I don't know if anyone posted this, but in game I used dig on my pokemon, then the opposing pokemon used toxic and it hit me while I was underground. Pretty sure that wasnt a mechanic in gen 6 but idk because i didnt play it lol

Does anyone know if the Moves Magic Room/Embargo block the use of Z-moves due to blocking the use of items?
Aegislash used King's Shield!
Aegislash protected itself!
The opposing Pyukumuku used Counter!
Aegislash protected itself!
The opposing Pyukumuku's Attack fell harshly!
Is this a legit in-game interaction? I know the King's shield drop now applies even to moves you're immune to, but Counter shouldn't have triggered in the first place because I didn't attack that turn.

Do Rough Skin, Iron Barbs, and Innards Out users now lose in a double-KO situation?
If Mew holds Mewnium Z, and Transforms into a Pokémon with Psychic, can it still use Genesis Supernova?
Several Abilities are locked, although the list of Ability-changing effects listed seems to be different for each one, and some Abilities aren't listed, although perhaps they should. Can we clarify that:

I'm curious about a very niche case: Sunsteel Strike, Moongeist Beam, and Core Enforcer vs Shield Dust. Specifically, Shield Dust ignores the secondary effects of moves, but the secondary effects of the given moves ignore abilities. Which takes precedence? This would matter in situations where like... Sogaleo somehow ends up with Poison Touch against a Shield Dust user, or perhaps in some OMs like Balanced Hackmons or STABmons.
If it constitutes a forme change (with the exception of Cherrim for some bizarre reason) the entire list can't touch it by default. Gamefreak seems to be protecting all of the other forme changes from being interrupted. That'd be all of those abilities except Comatose.
I haven't personally tested Alc/Receiver with Comatose (it's certainly blocked though), but I can confirm the rest of the list is correct.
Mold Breaker itself ignores Shield Dust, and I haven't seen anything to imply that these moves function differently than Mold Breaker.
Edit: Decided to check anyways. Your specific example, Poison Touch + Sunsteel Strike, was able to Poison a Shield Dust Pokemon. That probably confirms that these moves are totally identical to Mold Breaker in functionality.
Does Cloud Nine/Air Lock prevent Aurora Veil from working while Hail is active? I believe Solar Beam requires two turns when Sun is active if a Pokémon with one of the aforementioned abilities is out so logically Aurora Veil would fail under the equivalent conditions.
Related question, does Weather Ball change type when a Pokémon with Cloud Nine/Air Lock is in play?

Normally I check that before I ask a question. Whoops.
It's definitely coded in in 6, simply never released. I believe its coded into 7 as well, although I'm not certain on the latter and have no idea if it's released. Either way, some part of this is wrong.
Flying gem is not available in the game, but it exists in the game data similar to 6 gen. Only normal gem is available. I'm not sure if you can use it on PS, but its not possible to get on cartridge through legit means.
That was initially discovered here actually. Yes, it does work with Gluttony.
Does Pursuit get both its switching boost and the boost from Stakeout when used against a Pokémon that is being switched out?
Completely arbitrary question on my part, but can someone spend some time testing if Hail appears to raise the chance for Ice types to freeze opponents when using freeze-possible moves?
I'll be gathering data to first see if the chance increases between hail/no-hail with Ice types. If there does appear to be a difference I'll check non-Ice types vs Ice types in hail.

Huh, I only ask because the sim's code only fully protected Multitype and Stance Change in Gen 6, with other forme changes still overwritable by Gastro Acid, Mummy, Simple Beam or Worry Seed.

Banned deucer.
Actually, no it doesn't work. I tested this out right here just after reading this.
