Does this only happen with electrify? I thought usually type immunities were checked before ability immunitiesRegarding Lightning Rod: ground-type bearers of the ability will draw in the move Electrify and receive the special attack boost, despite ground guys being immune to electric-type attacks.

Does it provide an immunity to powder if they obtain the grass type before being hit with the powder move? Or has that already been proven somewhere (and I just can't find it)?Ah.
Gaining Grass type does not provide an immunity to Powder on the same turn.
Tested with Vivillon, Trevenant, Torkoal, and a passive fourth mon:
Vivillon uses Powder on Torkoal
fourth mon does nothing
Trevenant uses Forest's Curse on Torkoal
Torkoal attempts to use Lava Plume, takes damage instead
Theoretically it would, although the only way to test this would be to Skill Swap Prankster onto a Trevenant and give Vivillon a Lagging Tail since Powder is a priority move.Does it provide an immunity to powder if they obtain the grass type before being hit with the powder move?

I know this is a really late reply, but since the item transfers before the attack, what happens if florges is holding a normal gem as well? Does it activate on the tackle on well? If so, how does that affect damage?More on the Florges family's abilities. Symbiosis immediately passes along the Symbiosis users item to the partner after their item is consumed. I tested this again with V4Victini. I had a Normal Gem Bulbasaur and a Chesto Berry Symbiosis Floette on my side of the field. Bulbasaur used Tackle and consumed his Normal Gem. Before the attack even happened, Floette passed along its Chesto Berry to Bulbasaur.
If you'd like to look at it yourself, you can find the battle video at G7WG-WWWW-WWWX-CQ4N
I'm quite certain that recycle only applies to items that the user had actually used up. As air balloon isn't consumed but instead destroyed, it wouldn't be able to be recycled right?Can Recycle...recycle Air Balloon now? Have Recycle mechanics changed at all?
Mold Breaker only ignores effects of abilities that negatively affect your moves, so if I recall, Mold Breaker won't stop these abilities from functioning. Say if it was a Mold Breaker Pokémon using Crunch, I assume it would still be powered by Dark Aura (as it increases damage output from all Pokemon on the field as opposed to negating or decreasing). Forgive me if I am at all incorrect.Does Mold Breaker suppress any of Fairy Aura, Dark Aura and Aura Break?
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-99235611If Sticky Web is on the opponent's field, and a Pokemon uses Gravity while the foe has out a flying-type or Levitator, do they fall to the ground and get the Speed-reduction, or just become grounded?
Mold Breaker ignores Light Metal even if the attacker uses Heavy Slam (when Light Metal would empower the attack).Mold Breaker only ignores effects of abilities that negatively affect your moves, so if I recall, Mold Breaker won't stop these abilities from functioning.

Yeah, I suppose I ought to have taken that into account. Apologies for my ignorance :/Mold Breaker ignores Light Metal even if the attacker uses Heavy Slam (when Light Metal would empower the attack).
Similarly, it could be said that the Auras weaken the attacks if Aura Break is in effect. That's why I am asking.
I don't think showdown is supposed to count as a source for verifying game mechanics.http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-99235611
I tested this out, and Pidgey's speed was not lowered upon becoming grounded, despite the presence of Sticky Web.
Yeah, you got me there. I should have been bothered to test it out in-game first , since Battle Mechanics are always in need of careful research on Showdown. My bad :oI don't think showdown is supposed to count as a source for verifying game mechanics.
I'll see if I can get a friend later so I can test this in-game.
Edit: while I'm doing this I guess I'll test the mold breaker thing as well.
It'll be a double battle with rampardos, yvetal, a zygarde for more testing and some random tanky pokemon I guess. Have neither yveltal or zygarde out and test damage, put yveltal out and test and then throw in zygarde and test.
Since Mold Breaker is supposed to nullify the effect of the defender's ability, I think it should be tested by making the Mold Breaker user attack Yveltal/Zygarde rather than Chansey, and compare the damage with a situation where the same attacker (or the defender) has lost the ability (via Entrainment, Skill Swap or whatever).Ok so I tested it with some pokemon we currently have on hand. My lvl 20 rampardos pursuit vs lvl 30 chansey. (Sorry about the horrible levels and damage amounts)
With yvetal out or in, it did around 28-29 damage average, but was capable of 30 damage if yvetal was present.
With zygarde and yvetal out, it did around 26 damage average it seemed, and got as low as 25.
Interesting thing we also discovered is it appears that aura break remains in effect for the turn even if zygarde is switched out.
We had one of our 25 damage times occur when zygarde was switched out that turn into yvetal.
Can anyone help confirm this as a trait of aura break?
