Legality Issue on Paldea Dex Draft Format

It looks like movepool additions from past generations are available in the tier, even though it should only allow Paldea Dex movepools similar to OU. Example here is Rotom who currently does not have Pain Split. Another example is Weavile (Knock Off, Triple Axel).

Builder shows as Illegal:

But it validates:

Is Booster Energy knockable?

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1737717809-szv1w5urmgy1h4kuqw9bc16vxh6gh89pw

Turn 6, enemy Great Tusk uses Knock on my Great Tusk, which does not remove my Booster Energy. The Booster Energy did not proc yet due to sun, so my Great Tusk still has it (or so it said on PS). Is this a bug?

Is Booster Energy knockable?

They are signature items, so they can't be knocked off the Paradox Pokémon, just like you can't knock off Zacian's Rusted Sword.

When using Transform or switching in with Imposter against a Pokémon with a different level from Ditto, the latter will still use its original level to calculate Atk, Def, SpA and SpD, but the target's Spe stat will be copied as is (meaning they will always speed tie bar items). It's possible this is simply a really wack interaction from cartridge that's been faithfully carried over to Showdown, but as I haven't been able to find any documentation online that mentions it, I wanted to bring attention to it.

When using Spicy Extract on my Clear Body Dragapult, chat did not enjoy trying to recreate it in text form.

Just had a VGC battle where dondozo with a swallowed Tatsugiri did not get its boost from order up when attacking into protect. On cart you still get boost. Happens on turn 5 in my replay

A user called Waroko experienced a lot of client-side lag, with their mouse freezing and animations not showing, when their opponent sent out a pokemon with the following nickname:

꧁༒☬☬༒꧂

Which doesn't show up correctly in the post preview, so see below:

This obviously involves unusual characters that might not have been encountered before. I'm posting on their behalf since they don't have an account on here and I'm currently lurking in the PS Help room where they brought up the problem.

This happened to them both when fighting a pokemon with this nickname and when using a pokemon with this nickname, as well as when viewing the replay. I didn't notice any issues whatsoever when using Firefox 107.0.1 but Waroko had this issue using Chrome.

chat log

Waroko: as soon as they sent out their raikou
Waroko: my game started lagging like crazy
Waroko: Like it freeze
Waroko: and then the game would resume
Waroko: But when they sent out their next mon I wouldn't get an animation
im coral: weird. the replay is showing as normal.
Waroko: It would just appear instantly
Waroko: Maybe it has to be in real time
Waroko: Like im not even joking none of the animations would play for switching or attacks
Waroko: Never happened to me before so I assume it was the nicknames
im coral: thats really weird
Waroko: But maybe ps just rly lagging that one game
im coral: whats ur browser
Waroko: im using chrome
Waroko: ive never had a problem b4 either
im coral: im in firefox, maybe theres a difference there? idk
Waroko: Maybe it is chrome
Waroko: Cause im looking at the replay
Waroko: and everytime he sends out a mon with the nicknames
Waroko: it lags for me
Waroko: But before that with just rhyperior i dont have an issue

Context: Raikou had the "Death" nickname, and Rhyperior was not nicknamed in the original battle.

I'm hoping others here could check the replay to see if it is a bug, and if so maybe something could be done to fix the performance issues caused by it, or maybe just disallow these uncommon characters in pokemon nicknames if it's a chrome thing not a ps thing? idk. thanks :)

Pursuit currently triggers on Revival Blessing as if it was a pivoting move, that may have to do with how the current implementation of Revival Blessing partially relies on the code used for pivoting moves like U-Turn IIRC, but in any case a replay where that happens is here.

 

[coral fan]

In random formats with Team Preview, like Challenge Cup 1v1, Tera Types are not visible when hovering over a pokemon, but are able to be acessed through /showteam. Not sure if this is technically a bug or a feature request but either way it would be helpful for this information to be easily accessible.

I think it might be a visual glitch but Abomasnow blizzard isn't coming up as 100% acurate in snow

So, while playing this game
replay

at T10 I could read that rage fist had 100BP, as in if annihilape had been hit once, which didn't happen. the damage on amoonguss seems to be a correct damage output at 50bp though, so seemingly a visual bug (can't really show I had 100bp though while moving my mouse over it, can just attest for it).

+1 36+ Atk Annihilape Rage Fist vs. 236 HP / 116 Def Amoonguss: 63-75 (28.7 - 34.2%) -- 2% chance to 3HKO

the damage is indeed correct, had i had 100bp, it would have been much more:

+1 36+ Atk Annihilape Rage Fist (100 BP) vs. 236 HP / 116 Def Amoonguss: 124-147 (56.6 - 67.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - MECHANICS (CLIENT), The damage taken from setting up a sub was erroneously counted as being a hit by the client (Karthik)

Hey DaWoblefet! I found a bug about Miraidon in Gen 9 National Dex AG. The game thinks that Miraidon is an event Pokemon and wants its stats and Hidden Power to be Changed. Think you can fix this? Thanks!



BUG STATUS: NEEDS MORE INFO - The image link you provided is a link to a file on your computer, we cant access that.

In addition, Miraidon is an event only pokemon. Pokemon you can only catch once per save file are event only and have restrictions on their stats to fit that event.

Edit- I even tried putting Miraidon on just one team by itself and it just keeps telling me this. I tried with Koraidon and even with max attack, speed and one for hp, the game saids that Koraidon is fine, but Miraidon is not with max special attack instead.... I finally learned how to send a pic so hope this helps!

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - TEAMBUILDER (CLIENT), Miraidon can't have an attack iv other than 31, but the teambuilder is setting it to 0 because it has no physical attacks, which it probably shouldn't be doing since to avoid situations like this (Karthik)

 

[LemonadeLlama]

Dondozo's coloured stat bars look to small for the stats it has. If you compare Dondozo to something like Clodsire, which has less base HP, Dondozo's HP bar is still smaller.

This might be an issue on other pokemon but I've only noticed it on Dondozo.

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, in these screenshots, Dondozo is level 50 while Clodsire is level 100, which is why you see the difference in the lengths and colors of the stat bars (Karthik)

 

[AgentJJ24]

This isn't exactly the right thread for this, but there's really no thread that fits for this kind of bug.

When using the Teambuilder, this is what I get when I try to select a format.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, logging out, it still stayed. It's been like this for a few days now and it's physically impossible to select some metagames.

This didn't happen on the Web Browser version, just the app.

salt cure did not apply to enemy garganacl, but he was able to salt cure me without issue. turn 26 on this battle:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1739421054

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, The opposing Garganacl was holding a Covert Cloak. (Kris)

This bug appears to be solely visual, but it really fucks things up. If Zoroark illusions as an Annihilape, then takes a hit, Annihilape's rage fist will display as 100 bp despite actually being 50 bp. This replay was staged to showcase this, the Annihilape deals 25% to Iron Valiant, which is impossible with a 100 bp rage fist.

 

[camboi]

Booster Energy is being consumed on a Protosynthesis mon while Harsh Sunlight is active. From my understanding (and I believe it used to work like this on Showdown before), if Sun is active, then Protosynthesis is activated without consuming the Booster Energy, and it's only consumed once the weather/terrain ends.
Here is a replay: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1739508364

 

[FJ2K]

The Paldea Dex Draft doesn't function correctly. The Mons should only have access to their Gen 9 move sets. Though the teambuilder will tell you the move isn't valid, it will still validate. This is an extension of Datoneman's post because his post only mentions Rotom-Heat and Weavile. On further inspection, this issue applies to all the older Mons.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - VALIDATOR (Kris)

Hello in the day 12/12/2022
I was in a battle, I had just put dondozo on the field, at that time an error appeared and I lost my SP.DEF and DEF buffs, I would like to know what happened.
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9doublesou-1739641193
In the replay dont show, but i have a screen shot

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - CLIENT, Spicy Extract is using an invalid image file for one its animation. (Kris)

 

[RoadToPlastic]

I was playing nat dex AG:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9nationaldexag-1739725463

In turn 19 Assit + Revival Blessing; failed even though there were 5 pokemon alive in that turn.

Then in turn 36 for a moment there were not any pokemon alive (also pawmot swapped places with the ''bugged'' ditto)

Somehow the game kept going because that ditto were still alive, but neither me or him could see it.

Tinkaton used Gigaton Hammer. I clicked encore and it was able to use it again despite the move description stating it can't be used twice in a row.

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, Gigaton Hammer can't be clicked twice, but moves that force the user into using the move twice make it work like normally. PS doesn't have a "Battle!" button to select moves like in-game, so this is our way to replicate it. (Kris)

 

[FluffyTheCat12]

When my Oricorio's Dancer triggered with Volcarona's Fiery Dance, it targeted my Volcarona instead of the original target. It happened in a prior game, but never before, and it worked as normal sometimes in this game. Don't know if this is the reason, but Volcarona has Safety Goggles, it might mess up the targeting replay: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2023series1-1740009269 It happens turn one

 

[Dexagon]

My Pawmot was my only remaining Pokemon, and I used Revival Blessing. When it fainted during the same turn, a glitch occurred where it appeared I had two Annihilapes, after one spawned in, then I switched in the other.
