Not A Bug Bug Report - Mechanics

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
If I play a gen 5 custom game and run a pokemon with the ability merciless, it only crits poisoned pokemon about 50% of the time, rather than guaranteed. this only stopped working a few days ago, up until then it worked correctly. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen5customgame-2445349763-b1brnh0n7hn1wn6gu36drp99t13dr3spw. There is a significant fan format called 33 Valuemons that is based in Gen 5 Custom, but uses later gen abilities, and Merciless breaking is very unfortunate for us, as Merciless Gengar is a fan favorite in the format.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Yes, just follow the same steps.
 
The code responsible for this interaction hasn’t changed in at least 4 years, and gen 5’s max crit rate has always been 50%.
