[Moves] Incorrect mechanic and text error with Binding moves on Ghost Pokemons


Recommended Posts

Hello~

 

When using any Binding move against a Ghost type, the message "Ghost-type Pokï¿ ½ mon cannot be trapped by this move." appears, and the Ghost Pokemon is not binded. However, they should still take binding damage without being restrained from switching.

 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Capture any Clamperl.

2. Find a Gastly.

3. Use Whirlpool.

 

Current Result:

A message with a corrupted character appears, and the Ghost Pokemon is not trapped.

 

Expected Result:

The ghost Pokemon should take binding damage without being restrained from switching.

 

Notes:

- Please see the attached screenshot for reference.

- This issue has been tested with Clamp and Whirlpool. It is assumed to also occur with other non-normal Binding moves.

- The opposite of this issue occurs when successfully hitting a Ghost type with the normal-type Binding moves Bind and Wrap. The Ghost Pokemon will be binded and won't be able to switch out. This is however an edge case scenario, as it is currently only possible by transferring Scrappy onto a Pokemon with Bind/Wrap using Skill Swap.
