Most frustrating moment?
Mine was today trying to catch Tapu Koko,
I was trying to catch it with a beast ball and with the held item trick I got around 100 beast balls. Now after hours of restarting the fight against Tapu Koko because it kept running out of moves and struggled itself to death. I caught one and it had 0 pp in every move and it was the last turn of sleep. And then to find out it is Adament and not timid(my synchronizer is timid). I was filled with rage. Reset again and took another hour before I caught one again, to find out it was not timid again. Reset again and it took me several hours to catch the next one and that one still didn't have the timid nature. I got one at the end of the day, but this took me the whole day to do and I didn't expect it to be this long. Now I need to catch the other legendaries in Beast balls and not really looking forward to it. So what was your most frustrating moment? |
Not being able to beat Hau without wasting about 20 or so max potions. None of my Pokemon could take more than one hit and I wasn't going to lose anyone in my Nuzlocke. All I lost in the end was thousands of dollars.
|
Oh boy. The champion defense battle was the most frustrating moment for me. I lost once just because I didn't use a revive like an idiot and then I had to restart the entire Pokemon League. Glad that's over with, though.

Chain hunting for a specific ability and then forget to switch the pokemon you want to keep alive and then it struggles itself to death >.<

Trying to take down Kahilis Toucannon was a total pain.
It didn't help that half of my team was weak to flying. Quote:

Healing up my team with several items only to take a few steps forward to be healed by a random NPC.
|
Catching a freakin female shiny salandit... It took of a week and three days to finally catch one (Note I manage to catch 5 shiny males before I caught a shiny female)

Trying out Battle Royal Dome three or four times and having my first Pokemon KO'd in one hit each time before I could do anything and getting a whole 1 BP for my time wasted. Worst feature, imo. All the battle facilities have always been the worst part of these games and this is the worst iteration of them.

Mine was trying to find Castform, and I taught my Staryu raindance, (I hate how it only gets 5 PP), and even though my first Pokemon was holding a damp rock, it didn't prolong the weather conditions. In the end I just used GTS for Castform. Another moment was trying to beat Blue when I got to the Battle Tree, and I had to soft reset about 6 times before I beat him.

Any moment where I'm either leveling up a partner (like Scyther from lv1) or trying to catch a pokemon, the wild savages end up summoning back-up after back-up, making my defeat inevitable or my capture impossible. When it comes to co-op strategy, it seems 'savage' might be the right word for it, especially when you've got costant Mud Slaps + Sand-Attacks flying your way. Not to mention spamming their most powerful moves, at times.
I need to mention Mimikyu, the only Totem that caused me to sweat and throb my forehead veins in unison. Turns out I would end up using a Z-Move on my first turn, and it would have a shield item. I'm sure Totem Mimikyu has a lot of scorn individuals that will never forget it anytime soon. Finally, the Elite Four was challenging, but got them all in my second attempt. (First attempt in X, second attempt in Alpha Sapphire.) Once you level a bit and strategize, you can beat any trainer and obstacle. |

You give the beast balls that are in your inventory to your pokémon until you have 0 left. After that you go to looker and ask about beast balls. He will notice you don't have any beast balls and give you one. Then you just repeat it. What I did was go to my pc first and gave all my beast ball to the pokémon in the pc. Then I go to looker with 6 pokémon with no held item and talk to him to give me 1 beast ball and give that beast ball to one of my pokémon and repeat that 6 times and go back to the pc and switch them with new pokémon with no held item. I had about 150 pokémons in my box and I gave each one of them a beast ball. So you can get as many beastballs as you have pokémon. This takes a lot of time and taking the balls out of the pc too. |

Apparently you can get them even after Necrozma, so says this thread. |

I tried catching Tapu Koko today with my Timid Synchronizer. Managed to catch it first time, in my only Fast Ball.
Go to Hidden Power checker, and it's Hidden Power Ice! 'Oh boy, let's check IV's now!' Sees Nature is Adamant. And no, subsequent captures with the Fast Ball have thus far, failed. |
Catching Xurkitree not long ago 3 IV...but adamant nature
Getting far in he battle tree super single ( around 17 or 19 battle if i remember) sweep 2 out of 3 pokemon from the trainer..just to get wreck by a stupid Vespiqueen with Toxic, protec, heal order and defense order. |
Beedrill is my favourite Mega, and I'm still so upset that Beedrillite is not obtainable in this game. So imagine how it felt getting swept by a Mega Beedrill in the Battle Tree. Fun times.
Also in the battle tree my Mudsdale got burned two battles in a row by Flare Blitz (10% chance???) the first time almost cost me the game, but the second time did cost me. Oh and for some reason I lost the Super Rank Battle Royals like 15 times before I beat it but I beat Hyper Rank first try, and Master Rank after like 3 games. It was extremely frustrating though, it's just a game of luck, and I love when everybody teams up on me. |

Speaking of the Battle Tree, I just got swept by a Quick Claw Wailord, so that's nice.

I have a new frustration and that is training in Poni Plains.
The wild Pokemon there are absolutely evil and show no mercy - you have Gumshoos running Thrash, Hyper Fang, Rest and Super Fang. Raticate with Sucker Punch, Endeavor, Super Fang (I hate that move now) and Double-Edge. Hypno running two STAB Psychic moves, along with Nasty Plot and Swagger to annoy you. But the worst of all is those goddamn scary Tauros, packing Zen Headbutt, Swagger (remember I hate getting confused) and the two most dangerous Normal STAB moves in the world - Take Down and Thrash. In fact, the only easy opponents I find there are Trumbeak, Petilil and Miltank. It's the Tauros that seem to always murder my entire team during these training sessions, and has caused me to extremely hate Thrash with a burning passion. The move reminds me so much of someone who's extremely angry and going on a rampage, which is exactly what the image of Tauros is meant to be. Face it, training there is going to be a hard time since there's nowhere else good to train. |
Battle tree..
I cant even get passed the 7th battle !! |
Generally Wonder Trade. Hasn't changed since 6th.
I usually just release the garbage I receive. Better filter the system despite more and more people putting in random trash. EDIT: I actually just stumbled across another frustrating moment. Today I realized that the Zygarde I built with Power Construct is permanent. Thankfully I gave it a Jolly nature as I wanted to test Synchronize but nevertheless, losing Aura Break is awful. Rendered that Zygarde unable to be used in standard OU games. |
