>>35500787Once I entered a trainer battle (I think it was crystal), and it was my magikarp versus his gastly.
Back then I didn't know what moves did, I didn't know why Splash kept failing, so I kept using it. Anyway, I used Splash on Gastly... and it fell asleep.
I thought it was a joke from the programmers ("your magikarp is so pathetic the opponent went to sleep"), so the first thing I did when I found pokémon resources online is to look up the data for Splash, only to find out it does absolutely nothing.
I'm curious if it really was a glitch, or Splash has indeed a monumentally low chance of putting opponents to sleep.
