So I was battling earlier today with Torment Tran, and discovered something interesting;
Now, I'm not sure how it goes in-game, but this never happened to me and I'm pretty sure the "But there was no target!" turn is called "a turn" when factoring Protect's mechanics. So instead of having a 100% chance of Protect working next turn, I had a 50% chance, since apparently "I used Protect last turn", and this is not true.
Is this glitch known? Is this even a glitch?
