:::Hm. I just realized that I cannot really rule out that confusion damage is influenced by held items ''in every generation''{{tt|*|although I'm quite sure for Gen I...}}. Or rather, by some of them. (I read some more Gen II code, and found out that Cubone's confusion damage is apparently independent of whether it holds a [[Thick Club]].) I guess I'm just gonna leave it there. (But if anyone wants to test every item in every game, I will gladly hear their results.) Although I believe this is really one of the most interesting and astonishing facts/findings on Pokémon mechanics, I see no way to reasonably include that findings anywhere, not even on a confusion page. :( ...

::::Allow me to recommend our [[BP:SPADING|spading]] page. It's a page for pretty much precisely this sort of thing.

:::::I just realized that it's actually not that hard to test it—just equip a type-boosting item, compare damage taken when trying to use a move with the corresponding type and one without. I tested in RS, and received the exact amount; so type-enhancing items apparently don't boost confusion damage. (I can't rule out they do in some later game, or some other items do, but I wouldn't really expect it.) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 18:19, 5 July 2017 (UTC) | |||
