* {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon had virtually no match because their moves were resisted only by other Psychic types and their only weakness was to the {{t|Bug}} type, of which there were only three damaging moves: {{m|Leech Life}}, {{m|Pin Missile}}, and {{m|Twineedle}}. Additionally, most of the Pokémon that learned these moves were part {{t|Poison}} and therefore weak to Psychic moves. {{type|Ghost}} moves were also completely ineffective against Psychic types instead of being super-effective, due to what may be a programming bug. | * {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon had virtually no match because their moves were resisted only by other Psychic types and their only weakness was to the {{t|Bug}} type, of which there were only three damaging moves: {{m|Leech Life}}, {{m|Pin Missile}}, and {{m|Twineedle}}.

* The {{stat|Special}} stat represented both Special Attack and Special Defense, meaning that a Pokémon with a high Special stat had an edge in battle. For example, {{p|Venusaur}} had a [[base stats|base]] Special stat of 100, used {{type|Grass}} (considered "[[Special move|Special]]") moves, and was weak to mostly Special types. | * The {{stat|Special}} stat represented both Special Attack and Special Defense, meaning that a Pokémon with a high Special stat had an edge in battle.
