Needs Triage Bug Report - Mechanics

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
Was playing random battle mayhem which had an inverse mod included. Had a tera mon and was hit by stellar star storm from a tera terapagos. Shouldnt it have been resisted? Since normally stellar is super effective on tera mon only.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Could be able to replicate if I kept redoing random battles with myself until I get terapagos on one of my teams.
 
This would be easy to fix, but it seems like an untestable mechanic. Stellar moves have regular effectiveness against all types. The super-effectiveness against Terastallized Pokémon is hardcoded into the game, it is not part of the Type chart (the thing that is actually inverted). So, I guess this is a subjective decision. You could see it either as regular effectiveness or as a mechanic like Tera Shell.

Edit: The more I think about it, the more I feel it should stay as it is. Thousand Arrows has similar weird interactions in Inverse Mod, which can be tested in Gen 6.
 
Alright I think that makes sense, just felt it should at least be mentioned so devs were aware if they weren’t already. The fact I just now stumbled across it shows it’s probably not that big a thing either.
