What type of bug are you reporting?
Mechanics

What is the bug?
I used protect back to back and the second protect failed. They used close combat which also failed somehow.

I accidentally forgot to upload the replay but I saved it though and have the Google drive version:

Upload an image of the bug if necessary

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
No

Protect has a mechanic where when used consecutively, it will have an increasing chance to fail (1/X, where X triples each successful use until it fails or another move is used).

In terms of Close Combat failing:

|move|p2a: Pinsir|Close Combat|p2: Rillaboom|[notarget]
|-fail|p2a: Pinsir

The close combat did not target any Pokemon, so it failed. I didn't load the replay, but the most likely cause is that its ally fainted, and the move was targeted at it (be it a misclick or other play).

Ok thanks for clarifying. I knew the protect fail but was confused about the close combat one
