# Bugs and Glitches
|
||
|
||
These are known bugs and glitches in the original Pokémon Crystal game: code that clearly does not work as intended, or that only works in limited circumstances but has the possibility to fail or crash.
|
||
|
||
Fixes are written in the `diff` format. If you've used Git before, this should look familiar:
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
this is some code
|
||
-delete red - lines
|
||
+add green + lines
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Some fixes are mentioned as breaking compatibility with link battles. This can be avoided by writing more complicated fixes that only apply if the value at `[wLinkMode]` is not `LINK_COLOSSEUM`. That's how Crystal itself fixed two bugs in Gold and Silver regarding the moves [Reflect and Light Screen](#reflect-and-light-screen-can-make-special-defense-wrap-around-above-1024) and [Present](#present-damage-is-incorrect-in-link-battles).

||
*Fixing this bug will break compatibility with standard Pokémon Crystal for link battles.*
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGqu3d3pdok&t=450))
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `SpeciesItemBoost` in [engine/battle/effect_commands.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm)
|
||

|
||
|
||
([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGqu3d3pdok&t=450))
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `DittoMetalPowder` in [engine/battle/effect_commands.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff

## Reflect and Light Screen can make (Special) Defense wrap around above 1024
|
||
|
||
*Fixing this bug will break compatibility with standard Pokémon Crystal for link battles.*
|
||
|
||
This bug existed for all battles in Gold and Silver, and was only fixed for single-player battles in Crystal to preserve link compatibility.
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `TruncateHL_BC` in [engine/battle/effect_commands.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm)
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
.finish
|
||
- ld a, [wLinkMode]
|
||
- cp LINK_COLOSSEUM
|
||
- jr z, .done
|
||
; If we go back to the loop point,
|
||
; it's the same as doing this exact
|
||
; same check twice.
|
||
ld a, h
|
||
or b
|
||
jr nz, .loop
|
||
|
||
-.done
|
||
ld b, l
|
||
ret
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(This fix also affects Thick Club, Light Ball, and Metal Powder, as described above, but their specific fixes in the above bugs allow more accurate damage calculations.)
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Glacier Badge may not boost Special Defense depending on the value of Special Attack
|
||
|
||
As Pryce's dialog ("That BADGE will raise the SPECIAL stats of POKéMON.") implies, Glacier Badge is intended to boost both Special Attack and Special Defense. However, due to BoostStat overwriting `a` when boosting Special Attack, the Special Defense boost will not happen if the unboosted Special Attack stat is either 0-205 or 433-660.
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `BadgeStatBoosts.CheckBadge` in [engine/battle/core.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/core.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
.CheckBadge:
|
||
ld a, b
|
||
srl b
|
||
+ push af
|
||
call c, BoostStat
|
||
+ pop af
|
||
inc hl
|
||
inc hl
|
||
; Check every other badge.
|
||
srl b
|
||
dec c
|
||
jr nz, .CheckBadge
|
||
; Check GlacierBadge again for Special Defense.
|
||
-; This check is buggy because it assumes that a is set by the "ld a, b" in the above loop,
|
||
-; but it can actually be overwritten by the call to BoostStat.
|
||
srl a
|
||
call c, BoostStat
|
||
ret
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Moves with a 100% secondary effect chance will not trigger it in 1/256 uses
|
||
|
||
*Fixing this bug **may** break compatibility with standard Pokémon Crystal for link battles.*
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHkyO5T5wZU&t=206))
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `BattleCommand_EffectChance` in [engine/battle/effect_commands.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
- ; BUG: 1/256 chance to fail even for a 100% effect chance,
|
||
- ; since carry is not set if BattleRandom == [hl] == 255
|
||
- call BattleRandom
|
||
+ ld a, [hl]
|
||
+ sub 100 percent
|
||
+ ; If chance was 100%, RNG won't be called (carry not set)
|
||
+ ; Thus chance will be subtracted from 0, guaranteeing a carry
|
||
+ call c, BattleRandom
|
||
cp [hl]
|
||
pop hl
|
||
ret c
|
||
|
||
.failed
|
||
ld a, 1
|
||
ld [wEffectFailed], a
|
||
and a
|
||
ret
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Compatibility preservation:** If you wish to keep compatibility with standard Pokémon Crystal, you can disable the fix during link battles by also applying the following edit in the same place:
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
+ ld a, [wLinkMode]
|
||
+ cp LINK_COLOSSEUM
|
||
+ scf ; Force RNG to be called
|
||
+ jr z, .nofix ; Don't apply fix in link battles, for compatibility
|
||
ld a, [hl]
|
||
sub 100 percent
|
||
; If chance was 100%, RNG won't be called (carry not set)
|
||
; Thus chance will be subtracted from 0, guaranteeing a carry
|
||
+.nofix
|
||
call c, BattleRandom
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Belly Drum sharply boosts Attack even with under 50% HP
|
||
|
||
*Fixing this bug will break compatibility with standard Pokémon Crystal for link battles.*
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuCLMikWo4Y))
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `BattleCommand_BellyDrum` in [engine/battle/move_effects/belly_drum.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/move_effects/belly_drum.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
BattleCommand_BellyDrum:
|
||
; bellydrum
|
||
-; This command is buggy because it raises the user's attack
|
||
-; before checking that it has enough HP to use the move.
|
||
-; Swap the order of these two blocks to fix.
|
||
- call BattleCommand_AttackUp2
|
||
- ld a, [wAttackMissed]

## Berserk Gene's confusion lasts for 256 turns or the previous Pokémon's confusion count
|
||
|
||
*Fixing this bug will break compatibility with standard Pokémon Crystal for link battles.*
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://youtube.com/watch?v=Pru3mohq20A))
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `HandleBerserkGene` in [engine/battle/core.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/core.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
HandleBerserkGene:
|
||
...
|
||
ld a, BATTLE_VARS_SUBSTATUS3
|
||
call GetBattleVarAddr
|
||
push af
|
||
set SUBSTATUS_CONFUSED, [hl]
|
||
+ ld a, [hBattleTurn]
|
||
+ and a
|
||
+ ld hl, wEnemyConfuseCount
|
||
+ jr z, .set_confuse_count
|
||
+ ld hl, wPlayerConfuseCount
|
||
+.set_confuse_count
|
||
+ call BattleRandom
|
||
+ and %11
|
||
+ add a, 2
|
||
+ ld [hl], a
|
||
ld a, BATTLE_VARS_MOVE_ANIM
|
||
call GetBattleVarAddr
|
||
...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This makes the Berserk Gene use the regular confusion duration (2-5 turns).
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Confusion damage is affected by type-boosting items and Explosion/Self-Destruct doubling
|
||
|
||
*Fixing this bug will break compatibility with standard Pokémon Crystal for link battles.*
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://twitter.com/crystal_rby/status/874626362287562752))
|
||
|
||
**Fix:**
|
||
|
||
First, edit [wram.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/wram.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|

|
||
+wIsConfusionDamage:: db ; c6b5
|
||
|
||
wPlayerStats:: ; c6b6
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then edit four routines in [engine/battle/effect_commands.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||

||
+ ld [wIsConfusionDamage], a

```
|

```diff

## Beat Up works incorrectly with only one Pokémon in the party
|
||
|
||
*Fixing this bug may break compatibility with standard Pokémon Crystal for link battles.*
|
||
|
||
This bug prevents the rest of Beat Up's effect from being executed if the player or enemy only has one Pokémon in their party while using it. It prevents Substitute from being raised and King's Rock from working.
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `BattleCommand_EndLoop` in [engine/battle/effect_commands.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|

- call BattleCommand_BeatUpFailText
|
||
- jp EndMoveEffect
|
||
+ ret
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Cosmetic fix:** This fix does not break compatibility, but it only affects what's shown on the screen for the patched game.
|
||
|
||
```diff

||
jp EndMoveEffect
|

```
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Beat Up may fail to raise Substitute
|
||
|
||
This bug prevents Substitute from being raised if Beat Up was blocked by Protect or Detect.
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `BattleCommand_FailureText` in [engine/battle/effect_commands.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/effect_commands.asm).
|
||
|
||
```diff

|
||
## Beat Up may trigger King's Rock even if it failed
|
||
|
||
*Fixing this bug will break compatibility with standard Pokémon Crystal for link battles.*
|
||
|
||
This bug is caused because Beat Up never sets `wAttackMissed`, even when no Pokémon was able to attack (due to being fainted or having a status condition).
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `BattleCommand_BeatUpFailText` in [engine/battle/move_effects/beat_up.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/move_effects/beat_up.asm):
|
||
|

This bug existed for all battles in Gold and Silver, and was only fixed for single-player battles in Crystal to preserve link compatibility.
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `BattleCommand_Present` in [engine/battle/move_effects/present.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/move_effects/present.asm):

```diff

**Fix:** Edit `AI_Smart_MeanLook` in [engine/battle/ai/scoring.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/ai/scoring.asm):

```diff

## Dragon Scale, not Dragon Fang, boosts Dragon-type moves

*Fixing this bug will break compatibility with standard Pokémon Crystal for link battles.*
|

## Daisy's grooming doesn't always increase happiness

**Fix:** Edit `LoadEnemyMon.CheckMagikarpArea` in [engine/battle/core.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/core.asm):

|

|

|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `LoadEnemyMon.CheckMagikarpArea` in [engine/battle/core.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/core.asm):
|
||
|

```diff

**Better fix:** Rewrite the whole system to use millimeters instead of feet and inches, since they have better precision (1 in = 25.4 mm); and only convert from metric to imperial units for display purposes (or don't, of course).
|

## Battle transitions fail to account for the enemy's level

([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eij_1060SMc))

There are three things wrong here:

- `wBattleMonLevel` gets overwritten after it's initialized by `FindFirstAliveMonAndStartBattle`
|

- `wBattleMonLevel` isn't initialized until much later when the battle is with a trainer
|
||
|
||
**Fix:**

||
|

First, edit [engine/battle/battle_transition.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/battle_transition.asm):

## Move selection menu doesn't handle joypad properly
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjFUo6Jr4po&t=438))
|
||
|
||
`hInMenu` isn't defined in the menu that handles selecting moves in a battle. Because of this, your cursor is usually rendered unable to keep scrolling when one of the directional keys is being held. It's up for debate whether this behavior was intentional or not, but this value should be defined when in the move selection menu. A value of 1 will allow it to keep scrolling, though it's usually 0 by default.
|
||
There exists one way in which this behaviour would be temporarily changed in-game, and that's when the credits sequence is triggered, `hInMenu` will be set but never unset. This can be fixed with the following:
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `Credits` in [engine/movie/credits.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/movie/credits.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
ldh a, [hVBlank]
|
||
push af
|
||
ld a, $5
|
||
ldh [hVBlank], a
|
||
+ ldh a, [hInMenu]
|
||
+ push af
|
||
ld a, $1
|
||
ldh [hInMenu], a

|
||
pop af
|
||
ldh [hVBlank], a
|
||
pop af
|
||
ldh [rSVBK], a
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you want to make sure `hInMenu` always has a defined value in the move selection menu, the following code will set it to 1:
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `BattleTurn` in [engine/battle/core.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle/core.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
BattleTurn:

## `LoadMetatiles` wraps around past 128 blocks
|
||
|
||
This bug prevents you from using blocksets with more than 128 blocks.
|

**Fix:** Edit `LoadMetatiles` in [home/map.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/home/map.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
; Set hl to the address of the current metatile data ([wTilesetBlocksAddress] + (a) tiles).
|
||
- ; This is buggy; it wraps around past 128 blocks.

## Surfing directly across a map connection does not load the new map
|
||
|
||
([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFOWvMNG-zw))
|
||
|
||
**Fix:**
|
||
|
||
First, edit `UsedSurfScript` in [engine/events/overworld.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/events/overworld.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||

|
||
special SurfStartStep
|
||
- applymovement PLAYER, wMovementBuffer
|
||
end
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then edit `SurfStartStep` in [engine/overworld/player_object.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/overworld/player_object.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|

## Swimming NPCs aren't limited by their movement radius
|
||
|
||
This bug is why the Lapras in [maps/UnionCaveB2F.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/maps/UnionCaveB2F.asm), which uses `SPRITEMOVEDATA_SWIM_WANDER`, is not restricted by its `1, 1` movement radius.
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `CanObjectMoveInDirection` in [engine/overworld/npc_movement.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/overworld/npc_movement.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff

|
||
|
||
This bug can allow you to talk to Eusine in Celadon City and encounter Ho-Oh with only traded legendary beasts.
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `CheckOwnMon` in [engine/pokemon/search.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/pokemon/search.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
; check OT
|
||
-; This only checks five characters, which is fine for the Japanese version,
|
||
-; but in the English version the player name is 7 characters, so this is wrong.

## Catching a Transformed Pokémon always catches a Ditto
|
||
|
||
This bug can affect Mew or Pokémon other than Ditto that used Transform via Mirror Move or Sketch.
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `PokeBallEffect` in [engine/items/item_effects.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/items/item_effects.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|

## `ChooseWildEncounter` doesn't really validate the wild Pokémon species
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `ChooseWildEncounter` in [engine/overworld/wildmons.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/overworld/wildmons.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||
.ok
|
||
ld a, b
|
||
ld [wCurPartyLevel], a
|
||
ld b, [hl]

## `TryObjectEvent` arbitrary code execution
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `TryObjectEvent` in [engine/overworld/events.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/overworld/events.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||

## `ClearWRAM` only clears WRAM bank 1
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `ClearWRAM` in [home/init.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/home/init.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff
|
||

## `BattleAnimCmd_ClearObjs` only clears the first 6⅔ objects
|
||
|
||
**Fix:** Edit `BattleAnimCmd_ClearObjs` in [engine/battle_anims/anim_commands.asm](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/engine/battle_anims/anim_commands.asm):
|
||
|
||
```diff

ld hl, wActiveAnimObjects
