Can Someone Do The Math?

If you're playing a Gen 3 game, Tackle generally has a 95% accuracy. If you've got a 1/20 chance of missing each time, and miss that 4 times, then that would be a 1/160000 chance. Pokemon can be weird in calculations (especially the first few gens) so missing Tackle a bunch of times in a row is probably a lot more common than the number suggests, but it's still some bad luck either way.
 
Were you hit by Sand Attack? That could be why it missed 4 times in a row.
