"ITT: Post your best, worst, strangest, or just downright weird Pokemon battles stories"

You know I'm genuinely surprised there aren't too many Pokemon battle stories here.Rules: they can be from any game and any spinoff games ((Tes this includes Pokemon Showdown)). No shiny hunting stories. They can be both from online and offline as long as they fit the criteria of this post.I got a one.The Ghetsis battle in Pokemon Black and White. So we all know about the hydreigon he uses by now. This thing was a fucking nightmare to the fact that it has damn Universal type coverage and it's only trumped by Ultra Necrozma in terms of difficulty. Well I think I have one of the funniest stories about how I was able to beat this thing. So replaying white I caught a vanillish, because why not? It actually serve me pretty well. So I get to the Ghetsis fight beat all the rest of his Pokemon then he sends out his hydreigon. Can't use Emboar because he has Surf so that was out of the question. Can't use Zekrom Ironically because it's going to get destroyed. The only other option I had was vanilluxe. So I send it out forgetting that the hydreigon knows Fire blast. I forgot about this up until I made the input for Ice Beam, and by the time I realized my mistake it was already too late. I pretty much accepted the feet at that point. Then the unthinkable happened. To this day I don't know if it had a good IV in special defense or just it some nature that gave points to special defense, but it survived with literally one or two HP left. Then vanilluxe one shotted the hydreigon with an ice beam. All I could do was look at my DS screen in shock and awe. From that day forward vanilluxe became my favorite ice type until Weavile happened it's still one of my favorite ice types though. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2oVmYep
