What annoys you most when trying to catch Pokemon?

I know that feel bro, it happened with a shiny Fearow, while leveling up my Togekiss, he always needed two aerial-ace to kill other Fearows, but this one got critically hitted.
 
I hate when I get a legendary/shiny pokemon down low on HP and then it starts using Struggle. This has happend many times specifically Kyogre and Rayquaza.
 
I would hate when I would encounter one of those roaming Pokemon (like the Legendary Beasts or Latios/Latias) when all the Pokemon in my party were way above it in level and all their offensive moves were too powerful. Putting it to sleep still helps, but with a catch rate that low it's not much of a help when it's still at full HP.
 
When they keep escaping. After a while, I just defeat it instead.
 
I think being too strong is the most annoying part. Like, when you get a Pokemon in the yellow, then use your weakest move on it and that move KO's it...that's such a pain.
 
I hate it when you throw a quick ball, and the pokemon doesn't want to stay in the damn ball. So you try to weaken it... THEN IT FAINTS ON A CRITICAL HIT!
 
Suicidal behavior, including, but not limited to; Recoil damage, self-induced confusion and Curse.

And on the lucky side of things; When I was trying to catch a shiny Boldore, and scored a critical hit. I cannot tell you how pleased I was that it had the other-wise annoying Sturdy ability.
 
Ultra-Rare Pokemon you've been searching for for hours, send out strong pokemon with Cut, chuck lots of balls, get frustrated, use Cut, STAB Crit-Hit. The End.
 
Finally catching a shiny Giratina in the Distortion World... and then waking up!
 
Probably has to be when you have your HP bar in the red for your only/final Pokemon, bastard slipping out of the ball and having a higher speed only to knock you out. Oh and it being the rarer species on the route. DS, meet wall!
 
When I find a rare pokemon and my DS is flashing the red light and I'm nowhere near a plug
