The fact Game Freak uses both 10000 - Speed AND 8192 overflow calculation in an age where games are taking up gigabytes of space anyway is truly an example of workarounds that should have been fixed a decade ago.

[@SnakebitSTI]

It's classic Game Freak. Instead of doing something like having Trick Room change the turn order comparison from greater speed goes first to lesser speed goes first, or using the normal method of determining turn order then reversing the list, they did greater of (10000 - speed) % 2^13 goes first. It's arbitrary, it's not the most sensible way to do it, and it introduces a bug, and that's just Game Freak's approach to mechanics in general.

Bonus info: 1809 is the optimal speed for trick room, anything faster will go after it. You can keep using mod 8192 to work out anything above 8192, it will keep the same properties. The highest possible speed possible in-game with no modding/hacking is 13152 (i posted a video on this account doing it). 13152 mod 8192 is 4960 which is the effective speed stat of that pokemon and because it is above 1808 it still outspeeds trick room.

Funnily enough outspeeding trick room can be semi-reliably triggered. However this only really applies in level 100 doubles formats. All you need is pelipper and a swift swim user that has agility (or anything that gives a +2 speed boost) and base speed above 54. In 1 turn, you can use a +2 speed boosting move on the swift swim user and tailwind on pelipper to guarantee a trick room outspeed.

And with this implementation, when multiple pokemon outspeed trick room, the one who goes first is the one who's speed is the closest to 8192, so after you pass the speed barrier you go right back around to using the trick room principle of "more speed = slower" again. Outspeeding trick room is like achieving a secret priority bracket of 0.5. Which also turns out to unlock the 1.5, 2.5 so on and so forth.

Surprising how this is still in the game if it has been found out long ago. Just rewrite the code of Trick Room so it subtracts the original speed from 8192 and you can dismiss that whole buisness with subtracting 8192 if the number is greater. That fix literally takes 5 minutes at best. And its not like any Pokemon could reach 8192 speed anyways. Max speed Regileki with +6 boost and scarf with tailwind up still has less than 8192 speed, so even in that case the fix would check out.

The thing is that Trick Room is normally not seen on playthroughs of the game, so it's pretty much a competitive move only. And even on competitive, it's mainly on VGC battles ruleset instead of Smogon's ruleset, which, thanks to the level 50 of all pokemon in VGC, makes it impossible to happen in regular VGC battle and even specific gimmick teams to try this also wont work because it takes too many turns to set up.

[@the_reptilian_researcher_360]

Regieleki: You think trick room is your ally. You merely adopted that speed. I was born with it.

The funniest thing about it is that multiplying the speed by -1 will do the trick (room) better, as slower speed is closer to 0 and thus greater. Example: 100 vs 250 speed -100 is bigger than -250 and thus will move faster

First video I watch from you: Instant sub! I love to see all of these obscure rules and understand how they can be used to create surprises in matches 😄

[@Vexal50]

I'd hesitate to call this a glitch. An oversight, sure, but everythings working as intended, the in-game text just doesn't match with how the move works

[@marowakcity3727]

I think the funniest thing about this glitch to me is that it would in all likelihood take literally 2 seconds to fix. Just change it from 10,000-x to 8,192-x

[@naphackDT]

That's basically just a bit flip and, depending on the chip instruction set of the hardware, might actually be faster to compute than the current code... Though the most you'd save would be the step of having to load the value 10000 into the register.

Slowbro: “You fool! Not even you can match my speed in this room!” Regieleki: “Then I’ll surpass it!”

[@amari5886]

I like to imagine that Regieleki quickly runs out of Trick Room's range as the other Pokemon is setting it

[@gamesmashdash_7640]

3:34 hang on, hang on; as someone who codes, it wouldn't be hard for coders to just implement a inverse turn order; doing the -10000 is just stupid.

[@Kirbycrasher2746]

In summary; regieleki harnesses the speedforce and breaks time/turn order

[@gothified]

i swear you already made a video on this topic before? maybe i’m tripping but i remember you making a video on the interaction between agility regieleki and trick room.

[@randall2665]

I remember this, too

[@Wifi_Cable]

Glad to see the hilariously broken code practices of gen 1 aren't totally removed.

[@soniablanche5672]

for the nerds: 2^13 = 8192

[@byrontheusurper6505]

I had no clue about this, this is so crazy!

[@alexandremenino2006]

why would they program it like that?? why is it (10000 - speed) intead of (8192 - speed) or (0 - speed) and yes that would work with speed being both signed and unsigned int

[@fireemblem6915]

This reminds me when you to any extreme end of anything in physics and stuff just starts breaking rules.

[@yeetuszilla1663]

Honestly this should stay as a feature. It's like the Pokemon's so fast trick room just can't keep up

[@potatoheadpokemario1931]

I like the idea that pokemon can outspeed trickroom being canon

[@ChrissyMIsBack]

If your playing Double Ubers, lead with magearna and a tailwind setter. Shift gear magearna turn 1 and tailwind as well. Turn 2 baton pass into choice scarf calyrex shadow and boom you got the glitch

[@MystaAlex]

Wait that goes insanely hard though that hes so fast he can outspeed trick room

[@rebeccadavis3185]

MADE IN HEAVEN

[@thelegendaryascendingdrago4428]

Slowbro: _uses Trick Room_ Regieleki: Time-space laws, prepare to be ignored!

[@jesuisunstroopwafel]

GOTTA GO FAST

1:57 "a play was playing a game *BACK* in *GENERATION 8* "💀

[@AllBladesCut]

This sounds like Gen 2 marowak all over again but a positive outcome instead. (If u gave a thick club marowak to many atk EVs and then used swords dance it’s atk stat would roll over the maximum of 999 and end up being some hilariously small number like 5 or something)
