Description
There are some attacks that get constantly updated and buffed, the pure numbers get updated, but not the effect texts.
Example Fury Cutter: The Long Effect text describes an end multiplier of 16x, the short effect of "maxing out after 5 turns"
Both dont even work, cause the maxing out of power happens at 160 power, which was 16x in Gens 2-4 and the 5 turns in 5.
Example Bind: The Effect texts claim an 1/16 of max hp damage, but that category of damage has been overall buffed to 1/8th of max hp damage.
I did not check all moves, but I happened to see this often enough that i can't call the effect text data reliable
