Introduction
[00:25] <woodchuck> and if people are mad tell them to be angry at me
This thread is dedicated to reporting all kind of bugs in Pokemon Showdown.
Note that issues with sprites go in another thread.
Also, if you don't want to report a bug, but rather to ask a question use the SQSA threads about
Pokémon or about the
simulator.
This is
not the place to post if you're having trouble connecting or if you have a
feature request.
It is ALSO not the place to post about problems with the ladder.
Rules
Before reporting a bug,
- ...check the lists of Not Bugs and Known Bugs in the post below.
- ...look up the relevant moves/abilities/items on Veekun and the first post of the Smogon Research thread. Don't look on Serebii, Bulbapedia, or Smogon's own dex, they are too unreliable.
- ...if your problem involves incorrect damage, include your damage calculation. This is my damage calculator of choice, but there are plenty of others.
- ...make sure your opponent's pokemon isn't Zorua/Zoroark
- ...save a replay (the "Share" button, or alternately the "/savereplay" command), generate a screenshot or copy the FULL log of the battle to include in your post
- ...make sure no one has reported this bug on, say, the last page or two of the thread. No one expects you to go through the whole thread, but it's kind of ridiculous when three posts in a row report the same problem.
- ...make sure this bug exists on the official server, and with no custom styles enabled.
If you are posting a screenshot, PLEASE put HIDE tags around it. No one likes having their browser stretched by an enormous image.
