In the Japanese version of the Generation I handheld games, due to a bug, even moves that cannot miss will miss when used against a Pokémon that is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move, unless that target is behind a substitute. | ||

The game then selects a random number ''R'' from 1 to 100 and compares it to ''A'' to determine whether the move hits. If ''R'' is less than or equal to ''A'', the move hits. | The game then selects a random number ''R'' from 1 to 100 and compares it to ''A'' to determine whether the move hits.
