Hello! Realizing a weird mechanic happening with Rayquaza's Air Lock and the activation of protosynthesis abilities after Sun is up. If Rayquaza comes in on a sun setter, and then a protosynthesis pokemon enters the field, after Rayquaza leaves the field and sun goes back up, the protosynthesis ability does not activate.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ubers-1896067156-2g8bt37yhnn5fvs7kub8tsu58pgg4scpw

You can see this occurring here. Rayquaza KOs Koraidon, and then Flutter Mane comes in to revenge it. Rayquaza then leaves the field, and sun goes back up. However, Protosynthesis does not activate.

To confirm this is not a visual bug, we tested this with Scarf Chi-Yu, who generally outspeeds Flutter Mane outside of Sun, but underspeeds it in Sun after a Protosynthesis boost to Speed. The given EV spread on Flutter should allow for the speed boost, and yet it is outsped by the Scarf Chi-Yu.

Not sure if this is how it works in game, but just wanted to point it out regardless. This may also occur with Cloud Nine, but that has not been tested yet.

I did a bit of testing on my Switch and found that Protosynthesis should not deactivate if a Cloud Nine Pokemon switches in. However, on Showdown, this is what Protosynthesis does.

Test battle (on sim):
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ubers-1896099523-yskmve9v5d04ucswiy3omut7q4ilh4gpw

(The stats of the Pokémon in this test battle are identical to the stats of the Pokémon I tested with in-game.)


On the Switch, I used the Koraidon that you get at the start of the game, and it has 188 Speed, and a Golduck with Cloud Nine, with 152 Speed. I encountered a Scream Tail with 142 Speed as its highest stat, meaning Speed got Proto boosted. However, when I switched Golduck in and attacked, Protosynthesis was still active and Golduck was outsped. I also switched in Koraidon afterwards, and it was also outsped.

Pics and clips from Switch:

1. Koraidon's stats

2. Golduck's stats

3. Scream Tail's stats

4. Korai getting outsped turn 1 (it does on sim), Golduck getting outsped (it doesn't on sim), Golduck switching out into Koraidon and Koraidon getting outsped (it doesn't on sim)

Moral of the story: Protosynthesis is one of the weirdest behaving Abilities in the game.

Hi, I encountered a bug during my SSPL game today. Here is the replay: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen8lc-700045

After Turn 23, my opponent's Porygon came in for the first time this game, and traced my Porygon's Download. However, I saw Download trigger first, so I assumed it was Download, and must have skipped turn before seeing the Trace pop up. Also, when I hovered over it, I didn't see (base: Trace). Download Porygon runs a completely different set than Trace Porygon. That made me not go Sandygast, which otherwise walls Trace Porygon and going to it could have changed the outcome of the game. Here's what I saw, and what the chat logs were (didn't see the chat because I skipped turn):

After the game, my opponent and I tested out the interaction, and here is the replay: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8lc-1894967169-4dqbvxee8vv8n55y5sgb2de22t7renbpw

Apparently, if the first time Trace Porygon comes in, it traces an ability it already has (Download) that also happens to trigger on switch-in, the game will think that Download is its base ability. Also, the traced Download triggers before the Trace itself triggers, which might be the cause of the wrong displayed base ability. Furthermore, after this happened, when the Porygon came back in and traced another ability, it said "(base: Dowload)" instead of "(base: Trace)", even though it traced something else. Therefore, this seems clearly like a bug, and it's a bug that can sometimes impact the outcome of games.

expanding on this, i was just playing a gen5lc game and the same thing happened to me, but with forewarn:

i think this confirms this visual glitch doesnt affect only abilities that pory already could have, but all abilities that activate when it switches in

Very sorry, can't seem to find a copy of the replay, and this won't let me share HTML (I hit download instead of save and upload) but in random roulette which went into Gen 1, stat boosts don't seem to work properly, at least not visually, and stat drops seem to display the opposite (didn't think to save a replay or a picture, but figured I'd point it out all the same). For the record I'm using the mobile version so that could definitely play a role

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED There is already a fix for it in the works. Thanks!

I really want to know why my hurricane failed, thanks!
Also: Im posting this in glitches because i went to help and 1v1 and no one could answer my question :p so thanks in advance!

I'm assuming you're choiced... Dancer actually locks you into the move you copy, so any other moves you use will fail. (If it's a move you don't know, the lock will go away at the end of the turn.)

if you had a Choice item (I'm assuming Choice Specs), then Fiery Dance counts as the move you locked into, so Hurricane will fail as you are already locked into the Fiery Dance used via Dancer.

Saw this in Pokeaim's new UU video. While Battle Bond Greninja is its own form, it is visibly the exact same as Torrent/Protean Greninja and shouldn't be revealed until Battle Bond activates.

Visual Bug in RBY. Low Kick in battle displays the wrong gen text for Gen I, displaying the weight factor in its BP. Weirdly the accuracy matches gen I. After testing and looking at the damage calculator, it appears to be a simple visual bug and not a major mechanic error. Screenshots here:

Hi, I forgot to save the replay but I had a weird interaction with dancer:
I had a gardevoir against a psychic type oricorio, I traced dancer but when the oricorio used quiver dance, I didn't copy it. I read the ability description on bulbapedia and from what I understand, it should have been copied. The copied quiver dance (if it had happened) however shouldn't have been.
Thanks in advance !

Galarian Farfetch'd weighs 15 kg in Showdown, but it weighs 42 kg in the actual games.
I pulled the real weight screenshot from Bulbapedia. Serebii and Pokemondb also use 42 kg.

BUG STATUS: FIXED

Was your Gardevoir scarfed? (Or specs against a slow Oricorio?) If you had already locked yourself into a move, you can't copy moves with Dancer unless you're copying the move you're already locked into.

Zoroark, when disguised as greninja-bond has a different sprite than greninja-bond regularly has, making it possible to tell them apart.

If I Trick an Ability Shield onto Regigigas in the presence of Neutralizing Gas, shouldn't Slow Start reactivate? It works on other abilities, like Truant, and Prankster. Also, removing Weezing causes Slow start to reactivate. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9doublescustomgame-1901204582

In this game Zamazenta-C's Dauntless Shield activates twice because it gets Skill Swapped at some point. Apparently that's not how it's supposed to work.

There's a bug in SV that doesn't have parity on Showdown; falling below 50% HP due to Confusion damage doesn't activate the Sitrus Berry in-game, but does on Showdown. This might not seem terribly relevant, but I nearly lost a match because of it on-cart

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - Mechanics (Client)
yeah this has been known for some time and a fix has been in the works

 

[JeanMerguz]

It was random battle but I believe Gardevoir was scarfed indeed and moved before the quiver dance. Thank you for your answer !

Hello minor bug report again, this time for Gen 5. I'm not sure who is ever going to use Seperior or Girafarig often in their tiers, but it seems that their egg moves have bypassed their filters (since only XY and afterwards could they pass both egg moves together)

Both Girafairg and Serperior only have their egg moves as shown:

Bug: Simple not working in Gen 4; found while playing random roulette

As seen in the replay I used curse and it only affected my stats once instead of double

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randomroulette-1904602384-kbr1e6gl1lu2xrpmcasyczq3wbdsmiepw

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, In Gen 4, Simple doubled the effectiveness of stat boosts, but visually the boosts would increase by their normal rate. If you were to have used an attack with the Bibarel after using Curse it would have had a +2 attack boost applied during damage calculation (Karthik)

Through Go > Home > SV transfers, Donphan should be obtainable at level 1 in Gen 9 formats. Currently on PS, Donphan is not usable in SV formats under level 25.

Old PR thread regarding the issue before Go > Home > Game transfers were possible: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threa...minimum-legal-levels-in-national-dex.3673187/

e: this might actually apply to all Pokemon with a level minimum now due to Go > Home > SV Transfers, I will do some more checking and edit again if that's the case.

The regulation D ladder is not allowing the use of fake out alolan raichu because "a fake out pichu/pikachu cannot be transfered to USUM to evolve", but new picnic and egg move mechanics allow alolan raichu to learn fake out in SV

 

[LuciShrimp]

(Gen 1) When using Wrap on an opposing mon while they are in the Hyper Beam recharge turn, the "Must Recharge" indicator disappears despite the recharge turn being stored until the recharging mon gets to act again. This is purely visual, but it did catch me off-guard.

Hello, to further support his claim, I had a friend who recently caught a low level Donphan himself personally

This is all the images he provided, I will ask him again if any more evidence needs to be provided

As for now, here is the possible list of Pokemon that can be "level 1" (excluding legendaries as the minimum level cap is level 5, through either raids or a Go Battle League on a low level account)
https://serebii.net/pokemongo/gen1pokemon.shtml

EDIT: Certain regular pokemon that can evolve into a regional form (e.g. Alolan Raichu, Hisui-Braviary, Alolan Golem) cannot be obtained at Level 1 as they have never been released outside of raids. Some forms bypass this exception (Alolan Ninetales, Alolan Raticate, Alolan Grimer, Galatians Farfetch'd, Galarian Zigzagoon), which means only regional pre-evolutions can be obtained at level 1 and evolving them in Pokemon Go
