    As competitive battler's may know it as, Hax. Have you encountered any really haxy moments? Like being paralyzed and then getting flinched to death? Or someone repeatedly using double team and your not able to hit them? Your Take down with it's 90 Accuracy keep's missing, and your opponents Sheer Cold with 30 accuracy keep striking?

    War stories plz.
     
    In the same battle, my Focus Blast missed 5 times in a row, while the opponent couldn't move due to paralysis for 6. I've also used Fire Blast and missed all 5 times and run out of PP. x_x
     
    Most of my hax moments go like this:

    I try to use any move, any move at all, and it misses 5+ times in a row, note that my accuracy was never lowered.

    The opponent, who for some reason is usually a gym leader, scores 2-3 critical hits in a row while using moves that have a regular critical hit ratio. This usually occurs after a string of misses from me, and the Pokemon getting the criticals is usually at half health or less.

    But one of my favorite occasions was back in Emerald. It was my Crobat versus another's Golbat. The enemy used Supersonic, it hit, and I hit myself all five times in a row. Then I used Confuse Ray, it misses. So I use it again, it hits, Golbat never hits itself and recovers in two turns.
     
    I haven't really had many problems with this. Apparently the RNG likes me!:D

    Well, except for that one time in the Pearl Battle Tower a Pinsir's Gulliotine hitting all 5 times:\
     
    Actually this happened the other day when I was in the Battle Subway. I had my Galvantula, which had just been paralyzed be too paralyzed to move three times in a row, then I was subsceptible to a Swagger, which the confusion hit me once, and then paralysis three times in a row again. It was annoying, but I maganed to get through it.

    Also, one time in the Battle Tower, a Poliwrath hit me like, 4 times in a row with DynamicPunch and it was annoying.
     
    Yeah today my Starmies Hydro Pump kept missing, but somehow his Stone Edge had the accuracy of a god.
     
    I've actually had it where someone was Thunderpunching my Rotom-C (the Electric/Grass one, 4x resist to Electric) with Jirachi, paralyzed me (which I guess isn't so bad because it's um Jirachi), then proceeded to flinch/parahax my Leftovers, max HP Rotom-C that resists Iron Head down to it's doom. :C
     
    In the Battle Subway, Scolipede's Megahorn missed 4 times. In a row.
     
    I was versing this guy and his Groudon used Fissure on my like three times straight....
     
    In the Battle Frontier, I can't keep track of how many times I've been beaten by the likes of Quick Claw and Brightpowder.

    Critical hits cause me rage in and out of the Battle Frontier. Outside of it, it's usually my Pokemon that scores the critical hit... killing a Pokemon that I had wanted to capture.

    And don't mention Hypnosis, Sing, and Grasswhistle... you know, those 55-60 accurate Sleep moves which magically have 95 accuracy when used against my Pokemon:/
     
    There's a saying I always say after someone complains about hax or says "sorry"after they critical hit me on PO, "What is Pokemon without hax?" which honestly makes sense. Pokemon implimented Critical Hits, Freeze Chances and Accuaracy, so we should just learn to live with it. I don't really mind the hax, really. Though the most "haxiest" battle I had was when Jirachi flinched everyone of my Pokemon, and got a 6-0, though I don't complain because I use a Jirachi myself (as a TrickScarf though) and Serene Grace + Iron head is a 60% chance, an that is alot.
     
    Something I was facing - I forget what - managed to use Fire Blast on me (and hit) three times in a row, through paralysis, confusion AND two levels of Double Team. I call BS on that mofo.
     
    All my moves seem to miss even when i have high accuracy and use high accuracy moves but i use double team and sand attack as well as others and I always seem to get hit by OHKO moves and it bothers me so much.
