We all make mistakes :]
Post the silliest things you have done in a pokemon battle.

I'll start:
I tried to set up rocks on Mega Diancie.
One battle later, I tried to T-Wave another Mega Diancie..

I am posting both my mistake and my friend's mistakes from one of our battles.

- I tried to Earthquake Rotom-Wash
- He tried to Earthquake my Hoothoot 3 times! I am not kidding. :p

There is coming more later, because I am sure that he will make a lot of mistakes again. :p

- Forgot to choose a target for Protect in time so it my Swampert didn't mega evolve or use Protect. Losing a turn like that is not a good way to perform well at Regionals.

I don't tend to make silly mistakes, but I often see the following:

- Carelessly spamming Electric attacks when the opponent has vanilla Manectric waiting to switch-in (Lightning Rod)
- Throwing around Will-o-Wisp when the opponent has Mew (Sychronize)
- Switching Rotom-W into Mold Breaker Excadrill
- Careless spamming of U-turn when opponent has Rocky Helmet Garchomp / Ferrothorn

I have the common 1v1 Smeargle.
A couple times, I've forgotten to use Imprison before Transforming.

I've used Drain Punch on a Mega-Gengar once. I was using a Reinuclus so it killed me and I lost one Pokemon. Biggest Regional mistake ever!
