The battle transition oversight occurs in Pokémon Gold, Silver and Crystal. It was documented by Pigdevil2010.

Like in Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, there are special wild Pokémon battle transition effects which are supposed to occur when the player's first Pokémon is at least three levels lower than the opponent Pokémon.

However, due to the code not loading the level data it is supposed to compare, the transitions use the data from the previously fought Pokémon instead of the one about to be fought.
