Unluckiest:

In RBY, I was trying repeatedly to catch an Articuno with good stats, with maybe 30-40 attempts .... but get this: on one of the catches, Articuno had absolute MINIMUM stats. That's right. It was 0/15 on Every. Single. Stat.

Probability-wise, the odds of that happening... I'll let YOU calculate it. There are 5 stats and you have a 1/15 chance of getting the lowest (or the highest) stat possible. Or, you could say it's about as likely as getting a royal flush by drawing five cards out of a deck. Another way to put it is that you would catch an average of 95 shinies in the later generations before you catch a level 50+ Pokemon in RBY with absolute minimum stats.

Why couldn't it have been a max stat Articuno? The chances of getting that is exactly the same. ~_~

Luckiest:
I once participated in a 64-man tournament in RBY about 16 years ago. I happened to be in the finals. The other guy, Lomboy, was better than me, honestly. But even he can't win a haxxored match!

First off, it was Golem against Nidoking with Focus Energy, meaning Nidoking gets an almost guaranteed critical hit. If my Golem gets KO'd, Nidoking cleans up the rest of my team. But Nidoking used Blizzard...and it missed! And my Golem KO'd Nidoking with Earthquake! Keep in mind a critical hit Earthquake wouldn't have KO'd me, which is why Lomboy chose Blizzard.

Later on, it has come down to my Exeggutor against Lomboy's Alakazam, our last Pokemon. My Exeggutor is at like 10% health. The Alakazam is about 40% and paralyzed. I don't have Double-Edge. I'm screwed, right? Nope! I get a critical hit Psychic against Alakazam...and Alakazam gets fully paralyzed. Then Exeggutor gets ANOTHER critical Psychic against Alakazam, and Alakazam falls... and I win the winner's bracket in the tournament! So cruel.
