What type of bug are you reporting? Ladder
What is the bug?
I've been using a strategy where:
- In double battles, I have a Smeargle using Shell Smash, and an Indeedee using Follow Me.
- On the next turn, I swap Indeedee for a Flamigo with Costar, who inherits the stats from the Smeargle. The Flamigo is holding a White Herb, and so the stat-drop from Shell Smash is negated, leaving Flamigo with only the boosted stats.
Up until very recently, that was how this mechanic behaved on Showdown, and that is how the mechanic works in SV on console too (when any Pokémon, not just Flamigo, holding a White Herb, switches in to inherit stats, the White Herb will activate and nullify any dropped stats).
Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
