Generation II
- If the wild Pokémon is Magnemite , Grimer , or Tangela , the Fast Ball has a 4× catch rate modifier; otherwise, it has a 1× modifier.
- While it is intended to be more effective against all Pokémon that can flee , due to a glitch , it is only effective against the first three Pokémon in the list of Pokémon that have a 10% chance of fleeing (these three being Magnemite, Grimer, and Tangela). The code was intended to instead check the three tables of Pokémon that have a chance of fleeing (Pokémon that have a 10% chance to flee, Pokémon that have a 50% chance to flee, and Pokémon that always flee).
