    Hydrametr0nice That one is interesting. I had someone else verify that for me in SV. However, this interaction actually appears to have changed in a patch (I would assume the same one that also made them affected by Neutralizing Gas, which is 3.0.0). Apparently they're also affected by Entrainment and Simple Beam/Worry Seed now.

    Note that the first post on the Smogon SV research thread still says that Protosynthesis and Quark Drive are immune to Gastro Acid, so it's probably worth posting your update there too. (I would, but in this case I didn't do the research myself.)

    Please limit discussion to battle mechanics only!

    Note: Version numbers are used to show that a new version of the games was released between tests within a given list, and that mechanics following the heading were tested using that version, not to imply that those mechanics necessarily changed from a previous version unless otherwise indicated in this or the linked post.

    Ah, it looks like Anubis found that there's an Ability flag table in Gen 9 (rather than these interactions just being hardcoded into the engine like in previous generations). So we do in fact know that the `CantSuppress` flag was changed for Protosynthesis and Quark Drive in 3.0.0

    Because of how Gulp Missile can now be Skill Swapped, I looked at where ability flags are handled. Similar to how moves have a table of values and flags, abilities have their own table to control whether they can be copied or replaced. In previous games, this was handled with hard-coded exclusion tables.

    Each ability has 9 flags! Marty and I have identified 8 all of these 9 flags. Flags 1-3 are identical lists, but we tested these by altering the flags in game.

    The flags in order are:

    Not personally. Bulbapedia user Driftin Soul tested it and mentioned this in the Bulbagarden Discord server. They also found that those two abilities can now be replaced by Lingering Aroma too.
