Mystery Attack

Can we get the possible outcomes of Mystery Attack and their probabilities? Jdrawer (talk) 00:11, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

As far as I can tell from the disassembly of the US release, there are 8 equally likely outcomes (assuming the game's PRNG is uniformly random in the last 8 bits):-
  • 0 damage
  • 10 damage, apply paralysis
  • 10 damage, apply poison
  • 10 damage, apply sleep
  • 10 damage, apply confusion
  • 10 damage, heal Mew for 10
  • 10 damage, no other effect
  • 20 damage
However, I don't think this has a place in the main article as it has been extracted directly from the game with no easy way to independently verify it. --AdituV (talk) 10:51, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
I would certainly disagree. Correct information is absolutely worth being on here, and can (in theory) even be verified empirically in-game. (It's basically the same case as, say, the chance of moves having additional effects.) Nescientist (talk) 17:11, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
