Super effective move AI flaw: Difference between revisions

{{Template:Misc R/B}}

{{Outdated|1=Since this subject, there have been various more in-depth studies of AI for Generations I through III (possibly later Generations as well). The article describes a very brief simplification of one type of AI flaw. The subject is a lot more complex and the article might better be reworked into something different, such as a page about AI flaws in general. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNqiqFZmUjs This is a good summary video by Abyssoft].}}

In Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow, enemy Pokémon from some computer controlled Trainers (but not wild Pokémon) prioritize super effective moves over regularly effective or not very effective/non effective moves even if the move does not deal damage.

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.
