    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.

    -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! Garchomp fainted!


    How friggin embarassing......:embarrass
     
    The Walrein thing happened to me, too! It got two Sheer Colds in a row. I hate the Battle Frontier SOOO much. lol
     
    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.
     
    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.
     
    there was this time i was playing in the game arcade against a bug catcher . he sent out his last pokemon shedinja and i sent out my froslass . i thought it was fine . shedinja was weak and that was all , both last pokemon and i thought i would win .
    the shedinja managed to put down my froslass into 1 HP . luckily it was down to 1 HP to .
    on the next round , it used quick claw and took out my frosslas with shadow sneak -_-

    Man, I can't blame you. I was also beaten by a Mamoswine, when it Ice Fanged and froze my Magnezone. >_>

    That happened to me one time as well. >_>
     
    the worst way to get knocked out of the battle tower challenge is if you knock yourself out
    that happened to me so many times its not even funny, even though i just let out a chuckle xDDD
     
    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 ???(one where you choose what type .Last battle against grass types with my lv.80 Flareon.

    Flareon used Heat Wave!
    (missed)
    Breloom (lv.????(below Flareon anyway)) used Focus Punch!
    1HKO!
    I was so angry!!
     
    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

    T_____T
