On turn 23 Ditto is sent out, takes damage from spikes but does not get poisoned from the toxic spikes. I tried to find and in-game reason, but could not find any.

This is not a bug. Misty Terrain was active, thus protecting all grounded Pokemon from being affected by status.

I've been seeing this visual bug for a while and finally managed to get a screenshot. Basically, if a pokemon changes forms during dynamax, it doesn't become small again if you hit next turn/skip turn before the game can say the "([pokemon] returned to normal!)" text.

Battle: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8randombattle-1373165921
On turn 10, if you click skip turn before the text comes up you'll see "dynamaxed" zygarde using outrage.

And here's the screenshot of my non-dynamaxed but still big zygarde during the battle:

I was playing a gen 4 inverse ranbats roomtour and HOW DARE U GUYS DISRESPECT UNOWN THE MIGHTY GOD, IT DOES NOT EVEN HAVE ITS SPRITE.
(I forgot to save the replay pls don't cancel me.

Proof

And i think i know why, it's probably because the unown form was not A, so the programmers did not put in its sprite.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - SPRITE, someone will need to provide its Gen 4 sprites (DaWoblefet)

Yo. The mega sabelye has shown to be focus sash. The explanation i can think of was that zoroark was disguised as mega sabelye and has sash so ig that i am not entirely sure if thats correct or no.
I leaved the battle accidently so no replay will post if i get that somehow :(
Edit1 - founded the replay https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8nationaldexmonotype-1373546563.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - MECHANICS (CLIENT) this is just a display issue (DaWoblefet)

I was challenging a friend using this command /challenge gen 8 random battle @@@ gen 8 shared power, maxteamsize=12, PickedTeamSize=6, same type clause and suddenly the battle crashed

Battle

I can do /showteam but when my friend do that "the battle crashed" message appear again. This never happened to me before

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - CHAT (SERVER) (Mia)
From the crashlog email, the battle crashed because the restrictions you set meant the server could not generate a randbats team.
From there, /showteam is unusable because it interfaces with the battle directly (which had been destroyed due to the crash).

Hello! I couldn't find any corresponding bug reports and I'm unable to check this on cart.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8ou-1375638973-d2rwhkvzc2t85biyv6c66aqkyobohmdpw

On Turn 11, the final turn of Magic Room being up, I select Phantom Force on Mimikyu, which is holding a Choice Scarf.
Magic Room expires at the end of this turn.
On Turn 12, I select the only move I can, Phantom Force, and instead of completing the two-turn move, the move just fails.

I've checked Bulbapedia's entries on Magic Room and semi-invulnerability move bugs. However, this is such a niche situation (and I am clearly such a genius to think of this stupendous combination) that I wouldn't be surprised if it just hasn't come up before.

Thank you!

SELF-EDIT: Resolved by pokeblade101 below also I just had the interaction they described, thank you!

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, see below (DaWoblefet)

Thank you!

You locked yourself into Magic Room and when it ended the Choice Scarf came back into effect making the phantom force fail.

Here is In-game evidence anyway that this is how it works.

When attempting to change a pokemon to an alternate form in the teambuilder (eg. gastrodon-east) on any generation other than gen 8, the pokemon won't change form. It only works when you manually change the name in the Import/Export box.
It seems small enough that I could try to fix it myself, but I have no idea where the proper code is for the teambuilder nor how they decided to work the form change buttons.

So something regarding damage is off between the damage calc and PS when it comes to old gen damage formula. Noitu ended up recording this piece of evidence here:

Hello! I believe there is a discrepancy between damage calculator in /calc page and actual showdown play damage for generation 3 games. Below is the link to replay to which I will refer.
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3customgame-1374657737-mykrrmjjv5tllm7bb62y471zwo4pvwfpw

In this game, Latios is EVed to live a shadow ball from any deoxys-attack that is not holding a choice band. The exact EVs of latios can be seen at the end of replay through !showteam function. Deoxys-attack is holding spell tag, which should boost ghost moves by 10%. Here is what the damage calculator shows:

252+ Atk Spell Tag Deoxys-Attack Shadow Ball vs. 244 HP / 48 Def Latios: 306-360 (84.5 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

However, in turn 8 and turn 13 of this replay, it is showing that there is a chance for 100% damage on latios. Would you kindly review this calculation, please? As always, thank you for keeping this amazing website running!

A friend and I decided to run another lengthy test and found that 6/59 (I messed up the damage recording process on turn 45) rolls were anomalies:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ubers-1376931019-rye6fws77ojf8xsj4ujt5k495nqmkq7pw
we !showset at the end, but here's a paste of the mons we used anyways: https://pokepast.es/bdc74dbcd33721d6

Rolls and Anomalies

Brick Break:

anomalies we encountered: 136, 142

HP Fighting:

anomalies we encountered: 142, 142, 130

Rock Smash at -4 Def (we encountered no issues with the rest):

anomaly we encountered: 248 on critical hit and -4 Def

I don't know which part of the site is right or wrong on this matter, though I am inclined to give the calc the benefit of the doubt, but there is clearly something wrong between the two here.

E: I checked the repository and it looks like this was fixed!

Gen 3 PS multiplies base power by 1.1 while the calc multiplies the relevant attack stat by 1.1. Based on pokeemerald I would assume the calc is correct here.

Making Shadow Ball 88 BP will match PS behaviour:

The Show PMs in chat rooms setting doesn't work for me. It does work if I use an incognito tab, and it seems to work for everyone else, so this is probably an issue on my end somehow, not showdown's, but i figured i'd mention it.

Images

Me PMing myself on an incognito tab.

Same thing, but here on a non-incognito tab, it doesn't show the PMs fsr.

BUG STATUS: NEEDS MORE INFO, sounds like some kind of caching issue. Clearing data for Showdown should likely fix things. (DaWoblefet)

Edit: Unrelated, and not really a bug so much as just a typo, but the help for /sl says "If you provide a user argument in the form user:username, it will search for messages (that match the other arguments) only from that userAll other arguments will be considered part of the search (if more than one argument is specified, it searches for lines containing all terms)." which is missing a space and period between user and All

focus sash is only supposed to activate if a players pokemon had max health my health was 99.9% not 100% due to nuzzle https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8anythinggoes-1377566224

This is not a bug because you took 1 damage in dynamax, and your HP changed (rounding up to 100%) when you undynamaxed.

[Rosalina(milotic)]

I'm fairly certain there is no reason why Golisopod's emergency exit didnt activate here, either my opponent was hacking or this is a bug.(or i'm dumb)

Turn 3
Nidoking used Thunderbolt!
It's super effective!
(The opposing Golisopod lost 90% of its health!)
The opposing Golisopod used Liquidation!
It's super effective!
(Nidoking lost 100% of its health!)
Nidoking fainted!
Go! Crobat!
Turn 4

How did the melmetal wake up? I didnt see any use of aromatherapy or heal bell, and melmetal doesnt get natural cure.

It also activated the sleep clause after I tried to resleep it, which further confuses me

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, this was Zoroark (DaWoblefet)

 

[dangerdogs]

When you /dt a move and click on the link, all the Pokemon that learn that move by level up are listed as error: "a<level> <pokemon>"

Added bans - allpokemon
Removed bans - Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Typhlosion, Meganium, Feraligatr

Natdex's rule of unbanning "Past" pokemon overrides the "All Pokemon" ban. Either use a format that isn't natdex as base (you don't need to use natdex for this since the gen 2 starters are getting explicitly unbanned), or re ban "Past" stuff for the tournament (this also bans past items like mega stones which is one of the caveats of "Past" things being grouped up)

Giratina can't be used in VGC s10 because the validator says they can't use their abilities either pressure nor telepathy

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, Giratina can only have those abilities while in Altered forme; Origin Forme Giratina-O can only have Levitate (DaWoblefet)

The guessed spread feature puts 4 EVs into attack despite having no attacking moves and gives Raikou a hasty Nature. Note that it does not have to do with Weather Ball as seen in the second image.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - TEAMBUILDER, the teambuilder should not give a recommended EV spread without 4 moves (DaWoblefet)

 

[Colteor]

I don't know if this is technically a bug or some other issue, but the "sample sets" for adv OU suicune in the teambuilder are the old sets instead of the recent updated ones.

Currently

Updated set

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - TEAMBUILDER, I originally thought this was just something to do with tier shifts but I was mistaken (DaWoblefet)

Accepting a friend request from someone after you've hit the friends cap removes the last friend in your current list; probably should reject outright

Ran into a bug while I was playing Free-For-All Randbats. Why does it say that Slurpuff has Victory Star? The ability it gave to Slurpuff is Unburden, and it doesn't say that Slurpuff has Victory Star anywhere else.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - MECHANICS (CLIENT) this is simply a visual glitch (DaWoblefet)
