Catch rate glitches (Generation II): Difference between revisions

In {{GSC}}, ifa the opposingwild Pokémon's catch rate is not affected if it is burned, poisoned, or paralyzed, despite those conditions increasing catch rate in other generations and the code seeming to attempt to factor them in. Sleep and freeze still affect the catch rate as intended.

What the code does is set a value increasing catch rate (referred to as "a" in Bulbapedia's explanation, linked below) to 10 if the opponent is asleep or frozen, and do nothing otherwise. The next few lines are presumably intended to set the value to 5 if there is a different status condition present; however, since the "jrvalue nz"of precedingregister it<code>a</code> preventsis thisalready from<code>WildPokemonStatus being& able(SLP|FRZ)</code>, tothe occursecond <code>jr nz, as.done</code> WildPokemonStatusis willnever nottaken, beand the value is set to 0 anyway.
