I threw a Master ball on a Munchlax in one of the MANY SM/USUM playthroughs I did as a kid (it wasted all my ultra balls and I took ages trying to find it), and then, because I didn't know the difference between affection and friendship, I kept feeding it rainbow beans and levelling it up so it can become a Snorlax, but it didn't (since even though I raised its affection I didn't raise the friendship level) so I got frustrated and put it in the box forever.
I remember that maybe a few days or weeks later I got a Riolu and finally learnt that friendship and affection are separate mechanics (I'm pretty sure I didn't learn that through the Internet, but by talking to the friendship checking lady in Konikoni), so I kept feeding it malasadas (since I was a kid back then, I did not know how natures and favourite flavours are connected, so I figured out its favourites by going to EVERY malasada shop and trying every single flavour) and going to the massage lady everyday, and it eventually became a Lucario.
But as I said, I boxed the Muchlax forever. I told myself I wouldn't put it on my team ever again and I did not lie. Even though I learnt what I did wrong, I didn't want to fix my mistakes.
But anyways, being a kid and figuring out how everything worked on my own instead of browsing the Internet for way too long or watching rabbit hole videos was fun, even if it did result in me throwing a Master ball at a Muchlax.

Recklessly challenging a gym leader immediately.

I once burnt my toast over Pokémon.
It started on a misty afternoon. I had my florescent light on in a small pocket of my house, I like my house dark. I stuck a piece of bread in to warm up and thought I have enough time for a single encounter. It was in Ultra Moon. The new save file I started was about 15 hours in. After having the game on already I started my encounter. Munchlax. Oh no, Lefties. False swipe, missed catch. Missed catch. The pokemon hated me just from looking at me. Timer ball. No shot. I thought to myself I need to flip this toast. I went into the air fryer and turned the bread over. Time to catch this Munchlax. I throw my only largest ball. It goes in. Score! I run from my bed to stop the cooking. Slightly burnt. A little melted butter. It was a complete failure.

To be honest, I think it may be much more recent than when I just started, happening last year or something. I was in the Max Lair, trying to catch the rest of the Pokémon there. I got to Mesprit. I forgot what the Pokémon I used was, but I ended up using a Ground-type move, only to find that it has Levitate. This was online, too.
Now, you might be thinking, that's excusable. Not every levitating Pokémon has Levitate (*cough* Magnemite line *cough*), but what really makes this the dumbest thing I've done is that the same thing happened when I was fighting Uxie. I used a Ground-type move, only to find that it also has Levitate. This was also online. I learned the hard way that all three Lake Guardians have Levitate as their only possible Ability.1
