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

In Triple Battles on cartridge (tested in OR online, and in Y offline in the Battle Maison and the Mock Battle feature of VS Recorder), Shadow Tag only traps adjacent opponents, and not the entire field. Meaning that if used in the left-side position or the right-side position, it only traps the enemy's center position and the Pokémon facing the Shadow Tag user - not the diagonally opposite Pokémon in the corner. Magnet Pull also works the same - I haven't tested Arena Trap, but I would assume it to be similar.
Battle video demonstrating this: PY4W-WWWW-WWWXB-9CGB
On Showdown, Shadow Tag incorrectly traps the entire enemy field and not just adjacent Pokémon in Triples.

PS doesn't do that... http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogontriples-210143003
Strange - I was testing this in "Triples Custom Game", and I was unable to switch out any of the Pokémon on the field. Pretty sure I double-checked, too.
Trying it again, now it seems to work. Maybe I hallucinated it, what the hell.
Upon testing it more just to be sure, the battle stalled in some way: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/triplescustomgame-210152736
Then I tested it again, and kept getting similar stalls, which look like:
I'm only getting more confused by the minute.
I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but the icons for Megas and Primals in team preview are blank and it is really annoying.
Also not sure if this is a glitch or I am just misunderstanding mechanics, but in a double switch when you bring in an Intimidate user sometimes the attack drop applies to the mon that is being switched out by the opponent and not to the mon that is being sent in against your Intimidate user.

The first part is because those sprites were lost in the hard drive crash in November and weren't restored yet so hopefully that'll get fixed soon. I believe the second part is because the switching order depends on speed. If you have higher speed than your opponent then your Pokemon's Intimidate will hit the Pokemon that's switching out.
Alright thats what I figured, thanks for confirming.
The combination of Whirlpool + Defog on Latias is allowed on PS. This is impossible in the games because to get those moves you must transfer from Gen 4; and due to how transfer of HMs work and that Whirlpool is only available in HGSS while Defog is only available in DPPt, the combination of Whirlpool + Defog from Gen 4 transfer is impossible.
Likewise, the combination of Leaf Blade + Sucker Punch on Shiftry is impossible. This is because it can only have Leaf Blade through Nuzleaf learning it through level up from ORAS onwards; however, it can only get Sucker Punch as a Shiftry through Gen 4 Tutor. Hence, if you teach Sucker Punch to Shiftry in Gen 4, even when transferred to ORAS it cannot learn Leaf Blade.

I fixed that ages ago.
This is more difficult to fix, without hardcoding it...
In Anything Goes a few users and I encountered an odd bug:

while spending an hour and a half trying to recreate the timer bug with James Jimmy, I found this:
The only protecting move with a 33% success rate after the first turn use is Spikey Shield, everything else is 50% besides wide and quick guard.

Hi everybody, I have encountered a problem.
I used entrainment with my truant durant on a foe butterfree. Then, with the eject button, whimsicott came in. I set up a substitute during the free turn. The turn after the foe's Butterfree used bug buzz and bypassed my substitute, without any logical explanation. Is this a bug or am I committing a mistake? Thanks in advance.
PS I link you the battle log under this as I don't know how to do the spoiler.

Bug Buzz is a sound move; in this gen, sound moves bypass substitutes.
Also, [/hide] [/hide] is the tag you use. Without the first slash.
Thanks really much! I'm not really keen on 6th generation mechanics!
This is just a visual bug that occurs while skipping through turns. If you watch the replay without skipping, you'll see that it doesn't happen.
Protect, Detect, Endure, and Wide/Quick Guard all changed from 1/2 to 1/3 this gen
Could you please find where this is stated, I know they arent the most reliable sources ever, but serebii, bulbapedia, and the pokemon database all support that only spiky shield has 33% success rate after the first turn, comsecutive turn of use. (Bulbapedia says 30% on Spiky Shield but lol, its bulbapedia).

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Spiky_Shield_(move)
http://pokemondb.net/move/protect
The pokemon database also says Spiky Shield drops to 50% contrary to everywhere else, but i do believe that Spiky Shield is the only one that drops to 33%.

No matter how many sites claim something wrong, that doesn't make it right.

Fixed. I also fixed a lot of other stuff.
If you have 2 or more of the same pokemon with different abillities and one of them is sent out, sometimes it shows the abillity to be of the pokemon who isn't sent out
I had two mega rayquazas, one with Gale Wings and one with Contrary, and the one with Contrary was sent out and it showed its abillity as Gale Wings

In this battle, Zoroark appears as a Mantine and then has its Illusion broken. However, after switching out, the Zoroark then reappears as Heatmor throughout the rest of the battle. Is this supposed to happen?

Belue Berry's type in Natural Gift is NVE against Water, whatever it is at the moment. This is incorrect. It should be Electric.
EDIT: Further testing tells me it's Ice. The implementation on Ganlon, which has the same BP and type, is correct.
