The AI was changed in Pokémon Gold and Silver so that opponents will not always use a non-damaging super effective moves if no super effective damaging move is known. (e.g. Bird Keeper Jose's level 34 Farfetch'd on Route 27 will not be locked on to Agility against a Zubat) ~~In Pokémon R/B/Y and Green there is a slight bug in the formulae which decides which move the enemy Pokémon will use.~~ The game would ensure that if the enemy Pokémon has a move which is super effective or regular effective it would use that move over a 'not very effective move' with super effective moves being those that are the 'top-priority' ones. However this also meant that if the opponent's only regularly effective or higher effective move was a status or stat-altering move the opponent would be forced into using it. This is a problem notably with psychic type moves such as Barrier, Light Screen and Agility (which was a psychic type move until Generation III) for example a Rapidash's high special attack would make it relatively easy to defeat a Golbat of the same level with fire blast; however if that same Rapidash also had agility it would never use fire blast until Agility's PP was 0. As a result that Golbat would have plenty of time to defeat that Rapidash. ~~This glitch was fixed in later generations of the Pokémon games especially in comparison to Generation IV where the opponent's AI has been greatly improved.~~ ~~[[Category:Miscellaneous glitches]]~~ ==Example== In Pokémon Red and Blue, all three of Lance's Dragonair know Agility as their only Psychic-type move. Agility is a status move rather than a damage dealing move, however, these Dragonair will be 'locked on' to Agility against a Poison type Pokémon such as Zubat, because the Psychic type is super effective against the Poison type. A low level Poison type Pokémon could eventually beat one of Lance's Dragonair, and the process could be made quicker with a poison inducing move such as Toxic. As enemy Trainers don't use PP in Generation I, Dragonair running out of PP on Agility is not a problem. ==External links== #[~~http~~https://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/?topic,=5781.0.html A thread on ~~Glitch~~the ~~City~~forums ~~Laboratories Forums concerning~~about the ~~Move AI glitch~~flaw].
