That's not much of a surprise, Deoxys Attack has very low defense stats plus is always has low HP.So, I was playing Pokemon black the other day when my (Transferred) Lvl 70 Deoxys-A (Nicknamed Deribo) was fainted by a lvl 35 scraggy...
Deribo used Physic! It didn't affect foe scraggy.
Foe Scraggy used payback!
It's super effective!
Deribo Fainted!
I than preceded to blaze kick the little guy's face in with my blazekien.
Its defenses equal Carvanah and it barely has a higher HP stat (by 5 points).That's not much of a surprise, Deoxys Attack has very low defense stats plus is always has low HP.
And Scraggy's base Attack is 75 & Payback was super effective, at 100 Power (since Deoxys still went first despite its attack being negated), and receiving STAB.Its defenses equal Carvanah and it barely has a higher HP stat (by 5 points).
Well his team type-wise is pretty well balanced, and he does carry a Lapras in HG/SS to take advantage of the hail, but the main challenge is his team's absurdly high level in a game that doesn't offer great places to grind. (and of course not expecting him. Few battles in Pokemon are necessarily hard if you know they're coming and prepare accordingly) They might have unintentionally made him a bit easier by giving his starters the elemental beams, though.When I first saw Red, I thought he was some random fisherman-like guy at the edge of a mountain who had something to say...
I noticed the battle animations pop up and heard Lance's theme without realizing it was his and I was like "ooo a battle! This is going to be easy!"
I freaked out when I saw his level 88 Pikachu. I lost many times to Red as the only Pokemon I was actually using was a level 100 Lucario. I eventually won though. There was a time years later where I beat him with a legitimate team of level 61 Pokemon so truth be told, he's not too hard.
When I say Red's battle is overrated, it's because many people might not even know who on Earth Red is when they first face him... (but it's also because he doesn't use Pokemon like Mewtwo when he's considered a trainer who caught just about every Pokemon in Gen 1).
I've been there, I use the master ball to a jigglypuff because it was hard to catch. Anyway, GameFreak should make a proper tutorial on important stuff like the saving thing because younger kids who started playing video games know nothing about it. Heck they might find a shiny starter and they didn't know how to save!Playing through Pokémon Blue for the first time when I was 7. I got my master ball and thought "hmmm, I wonder if I could take other trainers Pokémon", so I threw it at a trainers Farfetch'd.
Now, there are 3 horrible things I messed up here:
1) I should have known better and the game probably tells you at some point you can't.
2) I had been playing for over an hour without saving when I did it and I wasn't going to reset and lose all of my progress.
3) I threw it at a fucking Farfetch'd.
They do tutorials nowadays and it's irritating as fuck that you have no choice but to sit through themI've been there, I use the master ball to a jigglypuff because it was hard to catch.

Not my story, but a related Master Ball tale of woe. My sister's friend many years ago (like 2001 or 2002) told me once that she threw her Master Ball to catch a Muk (I think maybe in Pokemon Yellow, but i don't remember anymore). It's been so long that I don't remember her reasoning, but I think it was just because she liked Muk and didn't realize it was the only Master Ball. She also gave me my first bunch of pokemon cards and some N64 games - she was pretty cool, but I have no idea what happened to her.Playing through Pokémon Blue for the first time when I was 7.

As seen by how life can screw people over, hopefully nothing bad happened to her.Not my story, but a related Master Ball tale of woe.

I still have a physical moveset modest 31 IV shiny Exeggutor in SS when I was younger, you're not the only oneFrom when I had FireRed as a kid:
I threw a Master Ball at Zapdos... way before I discovered the legendary dogs were in the game...
...and the Roar glitch being a thing...
...and I didn't know about roaming Pokemon...
...
Look. I was a dumb kid, okay?
Funny thing is, actually doesn't, at least not explicitly. The game just sort of expects everybody to be serious about their principles lol. You're not told you can't catch other trainers' pokemon ( AKA steal ) until you try to which is kind of controversial in its own way.1) I should have known better and the game probably tells you at some point you can't.
