In a recent battle, however, this happened (his Gengar had a Substitute up. I'm assuming it was a Sub Pain Split or something. And I'm exp1, and "Fire" is my Heatran) :Substitute page said:Substitute does not block Attract, Destiny Bond, Disable, Encore, Foresight, Guard Swap, Haze, Heart Swap, Imprison, Miracle Eye, Odor Sleuth, Perish Song, Power Swap, Psych Up, Roar, Role Play, Skill Swap, Spite, Taunt, Torment, Transform, or Whirlwind.

It's super effective!
The substitute took damage for Fire!
Fire's substitute faded!
Fire used Torment.
But it failed!
The sandstorm rages.
Gengar is buffetted by the sandstorm!
Gengar lost 6% of its health.
Gengar's leftovers restored its health a little!
Gengar restored 6% of its health.
Fire's leftovers restored its health a little!

I know Shoddy 2 is around the corner, but I also know it's been around the corner since last year. As far as I know, they are using the code from SB1 for SB2, so this may need to be addressed. I have a recent drive to use Torment Tran successfully, and this little glitch has prevented me from doing so on a few occasions. If I need to make a new thread for this or something, let me know. I'm just putting it where I thought it belonged.battle chat said:exp1: wait...

exp1: Torment failed?
iwilltorture: sub
exp1: It hits through Sub
exp1: Check Smogon
iwilltorture: apparently not.
Genxim: ss ?
exp1: Smogon says distinctly it hits through Sub
Close Combat doesn't hit Pokémon that are underground, underwater, or in midair. You didn't know that? And what do you mean by "lefties"?Another question or glitch i was looking for an ou battle and i got it and my lead was infernape and ninjask was his. I faked out it did 27% I later close combated predicting a switch to something that can resist Fire blast if he predicted it.But i realised he didn't switch or went for a sub but he went for dig(hahahaha dig on ninjask :P) and bam out of no where my close combat misses how could it miss when it had lefties........?
Shoddy Battle 2 is 100% original code and none of the game mechanics were implemented with reference to Shoddy Battle 1. The whole point of the rewrite was to do things better. You can follow the progress here.I know Shoddy 2 is around the corner, but I also know it's been around the corner since last year. As far as I know, they are using the code from SB1 for SB2, so this may need to be addressed.
