Bug Reports v2.0 (READ OP BEFORE POSTING!!)

Hi.

I discovered a bug when battling in the Hackmons tier.

I had a Protean Torkoal. I used Curse, which changed my typing to Ghost and put a curse on my opponent (or so I thought). At the end of the turn, it was my Torkoal that was afflicted by the curse, fainting it. Screenshot is attached below.

This is one of the most obscure mechanics, but it is correct. Here's a video of it below.

 
This is a minor visual glitch, but this is what happens when you used a Z Move when a Pokémon with Pressure is on the field. This may happen with regular moves, but I’ve never seen it myself.

In regards to the Linked OM: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7linked-737568855

On turn 4, I used aqua jet, while my opponent used fake out + close combat. The CC and fake out went first, even though by the OM priority rules, linked moves follow the lowest priority bracket. On turn 5, I used aqua jet again, and was outsped by a thunderpunch. I assume this glitch is due to something with fake out being in the second slot messing up priority calculations, or something about ditto being messed up with priority moves, which I find less likely.
 
A problem with Ditto seems more likely to me.

From turn 2, we know Azumarill has Belly Drum and Aqua Jet (in that order) as its first two moves for a link, and from turn 3 (based on the fact that Ditto used only Aqua Jet without also using a Belly Drum beforehand) we know Ditto is scarf. Belly Drum + Aqua Jet is likewise a 0-priority combo, so it seems that Azumarill had some sort of state info written along the lines of "your Aqua Jet really counts as 0 priority", and when Ditto transformed into it, it blindly copied that state info without realizing that because it's choiced and the original source of that moveset isn't, Ditto won't use the link, and isn't beholden to the 0 priority of Belly Drum.
 
If you try to join a groupchat using the /join command, if you put a space after the room name it doesn't accept it.

Most likely caused by toId not being used when the room you're trying to join is a groupchat, so the space doesn't get eliminated.

Not a huge bug or anything, but seeing as my phone likes to put spaces at the end of words, I have problems with it about once a week
 
I had an Ampharos with ability Plus, and mega-Manectric with ability Minus (before mega-evolve). However, the plus and minus don't work upon entering in double battle, not boosting anything.
 
They don't give a tangible "stat boost" level, such as green "1.5x SpA" or "1.5x SpD" info boxes. They simply apply the adjustment to whatever your current special stats are (which you can see by hovering over the Pokemon in battle), but only for as long as your active pair retains the Plus/Minus abilities. If either of those goes mega, its ability is no longer Plus or Minus, so no one gets the 50% boost from that anymore.

I already reported it multiple times, but never got any response - there's a visual bug regarding Illusion. And I am not talking about the fact that when the illusioned pokemon faints, the pokemon it was disguised as is displayed as fainted.

In this battle, Regigigas was disguised as Luigia. When it fainted, Lugia was shown as the fainted pokemon. But when Lugia fainted, Aggron was shown as the fainted mon - which clearly is wrong, Aggron is still alive as you can see in this screenshot and had nothing to do with the Illusion.
 
example: in gen 5 ubers battle with a beartic, the abilities shown for "opponent sees" includes slush rush, which isn't a thing in gen 5... sorry if already posted, didn't notice anything
 
There appears to be a user with the ominous rank "undefined" in the userlist.
I am not sure if this is merely a visual bug or if it causes trouble in other ways. Esteemed user asgdf is already aware of it, but a report won't hurt nobody.
The user itself doesn't know what's causing the bug.

A screenshot it attached to this post.

Bug report: Generation 1 Clamp's PP rollback glitch

Match: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen1ou-738569334
Turn: 48

Bug: Clamp's PP went to 63 PP after switching in Chansey. That's supposed to happen when Clamp has 0 PP before the switch. However, it happened when Clamp had 1 PP before the switch.

Under cartridge mechanics, Cloyster is forced to use Clamp everytime I switch my Pokémon. If Clamp has 0 PP before the switch, Cloyster will still be forced to use Clamp, and its PP will rollback to 63 (as it had 0). That's never gonna happen at 1 PP.

In the game, you may notice that Clamp's PP was rollback to 63 on the 16th time it was used. Since Clamp has 16 PP, that should have happened on the 17th time.
 
The transfer system that exists for 3->4 and 4->5 did not let you send a Pokemon forward if one of its moves was an HM move. Unlike Defog, which was safe to go via HGSS (because the HM restriction didn't apply to ordinary trades within the same generation, and because they changed HM5 to Whirlpool instead of Defog), Surf was an HM in all games, so there was no getting around the fact that if you wanted to send it forward, you had to delete Surf. Relearn moves were not a thing until 6, so deleting Surf from those games meant deleting any indication that it ever had Surf to begin with, and once you do so you can never get the move back. Thus Surf + Nasty Plot is actually incapable of coexisting, and the sim is properly recognizing as much.

Note that if you try to validate a Pichu with Surf (but not Nasty Plot, since that move didn't exist yet) against Gen 3 OU, it shows up as legal, proving that Showdown acknowledges the existence of that event, but if you try to validate against Gen 4 OU, it's illegal, which likewise proves that it knows about the inability to send HM moves forward. Normally this isn't an issue since you'd be able to simply re-teach the HM in the newer game if you really wanted it, but the whole Surfing Chu premise is anything but normal.

then why is it legal on the cart games

It isn't. Can you explain how you believe you could obtain a Nasty Plot and Surf Pikachu or Raichu, considering the transfer limitations?

e: if you're talking about this video then you might also notice the line directly under the event details on Bulbapedia where it says "This Pokémon must forget the move Surf in order to be able to be sent to Pal Park" that he ignores repeatedly.

There is a bug that occurs if you're playing in web browsers on your phone.

What happens is that when the opponent activates the timer, I lose my time even when I am unable to make any movement, while Pokémon is performing the "animation" of the moves , for example.

This has happened several times, and I always end up losing through inactivity, even though I have not been inactive.

I do not have any screenshot or replay, as it would be frustrating to go through it again, but it's something easy to verify anyway.

It would be good if you could fixed this.

Too bad, even after so long the problem still persists

i got this on smogtours, refreshing didn't help, wasn't seeing this on ps in old gen or usm games. opened incognito and it was normal on that. on smogtours i played usm ou and after the game ended i saw similar stuff. dunno what's up :(
 
Setting a mon's gender to Genderless when creating a Balanced Hackmons team resets the gender option when you click out of it, I think this should be more clear since it makes it appear that it's not saving it.

Also I think the genderless/any gender option should be available in Metronome battles too since they work if you change it in the import, or at least have a way to manually make a mon genderless.

EDIT: tl;dr: Some moves don't seem to have a failure message and instead just display nothing.
original text: another issue I've noticed, idk if it's intended: at least Happy Hour, Spit Up, and Baton Pass don't have any message after their use if they don't work. No "But it failed" or anything.

http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7customgame-739663247

EDIT 2: Full HP Synthesis and Magic Bounced Roar failed in this match (https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-739669423) without any message so I thought you guys got rid of all the fail messages, but then this match (https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-739673248) procs a ton of moves that fail with the "But it failed".

EDIT 3:

full HP Heal Order has fail message on turn 3 in this match (https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-739677239)

while in this match Morning Sun at full HP has no message on turn 3 (https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-739674594)

more edits: Floral Healing no message turn 1 (https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-739699740), Shore Up turn 1 (https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-739706922)

same for Wish, used to say the mon made a wish

On Turn 5, the Sky Drop freed message appears twice (https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-739705600)

This is an issue that I had to deal with for at least 2 years now. I've posted in Help room and PMed a couple of leaders after, and they had no clue.

Often, when I battle my friend here in a battleroom, he, for some reason, cannot see any of the messages I post in the battleroom. To double check that, I asked him in PMs if he has seen these messages and he clearly responds no.

Please don't suggest that he may have ignored me because that has been established at least a year ago until now. This is a very mysterious and unknown issue and we do not know why or how it happens. Not even the leaders know what this is.

This problem has been ongoing and very annoying, forcing me to PM my friend the messages which were supposed to be in the battleroom.

This is my only chance to get rid of it. Inform me of any suggestions or reasons you may know of why this happens to me.

Thanks in behalf.

Its tour rules nowadays. For instance, banning abomasnow would be /tour rules -Abomasnow.
 
When multiple mons faint at the same time (for example due to Perish Song), usually the fastest one faints first and the slowest one last.
However, when a mon uses Explosion/Self-Destruct in a Doubles battle, killing its ally and both opposing mons, there seems to be a bug in the implementation:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7metronomebattle-740949165

With minimum speed and paralysis, my Pokestar Spirit was obivously the slowest mon on the field, but when my Celesteela used Self-Destruct, my Pokestar Spirit was actually the first one to faint, both opposing Spirits fainted after it.
