The '''draining hitpoints animation glitch''' is a minor [[glitch]] which only exists in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire because of an improved battle system on later handheld games. If the player's Pokémon deals a very large percentage of damage on a wild Pokémon the Hitpoints animation of that Pokémon will not drain but rather its Hitpoints will appear to instantly drop to zero, as if the opponent had used Explosion.

When testing with the move Endeavor and an enemy Pokémon with a hacked amount of HP, hitting exactly 33037 damage caused the HP bar to instantly fall to 0 without any delay. It is unknown whether it is possible to deal exactly 33037 damage in normal gameplay, and if so, it may be very difficult to pull off.
