Problem with Sandstorm and Rain in Poke Lab

Well, i just have a battle a few minutes ago, i found out something really ridiculous.

Screen shots
1. Why do I get buffeted twice by sandstorm in only 1 turn?

...

2. Well, Tyranitar Pursuit Rotom and suddenly Rain appeared. Rain and Sandstorm at the same time.

...

Log: ( look at the bold one)

...

Those are correct mechanics. If you KO a switching Pokemon with Pursuit during a sandstorm in Platinum, Heart Gold, or Soul Silver, a multitude of weather effects occur at the same time. You can read about it here.

The Bulbapedia page's summary is bad, but indeed, these mechanics are not a bug.

If they were a bug, this would still be the wrong place to post them. Bug reports go on Trac.
