Needs Triage Bug Report - Mechanics

[Frank97]

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
Overflow in scalemons. Onix had max hp and max def in scalemons which should lead to a def stat of +- 700 but it dropped to 14.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
I played another game for a test to see if it happens again and it did

(From the OM Room) When a Pokemon's stat hits 655 it rolls over and becomes 0. If a Pokemon has exactly 0 Defense it will take minimal (~1-2) damage from each attack, while going over that will make a Pokemon take extremely high amounts of damage. Because of this the Overflow Stat Mod was implemented, and will cap any Pokemon's stats at 654. Please note that stat changes do not affect this, and stats can go over 655 if affected by boosts, such as Thick Club or Shell Smash, or other similar things.

Maybe you just battled without overflow stat mod, in which case it would be not a bug (unless gen 9 changed this mechanic)
