The code responsible for this interaction hasn’t changed in at least 4 years, and gen 5’s max crit rate has always been 50%.

More bug fixes: Acrobatics is now guaranteed to always get either Booster Energy or no item Tornadus-Therian now always has Regenerator (oops!) Slowking now actually gets Chilly Reception instead of “Chilling Reception”

Ideally the client could recognize that this is a CFZ and would know not to add the required base move to the tooltip. It is already possible for it to tell because of the lack of a z-power message. I wouldn’t bet on it getting fixed any time soon, though.

Initial bug fixes: Enforce Leech Seed with Spiky Shield, not just Protect Fix Scald/Hydro Pump incompatibility Make Trick Room and Future Sight incompatible, enforcing Revival Blessing on Rabsca Fix paired move enforcement so it always applies to Leech Seed, Wish, and Ice Beam/Thunderbolt Don't...

Yeah this was my mistake. The Wallbreaker role isn’t supposed to have forced Protect but I forgot to exclude it so Tera Fighting Wallbreaker Chien-Pao ended up with 5 forced moves due to having dual stabs, tera stab, priority stab, and Protect. This should be fixed soon...

Listen, I fully agree with you. Indeedee-F should get Expanding Force; it’s stupid that it doesn’t. However,

Was its ally a Florges? Sounds like it could have been because of Flower Veil.

Has sub seed Ogerpon Hearthflame been suggested? I know it’s pretty unorthodox, but it has many of the makings of a good subseeder. It’s fast (or, well, faster than Scovillain anyway), and it has a strong STAB that’s SE against grass types, access to Encore, and even one of the buffed Protect...

Ah, I see. That is Illusion Ogerpon. Naturally imposterproof, can hold the moderately viable mask items that give 1.2x BP to all moves, and thanks to Illusion specifically, it can Terastallize to any type instead of the four specific types it’s usually locked to. The first clue is that...

Those damage rolls don’t prove it was 160 BP. 216+ Atk Rillaboom Max Overgrowth (140 BP) vs. +1 252 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Dusclops in Grassy Terrain: 84-99 (29.5 - 34.8%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery -2 216+ Atk Rillaboom Max Overgrowth (140 BP) vs. +1 252 HP / 252+ Def...

I think the number one problem in the format is Pecharunt. Banning Tera Ghost only makes Pecharunt stronger, and banning Tera altogether probably still does that too. Banning the ghost type entirely is going way too far, though. Ghost types were fine until Pecharunt came along because they...

If an Electric/Flying type has Tera Shell while Delta Stream is active, which effect takes precedence if that Pokémon takes an Electric type attack?

It’s true that there’s no technical or even mathematical support for ranked FFA, but those are theoretically fixable problems. What really makes ranked FFA an impossibility is the moderation concerns. I have been told by an admin that “rated FFA would be hell on earth and we would never ever...

In gen 9, when multiple Dancers copy a move, they copy it in order from fastest to slowest, apparently including speed modifiers as normal. This may seem unsurprising, but in gen 7, multiple Dancer activations would resolve in order of slowest to fastest using the “raw” speed stat without any...
