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

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm not sure if this was reported in one of the earlier pages but for a while now I've been trying to see if I could get Earth Power Zygarde in gen 7 with Power Construct as the ability. The team builder keeps saying it's invalid since its not compatible with the ability as Earth Power was an ORAS move tutor. However, in game cart you can bring over a Zygarde from gen 6 and by adding 50 more cells to it you can get it complete form with power construct as well as without having the moveset wiped. I've seen it done in game cart before but I haven't been able to do it myself as I don't have a copy of XY. This has been like this for quite some time now and I just wanted to know if this actually is impossible or not, to me it seems like a bug in the validator but I just wanted to find out for sure.

That's eviolite chansey getting OHKO'd by z corkscrew crash.

Im not sure if showdown is registering eviolite atm cause it happens in any physical attack scenario so far

That's a screenshot of the set

0+ Atk Celesteela Corkscrew Crash (160 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 597-703 (93.1 - 109.6%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO
(not even taking in account a potential Atk invested spread)

(See the damage calc). Also on your screenshot your Chansey happens to be 252- Atk/0+ Def/252 Speed, you might want to get that changed to increase your bulk

It's been mentioned in this thread before, but there hasn't been any mention of it on the last 14 pages or so. I can attest that you're right, though. The only form-ability combination on Zygarde that is not able to learn OR/AS Tutor moves is Aura Break Zygarde-10% (I went into a bit more depth here)

However, after transforming into lower-leveled enemy mons, I still got outsped, altough I should be faster due to the higher level.

While stats depend on level, Transform copies the actual stats, so that cancels out. The only remaining difference is the damage calculation, which is also affected by your level.

I want to crawl into a hole and wish my losses away

I ran into this wall of text when I queued up an outdated CAP team for a room tour. The text itself is correct since Tomohawk and Earth Power are illegal in [Gen 7] CAP, but it repeated itself for what seemed like a hundred+ lines. I haven't seen this with any other illegalities so I thought I'd post about it here.

In a Gen 3 Random Battle match I got a Qwilfish with a move "sworddance" (exact spelling). I assume it's a misspelling in the code.

I hope I didn't break any rules here.

this has been reported and fixed already, the fix will be complete with the next PS update

Metronome can call Generation 7 moves in Generation 6 formats. I have not tested if other prior generations can use Metronome to call later generations' moves as well.

No, they can't. I've been meaning to submit a nice fix for this for over a month but I've just been too busy...
 
you can't cancel a switch against a shadow tag pokemon when you're holding shed shell, shed shell guarentees you can not get trapped so that would make cancelling a switch something you should be able to do.

You cannot cancel a switch (or rather, any action on your rightmost active Pokemon) on normal circumnstances on cart as well, yet you can in Showdown.

This is a different scenario though, because trying to switch when the opponent has Shadow Tag will stop you if they do have that ability. Being able to cancel out of regular attacks like Flamethrower on a Serperior where no Imprison or such is involved doesn't bring any harm. But if you try to switch out against a Pokemon that could potentially have a trapping ability like Magnezone when you're a Steel type would reveal that they aren't Magnet Pull as well as being able to attack them at the same time, which would be an advantage you can't have on Cartridge but you could have on Pokemon Showdown (yes I know being able to cancel moves in general is also an "advantage of the simulator", but the same exact scenario can be achived by just spending more time to think, revealing that the opponent has/doesn't have an ability when they shouldn't would be an unfair advantage).

Edit For clarification: The simulator stops you from cancelling a switch if you try to switch out from an opposing Pokemon that could potentially have an ability that traps your Pokemon. If I'm understanding Thimo's post right, you're also not able to cancel a switch-out when the opponent potentially has a trapping ability and you're holding a Shed Shell. A Shed Shell in that scenario would basically make any attempt at switching like any other cancel-able move/action.

Doesn't the game prevent you from even clicking the "Pokemon" option if there's a trapping ability? (Or I'm getting confused, or it was how it worked in an earlier generation)

If it's not the case, then it is indeed something that should be addressed.
 
I recently made a Gen. 4 UU team involving Magic Guard Clefable, but when I validated it Showdown claimed that Magic Guard with any moves is illegal. When I played Gen 4 back in the day this was never an issue. What has changed? Can this be addressed?
 
I'm getting some problems with the actual program for Pokemon Showdown. Often times when I just opened it, or at any time when I'm in the Teambuilder, the program will randomly close on, treating the button I had just click as though it were the X at the top of the window. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, that didn't work. I'd really appreciate some help. Getting worried it'll start happening in the middle of a match.

I don't really know if this is intentional, but on Turn 27 my opponent was able to use Supersonic Skystrike even though Lopunny encored Gyarados into using Dragon Dance.
I looked up Encore and couldn't find where it states that its mechanics are changed with Z-moves.

From the Sun/Moon Research thread:
  • While affected by Encore a Pokemon still has the option to use its Z-move even if its base move was the move that was Encored. (OmegaDonut) Encore will fail against a Pokemon that previously used a Z-move (LegoFigure11)

¨
Edit: Whoops, I misread the post in the research thread. I'll test to see if that's how it works in-game

Edit 2: OK tested the mechanics, Z-Moves can be used even if it's locked into another move through Encore, whether it was already locked into Encore on the turn before or was locked into encore previously on the turn.
