{{MoveResearch|Whether Swift can miss in Pokémon Stadium}}
===Generation I===
===Generation I===
In the English versions, Swift inflicts damage and bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit. It can hit a Pokémon even during the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.
In the Western versions of the Generation I handheld games, Swift inflicts damage and bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit. It can hit a Pokémon even during the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.


In all known revisions of the Japanese versions ({{4v2|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}), Swift was intended to never miss, but may miss due to [[List of glitches in Generation I#Swift effect glitch|a glitch]]. If the foe is under a {{m|Substitute}}, Swift will never miss and can hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig and Fly.
In the Japanese versions of the Generation I handheld games, Swift functions as a 100% accuracy move due to [[List of glitches in Generation I#Swift effect glitch|a glitch]], unless the opponent is behind a {{m|substitute}}; if it is, Swift can never miss, even if the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.


===Generation II onwards===
===Generation II onward===
Swift no longer hits the target during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly or Dig, and moves such as {{m|Protect}} also allow the opponent to avoid taking damage.
Swift now bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable turn}} of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.
