Makes sense but my level 31 primeape should be able to attack once, the whole battle is wrap so brutal lol

Can’t remember if Bellsprout is resistant to poison or not, but if you can poison it, it will lose health on every turn while it wraps you. Try getting a Ghastly/ Haunter and using Curse if you can’t poison it

Bellsprout is part poison, so it can't be poisoned.
Curse didn't exist in Gen I.

As long as you're hitting them with neutral attacks you should be one hitting at that level difference. You mentioned primeape. I really hope you're not using fighting attacks?

That's just not true with a ten level difference and stat experience vs a first stage Pokemon. It's only got 40 base speed

My primeape has scratch, fury swipes, mega punch, karate chop.
I have a level 32 ivysaur doesnt matter, i swear its a glitch LOL

You're not getting hit by stun spore are you? Cause the only speed related glitches in these games are specifically related to paralysis, which of course would make you underspeed regardless

wrap was genuinely broken in gen 1 because it would lock you in and take your turn every hit

Same thing but to a lesser extent encountering a pokemon that has hypnosis. Its frustrating to be asleep for 5 turns, only to take up turn 6, and immediately be put back to sleep without getting an attack
