Wild Red Card oversight - Page 1

Wild Red Card oversight

In a wild Single Battle (including an SOS Battle as long as there is currently only one opponent), if a wild Pokémon holds a Red Card, the Red Card forces the player's Pokémon to flee rather than switch out when activated.

However, if the player only has one conscious Pokémon in their party, the Red Card will not activate. This makes sense for its effect to force a switch, but for forcing a Pokémon to flee I interpret this as a bug.

This bug occurs in Gen 5, 6, and 7.

The Red Card is kinda buggy, isn't it?

Does this glitch happen in previous generations?

Yeah, SnorlaxMonster said it occurs in Generations V and VI as well.
