so after learning from Brock's Onix about the mechanics of Bind, i thought that it also works simillarly with Wrap. So I caught Comic the Bellsprout, now a Weepinbell and spammed Wrap. Went a little risky against Starmie because it was faster than Comics but we won eventually.

Earlier to that said event, I had the first casualty on my Spearow named Impact to a trainer's Mankey on Nugget Bridge. Didn't expect it would one shot him.

I am also not aware that I could get a free Charmander on Route 24. I could not get it becauss I already caught Comic there.

Also why does the game says that the move failed after I used a status condition on the enemy? Am I missing something?

fight was easy with Lucida the Nidoran F KOing the Geodude and Silkscreen the Butterfree defeating the Geodude. Lucida would have KOd Brock's whole team until the Onix used Bind that is completely different to what I know.

I know learned that Bind prevents you from making a move. It seems that the opponent using it is also prevented to making a move other than Bind. And also I can switch out mid Bind?
