Frustration inducing XP fodder
Your normal run of the mill everyday things that when you've spent more than 4 pokeballs on a Paras, suddenly it's personal. What's your's?

Zubat
In the most recent update, nearly every time I try throw a curve, I miss. I used to be good at throwing Zubats, before pokémon "jump" more, i.e., the gym rework. However, I get the curve bonus for throwing a direct straight ball lol. When it flies right, throw the ball, the ball will land on the right side of the Zubat, and you get the curve bonus without risking missing it.
Murkrow. I've had to set rules for myself so that I don't waste all my balls on them. They are:
<300 pokeball
300-700 great ball
700-1000 ultra ball
1000 razzberry ultra ball
And I throw 3 balls and walk away. If I catch it, great! If not, I haven't wasted too many resources. Otherwise, I make it personal and throw 10 ultra balls at a 800 cp murkrow with miserable ivs.
