I only read this in the OP: "Destiny Bond has a chance to fail if used repeatedly." So you mean it would be 0 after the first use, and then 100,0,100,0 etc?

Didn't see mention of it in the OP so I finally got the chance to test this. The terrain seed items do trigger when a flying type holding it comes out when the corresponding terrain is up. So non-grounded Pokemon also can take advantage of these items.

Apparently when you activate Z-Weather Ball, the Z-move changes its type to match the currently active weather.
Do we know if it boosts the move's power as well? I would assume it does but could we test this?
Z-Moves do not inherit ANY power changes from their original move. Z-Weater Ball is 160 BP, regardless of type.
So I was having a discussion about Beartic earlier when I thought "what if Slush Rush doesn't grant immunity to Hail damage". When I implemented it I just assumed it did, since Sand Veil, Sand Rush, and Snow Cloak all grant immunity to their weathers if not already immune by typing. Turns out, I was wrong! Game Freak strikes again!
Nah, that would be truly embarrassing.
Embarassing but not impossible :P
By the way, IIRC there was a glitch with Z-Memento in that it did not heal the Pokemon that switched in when offline. Is that also fixed in v1.1?
UPDATE: Not competitively relevant, but an Oricorio used Mirror Move on my Sableye holding a Lucky Egg, and used Knock Off. It didn't remove the Lucky Egg.

In case it wasn't clear, "nah" meant I tested it and the answer was no.
Yeah, Z-Memento works fine now.
Wild Pokemon haven't been able to remove the player's held items with Knock Off since Gen 5.
So, to be clear, Slush Rush doesn't grant immunity to Hail?
Any confirmation on how Stakeout works? Every site has it worded differently.
- Does the boost last one turn, or indefinitely?
- How does it interact with enemies replacing fainted Pokemon?
- How does it interact with U-Turn / Baton Pass?
Pokemon Showdown: "This Pokemon's attacks deal double damage if the target switched in this turn."
Pokemon DB: "Stakeout enables the Pokémon to deal twice the normal damage to any Pokémon that switches in or enters the field mid-battle."
Actual in game text: "Doubles the damage dealt to the target’s replacement if the target switches out."

Does Queenly Majesty prevent the oponent to use protect, or other self directed priority moves ?
No, it only nullifies priority moves that would directly affect the Pokemon with Queenly Majesty and its allies.
Well, they all say the same thing in different ways (I wrote the PS description and the Pokemon DB one is actually from the official site). If the Pokemon became active during the current turn in any way (i.e. choosing to switch as your action for the turn, U-turn, Baton Pass, Roar, whatever), Stakeout will double the damage to that Pokemon. Switching in at the beginning of the battle happens before Turn 1 starts and replacing fainted Pokemon happens at the end of the current turn right before the next turn starts, so Stakeout has no interaction with those "switches". The effect only happens if they switched in that turn and not every turn after that or it would be kind of ridiculous.
So, essentially, if it's the first time you used it against that Pokemon while active, yes, and if not then no.
Nope!
The powder doesn't explode.

In other news, I went back to do more digging on this interesting stuff:
It was already known that Moltres after a Burn Up didn't become Normal type during Roost, since the "typeless" type is still its primary type. However, using Reflect Type on this ???/Flying Moltres makes the Pokemon pure Flying (becomes Normal type during Roost). So to sum up, Reflect Type with ??? + a secondary type just ignores ???, but ??? + added type from Forest's Curse/Trick-or-Treat makes ??? into Normal instead. And ??? alone just makes Reflect Type fail. Go figure.
What happens if you regular Belly Drum one turn, to get +6 and 50% health, then Z-Belly Drum the next turn? Do you get fully healed without halving your health again?
As long as your attack is still maxed, Belly Drum's normal effect will indeed fail, allowing you to keep the full heal.
My apologies if this isn't the right place to ask this: does the download ability take in account the special defence boost due to beeing a rock-type pokemon in a sandstorm?
