The "Wild Pokémon are really dumb" moment

[shroud]

in the old RBY games when i just started i remember having caught a geodude and practiced battling against pikachus in the viridian forest. the only attack they knew was T-Shock. :P

I think wild Pokemon are stupid, when you have a level 50+ Pokemon in your party, and you come accross a level 8/9 Pokemon, but they wont let you run. I don't find anything more infuriating than "Can't escape"

 

[The Girl Once named Tracie]

When Moltres used agility for the 5,000,000th time when its speed was already maxed out

 

[Destiny Bond]

When a wild hunter kept useing nightmare like three times, when my pokemon was not asleep

 

[Niprop]

...No such luck for me. The pokés I usually face seem to know type effectiveness, and some even know how to actually power up their moves one turn and attack with the corresponding special/physical attack on the next. Maybe I'm just (un)lucky.

when I was against a pelipper and it used swallow constantly without using stockpile =/

Starly from Gen IV. I've said it once, and I'll say it again:

STUPID AND MOST ANNOYING POKEMON EVER!!

Turtwig used Absorb. 2 Damage!

Starly used Growl!

Turtwig used Absorb. 1 Damage!

Starly used Growl!

Turtwig tries to run away! Can't Escape!

Starly used Growl!

43 hours later...

Starly used Growl!

Turtwig kills itself out of boredom!

 

[PuyoPuyo Raffine]

that DOES get annoying....maybe it was smart enough to know how to piss you off to that extent

Wading through a cave full of one-turn, self-destructing Gravelers is not fun.

Yeah, that's never fun. Happens to me all the time! =\ It gets annoying after a while.

I remember one from Brown (and if you don't know what that one is I may have to shoot you :P) aaages back. Was against the electric gym leader - something like a Lv. 66 Riachu, wiped out all my party and the only one left was a Lv. 24 Cubone. But Raichu only knew electric attacks and Cubone isn't affected at all!

Took about 10 mins but I eventually won. :)

And of course, in the wild on any game, you cannot beat this one.

"Magikarp used Splash!"

 

[RivalGator]

I actually have a pretty funny story about that actually. I was training my Banette in Victory Road in Johto, and these damn Graveller kept self destructing and it doesn't effect little Banette! So I basically got free and easy exp. points. It was awesome and easy.

 

[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]

Pidgey used Fly!
Graveller used Rock Polish
Graveller used Selfdestruct!!!

Lol, but even worse is when Elite Four or Gym Leaders use Perish Song on their last pokemon, when you have two of yours left.

 

[otakulily]

Try fighting a Wooper ten levels lower than you with a Pikachu who only know surf and thunderbolt. :/

 

[Master Kim]

Wading through a cave full of one-turn, self-destructing Gravelers is not fun.

I, unfortunately, know this to be all too true.

 

[Timepiece]

Anytime I enter an area with pokemon which know self-destruct or explode, I lead with a ghost. Generally, this nets me half the encounters worth of literally taking a nap and waiting for them to commit suicide.

 

[Sapphyres]

Mine's with Lugia also - I managed to get it under five hp, paralyze it, and reduce its accuracy with flash six times. My single, lower-leveled pokemon was barely touched. Whenever it managed to hit me, it used rain dance xD

lol, same!

I flashed lugia so much it kept missing, and paralyzed it too xD

I caught it while using my lvl 5 hoothoot I use for flying. I think Lugia cried in shame...

 

[MudkipManiac]

entei asleep n in red hp

zach threw a ultra ball
almost had it

entei woke up, entei fled >:O

 

[MASTERBOSSgodora]

a wild graveler that used self-destruct when my pidgeot was in the air with fly.

 

[joeyoung1994]

I was in the Elite 4, and Bertha used a Full Restore on her Gliscor, which could only use Struggle.

 

[gizmogames]

i was training my gengar and a wild graveler apeared
it used selfdestruct as i sad *sigh* darn.
BUT selfdestruct is a normal type move
Gengar was not hurt and Geodude comitted suicide
