Trivia

  • Although it's supposed to have a defense stat of 262, since all stats are stored in one bit (allowing for a max of 255), it overflows and goes back down to just 6. The same can happen to a party member's stats (excluding Offense and Defense) if the Rock candy trick is used too many times.
*There is a failsafe for a party member's Offense and Defense to not go above 255, but enemies do not have said failsafe.
