Notes on Hyper Mode Disobedience

Quotes:

• (when commanded to use another move besides Shadow Rush): "<Pokémon> selfishly used <move> without orders!"
  • This move may target the ally Pokémon.
  • The move may end up being the same move as the one commanded.
  • Non-Shadow Rush moves do use PP as normal, even triggering Pressure.
• When trying to use a Hold Item:
  • (when trying to use a Held Item when it isn't holding one): "<Pokémon> tried to use its item without permission! (will find rest of quote)"
  • (when the item is one it cannot use at the moment, such as a Chesto Berry while not asleep): "<Pokémon> tried to use its item without permission! But it didn't know how!"
    • The same quote is used even if the Pokemon could actually use its item, such as using a Leppa Berry when it has actually used some of its PP.
• "<Pokémon> ignored orders and returned to its BALL!"
• "Unbelievable! <Pokémon> ignored orders and attacked <Player>!" (This one seems to happen more often than attacking the opposing trainer???)
• "Unbelievable! <Pokémon> ignored orders and attacked the opposing trainer!"
• "<Pokémon> is in HYPER MODE! It's too confused to do anything!"
• "<Pokémon> is in HYPER MODE! It attacked itself!" "It hurt itself in its confusion!" (Damage dealt appears to be consistent with normal confusion damage)

• In Hyper Mode, a Pokémon also may be unable to use their own Hold Item under normal circumstances (such as not using an Oran Berry when its HP drops below 50%). I have to look into this further, as I had my Stantler in Hyper Mode and not use its Oran Berry one turn, then suddenly use it at the end of the next turn, even though it was able to do so the first turn.

Attacking a trainer

Question: What exactly happens when a Hyper Mode Pokémon attacks a trainer? --Havoc48 21:47, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't that's possible, even if the article does say so. It's Turtwig A! My talk or wiki edits 22:06, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

It's happened to me once, several years ago. It just says something like "MAKUHITA attacked WES instead!". I don't recall the exact wording, but the Pokémon I THINK does its attacking animation, then Wes just slides back a bit, like when you first battle the Shadow Makuhita, it attacks Wes, then Rui says to be careful, as it's not afraid to attack people.

It is the same thing as wasting a turn, essentially. The Pokémon attacks a trainer, and then it just moves right onto the next thing with no other dialogue or effects.ScottOshawott (talk) 08:12, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Extended Hyper Mode

So I don't have the coding expertise to be able to say for certain, but from observation alone, it seems like the longer a Pokémon stays in Hyper Mode, the more likely it is to ignore orders and do whatever it wants. Is anyone able to verify this through actual data? - unsigned comment from Eskay64 (talk • contribs)
