If a {{p|Marowak}} with an {{stat|Attack}} stat equal or higher than 256 uses {{m|Swords Dance}} while holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}}, its Attack will be reduced by 1024 (minimum 1) during [[damage]] calculation only. This happens as a consequence of an oversight that causes the temporary Attack boost from {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}} to ignore the [[stat]] cap of 999 unlike other stat modifiers. During damage calculation, both the attacker's (Special) Attack stat and the defender's (Special) Defense stat are modded by 256, and, prior to that, if either is higher than 255, both are temporarily divided by 4. Thus, stats that are equal or higher than 1024 (256x4) will be treated wrongly. | If a {{p|Marowak}} with an {{stat|Attack}} stat equal or higher than 256 uses {{m|Swords Dance}} while holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}}, its Attack will be reduced by 1024 (minimum 1) during [[damage]] calculation only.

However, Pokémon Crystal still performs the glitch during Link battles, presumably in order to prevent inconsistencies during battles between Pokemon Crystal and Pokemon Gold or Silver. | ||
The {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}} {{p|Marowak}} glitch also applies to {{p|Pikachu}} holding {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}} and to {{p|Ditto}} holding {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Metal Powder}}. However, these Pokemon need to receive boosts from a Pokemon that knows {{m|Baton Pass}} in order to be able to reach a stat of at least 1024. | The {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}} {{p|Marowak}} glitch also applies to {{p|Pikachu}} holding {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}} and to {{p|Ditto}} holding {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Metal Powder}}.
