What are some of the worst, funniest, most humiliating, or generally 'wtf'-inducing ways you've been knocked out of a Battle (insert place here) Challenge?

For me, it was on the third set of the Battle Tower. I was literally one win away from Palmer, and I saw a happy little Spheal. Happy, and weak, and such right? Well. No. About ten seconds later, I threw the DS on the floor, because it got three Sheer Cold hits. Consecutively. Against Pokemon that were stronger, faster, and overall Better!...mostly because of the Trick Room used just before it came out.

lol @ " 'wtf'-inducing"! XD Probably the best way to word that ever!

I had a similar thing happen to me (though I survived) except it was Wailren. Luckily, I had my Garchomp throwing substitute up (I know, dragon vs ice). The Wailren hit me twice in a row with Sheer Cold. On my last substitute, it finally missed, and I finished it off with outrage.

But here is my story of failure. I posted this once in an entirely different forum.

*copypaste*

My team:


Gengar @ Focus Sash (Aku)

-Shadow Ball
-Destiny Bond
-Focus Blast

Garchomp @ Lum Berry (Weapon X)
Gender: Male
Nature: Jolly
IVs: 28/31/17/27/20/31
EVs: 252 ATK/ 252 SPD/ 6 HP
-Outrage

Scizor @ Life Orb (Bonesaw)
Gender: Male
Nature: Adamant
IVs: 17/31/19/26/28/28
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 ATK/ 6 DEF
-X-Scissor
-Bullet Punch
-Swords Dance
-Superpower

Battle Tower Singles. Battle 80:

Gengar vs (can't remember lol)
-*Some move*. Gengar held on with Focus Sash!
-Destiny Bond: Foe x fainted! Gengar fainted!

Scizor vs Probopass
-Scizor used Superpower! It's super effective! Foe's Probopass fainted! (the integral mistake in this battle)

Scizor vs Mamoswine
-Mamoswine used Earthquake! Scizor fainted! (I was so tired from being at this all day. I should've been using bullet punch instead of superpower)

Mamoswine vs Garchomp
-Garchomp used Substitute
-Mamoswine used Fissure *broken sub* (??????? No ice moves/luck?)
-Garchomp used Substitute
-Mamoswine used Hail!(I was sighing in relief at this point)
-Garchomp used Outrage! Garchomp's attack missed! (What the........!?!?!? SNOW CLOAK!!!!!)
-Mamoswine used earthquake! *broken sub #2*
-Garchomp used Substitute!
-Mamoswine used Earthquake! *broken sub #3*
-Garchomp used Outrage! *not enough to 1HKO*
-Mamoswine used Earthquake! Garchomp fainted!


How friggin embarassing......:embarrass

Battle Factory was annoying.I was on the Brain of that facility,and,guess what happened?:
Tom(Me) sent out Venusaur!
(Brain of Factory) sent out Latios!
Venusaur used Outrage!It's super effective!
Latios used Psychic!it's super effective!
Venusaur used Outrage!It's super effective!(Latios was on 5HP when....)
Latios used Draco Meteor!Critical hit!Venusaur fainted!
I got real angry.Took me a week to get to the Brain.

I once made the mistake of not taking a Pokemon with a fire type move to the battle Hall and I ended up getting pwned by a Shedinja

My Milotic got knocked out of its 76th (really) Battle Hall challenge because of a damn-foolish-stupid-silly Sub+Focus Punch Lucario... I got really angry, and then didn't play Platinum for nearly a week.

Battle Tower epic fail;
Lucario, Garchomp, and Infernape (I'm too lazy for strategy) all get wiped by a single Hitmonchan. Or, they all get wiped by a Machamp. I run into the same trainers often for some reason.

Battle Factory. It was an Ice-type versus typhlosion (I was using Typholosion)
X used blizzard. Typhlosion is frozen solid!
*three turns later* Typhlosion thawed out! Typhlosion used Fire Punch! Fire Punch missed!
X used blizzard! Typhlosion fainted! You lost! Get out of here!
*Pikachukid runs away miserably*

Battle Hall (one of the last battles before the gold symbol, against ghost type):

Dusclops - Quick Claw activates! Ice Punch!

(super effective against Yache Berry Garchomp)

hehe, I thought, now I've got you.

Garchomp - Outrage! Over Half Damage

Dusclops - Quick Claw activates AGAIN! ICE PUNCH!

Garchomp - DEAD
