nowhere in the VGC rule is stated that you cant use volcanion http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/the-2016-video-game-championship-format-has-been-announced/

Volcanion is dex number 721, and since legal pokemon are dex numbers 001-720 (with specific exceptions given later in the document, such as jirachi and keldeo), I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's not allowed unless they specifically update the rules to go up to 721. The page you linked was merely an announcement of the rules with a general overview and it states "The complete rules will be posted shortly on the Play! Pokémon rules and regulations page," implying there's more to the rules than just what's on the announcement page. In fact, if you go here and click on "Play! Pokemon VG Rules and Formats" it will download the official complete pdf file of the rules for you to read as much as you'd like.
 
I encountered what seems to be a bug in terms of priority on Bullet Punch. I don't use the move terribly often (random battles is usually where I'm at) but here's the battle I just had. On Turn 5, my opponent's Illumise got their Thunder Wave off on my Machamp before my Machamp's Bullet Punch.

This is my first battle in a while and I won't be around to test to see if Bullet Punch is having priority issues because of work, but I figured I should report this incident if nothing else.

when i click on his name, i can only see him in one game(vgc one) and same for /user and /whois, but when i do /userauth it shows me many other games which he's long left. idk if it's a bug or those battle rooms are still active which is why i see them, but could this be looked into? thanks!
 
As of a recent commit, userauth now shows all battles in which a user has auth. Since battles take a certain amount of time to expire, battles which the player has left and have not expired are showing up as userauth. Since the user is not currently in those rooms, it does not show on their user card.
 
Not sure if this is a bug or an error, but PS allows Surf + Lightning Rod on Raichu even though there is no Pikachu event that allows this combination.
 
Sorry if this has already been covered, but Event moves that are actually incompatible with moves only learned by pre-evolved forms of the event Pokemon are allowed to be used on PS!

Examples:
  • PS! allows Pikachu and Raichu with Surf and Nasty Plot. However Pikachu and Raichu can't have both Surf and Nasty Plot at the same time, because Pikachu can only learn Surf from gen 6 events as a Pikachu, not as a Pichu (it can learn surf as a Pichu in gen 3, but those can't be transferred, unless they forget Surf) and the only way for Pikachu to learn Nasty Plot, is through level up as Pichu exclusively.

  • (in VGC2016) PS! allows Linoone with Extremespeed and Pin Missile. However Linoone can't have both Extremespeed and Pin Missile at the same time, because the only Extremespeed Linoone that can be used in VGC 2016 was released as a Linoone, thus it can't have Zigzagoon's level up moves, which includes Pin Missile, and Extremespeed.

Hi!

I had a problem with Rayquaza's Air Lock Ability. It works totally fine if I'd use Surf on a Groudon as example, but not on "impostered" Pokemon that have these weather changing abilities (Thunder during Heavy Rain).

Works on Turn 1 but not on Turn 14: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-ubers-362795107

First off: I suggest that you edit the link to be "http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ubers-362795107", you're linking directly to the battle, which doesn't exist any more. Secondly: That was actually just Air Lock working just fine. Rain makes Thunder 100% accurate, but Air Lock removes weather effects, meaning that Thunder has 70% accuracy.
 
In teambuilder, if you type an item into the ability slot, it turns all your slots into ability slots, as shown here:

I had a problem when making my gen 3 ou team. It had a Crawdaunt in it, and it was rejected because two of its moves, Endevour and Ancient Power, were egg moves and did not have a valid father. However, it also said it may be a bug. Any opinions on what happened? Thanks.

In gen 3, only males could pass egg moves, which means that a female Crawdaunt would have to breed with a male that knew both Ancient Power and Endeavor. And no Pokemon in the Water 1 or Water 3 Egg groups could know Endeavor and Ancientpower at the same time.
