Trivia[]

  • In Generation II, the Moon Ball is incorrectly programmed to have an increased catch rate for Pokémon that evolve via a Burn Heal rather than a Moon Stone. Due to there being no Pokémon that evolved with a Burn Heal, the Moon Ball acts the same as a regular Poké Ball. This is due to the Burn Heal having the same index number (0x0A) in Generation II as the Moon Stone did in Generation I (its index number in Generation II is 0x08 instead) and the code for the Moon Ball mistakenly using the old index number.
