What is the bug?
ADV and DPP Memento does not self KO when used into Protect and Substitute.
I was digging through the Emerald decomp and looked over the script for Memento here (line 2204), when I noticed that Memento is supposed to fail to lower the opponent's stats when used into substitute or protect, but should still self KO. Upon looking deeper, I found that Memento should also be implemented this way in DPP as well. After testing I can confirm that this does not occur in both generations of gameplay on Showdown, instead showing the move as failing outright.
Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Yes, please see the attached replays demonstrating this in both generations on showdown.
