We all have that one memory: the near-catch that failed, the critical hit that wasn’t yours, or the 1% encounter that took hours. Share here!

    Don't know if it quite count but Tapu Bulu in Sun and US. It took forever and I had to keep restarting the battle. And after battling for way too much time it would go into a basic pokeball. In both games.
