Draining hitpoints animation glitch: Difference between revisions

The term '''draining hitpoints animation glitch''' (sometimes also known as "'''Defeat a Pokémon without its hitpoints draining'''") refers to 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.
