Turn 12: Fire Pledge vs Gastrodon hit super effectively after a Tar Shot, it should hit neutrally.

Max Strike from Sylveon activates Misty Terrain instead of lowering speed.

Confimed that misty terrian does actually take effect when my will-o-wisp fails to hit

it's not a bug, pixilate "transforms" max strike into max starfall

In balanced hackmons, zacian-crowned should have beast boost but, in a match it has intrepid sword.

Feint is currently not doing damage through max guard, also brick break + scrappy is not destroying screens on ghost types

This is a bug affecting speed ties that another person pointed out to me. In the following replay, the Gengar that Mega Evolves last always loses the speed tie: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-1049741168 I ran this game for 10 iterations and it had the same outcome each time.

Strangely, it seems that this issue only affects gen 7 and not gen 8. After switching the format to National Dex AG, I was able to win the speed tie with the Gengar that Mega Evolved last: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8nationaldexag-1049706166

I'm not entirely convinced this is a bug... I know, for example, when two primal Pokemon are sent out at the start of the battle, the primal who reverts last always "wins" the weather war; this happens (most of the time) because the slower Pokemon's form change occurs last. I think it's related to your case in that the turn order is chosen and the Gengar deemed "slower" (losing the speed tie) transforms last; same as the primal situation. I think it's different with Gen 8 since a lot of turn order factors were changed significantly. Now I could be wrong, this requires some on-cart testing, but based on what I know about primal reversion and the activation in regards to speed, I don't think this is a bug.

Since gen 7, the Speed changes from Mega Evolution are supposed to take place instantaneously (ie. on the same turn you Mega Evolve). This means that turn order should be decided after applying the Speed changes, which should result in a Speed tie in this case. I think this is different from the primal situation as neither should be deemed slower than the other.

If on-cart testing reveals that the current behavior is correct then I'll drop this bug report, but I'd be surprised if that was the case. Seems unintentional to me, esp. given that the behavior was accidentally dropped for gen 8.

zacian crowned is forced to have intrepid sword as its ability

 

[Annika]

Not sure if this is a bug or just weirdness from the actual games, but the miss message ([Pokémon] avoided the attack!) for Triple Kick only displays if the move misses on its first accuracy check. Many instances of this are visible in this battle: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8nationaldexag-1050626310.

Turn 24, Raikou faints because of recoil damage from Life Orb, Swampert uses Hydro Pump but it fails because of not having a target. Yet in tooltips, Hydro Pump's PP is reduced by 2 instead of 1 because of Raikou's Pressure despite Pressure actually not applying to it on that turn.

[bluemarvizz]

Twice activating polteargeist weak armor with Shadow sneak (+4 spe) in vgc20 makes not Attack before tailwind dynamax dragapult(so not scarfed). My Polteargeist reaches 112 in spe
Here the replay

You can't set pre-evo abilities from the teambuilder anymore without directly modifying the import/export text. The flavour text declaring a mon's post-evo ability is missing too.

Galarian Weezing’s neutralizing gas is not properly disabling Cramorant’s gulp missile. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8uu-1051025685

Gulp missile isn't affected by neutralizing gas, similarly to some other signature abilities.

 

[Tommaniacal]

Shiftry outsped orbeetle even though it's not scarfed. Both level 84, shiftry is 183 speed and orbeetle is 199. Shiftry is life orb and orbeetle is leftovers

 

[hareta16]

I think there's a bug here. On turn 2 I used yawn on rotom, then the turn after they used safeguard which stopped the rotom from falling asleep. In game if the pokemon was hit by yawn before safeguard is put up then yawn still causes the pokemon to fall asleep. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8vgc2020-1051158998

You sure it wasn't chorophyll shiftry?

 

[CoolMan6001]

You sure it wasn't chorophyll shiftry?

There's no harsh sunlight in the screenshot for Chlorophyll to activate on.

 

[HoeenHero]

There's no harsh sunlight in the screenshot for Chlorophyll to activate on.

There is, its just not active anymore at the time of the screenshot. Look closely at the battle log.

 

[BePolite]

1. Decorate should go through max guard
2. using No Retreat multiple times should create multiple boosts (it fails in showdown)

 

[Deleted User 229847]

Huge Court Change bug https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8ou-1051525186

@ Turn 8 Cinderace uses Court Change, not resetting the reflect timer (which should have expired that turn) but also doing that with the light clay effect making it last 8 turns.

 

[Ballfire]

The teambuilder only shows Behemoth Blade/Bash respectively for Zacian-Crowned and Zamazenta-Crowned

 

[2nd_Slash]

Although no retreat fails if used a second time under normal circumstances, it is possible to use it more than once without failing if falinks is trapped before the first use, as stated by bulbapedia: “If the user has already been given the "Can't Escape" status by another move such as Mean Look, No Retreat will successfully grant its stat boosts but will not create an additional status line to trap the user again. In this case, using No Retreat multiple times will create multiple boosts.”
The specifics of when no retreat does or does not fail is that the game checks if the user has a trapping status line caused by no retreat and NOT simply if no retreat has been used before. Of course, this is all guessing that patch 1.1 in sw/sh didn’t change this. This may also need testing before implemented in order to answer questions like “if falinks is freed after using no retreat, will the falinks become trapped by no retreat immediately or will that only happen if no retreat is used again?”

Hey, I'm mentioning this here because it's really the best place to put this.
I've been having issues with the Team Builder, it keeps giving my Pokemon the wrong move.
I had naturally assumed that I was the one at fault, but I caught the issue happening to my Salazzle's moveset just a few moments ago.
It wasn't just with Dragon Pulse, it happened with Sludge Wave as well. The issue kept happening until I removed all my moves and replaced them, as you'll see.
