033]

I decided to try the bug-catching contest and caught a lv13 Sycther. I think I got this made, with Scyther being one of the best pokemon to catch in the contest.

I don't remember 3rd place. 2nd was a Pinser, so I'm like, "yes, i've got this!" 1st place...

CATERPIE!! A freakin' Caterpie!

WTF???

It's actually a 20% chance for flinch with Waterfall, I believe. Nonetheless 0.2^4 = 0.0016, or 0.16% chance, so certainly unlikely. (But if you consider how many people would have played HGSS and gotten up to there then, it becomes somewhat likely it would happen to someone I guess).

WTF???

I''ll add that the Bug Catching competition depends not only on the Pokemon but the health it has remaining when caught, so you can actually win with a Catepie if it is at a high level/near max HP. Not that it isn't weird. =p

^Very true. If memory serves me right I remember catching a full health butterfree and winning the contest while the runner-up had a butterfree as well.

On D/P When your in the battle frontier you don't get there data, Now, Expecting better, I was there in HG/SS For SIX HOURS, I even ordered a Kebab too celebrate nearly finishing my Dex BUT, It wasn't there! Fury! (The Kebab also tasted great thought ;D )

Well that makes sense actually, if the Battle Frontier let you register Pokédex Data, (Especially in the battle factory) it would defeat the purpose of having to actually search, evolve, and trade to complete the Pokédex, now wouldn't it? ;)

 

[dyenguard]

Im not sure which pokemon I used, but I attacked a snorlax with a critical hit flamethrower, and not even an eighth of its health went down D:

 

[Musica]

Is it me or the Safari Zone Guy is broke and just gave me his place to handle all his fees?
Wtf, yea. D:
