It's not a bug. Weight-based moves like Heavy Slam and Low Kick are supposed to fail against Dynamaxed targets.Steelix fails to use heavy slam on gigantamax grimmsnarl for whatever reason, it has happened to me twice in GEN 8 1v1 Ladder battles. Here is one example in the form of a replay: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen81v1-1016225413
ah okay, thank you for the clarification. it was confusing a lot of people including myselfIt's not a bug. Weight-based moves like Heavy Slam and Low Kick are supposed to fail against Dynamaxed targets.
The 49.1% is just the standard damage from the Gyro Ball hit, just a bit unclear at the moment. The weird thing is Gulp Missile's shot triggering the Iron Barbs. For me, it activated Rowap when a special move was used, so seems like it could be treating the category as whatever activated Gulp Missile.https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8ou-1016223363
Turn 9
Cramorant used Hurricane!
A critical hit!
(The opposing Ferrothorn lost 56% of its health!)
The opposing Ferrothorn used Gyro Ball!
It's not very effective...
(The opposing Ferrothorn lost 19% of its health!)
[The opposing Ferrothorn's Iron Barbs]
Cramorant was hurt!
(Cramorant lost 49.1% of its health!)
The opposing Ferrothorn fainted!
☆sandrushexcadrill: GULP{
Rungey sent out Rotom (Rotom-Wash)!
My cramorant used hurricane a special move on ferrothorn and took 49% of recoil?
This made me cry on the inside.From your statement afterwards, I'm assuming you tried to use Snipe Shot on a Storm Drain Gastrodron and had it activate Storm Drain. Note that the "ignores abilities that draw in moves" is referring to the redirectional effect of Storm Drain in doubles, not the actual absorption of Water-type moves. This means it functionally doesn't do anything in singles.
Thats what happens in the games. The intimidate happening beforehand is a bug, thoughUnintended behavior in the interaction between Intimidate and Neutralizing Gas
Check turn 7 of this battle. When the Weezing dies, both the Mawile and Hitmontop gets to intimidate again without having to rejoin the battle. Idk if this is supposed to happen or not, but even it so, it definitely shouldn't happen twice. Both Mawile and Hitmontop did 2 intimidates when Weezing died and they got their ability back.

Yh that makes more sense. In any case the way the info if given should be reworded.The 49.1% is just the standard damage from the Gyro Ball hit, just a bit unclear at the moment. The weird thing is Gulp Missile's shot triggering the Iron Barbs. For me, it activated Rowap when a special move was used, so seems like it could be treating the category as whatever activated Gulp Missile.
