What type of bug are you reporting? OM What is the bug? In Gen 9 The Loser's Game, in a 1v1 scenario where a Steel Beam user knocks out both itself and the opponent at once, the Steel Beam user should win (in a reversal of who wins in the same situation in OU), but the opponent wins instead...

Some feedback regarding pressing issues about WIPs: We'll need to define "high-BP" quickly. If we set it to 85 BP, we notably end up with entire types sneaking through if they have the correct physical/special bias. For example, if "high-BP" is set to 85 BP and therefore all 80-BP STAB moves...
