ghastly not taking any damage

[Gingacide]

Not entirely sure this is a bug, however i've been using a ghastly and training him on RT31 in Johto. The sandshrews are using poison sting on me and the game says "not very effective" however the attack isn't dealing any damage at all. I can go through a dozen sandshrews, all of which get several attacks off on me and still be at full health.

Greetings, @Gingacide

Sorry for the inconvenience.

The reason of why gastly didnt get hurt by poison string is because the power of that move is 15, and is not very effective when you use it on a gastly, so if the gastly is a bit higher level this move dont will do hurt him and for that he stayed full HP.

 

Please, do not hesitate in ask if you continue having doubts, i will be glad to help you.

Have a great day,
