You know Pokemon is trolling you when...
Out of curiosity, can you please tell me about those "You know Pokemon is trolling you when..." moments? Like what game, and how? Recent or the most frustrating are best, but any one of those moments is fine, too.
My personal moment (or at least the most recent) was with a trainer in Black 2/ White 2. Every time I used counter, I got attacked with leer. When I didn't, they used Bite. And when I decided to use counter, they decided to 1-hit KO my Riolu with Tackle. What. The. Heck. |
I think of battle facilities when I think of trolling in Pokemon games. Like, when I'm about to win, critical/status/miss hax on my behalf may cause me to lose the entire streak I'm in.
|
Not sure if this counts, but at the Battle Arcade I just happened to hit the "Switch Pokemon" panel with an opponent who I had completely covered type-wise (plus they sucked, plus it was one battle before Dahlia). Needless to say I lost that battle and like a 20-win streak. Thanks Pokemon. Thanks.
|
Not a big deal but still a troll moment. I once lost to Gary/Blue at the very start because he critical hit me twice. I decided just to start over. It was a minor battle but the fact I lost some starter money over something that stupid was bugging me to the point where I didn't want to move on with that file.
|
WHITNEY'S MILTANK IN GSC! I would think everyone would agree her Miltank is the ULTIMATE Troll. She keeps trollin with that rollout.
|
Hustle. And I wondered why Crunch kept missing -_- All that EV training probably gone to waste now, I can't keep having moves miss.
|
When you're trying to catch a legendary Pokémon, use the whole storage of balls, run out of balls so you restart and catch the Pokémon by using 1 ball!
Seriously WTF?! |
Cheren got crit hax in the first gym battle and every time, it seemed like he knew. No Work Ups, just straight up spammed Tackle and got a crit every time. Reset, tried again, same thing happened. Exact same thing. WHAT THE **** GAME.
|
I know this is more of a strategy, but I dislike it when fighting-type opponents use Endure, leaving it with 1 HP left, and after my pokemon finishes attacking, uses Reversal. BOOM. Almost certain instant KO. I tell you..the AI in B&W2 has become too smart. Forces me to save every time I near a black belt trainer in fear of losing. ><
|
Probably Elesa's Volt Switch strategy in Black & White. Thankfully I had a Sandile on my team so I didn't happen to me, but in some cases it feels like she's trolling you.
|
A long time ago,in a cartridge colored blue...
Lv 60 Charizard vs Lv 15 Zubat.... ....go to hell confuse ray spamming Zubat!!! l:< |
When the Pokemon you used Hypnosis on wakes up at the start of the next turn every time.
|
You know Pokemon is trolling you when you're at the battle frontier, your Slobro has 3 amnesias up and a Dragonite has Thunderbolt, stuns you on the first hit, it takes 12 hits from it and one slack off to recover 6 turns worth of it, but yet the paralysis managed to get a 12 turn streak on you. Unluckiest day of my life in Pokemon.
|
In General? When they didn't allow Phione in the Wi-Fi battles :P
|
i used Sleep Talk with a Rest-Sleep Talk combo Pokemon and it kept calling out Rest for 5. Damn. Turns. I was so pissed, but meh... it wasn't in a Battle Facility but it was still annoying to have that.
|
I still remember that Whitney's Miltank!
I almost defeat it but it use Milk Drink! This is why I HATE Miltank! |
I was working through the tenth floor of the White Treehollow and I only had my Charizard left when I saw a nurse, with 30-something HP left and poisoned. She used some black magic to use Protect twice, and the poisoned killed me. .__.
|
When you notice that everyone in Black 2 is a higher level than you are.
All of your replies are pretty good and funny, and some I had never even thought about until now! :D Keep it up! |
.....When your Pokemon is too high of a lvl to listen ! xD
|
When a Shedinja is supposed to steal the spirit of whoever even looks inside its hollow body from the back, and then it dies to weather damage immediately.
|
When you try using ground moves on a flying pokemon >:D
|
I have a few:
One time I missed with Overheat 3 times in a row. Once in Gen 4 I was battling a friend. She critical'd me 4 times in a row, so I used the Quick Claw 4 times in a row with my Steelix to destroy her team. Once in Gen 4 I was battling a different friend. At the end we each had one guy left. I had a Blissey, he had some physical sweeper that could take out my Blissey with one hit and was faster than Blissey, but his guy was Toxic'd. The only way I could win was by successfully using Protect 4 times in a row. It totally worked, he wasn't very happy about it lol. |
Two things I remember from Gen 2:
|
To quote a recently sent e-mail:
Quote:
|
When the first shiny you ever run into is the one before an NPC gives you Pokeballs...
|
Whenever the opponent uses Protect/Detect 3 times in a row... AND IT WORKS EVERY TIME.
|
When a Magmortar uses a Rock Slide on a Sturdy Magnezone; we already know what you're up to.
|
You Know Pokemon is trolling you when you have six Pokemon at full HP and the person your battling has one Pokemon left, that Pokemon is a (presumably) well EV trained Hydreigon that manages to use Outrage for three turns gets confused and then get to use it for two more turns despite being confused! Lucky for me I had my awesome Kyrem (forgot how to spell it) that KOed him with a single ice move (can't remember which one).
Who was Pokemon trolling that day? |
When you find a specific Pokemon that you have spent ages trying to find with a low encounter rate, only to find out you have no Pokéballs...
|
When you are using a 100% accuracy move and you were only hit with one sand attack, but your move misses 5 times in a row anyway. And when you are confused and paralyzed at the same time and one of them always affects you.
|
When I go into the GTS and search for "Palkia" and then 5 of the results are useless pokemon nicknamed "Palkia".
Also, when I go into the GTS and look for a pokemon I really want, then find a shiny version of it, but after I pick the pokemon that I am going to offer, it cancels the trade saying "We're sorry, But this pokemon has already been traded to someone else!" |

By the way, who in the world uses Hydreigon as physical sweeper? o.O |
Second round of Kanto Leanders Blane's Arcanine gets a Crit on turn 1.
I reset. First Round of Kanto LEaders Blane's Arcanine gets a Crit on turn 1, and turn 2. Da Truck, Da Truck is going on? |
One word. Emolga. Throughout my entire Black and Black2 run they have been the bane of my adventure. With their double team and parahax, volt switch shananigans, and interfering with my Audino hunting/training. I dont even run away when I encounter them anymore. I just launch my most powerful attack and feel satisfied as I end the battle.
|
When I was scrambling to finish the new unova pokedex.
Lapras has a 5% cance in rippling water. Find it. Lapras uses Parish Song. I have 3 turns to catch it or it dies and I have to start all over again. I use a Master Ball. 10 Minutes Later.... Politoad has a 5% cance in rippling water. Find it. Politoad uses Parish Song. I have 3 turns to catch it or it dies and I have to start all over again. I use a Master Ball. Master Balls are for chumps. |
When you have a box full of Nidorans and they are all not Male Modest 31 SAtk/Spe IV Hustle ones!!!!!!!!1111!!!!
|
Anything that makes me lose.
That's unusual. I'm too good for that to happen on purpose. Weird. |
Here's one: Playing my brother's Pearl game, walking with Mira in Wayward cave. Encounter a shiny bronzor and a normal bronzor. I Ko the normal one, and I'm about to catch the shiny one when Mira's Kadabra knocks out the shiny bronzor.
|
When the NPCs move around and mess you up when you're trying to hit your frame. HOLD STILL DAMMIT.
|
oh yes, Elesa and her volt switch strategy ! It was super annoying.
And then the HM move = FLASH! And i know this is part of Pokemon game play since Gen1, but I despise caves! All the Zubats,the boulders,the surfing, the FLASH! I feel so stuck |
That happen when I found a rare Pokemon and I have no PokeBalls. That force me to take 2-hour to find that Pokemon again in the wild.
|
You really don't care about catching pokémon and completing pokédex but you want that pokémon because it's cute. Turns out it has one of the lowest catch rates.
|
Not me but this happened to someone else. When you run into a shiny Minccino before the game even starts! Yeah, the pokemon in the introduction sequence also seems to have randomly generated stats and this is what happens when Arceus hates you.
|
If you tend to catch a Moltres with its HP almost down, 7 turns passed, and is Para haxed. I try to use 15 Timer Balls, some are 2 rolls, some just barely catch it, and not one is close to being captured. Use Ultra Balls, same result. I gave up on catching some legendaries. Or Confusion(mainly Swagger), which made me switch out immediately and rage.
|
When you accidentally trade for a hacked Nidoran.
Oops apparently whoever I got it from didn't know this. It's cool, though. Shiny Nidoran is still a shiny Nidoran. (; |

... You find a shiny Dragonair in the Leafgreen Safari zone.
Fled first turn. |
In Platinum when trying to catch Creselia, I would do the route swapping trick, but it would stay in the pokepark routes for minutes at a time, then when it did come by, it would magically teleport over by the pokemon league, loop around where I'm route hopping, and go right back to the pokepark.
|
Mainly when your Pokemon is paralysed, and EVERY turn for about ten turns, it can't move.
:( |
You know Pokemon is trolling you when you find a shiny Gravler... with Selfdestruct
|
You know when Pokémon is trolling when you find a wild shiny Jolteon... while inside the Battle Pyramid.
and similarly while battling at the Battle Tower, and battling a shiny Metagross. Also: losing to the 49th person's last Pokémon at the Battle Tower. and lastly, finding a shiny Combee... a male shiny Combee... |
When you're in a battle with Palmer's Rhyperior only to have it use Ice Beam on your Dragonite at the last moment; unfortunately that's how my friend ended up, haha.
|
I know when Pokemon is trolliing me whenever I lowered the status on a legendary Pokemon, put them to sleep and do False Swipe and I end up using all of my Pokeballs. And I'm just sitting there like what the heck? -_-"
:t354:TG |
you know it's trolling you when your light platinum rom somehow vanishes and forces you to start from the beginning...
|
Quote:
For me, I'd say accuracy is always trolling me. Stone Edge, Focus Blast and Aqua Tail all missing like 5 times in a row. Then Hypnosis hits on the first turn. |
probably a guy in chargestone cave who paralized me and confused me, if i couldnt move or when it didnt work id hurt myself in confusion, also since he then kept LOWERING MY DAMN SPEED i was raging
|
Quote:
|
When I see rustling grass the pokemon always seems to appear. If I dont apply a repel wild pokemon troll me
|
Watchogs. They seemingly always strike first, always use Hypnosis on the first turn, and are freaking everywhere.
|
Quote:
|
Quote:
Only in caves and on bridges do the special spots (dust clouds and shadows) have items associated to them. |
When Watchog gets me with Hypnosis, and I'm sleeping for the next 5 turns, but when I do the same thing it takes me several turns to even hit the opponent, and it wakes up the next turn.
|
@Pingouin: Maybe they mean they encounter a Pokemon before the rustling grass? That happens to me a lot. ;P
|
You know Pokemon is trolling you when your Pokémon dies from a crit in Nuzlocke...
|
Quote:
.... I'm stunned nobody made that pun yet >_> |
You know you're trolling pokemon when you teach your Shedinja Last Resort.
|
When you catch a Riolu, only to find a FEMALE Riolu after you've trained yours up a bit. >> Or when you look for an hour for a Pokemon, catch it, stay in the area to train, and then keep finding a ton of what you're looking for. Or when you're not looking for the rare Pokemon of the area and keep finding it anyway. So rude, game. Just...so rude.
|
You know Pokemon is trolling you when enemy's Persian gets Critical Hit seven times in a row. Heck, the whole Stadium game is a big troll. The opponent gets a Critical two out of three times. That's just mean when you're playing with rentals.
|
The shiny rate does down to a -102947% chance.
|
You know Pokemon is trolling you when you encounter a Shiny Entei @ level 40 and only have level 20 Pokemon.
|

|
Yeah PokeInfuse, if that happened to you, you've been blessed!
You know Pokemon is trolling you when Dawn has a female Chimchar at the beginning of the game and it becomes male when you tag up with her to battle Team Galactic in Jubilife City. |
When after a tough and very long battle against a legendary Pokémon, you finally get it to its last 1 or 2 HPs and make it fall asleep, then throw an Ultra Ball at it... and then it breaks free, wakes up and uses Struggle.
|
You know Pokemon is trolling you when the chances of getting a DW Dragonite in Black 2 & White 2 are less than 1% if you're using the Hidden Grottoes.
|
You know Pokemon is trolling you when your Pokemon dies of confusion in a Nuzlocke. (lets just say my plan to activate Blaze backfired).

a pokemon trolling moment is when you find a shiny geodude and you get it to red health. you throw the pokeball it breaks out of it and uses self destruct.
|
Quote:
|
I forgot to mention this one: when a critical hit KOs the Pokémon you're trying to catch. More frustrating if that Pokémon in question is very hard to find.
|
The most recent one: volt switch. After crit killing my sweeper for the rest of the gym. My most memorable: Pokemon Stadium. Some trainer spammed sand attack until my accuracy was so low, Surf wouldn't hit. Ever.
|
When a Pokemon I want to catch explodes on me or flees from battle.
Even worse if it's a shiny. |
When a certain Alomomola use Toxic to my Pokemon, and use Wish while Protect-ing itself, causing its 'wish' to be granted as HP recovery.
|
this website just trolled me went back for no reason after the longest reply ever! >(
my fiirst pokemon game i ever played was ss (it hated me) nidoran female was the only thing i encountered when i wanted male my party was always under leveled the ai's secondary effects always ocerd on me and mine never worked saw five shinies all had explosion metronome was allways splash whilst the ai got judgment and the one-hit-K.O attachs. The only good thing was my typhlosion was female also why did whitneys miltank use stomp on gastly and it hit? game ended up crashing in lavender town and never working again all it did was have a black screen (no seariosly Lavender town) mabye becuase i named my rival POOFACE? |
Ninjask used protect
Ninjask used substitute Ninjask used sword dance Ninjask used baton pass |
Just the fact that Crawdaunt can't learn Sucker Punch makes me think that Game Freak as a whole enjoys my misery. Adaptability only makes this pain worse.
|
Using all of your expensive Pokeballs on catching a certain Pokemon, but after using one basic Pokeball you catch it. lol :)
|
My troll moment was when I started a new game on fire red the other day. I picked a Bulbasaur (male) as my starter, and I couldn't beat my rival's Charmander no matter how I changed my strategy! I tried ten times. So I ended up restarting the game, selecting Bulbasaur again (although this time I lucked out with it being a female), and then beat my rival easily on the first attempt.
|
When you're trying to capture Lugia, hp down to a sliver, paralyzed. you start throwing all of the 30 ultra balls and then your 25 great balls, not one wants to work. Then you throw a regular old pokeball and it catches it -_-. All the wasted pokebucks
Then when you're battling trainer from waaaay back in the game with a golbat that confused my gyrados over. and over. and over. and over. Eevery single time it didn't hit the darn thing :( |
You know Pokemon is trolling when Cynthia keeps coming back.
|
You know Pokemon is trolling when the game is favoring status abnormalities over the player.
|
I was in a tournament and the only pokemon I had left was my shiny Gigalith in the championship match. I managed to beat 2 of his pokemon to bring out his last pokemon, a Gyarados. Stone edge missed 3 times in a row and I ended up losing the final battle. Even my opponent thought I should've won the battle!
|
I'm playing through FR right now, and I have never had such a difficult time catching a Chansey in any Kanto region file, ever. I think I've seen 30 by now, and haven't caught one. I've been in the Safari Zone for days now, I'm going out of my mind!
EDIT: Immediately after posting, encountered a Chansey who fled the second I threw bait. *shakes fist at sky* |
When your pokemon is way stronger than the enemy, but it dies cause it can't escape from sleep or confusion.
