Read description for more information:
In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, the player is forced to check out the Petalburg Gym. In the Petalburg Gym, Norman asks the player to show Wally how to catch a Pokémon.

Wally is supposed to throw a Poké Ball at Ralts after two hits and Ralts is expected not to faint. However, on extremely rare occasions Wally will knock out Ralts in two hits and Wally will act as if Ralts had fainted, and the game continues as if he obtained the Ralts.

According to Bulbapedia:

"This rare occurrence can only happen if Zigzagoon is generated with 11 Attack, and the wild Ralts has a Nature that lowers Defense, an IV of 3 or less in HP, and 5 or less in Defense. With all this, Zigzagoon can do a maximum of 10 damage with its first Tackle, and after Growl is used on it, 7 with its second. This makes for a total of 17 damage, just enough to knock out Ralts. However, the game continues on as if it had been caught. The probability of this occurring is (182/800)*(4/25)*(4/32)*(6/32)*(5/16)*(7/16), or about 1 in 8574."
