Line 3:
The '''Substitute drain move not missing''' is a minor battle glitch in English {{RBY}}, where HP draining moves don't miss against a substitute, even they do in {{RGB}} as well as in {{JY}}. It is considered a glitch in the English versions, because the disassembly shows that the games do contain the piece of code to make HP draining moves miss against a substitute, but it ceases to work due to the fix for the [[Swift miss glitch]].
Furthermore, this glitch makes it possible to "drain HP" from a substitute. However, due to a quirk with the [[bp:Substitute (move)#Generation_I|Generation I substitute mechanics]], the drain effect will not happen if the draining move ''breaks'' the substitute. This is due to a separate check that removes the secondary effect of damaging moves ''only when the move breaks a substitute''.
