Emergency Exit cancels U-turn's/Volt Switch's switching effect. The only bug (from log) here is:

Turn 15

Pheromosa went back to afdsgadsgasd! (Should've been worded as "Pheromosa, come back!" as Pheromosa switches out via a hard-switch, not VoltTurn/Baton Pass)

Go! Toxapex!
Toxapex is hurt by the spikes!

Ikorih withdrew Weavile!

Ikorih sent out Levitation plz (Gengar)!

Toxapex restored a little HP using its Black Sludge!
If you're right then it should have given me the option to attack again instead of switch, which it didn't. I was still forced to switch.
 
What tier was this? If this is VCG or Doubles Ubers, there may have been a Rayquaza, Altaria, Golduck, swablu, Lickilicky, Lickitung, or psyduck on the field.
If this was anything goes or ubers and nothing removed the Heavy Rain (Mega Rayquaza/Primal Groudon), then it was a glitch.
If it was Balanced Hackmons or custom game, there are quite a few reasons for this.

Do you have a replay?
It was ubers. nothing removed the heavy rain at all. It was completely in effect.

emergency exit is apparently being blocked by sheer force, which shouldn't be this way, because according to the description of sheer force on bulbapedia (assuming it's correct because it has been proven to be as such with items such as eject button), "if (and only if) a move is boosted by the effect of Sheer Force, it will no longer trigger item or Ability effects that activate after attacking."

sheer force has been proven to block items such as eject button, because the description of eject button is as follows: "If holder survives a hit, it immediately switches out to a chosen ally. Single use." according to that on ps, which means that it only works after attacking.

however, the description of emergency exit is as follows: "This Pokemon switches out when it reaches 1/2 or less of its maximum HP.", which suggests that it does not only activate after attacking, which means that it ideally should not be blocked by sheer force

i've tested emergency exit to work regardless of golisopod being attacked, which can be seen in this replay:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankou-514351607
it shows that emergency exit works even when it is being brought down to under 50% via a status.

however, emergency exit is then shown to fail against a sheer force mon (in this example, nidoking), which can be referenced here:

emergency exit did not work after being brought down to under 50% via a sheer force life orb earth power.

Sheer force prevents emergency exit and eject button from activating. This is not a glitch, this is how it works ingame.
 
Pokémon can't learn moves they could learn in the 1st gen in Pokebank OU (Pokémon from 1st gen can be transferred to 7th gen http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-bank/)
For example, Alakazam can't have Tri-Attack but it can learn it in Red/Blue/Yellow (Source: your team builder).
We do not know how transferring from gen 1 to gen 7 will work, what restrictions they will have, or even if they keep their moves. PS will continue to say that Pokemon cannot learn gen 1 exclusive moves until gf/nintendo makes it clear as to what will happen, or release and people start testing.
 
Flower gift is supposed to boost your ally's attack and special defense in sunlight, but it only boosts Cherrim's.

Okay, so this is the bug. Apparently Ribombee is immune to Paralysis and Flinching right now. I just played a match ( http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankdoublesou-514391529 ) where I start with a Togedemaru and a Tapu Koko against their Ribombee and Oricorio. First turn I use Fake Out and Ribombee doesn't flinch from it. Both the other player and I notice it and say something about it in the chat log. Then the next turn, my Togedemaru uses Nuzzle on the Ribombee. Nuzzle has a 100% chance to Paralyze, however the Ribombee stays unparalyzed.

The ribombee must have had the ability shield dust. If you don't know what that does, it negates the secondary effect of any attack used on it, such as flinching or paralysis.

That might be it, actually. I didn't take that into mind. Thanks for the info. I was just playing and noticed it and I was like "Hm... this is not right"
 
Another bug, at least on the mobile version (damn), if you try to use skill swap on your ally (i used tapu lele and the ally was arcanine) then the simulator understand, but after have choose the move of arcanine i had to wait and wait and wait until i saw that it wasnt my oppenent's but MY time that was running out. In fact every time i try to use skill swap on the ally time pass like and you have choose the moves but the simulator is still wait in them like you havent choose

Bug: Berserk does trigger for Drampa if after eating a Sitrus Berry he has above 50% health.

Expected: Drampa with Berserk holding Sitrus Berry is hit to 26-49% health. Drampa's Berserk triggers and he gains 1 stage of Sp Attack. Drampa then eats the berry and recovers 25% health. (Tested in game and confirmed it will eat Berry after getting the buff allowing it to gain 2 Berserk triggers. Works with both Sitrus and oran berry)

Actual: Drampa with Berserk holding Sitrus Berry is hit to 26-49% health. Drampa eats the berry and recovers 25% health. No Sp. Attack raise until hit below 50% again.

Example Battle:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7vgc2017-514936465

T3:
The opposing Tapu Fini used Dazzling Gleam!
It's super effective on Drampa! Drampa lost 62.0% of its health!
Drampa ate its Sitrus Berry!
Drampa restored HP using its Sitrus Berry!
Vikavolt lost 27.7% of its health!

T4:
The opposing Whimsicott used Energy Ball!
It's not very effective... Drampa lost 16.3% of its health!
[Drampa's Berserk!]
Drampa's Special Attack rose!

Drampa wants its double Berserks

You couldn't see the effect because of the rain, but Grassy Terrain was active because you switched Tapu Bulu in, which was healing Kartana for as much as Burn was doing. Remember, Burn was changed in Gen 7 to only inflict damage equal to 1/16 of the Pokémon's max HP instead of 1/8 like it used to.

Edit: wish I'd remembered to do this originally so it'd send an alert, rip

Are you sure this is a bug? To my knowledge, Core Enforcer and Gastro Acid don't actually remove the ability entirely, just nullify it. I'll try and test this in the morning if no one else has.
Burn used to be 1/16 in gen 1 too. Then it was changed to 1/8 from gen 2 moving forward for the remainder until gen 7. So from gen 2 to gen 6, it's basically been all the same.
 
I just had my Golisopod's Emergency Exit work from Toxic damage before the Sitrus Berry (berry was still used) and force a switch anyway even though the Sitrus Berry put it above half health.

Lol, it won't let you battle if you didn't put moves on all of your Pokemon. Assault Vest was a new gen 6 item that came after the Eviolite in gen 5, which boosted both Def and SpD, but Assault Vest only increases your SpD and was first commonly seen on Goodra, where they can only use attacking moves. No status included.

Used Trick with my itemless Slowbro on Life Orb Breloom and it failed:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankou-515675267


Trick currently fails if the user isn't holding an item. I noticed this has been brought up before so I wasn't sure if this is a bug, but I did a little research and apparently it is.

https://veekun.com/dex/moves/trick <- "Works even if one of the Pokémon isn't holding anything."

http://pokemondb.net/move/trick <- "It does not require both Pokémon to be holding an item, in which case the item is simply given to the target or received from it."

http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/75679/can-you-trick-someone-with-trick <- They cite Smogon as their source, but that was back in Gen 4. Afaik Trick's mechanics haven't changed since then though.

To my knowledge, as of gen 7 you need to have an item to use trick. This was not the case in gen 6, so if those sources haven't updated since then that's probably why.

Orday Edit: This is actually a bug, according to Marty. Trick mechanics did not change in gen7.

This is just straight incorrect. Trick only fails if neither Pokemon are holding an item, or if one of the items is locked (such as vs Giratina-O). Trick was not changed in Gen 7. What people are describing is a bug.

Had a battle last night and my Arceus had Flynium Z and Judgment. It couldn't use a Z move despite the description of Multitype now saying "If holder is an Arceus, its type changes to match its plate or Z-crystal, and it doesn't have a move.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pokebankanythinggoes-515646431
According to the Battle Mechanics thread, Judgment does not change type when holding a Z-crystal, so it remains a Normal move. Hence you probably did not have any Flying moves to use your Z chrystal with.
