窘境

This post is dedicated to Pokemon, so be expected to see a lot of random pokemon fluff.
The definition for 窘境 is meant to be something like a very difficult situation, where it is hard to make a choice.
So when we apply 窘境 in pokemon, you may expect me to say something about difficult situations where you are half-dying and deciding on whether to switch or sacrifice or attack.
However, fanyi's definition of 窘境 in pokemon applies only to one situation, when you are in a difficult situation AND you have a one-hit ko attack AND the level of both pokemon is the same so the accuracy is effectively 30%. So this is basically what happened:
Me: (Rhydorn @ quick claw. Has the attack horn drill.)
3 v 3
Opponent sends out feraligatr. I send out rhydorn. Now any surf from it will be a one hit ko, but I risked it anyways.
Feraligatr used brick break! Rhydorn loses 40% of its health.
Rhydorn uses horn drill! It's a one hit ko! Feraligatr fainted.
Opponent sends out Nidoqueen! Rhydorn uses horn drill! Nidoqueen fainted.
Opponent sends out Tauros! (this one is actually faster than Rhydorn, but I have a quick claw right...) Rhydorn uses horn drill! It's a one hit ko! Tauros fainted.
.
The above shows 窘境01, where a rhydorn had a clean sweep of 3 pokes due to 3 lucky horn drills and one lucky quick claw. Let's say that fanyi had other experiences of 窘境, most of the time is lucky one hit ko moves and crits.
窘境 is fun.
