* In ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (Video Game)|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]''/''Emerald'', you cannot lose against Zigzagoon/Poochyenna when saving the life of the Professor at the beginning. Even if you just use the Buff/Debuff move against them over and over... it will flee, like a scared Latios.
** Also played with in ''[[Pokémon Black and White (Video Game)|Pokémon Black and White]]'': you can actually faint Reshiram/Zekrom, but the dragons just get back up and fight you again until you catch them. [[Anti
* In ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'', when you fight {{spoiler|Exdeath as Galuf alone}}, you can't lose -- even if your HP goes to 0, which it's pretty much guaranteed to do, nothing happens. {{spoiler|Galuf dies after the battle either way, though.}} This is one of those rare examples where the battle is a [[Foregone Victory]] but is nowhere near being an [[Anticlimax Boss]].
** In ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', you can't lose the final one-on-one duel between {{spoiler|Cloud and Sephiroth}}. Either you hit him with Omnislash, or you automatically counter one of his attacks with a standard strike, which is enough to finish the battle.
Line 32:
* During the [[Inevitable Tournament]] in ''[[Xenogears (Video Game)|Xenogears]]'', one of your opponents is Dan, a young boy who blames you for the destruction of the [[Doomed Hometown]]. Compared to other fighters in the tournament, he's effortless to beat. If you're feeling charitable, however, you can also simply defend and heal, and he'll eventually forfeit the match and give you an [[Lost Forever|unique]], [[Guide Dang It|surprisingly strong piece of armor]].
** There's also the sequence where you {{spoiler|rescue Rico from his execution}}. The arena monster is a Rankar Dragon, just like the one you fought and defeated near the beginning of the game. The arena dragon has pretty much the same stats as the first one, and therefore will probably die in one hit from your considerably-upgraded-since-then Weltall.
* At the end of ''[[Paper Mario (Video Game)|Paper Mario]]'', you fight {{spoiler|Kammy Koopa}} as {{spoiler|Twink, with Peach as a helper}}. The battle is completely scripted. Once you win, {{spoiler|Mario [[Eleventh
** It's impossible to lose the first fight in ''[[Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door (Video Game)|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' against Lord Crump, as you can only attack (doing so a maximum of 5 times defeats Lord Crump, while Lord Crump has 5 HP, an attack power of 1 and Mario has 10 HP) or Defend (which makes Lord Crump do no damage at all). This particular fight has no luck element to it at all.
** It is actually possible to lose if you wittle down your HP before the match by jumping into the water.
