Eswandar Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 So I decided to play through Soul Silver again recently, and just for fun this playthrough I decided to count the ratio of how many times my Pokemon hurt themselves in confusion. At the end of the game, my Pokemon had hurt themselves a grand total of 28 times... Out of 28. 100 percent of the time. So I went and did some research on the internet, and the rate should be 50%. Hax. Also, in this playthrough of Black, I was doing the third gym, and my Darumaka missed fire punch 14 out of 15 times (he has hustle). I also remember a Rapidash Horn Drilling my entire team on the 99th floor of the battle tower in platinum. I was none too pleased. Anyone else have any hax stories? (Good or bad.)

General Spoon Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 This one time in Black I threw a pokeball at a wild Pokemon and held B+down. The ball rolled once and I caught the mon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47948201 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Not as extreme as yours, but once when I was trying to get a Lapras, I found 5 in a row in Diamond in that foggy area of Victory Road. And they all knew Perish Song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shin Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 The time I caught Zapdos with a pokeball (after a fair amount of weakening) on LG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Sheer Cold hit me twice in a row. I was not pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M. Gei Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) I honestly lost count of how many times I got haxxed out in the Battle Tower/Frontier/PBR. All the secondary effects landing on me, all of my Pokemons' attacks missing, and their Quick Claws activating and wrecking my sweepers. URGH.

Jaybee Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 This was on PO but idc. Mewtwo got crit, Groudon got crit, Arceus got crit, Palkia missed a Draco Meteor and then got crit. All were OHKO'd, crits have a 1/32 chance of occuring IIRC. That has a 1/1048576000% chance of occuring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venusaur Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 When I was catching Zekrom, it was about to die from burn, but I threw a Luxury Ball anyways, since that's what I wanted to catch it in. I caught it, but unfortunately it was Bold... And for the computer's hax, I encountered the infamous Quick Claw/Guillotine Crawdaunt in the Battle Tower. It got 3 straight OHKOs from that Quick Claw... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Klingy Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) I honestly lost count of how many times I got haxxed out in the Battle Tower/Frontier/PBR. All the secondary effects landing on me, all of my Pokemons' attacks missing, and their Quick Claws activating and wrecking my sweepers. URGH. Same here. It comes with the AI battle facilities. And caused my crippling phobia of Quick Claw, Brightpowder and Double Team And for the computer's hax, I encountered the infamous Quick Claw/Guillotine Crawdaunt in the Battle Tower. It got 3 straight OHKOs from that Quick Claw... AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!! Words cannot describe how much I hate this guy, or how many times he's ended my streak. I have literally thousands of tales of this. There was that one time in Battle Factory I had the AI activate Quick Claw 6 times in a row, OHKOs having like 90% accuracy there, missing Leaf Storm three times in a row, twice! (Once was on that very same Cradaunt, I believe) As for a specific example, well, here's one from the Battle Hall. I was breezing through my streak, up to the 10th opponent, a Honchkrow, and I had Thunderbolt. Me: Pah! Pathetic! I've got this in the bag, unless he happens to have Quick Claw, activate it and kill me... activates Quick Claw and kills me. Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!! [band head on wall repeatedly] And I always find that whenever I say 'I'm fine unless they get a critical', they WILL, guaranteed.

Strawman Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well when attempting to fight the most recent Elite 4 in the White/Black draft, My entire party fell to consecutive critical hits by one of the Ghost lady's pokemon. It was so sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viyut Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I think the shiny formula changed on pokemon white, I catched 2 Shinies already(And i got the game less than a week ago!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Jim Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 And for the computer's hax, I encountered the infamous Quick Claw/Guillotine Crawdaunt in the Battle Tower. It got 3 straight OHKOs from that Quick Claw... I've faced the same bastard in the Battle Frontier many times over, and I usually can't kill it before it kills all three of my guys. I've also ran into a lot of defensive 'mons with DT+Recovery while in the tower too. Hate those things. All I have to say is, unless you have a Swift-esque move, you WILL not hit a Tower thug's 'Mon if it uses DT, and even then, you still have their insta-recovery to worry about, as Swift-like moves are weak as piss. In other words, the AI in the tower is a cheating bastard. There's not enough words to explain my frustration when my 70-win streak is broken by that fucking Crawdaunt(or his equally despicable brother Pinsir.)

Use Lucario/Togekiss/any other poke with Aura sphere. Or machamp with No-Guard. Although there was a fucking lapras (streak 40 something) that had sheer cold. All three hits hit. 30% bah more like 200000% percent accuracy <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Zomg Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 My 120-power special moves miss half of the time. They don't hit 70-80% of the time, as advertised > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Klingy Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Critical capture On that subject: Critical Capture only activates for me at times when I don't need it. Most recent example: against a Litwick in Celestial Tower (Lv around 25), with about 40% HP remaining, paralyzed, AND I used a Repeat Ball. Yeah, thanks a lot, that would have been a sure catch anyway. It's just like in FE, where the only times I get 1 or 2% crits is when I would've killed anyway.

viyut Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 On that subject: Critical Capture only activates for me at times when I don't need it. It happens when i don't want it, i failed to catch a pokemon with a critical quick ball(4X)only to catch it on the second one(1X). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
