What type of bug are you reporting? Validator

What is the bug?
Pokemon transfered from VC games always have at least 3 perfect IVs (aka, of 31), meaning they can't have Hidden Power Fighting.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Hypno (M)
Ability: Inner Focus
Hidden Power: Fighting
EVs: 1 Def
- Take Down
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

The above currently validates in Gen 7 OU and NatDex formats, note the inclusion of a move only obtainable by a RBY transfer.

The set doesn't validate for me in Gen 7 OU or Gen 8 NatDex for the reason you described.

Hypno learns Take Down by TM001 in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. However if I had one of its other transfer-only moves such as Bide or Rage then it again fails to validate for me in Gen 9 NatDex.

Huh, that sure is interesting, something may have changed by the time you tested or something, in any case, I bothered testing with Bide as you said to corroborate, and that combo still validates to me when it shouldn't.

 

[urkerab]

Retrying, I now see the behaviour you describe... unless I change the move to regular Hidden Power, at which point it starts failing again. So what seems to be happening is that the client doesn't bother sending the hidden power type if you include the type in the move, but unfortunately I've checked the server code and it doesn't read the hidden power type from the move until after it checks for event validity. Oops...

This was fixed by me.
