I think someone else merged it bc I don't see anything Metal Powder related! But I generally just merge typo fixes and stuff ftr.

dhelmise

dhelmise

P Squared

dhelmise

yea

dhelmise

http://www.smogon.com/dex/xy/items/metal_powder/

the descriptions in the code should be
- Raises Ditto's Defense and Special Defense by 50%.
- {rs: Doubles Ditto's Defense.}

dhelmise

aka it should be displaying the rs one in the regular page

P Squared

oh wait

P Squared

i see Bughouse's edit for that page, is that right?

dhelmise

is my description right? if so, yes

i cant see other edits :x

P Squared

oh huh. ok. well it says...

- Raises Ditto's Defense by 50%.
- {dp: Raises Ditto's Defense and Special Defense by 50%.}

dhelmise

well i can, but only the most recent ones, and the most recent one listed for the items page on the dex is listed as an edit by TDP fixing Light Ball's description

P Squared

doesn't match yours

P Squared

ohhhh. no. i thought you were looking at smogon.com/cms

According to Marty-D, Metal Powder ONLY raises BOTH of Ditto's defenses by 1.5x in GSC, and it DOUBLES (not raises by 50%) in every other gen.

Also, it might be worth mentioning that the function only works on Ditto that haven't transformed yet.

i tried going there once, but it doesnt work for me :o
