Pretty sure the ai in the battle tower actually cheats sometimes. That or you have Werster tier bad luck.

Just bring a Froslass with thunderbolt for when the battle tower cheats like this. Immune to everything but fissure. Of course you'll see a bunch of focus sashed ground pokemon with fissure then.

The Battle Tower is infamous for this. Since GF can't program an AI that will give advanced players a challenge, they program the BT to cheat. So you end up with 100 % OHKO moves, 100 % paralyze/Confusion/Infatuation chance, sleep counters that always go to the max, 100 % crit chances and your Pokémon may completely miss every attack that isn't 100 % accurate.

Has anyone ever looked for it? Either way it's suspicious how the CPU's movesets are designed in a way to exploit RNG and how the CPU always pulls off the RNG in later matches.

Hitting a 33 % move three times in a row is improbable but possible. Doing so consistently is impossible.

Most Battle Facilities are like this. Played PWT and fought Merlon, and his Carracosta hit high roll Hydro Pumps three times in a row. It was paralyzed too.

The AI compensates for its inability of formulating its own tactics and teams by simply picking Pokémon that are resistant to your typing and have supereffective non-STAB moves up their sleeves to trick you.

That doesn't really work, does it? Was gonna say BT is RNG cheating again, but it looks like OP just got fucked.

Yeah, it’s bullshit. The NPC I faced against in the battle tower had a Lapras that just wouldn’t stop spamming Protect without fail. Had my Meowstic not held a Black Sludge and used Trick, I wouldn’t have been able to counter-stall and slowly drain the Lapras’ HP with poison.
Of course, once that Lapras went down, he sent in a Froslass, which conveniently knew and used Thunderbolt the moment I sent my Inteleon in.

Pretty sure accuracy and evasion modifiers don’t work on OHKO moves. Does GameFreak not understand their own game? lol

No, it’s just pure statistics at work, something brainlets who think Tower cheats can’t seem to understand. If you play 100 or even 200 battles in a row, shit like this is bound to happen at least once. 30% isn’t even particularly low, it’s the same rate as Scald burns.

Can you into statistics, anon? It's 0.3^3, so you would expect a OHKO user to hit all three only once every 37 times, on average, that it has the opportunity to do so. It's been proven (source: my ass) that the older battle towers cheat, and I've never seen proof that the newer ones don't, either.

That was in Gen I. Now OHKO moves are affected by accuracy and evasiveness, which is why No Guard and Lock On guarantee OHKO moves to hit.

Zoom lens only ads 3 % to those moves though, so it makes no sense to pair them.

Yeah, the math checks out, even tho OP was only at 41. Highly unlikely, but not astronomical.

It's not the number of matches that matters, it's the number of times the opponent got to use three consecutive OHKO moves. My guess is 1 (one).
