There is a bug with stat-boosting moves in RBY. Here is a video from Crystal_ explaining how stat-boosting moves are weird. Note the correction in the video blurb. The short version is: - If a stat is already at 999, +1 boosting moves will have no effect and +2 boosting moves will boost by +1...

I agree that parafusion is better than confusion alone, but my point is that the rationale for Confuse Ray is in fact improved by having fewer paralysed opponents (and therefore Lapras being able to para less things does not mean that Confuse Ray should drop in usage on it; Lapras itself is...

As I've said before, Lapras does not WANT to paralyse Chansey. It wants to freeze Chansey. Lapras should only be trying parafusion if Chansey is ALREADY paralysed. If Chansey's healthy, Lapras should be going for CRay/Blizzard (CRay slightly raises the chance that you'll get a freeze). Well, I...

Yes it does, and no it wasn't known about. But it's not as relevant because nobody spams Tbolt into Electrics hoping for a para (as almost everything besides Electrics that uses Tbolt also uses Blizzard, which does over twice as much damage to Electrics and has a much nastier secondary, and...

I think you mean they paralyse the target. I've never been burned by any of these moves.

It's certainly better than Double-Edge on Tauros (a. Chansey. b. Tauros has just barely enough bulk to avoid 2HKOs from almost everything; any recoil severely degrades that) even without the para (and if you calculate "net" damage, it comes out lower than Body Slam). Snorlax there's more of a...

Specifically, there's a situation I'm curious about; does DrumLax reach +5 or +6? I've heard Belly Drum increases Attack in jumps of +2 (and forgets to check the first one, hence the glitchdrum), but does that mean it can hit +6 when boosting from +0, even though +5 is already capped? (It...

I don't think the Nintendo 64 even has wifi capability. But yeah apparently it can do 6v6s. IDK then. Sleep wears off faster in Stadium, incidentally.

Crystal used Metagame Break! It's super effective!

Understood. Just thought it was important to clarify.

This can't be directly tested without thousands of trials, so I'll just ask: Did Psychic's secondary-effect chance get fixed to 85/256 (~1/3) instead of the 76/256 (30%) it had been thought to be?

Psychic can cause Special falls against other Psychics. Just tested it myself.

Stadium doesn't allow 6v6 IIRC, so faithful Stadium battles kinda suck. Sleep Clause was devised before Stadium existed, as it is essential to make RBY playable (sleep was clearly balanced for PokeFlute, which you can't use in link battles). Freeze Clause shouldn't be in use in...

Yeah, TobyBro really likes this. Does this glitch still activate if "nothing happened" ie the stat is already maxed or minned?

I think we can all agree that this battle involved hax. :P I can see why this slipped under the radar; as Normals don't resist Normal (and nobody bothers spamming Tbolt into Electrics since para isn't worth it) it's rare that they'd last long enough for their continuing avoidance of the...
