Sadly do not have video or photo evidence.

I have played gens 1 and 2 so many times all the way through. Thought I knew all the mechanics.

Well, something new just happened. I was in the Radio Tower fighting Magnemite with my Furret. It used Thunder Wave. Furret used Dig. Then Magnemite used Supersonic and it hit Furret while underground?! I have never had this happen.

I looked it up and am only getting an answer with AI Overview (saying Supersonic can hit a semi-invulnerable Pokémon), but I don't trust it because it is frequently wrong. Has anyone had this happen? I'm thinking paralysis has something to do with it? Is it a glitch?

It was in Silver, not Crystal, but I doubt there's a difference in this mechanic.

I'm doing a low BST run (max 420) in Silver (there isn't a community for GS, unless I missed it). I banned Kadabra because it is just too good. But Haunter can't learn the punches (for some reason) and is very limited on moves. I'm going to give it Psychic once I get to Kanto, but for now, I'm brainstorming movesets in my mind.

It's level 23 right now and has: Hypnosis, Night Shade, Curse, and Spite. I have the Nightmare TM and am considering giving it that along with Curse so it has some reliable damage for awhile, then probably swapping Night Shade for Dream Eater. I'm unsure about bogging down its moveset with moves that rely on the opponent being asleep. I've never used this line much in gen 2 simply because of the lack of reliable Special damage. But I want to give it a shot this time.

(Idk what its Hidden Power is. I plan on testing it out to see, then resetting if it's a bad one)

So far, my team is: Furret, Sudowoodo, Vulpix, Azumarill, and Flaaffy (gonna keep it NFE obvs) along with Gastly. I like the team. I recognize the glaring Ground weakness, but Ground isn't a major threat in gen 2 so I think I'm good (and I plan on using Murkrow once I get to Kanto. I need a Dark-type).
