First, the Hu-Mane Six are sent down a {{trapdoor}} and LockedInARoom under the stage, and the negative energy produced by their argument begins to give the Dazzlings more power than they dreamed of, but Sunset Shimmer snaps them out of it and Spike fetches [[ChekhovsGunman DJ PON-3]] to unlock the door. Second, during the final battle, the Dazzlings' siren avatars initially overpower the Rainbooms, knocking the mic from Twilight's hands, but Sunset grabs it and joins the band along with DJ PON-3 providing a beat, allowing them to summon their own alicorn avatar and turn the tide.

!!''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
* It happened in the very first episode of the very first season. Nightmare Moon popped up, carried out her plan, removed her sister, set her traps, destroyed the Elements of Harmony...except that last step turned out to have failed.
* Happens in "The Return Of Harmony". [[spoiler:Discord has [[BreakTheCutie emotionally broken]] and MindRaped five of the Mane Cast already to the point the Elements Of Harmony -- the ''only'' magic that can defeat him -- are useless and driven Twilight Sparkle across the DespairEventHorizon, completely shattering the mane cast's friendship. With the heroes crushed and beaten, Discord takes over Equestria, transforming it into a surreal WorldGoneMad that's growing more chaotic by the moment, with Ponyville as his new "chaos capital of the world". However, his victory is snatched away from his grasp when Celestia [[BatmanGambit sends Twilight all the letters her student had sent her over the last season,]] which restores Twilight's hope and motivates her to restore her friends to normal. Reunited, the group confront Discord and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard his own pride and belief the Elements of Harmony won't work]] causes him not to realize this until its too late. Discord [[SealedEvilInACan is sealed away]] and a WorldHealingWave created by the Elements of Harmony restores Equestria to normal.]]
* Happens again in the Season 2 finale. [[spoiler:The Changeling Queen has destroyed the barrier protecting Canterlot, unleashed her hordes upon the city to feed off the love of all the ponies, and has even defeated Celestia in a straight-up fight by tapping into Shining Armor's love for Cadence. Even worse, the Mane 6 fail to reach the Elements of Harmony in time, and are captured by the thousands of changelings that now storm the city. Unfortunately for the queen, she forgot that Cadence and Shining Armor are still in the room, ''and'' that Cadence's magic is [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower the ability to make ponies love each other.]] The result is Shining Armor getting a massive injection of the PowerOfLove, which gives him enough power to reset the barrier and blast all of the changelings out of Canterlot once and for all.]]
* The Season 3 two parter also has this happen, with a twist. King Sombra's near victory is the result of his actions [[CrazyPrepared taken before the story even starts]]. [[spoiler:Cadence's magic gives out, causing the barrier keeping Sombra locked out to fail and Sombra himself to enter the Crystal Empire. Twilight ends up trapped by a crystal barrier, which also begins to corrupt the Empire from the inside and prevents her from getting the Crystal Heart where it needs to be defeat Sombra. Spike manages to get the Crystal Heart and try to get it to where it can defeat Sombra, but Sombra attacks, coming within a few inches of capturing or possibly ''killing'' him before Shining Armor [[FastBallSpecial throws Cadence like a javelin to catch Spike and the Heart]], allowing them to power it up and kill King Sombra.]]
* "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 Twilight's Kingdom, Part 2]]", [[spoiler:Tirek claiming Discord's magic and all the magic Twilight had been carrying with her means he had technically ''won''. There wasn't a creature alive in Equestria with enough magic to constrain him at that point. So the team has to tap into an EleventhHourSuperpower to break through.]]
* In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E1TheCutieMapPart1 The Cutie Map]]", [[spoiler:Starlight Glimmer is only defeated thanks to three chance reasons: The ponies get ''lucky'' and expose her fake cutie mark, the townsponies (who willingly followed her philosophy to begin with) decided to turn on her rather than accept her well-justified reason for keeping her own cutie mark, and those random villagers managed to (just barely) stop Starlight before she escaped. This is probably the closest the main cast ever came to utter defeat, and that is saying a ''lot''.]]
* It's only made worse in the Season 6 finale, "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E25ToWhereAndBackAgainPart1 To Where and Back Again]]", [[spoiler:as within the span of a few hours that Starlight Glimmer was out of Ponyville visiting her old village with Trixie, Queen Chrysalis and her Changelings, in both another invasion attempt on Equestria and {{Revenge}} on the Royal Family and Elements of Harmony for her previous defeat at the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E26ACanterlotWeddingPart2 Royal Wedding]], have managed to sweep into the country and kidnap all of them without being discovered, replacing all of them with fakes. Every Alicorn Princess, Shining Armor, Spike, and the Mane Six, have been taken back to Chrysalis' hive to be kept prisoner in cocoons, with their magic inaccessible due to Chrysalis' [[AntiMagic throne]], leaving it up to Starlight, Trixie, Discord, and Thorax to mount a rescue attempt that ultimately fails. That is, until Starlight convinces Thorax to willingly give Chrysalis his love energy, sending her flying into her throne and cracking it. This causes Chrysalis' own Swarm to turn on her, and the resulting surge of love energy ends up destroying her throne and throne room, frees her prisoners from their cocoons as the throne room's destruction caused the cocoons to fall and break open, and with her sorely outnumbered by the Royal Family, Elements of Harmony, Master of Chaos, her reformed Swarm, and their new leader, King Thorax, Chrysalis has no choice but to retreat in utter defeat, but not without swearing a new vendetta against Starlight for taking everything away from her.]]
