Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Gluttony isn't working if indirect damage (i assume this affects all indirect damage, only tested with belly drum) causes you to go under 50% hp. It is working properly with direct damage.

On turn 7, Relicanth uses Yawn on Regirock as it uses Rest and wakes up due to the Chesto Berry. The Yawn indicator disappears, but on Turn 8, the subsequent Yawn fails and Regirock is put to sleep anyways.
Not 100% sure whether this is a bug or intentional, but the “All Pokemon” ban/unban only includes Pokemon that exist in Gen 8, even in Natdex-based metas. As far as I’m aware, this only affects challenges/tours with custom rulesets and Fusion Evolution UU, but if this isn’t a bug, than FEUU being based in Standard Natdex instead of just Standard is which makes me feel better about posting for this since there’s an issue either way.
Not a bug, every phazing move (unless called by something like copycat or sleep talk) has negative priority. This is probably done so that a super fast phazer can't just click roar 32 times and wait for your team to die to hazards.
Apologies that I didn't get a screen shot but I've noticed a bug between Neutralizing Gas and Pressure.
When you hover the mouse over a pokemon it shows how much PP the pokemon has left in each of these moves. If your pokemon has Neutralizing Gas and the opponent has Pressure this screen will still remove 2 PP each attack and will eventually show negative PP for that move. This did not effect the normal move selection screen PP and I ran out of PP 1 at a time as expected, onlynthe hover over screen was effected.
The tour ban "-all pokemon" only applies to Pokemon that are in the Galar dex as of right now which results in National Dex mons (and forms) not in the galar dex to validate.
I tested to make sure "-all pokemon" wasn't broken for National Dex and Pichu confirmed this for me in the second screenshot.
BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG
For bans and unbans, more specific beats less specific. So NatDex's "+ Past" beats your "- all pokemon".
We're working on a way to change it to "right beats left" for more intuitive behavior, but for now, just manually ban every specific unban (add "- Past" to your rules list). -Zarel
While teambuilding for gen 6 formats, Water Shuriken still shows up as a special move, despite it being a physical move in the mentioned gen. Because of this, the suggested EV spread also shows 4 Special Attack investment when the rest of the moves are physical. Testing from battles however suggests that it acts like a physical move still, which is correct. The replay used for testing can be found here.
252+ SpA Greninja Water Shuriken (15 BP) (2 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Blissey: 32-38 (4.4 - 5.3%) -- possibly the worst move ever
0- Atk Greninja Water Shuriken (15 BP) (2 hits) vs. 252 HP / 4+ Def Blissey: 108-128 (15.1 - 17.9%) -- approx. possible 6HKO
I can unfortunately not record my screen at the time of posting, otherwise I would attach a video of the teambuilder as well, but that can be fact-checked easily.
In a similar vein to this previous post of mine, while using Zippy Zap in LGPE OU, it shows the incorrect move entry in the teambuilder. The gen 8 entry, which is, "Goes first. Raises user's evasion by 1." is shown instead of the correct entry which is "Nearly always goes first. Always crits." (entries taken directly from /dt and /dt7) However, the base power shown is 50, which is correct for LGPE (as the gen 8 entry on showdown increases the BP to 80). It does work as intended, which can be checked with the calcs below and the replay linked here.
50 BP + Crit : 0 Atk Pikachu-Starter Zippy Zap vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Arcanine on a critical hit: 45-54 (27.2 - 32.7%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
80 BP + Crit : 0 Atk Pikachu-Starter Zippy Zap vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Arcanine on a critical hit: 69-82 (41.8 - 49.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Instead of continuing to post about this for singular instances, I would like to also make this a general post regarding the issue of changes being made to moves over the gens. From more investigation, it seems that base power (mostly), accuracy changes, PP changes (mostly) and typing changes are reflected correctly. However, move category changes specifically after the physical/special split and move descriptions/secondary effects show the latest versions instead of the ones for whatever gen is being used to teambuild (while they remain correct in practice).
BP changes : Zippy Zap in gen 7 shows correct BP, Tackle reflects correct BP changes throughout the gens, Moves changed in Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee such as Solar Beam, Sky Attack, etc still show USUM-accurate BPs while building for LGPE OU Accuracy changes : Gen 1 : Blizzard, Rock Throw, Whirlwind,etc; Gen 2: Low Kick,Razor Wind,etc among others show correct accuracy values and changes in the respective gens in which they were changed PP changes : Gen 1-3 Absorb shows correct PP value (32) for these gens and the correct value after change (40), Absorb shows USUM-accurate PP value of 40 (base PP: 25) whereas the correct value is 24 (base PP: 15) while building for LGPE OU Description/Secondary Effect changes : Gen 1 Acid, Aurora Beam, Bubble, etc show a 10% secondary effect chance while it is actually 33% for Gen 1. Gen 1 Bite shows a 30% Flinch chance but it is actually 10% for Gen 1. These are just visual while they work correctly in practice (See: Gen 7 Zippy Zap always lands crits and doesn't raise evasion despite wrong description in Teambuilder) Physical/Special Category changes : (see: quoted post; this is also just a visual error similar to Secondary Effect changes as is shown by calcs in quoted post)
Edit :Forgot to add this in the original but PP changes are correctly reflected in battle as well, it's also just visual (Golbat with absorb in LGPE OU shows 24 PP in battle)
When I was testing the "Max Level = 9999" custom rule, I realized that the some stats aren't inflated as they should be. This affects the damage dealt, as seen in the replays below.
Most attacks appear to be doing less than they should be (even when both mons have "Lvl 9999" stats).
The Pokemon are doing either far too little or far too much damage to each other. When I tested in a Custom Game, the damage dealt was far more similar to how it would be if the Pokemon were Lvl 100.
For example, if both Pokemon are Lvl 100, Zacian should OHKO Xerneas with Behemoth Blade:
+1 252+ Atk Zacian-Crowned Behemoth Bash vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Xerneas: 684-806 (174 - 205%) -- guaranteed OHKO
While this was the case in the Custom Game, Zacian only dealt 4~5% in one of the AG games.
BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, this has to do with overflow that exists in the actual games! Custom Game ignores overflow, which is why you didn't encounter it here. Stats are not only confined to 16 bits (which means at most, you can only have a stat of 65535), but because a +0 stat multiplier is an implicit *2/2, you really can't have a stat higher than 32767. Any other attack modifiers will cause overflow at significantly earlier stages. Besides that, Nature stat overflow offers another place for overflow to occur and mess up the relative amount of damage you would do. And all of that's on top of regular damage overflow! If you want to play a format with max level 9999 that ignores overflow, you'll have to play custom game (DaWoblefet).
My points dissapeared for no reason, went from 1542 to 1500 without any games played in a matter of minutes, unfortunately i don´t have a replay of my previous points, but here are my current points:
BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG - ladder decay exists, see this page (Mia)
I don't think clefable was that small... https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8anythinggoes-1337767312
This happened when he switched his non-transformed ditto to the ditto that was a clefable earlier, it couldnt transform ofc, i had a sub. He didnt use minimize either.

So if a pokemon with pressure dies to stealth rocks and the opponent uses a move that would count for pressure, it would show it in the guide BUT not actually reduce it and it made me think they ran out of PP one move earlier and so it would be best to fix because it actually can effect gameplay outcomes
It appears that Metronome on PS is coded such that repeated uses of moves with charge turns have a consistent 1.2x damage boost (First hit treats the charge turn as a successful execution of the move, hence the hit is at 1.2x damage, however subsequent hits are also at 1.2x damage). Is this behavior, that is, the effective 1.2x damage cap, shown in game?
