What is the craziest thing that has ever happened in a Pokemon game? Now is your chance to rage about flipping 17 tails on sleep or your opponent hitting a Lysandre off a N to 1 for the game.
 
I don't think I can remember the last time I woke up from a sleep flip...

Anyway, might not be the craziest one, but a game that comes to mind is my Seismitoad/Garbodor vs a Lucario deck. I had a dead hand and was getting neither energies nor supporters. My opponent knocks out everything I have, spare one Trubbish. That's when I top deck the DCE, attach it to Trubbish along with a Muscle Band and Pound the Lucario-EX (Who had been poisoned since last turn) for a knockout, giving me the time to turn the game around and eventually win.
 
I was playing my Bronzong toolbox deck against Virizion Genesect a couple weeks ago. He used SER to get 4 energies and attacked, then I instantly powered up a DelphoxEX which hit for 600 damage on a VirizionEX.

A while before that, I had a game (It was just practice) where I accidentally set down 7 prizes and drew a hand of 6, but I still won xD
 
On PTCGO, when Eels were big, I managed to KO two Landorus EX back to back by flipping four heads on Zapdos's Thundering Hurricane.

A year ago, when I got into playtcg, I managed to swing the game in my favor with Sableye's confuse ray. This was a desperate last ditch effort after failing to put his or her Lugia to sleep with my lasers, but I flipped heads, my opponent took the risk and failed. And the damage from confusion plus poison between several turns was enough to put it in range of an easy KO.

Then there was the Mega Kangaskhan Mirror Match. We were both playing Aromatisse/Kanga, but had slightly different strategies. Mainly, my opponent used Aspertia Gym to boost the HP while I used fairy garden. This came into play when I found myself 20 short of a KO, but topdecked Dowsing Machine to get back my fairy garden and put the Kangaroo back in KO range for the win.

The only other one that comes to mind is the one where I used energy switch to move the last energy I had in play to my Tropius to return for the win after red signaling something out. Though I also recall a couple of games I stole by scoring a 4 prize turn with Landorus or Darkrai.
 
I was playing my gourgeist dusknoir deck on ptcgo. I had a lot of dammage on my oppenents board an down a few prizes without taking any prizes yet. I managed to get a six prize turn by moiving some damage around and then attacking. That was probably my craziest game.

In another game I was playing my Yveltal EX/ garbador deck against a Vir/ Gen varrient I cant remeber what the non Ex in the deck was, we had both taken 5 prizes and my oppenent needed one more energy to G booster my undamaged Yveltal EX that would KO his genesect EX on my turn to win the game. He ultra balled to see how much energy was left in the deck and to his surprise found only one in the deck. So he N's us both down to 1 card and sure as shit he gets the lone energy in the deck for the game winning G booster.
 
While not game specific, I always hesitate when I play a search Item when I have no Supporter in hand. I get paranoid that I'll find out that my top deck is a Supporter I need, and that I'm forced to shuffle it into the rest of my deck because I looked through my deck.

As for the worst moment I ever had happen to me PERIOD, that would probably be a game when I was testing out a Shiftry deck. I ran 2 Flareon and Jolteon alongside it for Type coverage, and I felt pretty confident about it. I brought the deck to a TCG event at my library, and then realized that I forgot to put any Eevees in the deck. I ended up losing the first game I played there, but I quickly was able to get the Eevees back into my deck between matches.
 
People always hit Lysandre off N to one...

Anyway top 8 worlds 2014, game 3. I'm playing Big Basics with Toxicroak against Pyroar.
I start Landorus against i think a charizard or something. I go first and bench toxicroak and N away a dce because i want a fighting. I get another DCE but no fighting so i attach the DCE to my benched croak because I know the odds of him getting a T1 X Ball with everything he needs are slim. Sure enough, my opponent hits the nuts with Mewtwo, DCE, Muscle Band, Switch, and Catcher heads on my Toxicroak for the T1 X Ball KO, and leaving me with only one Toxicroak and lasers to deal with his entire deck of Pyroars. I manage to get the Ultra for Mewtwo, Switch, DCE, and Muscle for the KO on the following turn! This leaves me a few turns to accumulate Hammerhead damage on his board while he sets up.

Somehow I stay in this game, and it comes down to the wire. Eventually he has few cards in his deck and has exhausted all his tricks like N and Catcher. I Max Potion away three or four consecutive attacks from Pyroar to deck him out. I would've won anyway because I had two lasers left and he had nothing left. It was pretty epic.

Some others.

-At a Battle Road or LC in a Terrakion Eels mirror match my opponent uses Juniper T1 to get rid of 3 Switches. lol. I win and sneak in at 4th place, pulling a then $100 value SR Rayquaza in my two packs.

-Gotten a T1 X Ball KO against a Mewtwo with DCE a few times like States and Cities.

-Worlds 2013 against aged up defending Jr World Champ. Plasma vs Blastoise.
He Catchers and KOs 2 Squirtles starting T1 because I can never get more than 1 at a time. He then starts rolling me with Kyurem. iirc, I eventually get two Squirts down, one gets KOd, and I proceed to N him to one and load Keldeo. I somehow come back from a 6-1 prize deficit.

-Hitting 10 autowins (not exaggerating) in a row at Nationals this past year was pretty sweet.

- First time I beat Alex Croxton in a tournament. Cities Faries mirror match.
I start Aegislash EX and dead draw for the longest time. Thanks to Mighty Shield he can only X Ball me for pitiful amounts of damage. I get an N after like 5 or more turns and eventually set up behind Aegislash. I then get two consecutive Lysandres on his only two Aromatisses and take control from there. It was really intense, I had to max revive a Yveltal EX to bait a Lysandre MegaMan kill which I think won me the game.

-States top 8 CMT vs my Zek/Mewtwo/Eels
I N him to one and he topdecks his only Victory Medal. Double heads for his only Catcher game.

back with more later haha
 
I was playtesting once. Flashfire just came out, so I was testing out a Toxicroak/Landorus/Garbodor/Trick Shovel deck. My opponent was playing a Sableye/Garbodor deck with lots of stalling cards. I stupidly benched Trubbish and evolved it to Garbodor. He starts Catchering it repeatedly. I managed to get 5 prizes with my Toxicroak and Landorus, but eventually he Catchers Garbodor and I have no way to move it out of the Active. Then he starts Junk Hunting for Super Rod and Ultra Ball, so he doesn't deck out and I do. Then I realize he has 2 cards left in his deck, and I have 2 Trick Shovels in my hand... I play both Trick Shovels, discard the top 2 cards of his deck, and he decks out.

Other than that, I can't think of any very exciting games at the moment. I'm sure there's more, but they're just not coming to me right now.
 
At the Primal Clash Prerelease I recently attended, I ended up using a Spinda to Uproar KO 4 Pokemon at the same time. Too bad that was after I lost to the same person due to a wash-a-way Staryu and a Barboach...
 
Played RayBoar for Delaware states last year...I was 2-1-1 in a definitive round for top cut. My opponent i knew was playing my autowin VirGen, but with lasers.
I open and my hand is literally 3 SER, 2 candies, 1 profs letter, and an exeggcute. He mulligans once, and I'm going first.
I place down exeggcute and draw my card for the mulligan, great, a switch. Then i draw my card for the turn, A FENNEKIN! He showed me that he had the Virbank Laser KO combo in his hand...but i top decked an ultra ball for a jirachi and then rolled him from there to win going 3-1-1.
 
In Team Play Plasma Storm prerelease, I'm able to put together quad Heatmor with 2 Heatmor, 3 Either, and the rest Energy while giving all my supporters and Crobat stuff to my teammate who builds a deck with a 3-3-3 Crobat line and a whopping 4 Supporters / draw cards. We go undefeated.

I was playing speed Lugia in BLW-PLS against Plasma Klinklang. I need Catchers to keep my opponent from setting up (cause I yolo'd and didn't play anything to get around Plasma Steel), but when I go to look through my deck, I had prized all 4 Catchers.

I was in top two at Cities a while back against what was basically an auto loss. I was playing Quad Garchomp against Darkrai, and I had managed to take an easy game one due to my opponent just not hitting things. I lose game 2, and then we go into sudden death, so we set up with one prize each. My hand is pretty horrible, so I figure the only way to have a chance of winning is to N us both down to one. I do that and top deck a Juniper while my opponent hits nothing. Like the only time I can remember having stupid luck in tournaments.

Then there's my uncanny ability to play 18 Supporters and still consistently dead draw out of the opening.
 
Add this to the list. I just lost to a REALLY BAD Pyroar because my Mega stayed asleep for THREE WHOLE TURNS!

There was a lot of other dumb stuff too that kept me from coming back like not being able to hit everything I need off of a Juniper because of decking.
 
I've got one. Round 2 of Nationals last year--I'm playing Plasma, and she's playing Pyroar. Autoloss, right? Well, she benches a whole lot of non-pyroar stuff early so I play it out because I have a shot if I can kill stuff with Lugia. I do mostly everything right--get Lugia out, power it up ASAP, and plan out how I'm going to take my six prizes for the game. There's only one problem--she plays 4 roller skates and 4 catchers. I kid you not--she hits heads on ALL EIGHT CARDS, enabling her to draw an absurd amount of cards over the course of the game and catcher out just about everything I could use to take prizes. I barely manage to get one attack off with lugia to KO her Mewtwo for three prizes before it goes down die to earlier catchers. The best part is that I STILL almost managed to win--I in fact had the win in hand to KO a Reshiram for the game the next turn--but she hits heads on her last catcher so I lose.

But of course, there's always game 2, right? Shockingly, she still fills her bench even after realizing my strategy of the previous game--so once again, I have a shot to win. I go to set up an early Lugia, plan out the game, and hope for the best. This obviously doesn't end up mattering--because she gets SEVEN MORE HEADS. There's an almost comical moment where she plays three roller skates and a catcher in one turn and hits heads on every single one. My Lugia once again only gets a single attack off--and given that I prized several of my attackers, I'm about ready to scoop and move on. As a last ditch effort, I grab Snorlax, realizing that I'm never going to have enough time to set it up before she wins. But then I realize--SHE DOESN'T RUN SWITCH. I only have two prizes left at this point--so all I need to do is hit a Lysandre, move up Snorlax, Laser an EX, and let it slowly die. I have the Lysandre in hand, so I essentially have the win the next turn...

...but she hits heads on her last catcher AGAIN, ending the game before I get the chance. 15 out of 16 heads on flips over the course of two games. Pokémon is pure skill guys. Pure skill. I told her after the match that I didn't run any Pokémon besides basics and asked her why she benched so many non-Pyroar Pokémon. Her answer? "I need to give myself options so I have to bench other Pokémon." /ragequit
 
-Nationals 2013 Top 16, I'm playing Landorus/Mewtwo/Cobalion EXs/Garbodor against Darkrai, a favorable matchup, and just had one of the dumbest matches. Game 1 He goes first and gets the TURN ONE Night Spear along with Laser, Virbank, and Dark Claw and never loses momentum. Game 2 I go first and get the T1 Laser Virbank on his Sableye. He gets no basics out and loses.Game 3 is really intense back and forth but I eventually come out on top, if not for his Hypnotoxic Laser. I stayed asleep for about 5 or 6 flips, three full turns of poison to knock out my Mewtwo EX which I would have otherwise won with. I was frustrating, because my bracket would've been all Plasma and Darkrai, decks that I had favorable matchups against and had been beating all tournament.

-Florida Regionals 2014 Round 1 I'm playing ho-oh/Sigilyph/techs against VirGen. Game 1 I get a T2 Rainbow Burn for 200 and roll him with ho-oh. Game 2 I go second and get a godly start. I got a TURN ONE Rainbow Burn for 200 damage and my opponent scooped right there.

-Cities, I'm playing Aromatisse box against VirGen Balloons.
My opponent goes first and gets the T2 Lysandre Slash on Spritzee, T3 VS Seeker Slash another Spritzee, and T4 Red Signal Megalo Cannon on an Aromatisse. I am setting up slowly and have prized my Yveltal EX and Max Revive. There's nothing I can do from there.

-Worlds 2013, my Blastoise vs my friend [member]Nigel[/member]'s Darkrai. He gets up 5 prizes with fast pressure and Blastoise denial and used up 3 Catchers. I then get set up and roll him. When one of my attackers got damaged, I Rush In or retreated it out for a new one, because I played 5 or 6 attackers. His last prize was the 4th Catcher he needed, and I made a 6 or 5-1 comeback.

-States 2013, I played Registeel EX/Cryogonal NVI/Garbodor/techs and somehow made the finals.

-Every time I played against Blastoise I came super close to beating it even when I have a bad matchup.

-Cities finals one time, my Quad Tornadus (3 EX 1 baby) vs Big Basics Garbodor, essentially an auto win for me. Game 1, I go second with lone Baby Tornadus and he gets a T2 or T3 win because I don't get any other basics. Game 2 I donk his lone Trubbish. Game 3 I benched out because I drew crap the whole game.
 
I tried out a Tyrantrum deck on playtcg and quickly discovered that all of my 4 tyrantrum along with 2 tyrunts were prized.
 
I played a game using a Blastoise-EX, Blastoise, Toad-EX, Keldeo-EX rogue/big basic thingy and managed to N my opponent to 1 card three times in a row, while keeping a pretty good item lock... of course my opponent managed to top deck Juniper for the first two times xD

And then in the next game, I started with two Squirtle, a Wartortle and Blastoise with no draw support against a Manectric-Yveltal deck... and benched out after two turns. Then I discovered that 5 of my [W] energy was prized, along with a Juniper. Righteo...
 
Played with the Blastoise deck again, and ended up flipping 4 heads in a row using a Bubbling (Paralysing) Squirtle, which effectively denied my opponent from taking their last prize card and decking them out, causing me to win! Yay! Talk about fluke... 0.004 chance y/n?
 
First of all, 4 Rare Candy prized in Empoleon/Swampert on PTCGO. That's the extent of my worst luck.

Best luck was where I was running Steelix Prime back in MD-Triumphant for Cities. I had a single Sableye in my deck, and one Rainbow energy (To power up Frost Rotom which covered my fire weakness). I was playing against a Jumpluff deck in Top 4. It was game 3, I start with Sableye, he starts with a lone Hoppip, and says, "Tell me you don't have a rainbow energy." I look at my hand; my only energies are DCE and special Metal, and my only supporter is Bebe's Search. I draw my first card, and it's the rainbow energy. I Overconfident his 30 HP Hoppip for 40 damage. The thing is, if he hadn't mentioned that, I'm not sure if I would have realized I had the win right there, since I had just started playing and never actually used Sableye for damage.
 
Playing Quad Garchomp against Terrakion Garbodor way back in the day. Dead draw really bad at the start of the match, and he gets Garbodor out, so I can't even Dragon Call to set up Garchomps. My opponent finally N's me, hoping to get stuff to secure the game, but he misses it. I actually have Supporters now, so I start to get set up, but I'm still way behind. At one point, I have to Dragonblade to Knockout his Terrakion EX with 60 on it, and I wind up discarding both Super Rod. I remember thinking I might as well scoop, but I keep playing, and we get down to one prize each, with my opponent having a damaged Terrakion on the Bench, and I somehow draw into my last Catcher, and flip heads for game.

We had a rematch at a League Challenge a while back. I was playing Virizion / Mewtwo with Raichu, and he was playing Miltank / Greninja. I start with Pikachu to his Froakie and go second. I don't have much in my hand, so I attach DCE to Pikachu and hit a Muscle Band off of an N. Use Quick Attack with Pikachu, flip heads, and knock out his only Froakie in play when he would have had turn 2 Greninja. He sends up Miltank and we both race to get set up. I get Virizion out and Emerald Slash a few times. Before it went down, I sent up Pikachu again and used Quick Attack with Laserbank to finish off his Miltank. The only things he had Knocked Out thus far were the two Pikachus. He plays N and says, "If I don't get Greninja, Water Energy, Water Energy, I scoop." He gets it, and OHKO's my Virizion with Miltank. After a few turns of me Knocking Out Miltanks, and retreating into fresh Mewtwos, he N's himself down to two cards, and hits his final Water Energy to Water Shuriken for game.
 
During A Furious Fists Prerelease, I was able to use nothing but a Dedenne to defeat my opponent's Seismitoad-EX. Here's how it went:

-My opponent uses Quaking Punch to knock out my Gothorita. He has 1 Water Energy and 2 Grass Energy attached to it.
-I promote Dedenne and Energy Short for 60.
-He Punches for 30.
-I short again.
-He Punches for 30 1 last time.
-I short 1 last time to take 2 Prizes.
