Contact field

It's a heavy misnomer in my book. Only one of the flags it can have determines if there's any physical contact. A better name would be the generic "flags". Here's the possible values:

0x01 Target may flinch if the attacker has a King's Rock
0x02 Attack is checked for accuracy
0x04 Can be redirected back to the user by target's Snatch
0x08 Can be redirected back to the user by target's Magic Coat
0x10 Is affected by Protect and Detect.
0x20 User makes physical contact with the target

Snatch and Magic Coat are mutually exclusive. --Kyoufu Kawa 17:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
