- In Gen 1 Rage is a continuous attack and there is no way to stop it until the battle ends or the user faints.
There is also a bug causing 100% accuracymoves to only hit 99.6% of the time.
If Rage misses due to this bug while no other accuracy or evasionmodifiers are in place, the accuracy
of Rage will become 0.4%
- In Gen 2-3 the
Attack
increase only applies if Rage was selected that turn if the user is slower than the target.
- From Gen 8 onwards this move can not be selected in battle.
