Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

I may have found a bug (I forgot to click the replay, so it'll have to wait / screenshot).

Bug: During my OU match, while having Misty Terrain up via Tapu Fini's ability, my opponent's Mew was able to land Will-o-Wisp on my Pokemon. My opposing team did not have any Pokemon that has Mold Breaker or anything that negates Misty Terrain (unless there is one?)

I'll update this as soon as the replay is up.

The terrains' effects only affect grounded Pokémon. If yours had an Air Balloon, Levitate or was a Flying-Type, then the Terrain would not protect it from getting statused.
 
Trying to validate or go to a match with Crobat which has no item(blank item slot) results in: "- Crobat's item is banned by [Gen 7] (-tier)." This happanes for all tiers/metas I've tried. Screenshot (not mine)https://gyazo.com/ef3a83f9848fbaa059777ce0a9308ee9
I've successfully replicated this on multiple machines


"- Your team crashed the team validator. We've been automatically notified and will fix this crash, but you should use a different team for now." This error message came out when I tried to validate the crobat for like the 10th time.

Update: This might be a feature but trying to validate any pokemon(Without an item) (I've tested now Crobat, Golbat and Excadrill) results in this message.

The mon has to be the only one in the teambuilder otherwise it will allow it.

It's fixed now

I'd like to report a bug in regards to the move Magic Room.

Effects of Magic Room: Magic Room suppresses the effect of all items held by the Pokémon on the field. This effect lasts for five turns. Similar to Trick Room and Wonder Room, using Magic Room while it is already in effect will end it immediately. - Bulbapedia

The problem is that when a choice-locked pokemon uses Magic Room, they then are able to use another move, however it will say that 'it has failed'; similar to trying to trick an item onto a pokemon holding a mega stone/z-move. It also doesn't consume PP(as in the move after Magic Room in this instance)

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-594941200
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-595001268
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-594941853

The first replay is a choice-scarfed Hoopa using Magic Room into Psyshock, which doesn't work. At first, I thought it was due to the fact that Hoopa-U and Hoopa-C learn Magic Room via an ORAS Move Tutor, so I decided to use choiced scarf klefki(which learns it via level-up) in the latter two replays. It still didn't work.

I've searched a decent amount on the internet to no avail; resources like bulbapedia and serebii do not give any indication or even slightly allude to the fact that Magic Room does not work in conjuction with a choiced user. Furthermore, there were 2 threads on PO I found which says the Magic Room into another move should work when a choiced user uses Magic Room initially.

http://pokemon-online.eu/threads/20421/
http://pokemon-online.eu/threads/35777/

While this isn't a major bug due to the lack of viability as well as usage of the move, it still is a mechanic that's wrong.

That's not a bug: see here and here.
 
I am here to report a bug on the commands in the showdown battle chat. Basically, I had a guy spam commands in a battle against me, and it was impossible for me to focus. I even tried using the "Ignore Opponent" feature, however, that only removes the physical text they input to type in the commands. So basically, they were able to just spam freely throughout the match. Bad news is I forgot to get a replay of the specific match I'm talking about, so I have no way of reporting the user that did this to me. However, below is a screenshot of what I am referring to. If you think it is fake, go ahead and test this yourself. I think this needs to be fixed so that if you ignore the opponent, you don't see their commands, or have there be some way that commands like !dt only show up for whoever typed them in. As I said, I know the proof I have here isn't much and can easily be pointed out as fake, but the best way to articulate my point would be for you to try this out with a friend or an alternate account in multiple browsers. It is something I could see a lot of people doing, and it makes it impossible for the opponent to focus on the battle, as they have trouble scrolling through chat to see damage rolls and moves. Anyways, I'd appreciate if this gets patched before it becomes a mainstream concern, and I hope I helped prevent a major issue before it got significantly bad.

Pending a fix / in case one is not possible, you can report such spam to a global staff member (all Help room @ are mods), who will stop it.

Topsy-turvy is not affected by serene grace. Please fix this.
Assuming you are saying that TT not being affected by SG is a bug, how would SG affect it? SG increases the chances of secondary effects, and TT always causes one (primary) effect 100% of the time (reversing stats).

If you mean that it incorrectly displays as SG-affected, I don't see the secondary flag when /dt-ing it.

Calc doesn't register Rock Blast as a bullet move.

bulletproof_1.PNG

the bullet moves from gengar are negated by bulletproof BUT
bulletprood_2.PNG

rock blast does damage, which should not be the case

not the most important thing in the world, but i suppose it might trip up newer players
 
There is a display error regarding Power Weight, Power Band, etc: they work properly in battle, but the display that comes up when I hover my mouse over my Pokémon doesn't take their speed reducing effect into account.
 
I know that this is a fairly niche problem and agree that it's probably not worth the effort to go through every case where this may occur, but I saw this conversation earlier and realized that there are a number of Pokemon that can't be used at levels they can be obtained in-game. Magmar, for example, can be obtained in SuMo as low as level 16 and in HGSS as low as level 14, but the team validator rejects any Magmar below level 30. Similarly, Metapod and Kakuna are rejected below level 7.. and a good deal of others. Again, I recognize that this is minor and there probably isn't a single player besides the one in the screenshot who this is relevant to, but I thought I would at least report it.

Edit: Seems this is already known and has been noted in the team validator code.

I balanced hackmons I used shadowforce on my giratina, next turn shedinja was switched onto spikes and stealth rocks and fainted, my shadowfoce failed, but still displayed my giratina as though it was still using shadowforce (translucent), the next turn, all my moves were open, I was free to switch, and was hit by a fake out. this made me think it was a graphical switch and shadowforce really had failed.
It was the tournament finals, so I am unable to upload a replay, but I have pasted the battle log below as well as some picture showing the glitch
Finding the screenshots, I found out that by hitting last turn to rewind to watch the footage displayed correct graphics

In a Metronome battle I had 1 of my Mews ran out of Metronome PP. Then it displayed all the other Mews to have 0 PP as well. It allowed me to use the move still, so I assume that is a visual bug. A move like Spite or Grudge were not used in the battle.

The battle I had expired so I was too late with saving the replay. I did, however, take screenshots of all 4 Mews missing their Metronome PP.



I might also add that the other Mews had not been sent out yet.

is the no priority thing not supposed to effect flying pokemon in psychic terrain? ive heard yes and i heard no so idk if this is a bug or not?
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7customgame-596608641
i made it custom cause i found this when i was playing monorands last night
It's not a bug, the terrains' effect only affect grounded Pokémon, so it doesn't affect (nor protect) Levitating/Flying/any other non-grounded Pokémon

Yes, any Pokemon that isn't touching the ground through the likes of Air Balloon, Levitate or being a flying type will not be immune to priority moves. I think it's easier to wrap your head around if you think of it like this: Priority users aren't stopped from using Priority moves, just because terrain's up, It's more like terrain grants Priority immunity to grounded Pokemon.
I don't have a battle video on me showcasing it rn, but you can read in the OP or second post of this thread that it's known as not being a bug.
 
Found a weird thing in a Shedinja Metronome battle where one of my Shedinja's got Fly, but for seemingly no reason, it failed.Not miss, but failed. After looking at the Bulbapedia pages for both Fly and Ingrain (the move one of the opposing Shedinja's used that turn), I found nothing that would cause this to happen.

According to Bulbapedia: "In Generation VII, if Metronome calls a multi-turn move such as Rollout or Dig, the move will activate on the first turn, but will fail and end the move on the next turn, with the exception of Geomancy."
