Name: encore + struggle

Result: when a move is encored, and then runs out of pp, the pokemon is still able to use the encored move.

I have the log on my computer, however i don't have access to it right now. My alakazam encored an absol's sucker punch, and then stalled out 8 pp. However, absol could still use sucker punch.

I believe this is actually another glitch related to faster encores.

Name: Faster Encore PP Glitch

Result: When a Pokemon faster than the opposing Pokemon Encores the last move it used (on a previous turn) and the opposing Pokemon selects another move, the move selected will lose PP instead of the Encored move.

How: Have a Pokemon select a move, then have a faster Pokemon use Encore on the next turn while the first Pokemon selects a different move.


and some other Encore related glitches:

Name: Faster Encore 0 PP Glitch

Result: When a Pokemon runs out of PP for the last move it used and then a faster Pokemon encores it on the next turn, the move will still be used despite it having 0 PP. This only works ONCE -- the Encore will immediately end, and if Encored again, the Pokemon will use the move it selected on the previous turn (even though it uses the move that it ran out of PP for) EVEN IF another move is selected instead.

Example:

Turn 16:
Hippowdon Encored into Earthquake runs out of Earthquake PP. The Encore ends (as it should).

Turn 17:
Jumpluff uses Encore while the Hippowdon controller selects Stealth Rock. Hippowdon uses Earthquake even though it has 0 PP. The Encore ends immediately since Earthquake is out of PP. Hippowdon loses one Stealth Rock PP.

Turn 18:
Jumpluff uses Encore again while the Hippowdon controller selects Slack Off. Hippowdon uses Stealth Rock even though Hippowdon has not actually used Stealth Rock yet. Hippowdon loses one Slack Off PP. Hippowdon is now Encored into Stealth Rock.

Rules: Evasion Clause, Freeze Clause, OHKO Clause, Sleep Clause, Soul Dew Clause, Species Clause, Strict Damage Clause, Timed Battle

DUH BEET IZ AWN: Wah wuz ah kiked?
Earthworm: because you insulted us backwards
kd24: oh hes speaking english
DUH BEET IZ AWN: Doesn't that mean it's a compliment?
kd24: in a weird sort of way
Earthworm: unfortunately i read it backwards so no
Encore prohibits the use of this move.
Earthworm: ok
Earthworm: that's all i wanted to test
kd24: k
kd24: glad to help
DUH BEET IZ AWN: So if I type an insult forwards and you read it backwards, would it be a compliment?
kd24: if you want to test anything else
kd24: just tell me
Earthworm: thanks kd
kd24: np
kd24: duh beet iz awn
kd24: use common sense
kd24: thats all i can tell you
Earthworm: no DUH BEET IZ AWN because i would read it forwards
DUH BEET IZ AWN: I use the sense I learned on my planet.
 
Name: SolarBeam Base Power Glitch
Result: SolarBeam hits at normal Base Power
How: Use SolarBeam in sandstorm. SolarBeam should have halved Base Power in sand, rain, and hail
 
Name: Pain Split + Life Orb
Result: Using Pain Split causes you to take Life Orb recoil.
How: Using Pain Split causes you to take Life Orb recoil! It shouldn't.
 
Name: Mold Breaker + Spikes
Result: A Pokémon with Levitate is hit by Spikes without Gravity being up
How: As the Levitate Pokémon switches in on an Earthquake from a Mold Breaker Pokémon, Spikes activates

I assume this is to do with Mold Breaker. This was reported in the Shoddy Battle forum, and many people suggested Gravity was in play, so I went and tested it myself.
 
Does anyone know if this applies to Volt Tackle's chance to paralyze as well?
Fairly certain it does apply, I just did three (forgot to save the log of one!) test battles against myself on Smogon's server:

Yea, there is roughly a 1/250000 chance of not getting a 10% paralysis with that many tries. You can be confident that it is not implemented.
 
I can tell you from a fact after looking at the source code that they only have the recoil implemented.
 
Name: Flash Fire + Protect
Result: On Shoddy Battle, Flash Fire activates when a Fire-type move is used against a Flash Fire Pokemon, even when the Flash Fire Pokemon uses Protect. In-game, it does not activate Flash Fire if Protect is used.
How: Use Protect on Heatran as an opponent uses Flamethrower. In SB, it will activate Flash Fire, whereas on the cartridge games it will not.

Name: U-turn + Wonder Guard
Result: Using U-turn on a Wonder Guard Pokemon does no damage, but lets you switch out as if U-turn had hit. In the cartridge games, it does not allow you to make this switch.
How: Use U-turn against Shedinja on SB and it will let you switch when it shouldn't.

Result: The user fails after the first attack.
How: If the person uses Assist a second time while holding a Choice Item, it fails. In the cartridge, it lets you use Assist regularly (i.e. more than once)

Name: Water Absorb + Protect
Result: On Shoddy Battle, Water Absorb activates when a Water-type move is used against a Water Absorb Pokemon, even when the Water Absorb Pokemon uses Protect. In-game, it does not activate Water Absorb if Protect is used. (I assume, since Rising Dusk said Flash Fire doesn't activate under these conditions but someone might want to double check).
How: Use Protect on Vaporeon as an opponent uses Surf. In SB, it will activate Water Absorb whereas on the cartridge games it will not.

I feel really uncomfortable having something listed as a glitch based on assumptions of gameplay mechanics.

Name: MagmaStorm keeps damaging after heatran faints
Result:
Code:
[11:43:59] <Hipmonlee> Togekiss used Air Slash.
[11:43:59] <Hipmonlee> It's not very effective...
[11:43:59] <Hipmonlee> Heatran lost 24% of its health.
[11:43:59] <Hipmonlee> QuantumKid_test's Heatran fainted.
[11:43:59] <Hipmonlee> The sandstorm rages.
[11:43:59] <Hipmonlee> Togekiss is buffetted by the sandstorm!
[11:43:59] <Hipmonlee> Togekiss lost 6% of its health.
[11:43:59] <Hipmonlee> Togekiss's leftovers restored its health a little!
[11:43:59] <Hipmonlee> Togekiss restored 6% of its health.
[11:43:59] <Hipmonlee> Togekiss is hurt by Magma Storm!
[11:43:59] <Hipmonlee> Togekiss lost 6% of its health
How: Use magmastorm then die. So like, hit starmie with magmastorm, then let it kill you rather than switching and you get a bonus 6% damage!

Thanks to firecape who tested this for me on the cart!

Have a nice day.

World Defender
Name: Roar and Sleep
Result: On Shoddy, if 2 Pokemons use Roar and it switches in an asleep Pokemon, the asleep Pokemon will use a sleep turn. Example:

Roarer1 used Roar. (same turn Roarer2, the slower of the 2 Roarers used Roar.)
Alt switched in Asleep Pokemon.
Pointed stones dug into Asleep Pokemon.
Asleep Pokemonlost 6% of its health.
Asleep Pokemon is fast asleep!

How: Make 2 Roarers use Roar, if the slower Roarer got switched out for an Asleep Pokemon, the glitch triggers.

Im not sure if it happens the same with Whirlwind, and although this looks like a glitch, im not sure if it works this way in the cartridge so if anyone could test it it would be very appreciated (no cartridge over here).

I'm not sure that this counts as a glitch as such, but I have noticed that Protect does not appear to work as often as it should when used repeatedly.

I carried out some research, attempting to use Protect twice in a row 100 times. These were in battles conducted against myself to ensure that no other protect gltiches could interfere. The result was that it worked 27 times out of 100. The chance of this happening with the mechanics being correct (the chance of less than 28 successes would be 2.35E-06) is so low that I do not feel the need to carry out any more tests, but of course any more data would be helpful.

Name: Multiple Protects
Result: When using Protect twice in a row, the chance of success is considerably lower than the expected 50%.
How: Use Protect again after it is successful.

Confirmed this in source code. Protect as written is more likely to fail after two turns of consecutive use, when it should stay at a 50% chanice.

Though this may be true, note that my test was referring to the second use of protect failing, not the third. I have no idea why this would be, but you may notice that my results are highly statistically significant.

So basically, we might be looking at two glitches here; one problem is that adv. mechanics are being used, and the other that it still seems that protect fails more often than it should at the second attempt.

Edit - another glitch popped up in the shoddy battle forum. It basically falls into the category of the turn where Pursuit is used on a switching pokemon not counting. I am not sure of the in-game mechanics though so I need to check up on that:

Name: Truant + Pursuit
Result: When Pursuit is used by a pokemon with Truant on a switching Pokemon, Truant is ignored. This turn is ignored within the context of the truant cycle. For example, if the truant pokemon was meant to loaf around on the turn that it used Pursuit, it will do so the following turn
How: Use Pursuit with a Slaking as the opponent switches.

I actually spoke with Jackal about this yesterday. This thread will likely be made public soon... but none of the "glitches" listed seem to us to have risen to the level of requiring banning from tournaments. So, I suppose the answer to your question about updating that post is, "it is updated" since there are no changes that should be made.

Is it going to be against the rules to intentionally exploit any glitches, or are people going to just be allowed to do that even knowingly / repeatedly? I'd hate to see UU tournaments won be people abusing multi-hit moves.
