The "Wild Pokémon are really dumb" moment
 
When was it that you thought "Wow, that wild Pokémon did something really stupid"?
I just had one now: Trying to catch Lugia in SS. Lugia used Rain Dance right before the rain stopped. TWICE.

Druid April 9th, 2010 11:46 PM

Mine's with Lugia also - I managed to get it under five hp, paralyze it, and reduce its accuracy with flash six times. My single, lower-leveled pokemon was barely touched. Whenever it managed to hit me, it used rain dance xD

Moved to general Pokemon gaming as this can apply to basically any main Pokemon game, not just HGSS.

hyperblast81 April 10th, 2010 9:07 AM

Havent had one yet, I'll probably notice one when I truely get "In" to the HG I got 2 days ago.

Just had a dumb trainer moment in PBR (Yes i still play PBR)...
My graveler (last pokemon) against a combusken (also last pokemon).
Graveler's health was low.
I knew combusken could easily KO me with a Double Kick, which i had seen it use before.
But NO, it kept using quick attack. I guess the trainer's AI was wired to use Quick Attack to finish off pokemon. It took him 3 hits, and my Graveler was still alive. I just kept using Rock Blast. Then I won. Its like he threw the match...

(Edit: Sorry, i didnt notice this was WILD pokemon. Oh well, theres no difference, really)

What's PBR? D: LOL, I'm confused.

The Mewtwo in SS failed against my level 7 Slowpoke.

Used Amnesia in the first turn, my Slowpoke used Yawn.

Second turn, it uses Guard Swap (yes, on a level 7 Slowpoke), then falls asleep. I proceed to tackle it with Slowpoke for a laugh.

Repeated that cycle until I caught it.

Kon~ April 10th, 2010 2:45 PM

I always laugh when I've got a Pokemon into the red, mine's in the red, it has a chance to finish me off and it uses a stat move.

(Also, not wild, but this happened with the Kimono Girls' Jolteon. I ended up killing it with an Ursaring who was burned and in the red.)

otakulily April 10th, 2010 3:04 PM

Wading through a cave full of one-turn, self-destructing Gravelers is not fun.

I know exactly what you mean. :(

EmeraldSerenade April 10th, 2010 4:40 PM

When a wild pokemon uses a status move when your already inflicted with it -.-

AuroraHearts April 10th, 2010 4:46 PM

well i have a 'trainer pokemon are really dumb" moment,

in the kanto region,
sabrinas gym,
one of the old ladies you fight there has this hypno
who used skilled swap, then did it again, and again and eventually died with its original skill XD

i love it when stupid pokemon do this

This happens to me all the time. :pink_disbelief:

Hantsuki April 10th, 2010 4:58 PM

When a Pokemon like Raticate is using Quick Attack when my Pokemon just used Fly or Dig last turn. Same thing when they are using normal attacks on my Haunter. It's just not going to work guys! Unless you are a Hoothoot/Noctowl using Foresight first.

Lieutenant Unstable April 10th, 2010 5:22 PM

I've always thought Self Destruct was pretty stupid. (I always run from Gravellers. Always. >_>)

DXrobots April 10th, 2010 5:51 PM

when a pokemon uses self destruct against my gengar its like ok, it didn't even phase me.

zommy08 April 10th, 2010 11:26 PM

In Platinum, training a Shelgon, I met a Graveler. This happened 3 TIMES! It KOed itself using SelfDestruct while I used Protect. :P

mattman324 April 11th, 2010 12:10 PM

In the origanals, the AI was notoriously bad. I remember one time my level 11 Squirtle (Yeah, it was in Yellow, and I dislike Yellow, but still.) was being trained in Digglet's Cave. The level 31 Dugtrio COULD have KOd me in one hit with Dig, but NO! Using GROWL was so much more important.

I won. :P

Sydian April 11th, 2010 12:26 PM

Ho-oh is stupid. It kept using Sunny Day. How hot does he like his spring break? Gracious.

ggctuk April 11th, 2010 12:42 PM

Electrodes are stupid. Take those ones powering the generator in Mahogany Town's Rocket Base. They use Screech first to sharply lower your Defense, then use SonicBoom.

shroud April 11th, 2010 2:11 PM

in the old RBY games when i just started i remember having caught a geodude and practiced battling against pikachus in the viridian forest. the only attack they knew was T-Shock. :P

BridZworld April 11th, 2010 5:10 PM

I think wild Pokemon are stupid, when you have a level 50+ Pokemon in your party, and you come accross a level 8/9 Pokemon, but they wont let you run. I don't find anything more infuriating than "Can't escape"

The Girl Once named Tracie April 11th, 2010 5:19 PM

When Moltres used agility for the 5,000,000th time when its speed was already maxed out

Destiny Bond April 11th, 2010 5:41 PM

When a wild hunter kept useing nightmare like three times, when my pokemon was not asleep

Niprop April 12th, 2010 9:24 PM

...No such luck for me. The pokés I usually face seem to know type effectiveness, and some even know how to actually power up their moves one turn and attack with the corresponding special/physical attack on the next. Maybe I'm just (un)lucky.

PuyoPuyo Raffine April 12th, 2010 9:25 PM

when I was against a pelipper and it used swallow constantly without using stockpile =/

ChrisTom April 12th, 2010 9:49 PM

Starly from Gen IV. I've said it once, and I'll say it again:

STUPID AND MOST ANNOYING POKEMON EVER!!

Turtwig used Absorb. 2 Damage!

Starly used Growl!

Turtwig used Absorb. 1 Damage!

Starly used Growl!

Turtwig tries to run away! Can't Escape!

Starly used Growl!

43 hours later...

Starly used Growl!

Turtwig kills itself out of boredom!

PuyoPuyo Raffine April 12th, 2010 9:51 PM

that DOES get annoying....maybe it was smart enough to know how to piss you off to that extent

Yeah, that's never fun. Happens to me all the time! =\ It gets annoying after a while.

Kip April 13th, 2010 10:30 AM

I remember one from Brown (and if you don't know what that one is I may have to shoot you :P) aaages back. Was against the electric gym leader - something like a Lv. 66 Riachu, wiped out all my party and the only one left was a Lv. 24 Cubone. But Raichu only knew electric attacks and Cubone isn't affected at all!

Took about 10 mins but I eventually won. :)

And of course, in the wild on any game, you cannot beat this one.

"Magikarp used Splash!"

RivalGator April 13th, 2010 10:48 AM

I actually have a pretty funny story about that actually. I was training my Banette in Victory Road in Johto, and these damn Graveller kept self destructing and it doesn't effect little Banette! So I basically got free and easy exp. points. It was awesome and easy.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze April 13th, 2010 11:02 AM

Pidgey used Fly!
Graveller used Rock Polish
Graveller used Selfdestruct!!!

Lol, but even worse is when Elite Four or Gym Leaders use Perish Song on their last pokemon, when you have two of yours left.

otakulily April 13th, 2010 6:08 PM

Try fighting a Wooper ten levels lower than you with a Pikachu who only know surf and thunderbolt. :/

I, unfortunately, know this to be all too true.

Timepiece April 14th, 2010 5:30 PM

Anytime I enter an area with pokemon which know self-destruct or explode, I lead with a ghost. Generally, this nets me half the encounters worth of literally taking a nap and waiting for them to commit suicide.

lol, same!

I flashed lugia so much it kept missing, and paralyzed it too xD

I caught it while using my lvl 5 hoothoot I use for flying. I think Lugia cried in shame...

MudkipManiac April 14th, 2010 6:33 PM

entei asleep n in red hp

zach threw a ultra ball
almost had it

entei woke up, entei fled >:O

MASTERBOSSgodora April 15th, 2010 5:04 AM

a wild graveler that used self-destruct when my pidgeot was in the air with fly.

joeyoung1994 April 15th, 2010 5:39 AM

I was in the Elite 4, and Bertha used a Full Restore on her Gliscor, which could only use Struggle.

gizmogames April 15th, 2010 7:19 PM

i was training my gengar and a wild graveler apeared
it used selfdestruct as i sad *sigh* darn.
BUT selfdestruct is a normal type move
Gengar was not hurt and Geodude comitted suicide

Fredward April 15th, 2010 7:34 PM

I have too many.
Especially when they use moves that poison/paralyze/sleep over and over.
Its a little irritating, but hey, what can I do about it.
xD

Same with me. GLOOM, DO YOU EVER LEARN THAT YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE I REPEAT ONE STATUS CONDITION?!?
I also like it when Pokémon lower your attack stat ALL THE TIME and you're using special attacks. XD

SIN1488 April 16th, 2010 2:08 PM

I think it's hilarious but kind of sad when a Graveler uses self-destruct on one of my ghost pokemon. :laugh:

Or if my pokemon is already paralyzed or confused, and the wild pokemon uses thunder wave or confuse ray again.

Another one is a flying-type pokemon that uses roost as it's first move.
