Mechanics Speed Swap and Mega Evolution in Champions

[caratroc]

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
Speed swap and mega works incorrectly. On showdown mega evolving after using speed swap resets speed to the new mega speed and erases the swapped speed. It doesn't work that way in pokemon champions.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Happens every time on showdown. Here is a replay https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9championsvgc2026regma-2582962892?p2

Can you share footage of Speed Swap working that way in Champions? We are still trying to figure out all the mechanics in Champions, not everything has been found yet.

Here is a hastily made video showing the interaction on champions.

As a developer, it's hard for me to understand what kind of implementation they have that would lead to this consequence. We should try a few things to figure out what's happening, like using Power Swap and then Mega Evolving, or Speed Swap followed by Transform. Also, what happens if you Speed Swap back after Mega Evolving.

Edit: now I'm curious if something like Skill Swap would persist after Mega Evolving

I have the speed swap bug too! 3 battles so far and everytime I used speed swap in the chat it says that alakazam swapped speed with it's target but nothing changes ingame (on allies) ...

I can try again and send the replay file 1 sec:
