Could it be because Zoroark switched in on Neutralizing Gas so its Illusion didn’t update for some reason?

I think it would be better to just ban Sturdy or Shedinja entirely. It doesn’t have any real use other than enabling Sturdinja cheese. The Power of Alchemy/Receiver strat is very inconsistent, though. It’s just not as good as standard teams. I think Brightpowder is more of a problem, and even...

InkyDarkBird You meant for Aura Guard to be banned, right? It exists on PS currently but isn’t listed in the challenge code.

The difference between physical and special damage in Metronome really isn't that much. Sure, there are more physical moves, but their average base power is weaker and few of them are spread moves. Contact moves on average are even weaker still, and only one of them is a spread move. You also...

As they described, the issue is with having both Sing and Perish Song on one set, and that the validator is reporting a less accurate reason for rejecting that illegal combination than it could be.

Last month, I saw someone using… I think it was Innards Out Mega Gengar? I thought to myself, “That’s stupid. …You should use Regidrago.” So I did. :regidrago: Throw artist (Regidrago) @ Choice Band Ability: Innards Out EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Hasty Nature IVs: 0...

How is that relevant to the replay?

It’s because the forme change into Arceus-Normal is a regular forme change like a mega evolution and not a transformation, so it recalculated Ditto’s stats as if it were a level 100 Arceus. I don’t know if it should be that way, but that’s what happened.

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics What is the bug? Struggle vs. Sturdy Shedinja did no recoil damage https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-2656860560 My Venusaur don’t have Rock Head or Magic Guard, but those shouldn’t block Struggle recoil anyway. Are you...

I really don’t think banning Terastallization altogether is a good idea. Without it, there’s no room for Pokemon with good stats and bad typing like Guzzlord, Tyranitar, Dragonite, or even Ting Lu or Type: Null. You just pick two of whatever the best Pokemon for the archetype you’re building and...

Manaphy is a solid 6x100, but I think Pokestar UFO is probably the best one in terms of typing. There’s also Pokestar Giant/Humanoid for pure Normal, or White Door for a pure Fire typing which are each about as good as pure Water. We also need to shout out Silvally-Ghost for having almost the...

Ninetales can have Hidden Power Rock in gen 7 random battles, which requires an even speed IV, so I guess it had one less point of speed than the tooltip’s listed maximum. I don’t know if that’s intended; Gen 7 is the gen that introduced bottle caps, but iirc caps are only usable on level 100...

It’s probably because those moves are Unobtainable, rather than being fully unusable. For example, Corrosive Gas can’t be learned by any Pokemon in gen 9, but the move is still usable on a hacked set and even callable by Metronome.
