Knock Off did not effect whether my Gengar could Mega Evolve in a random battle. Here is the battle: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randombattle-129885072

You can't knock off mega stones.
Oh, alright. That's cool.
Sky Drop naturally does not do damage to Flying Type pokemon. However to act as a workaround for this I attempted to use Trick on a Flying Type to ground it.
However this did not work and Sky Drop ended up to be ineffective.
If Iron Ball causes a flying pokemon to be grounded, shouldn't Sky Drop be able to hit those pokemon?
Replay: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uu-130027196 (The problem in question starts on Turn 26 until 29)
I have already looked on veekun for information about how Iron Ball effects Sky Drop and vice versa; there is no information on it.
However, even though quoted as a unreliable source, Bulbapedia appears to have information on it.

I don't have any way to confirm this information on my own so I'll post this as a potential bug.

Sky Drop fails if the opponent is holding iron ball.
Knock Off still knocks off the opponents item even if it kills it, while this mechanic is absent in PS.
It's not huge, but its important for scouting items that might've not been revealed during the game. Seeing a Black Sludge or Scarf on a Gengar if it ends up switching into a Knock Off or something like that can make all the difference in guessing the rest of a team's composition.
EDIT: Fixed

They're making fun of the fact that Rotom-F has Levitate but is also a Flying-type.
A critical hit bolt strike from victini did less than a non-crit bolt strike. it also didn't display as SE. I cant figure out why it did less, so this is hopefully not just a case of me being a moron.

The opponent used Roost, which nullified its Flying-type, meaning Bolt Strike did neural damage for that turn.

Roost removes flying type, so bolt strike was not super effective at that moment.
I have encountered an issue using Ally Switch in VGC'14 double battles. It is not my first time using Ally Switch on Showdown (the move functioned fine earlier in the week), but in two battles today it has produced error reports. I have two replays, one (turns 8 and 9) and two (turn 6). It appears that though the simulator is performing the switch, it is encountering errors in switching over the sprites/names in the battle scene.
I have searched this thread for earlier bug reports regarding Ally Switch, and found that it could be related to an issue identified in this post from February.

The mechanic is correct.
It doesn't need to be changed because the description is correct - Sticky Web was not a direct attack from a Pokemon.
Someone asked me about what happened in this battle, and I honestly don't know. I'm not sure if it's a bug exactly or just that the description of what happens is wrong, but on turn 7 it says the Delphox exchanged a choice scarf for another choice scarf when the Xatu had no item. Also, the Xatu didn't obtain a scarf at all because it was still able to switch moves after being switcheroo'd.

Can I get another confirmation for my question a page back?
And possibly a bit more depth than:
And possibly a bit more depth than:
There's no other way to explain it. Iron Ball prevents Sky Drop from working.
Which would then mean that Sticky Web can drop your stats. Do you have reading comprehension? The description specifically states “Prevents other Pokemon from lowering this Pokemon's stat stages.”, Sticky Web is not a direct move/ability/whatever from a Pokémon, so it shouldn’t be prevented. The description is wrong.
The description is correct. It does prevent other Pokemon from lowering this Pokemon's stat stages. There is no space for additional information such as Sticky Web.
