Hi ! I found a difference between Pokémon Showdown and the real game with a particular set of Magearna.
First : this is my Magearna. I started to use it for the french UTA metagame created a few years ago on 7th gen. It was fun to play and efficient, especially on Showdown.
Ladypoupée (S) (Magearna) @ White Herb
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Aura Sphere
- Fleur Cannon
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
This Magearna uses the white herb for spamming Fleur Cannon multiple times. I loved this set, it was really powerful in UTA for sweeping, so, I generated this team on my 3DS, and I found something strange !
Here's a replay, where we see Magearna in action : https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8anythinggoes-1229106090
As you can see, when Magearna is killing a Pokémon with Fleur Cannon, things happens that way :
-First, Fleur Cannon put the opposing Pokemon's life to 0.
-Just after it, Magearna gets Fleur Cannon's debuff.
-The white herb puts Magearna's stats back to normal.
-The opposing Pokémon is declared K.O. and Magearna's ability is triggered.
At the end of the turn, Magearna's Spe Attack is buffed to 1.5x.
But in the real game, things doesn't happen in the same order :
-First, Fleur Cannon put the opposing Pokémon's life to 0.
-Juste after it, Magearna gets Fleur Cannon's debuff.
-But here's the difference : now, the opposing Pokémon is declared K.O. and Magearna's ability is triggered.
-And only now, the white herb puts Magearna's stats back to normal.
So at the end of the turn, Magearna doen't have any buff at all, it is true in 7G and in 8G ! I tested both !
I hope you can fix this !
BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - MECHANICS (SERVER), this should also happen with Moxie / Neigh abilities / Beast Boost. It goes stat drops -> target faints -> Soul-Heart etc. -> White Herb (DaWoblefet)
