https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randombattle-1742929100 unaware not working gen 9

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, Unaware only ignores the opponent’s stat changes, not the user’s. This is why Quagsire took more damage from Liquidation after the defense drop (Karthik)

I don't know if it's normal or not for the new generation, but Copycat doesn't work when used in succession anymore. Last generation, it used to be able to call up the same move over and over again, but now it fails if used twice in a row.

It looks like tyranitar mega evolving doesn't reset sand, after I got up rain.

Not sure when but this was fixed

More Dancer bugs, yay!
Gen 9 VGC 2023 Series 1

Oricorio uses Revelation Dance, Lucario breaks through confusion and uses Copycat to copy the Revelation Dance, Dancer does not activate to copy the Copycat Revelation Dance, when it should.

and as a second one i think?
Gen 9 VGC 2023 Series 1

Repeatedly using After You causes it to fail?

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, The After You got redirected to Indeedee after it used Follow Me, when it then proceeded to fail because Indeedee had already used its move (Karthik)

Protean only works once per switch-in in Gen 9.

Bro, Liepard said, "It's Morbin time" and transformed into a duplicate gengar at the end and more weird shit happened in this fight

Hello! I came back because for some reason, my old bug report was gone (Idk How) but can you fix Miraidon in Gen 9 AG National Dex pls? The game wants its stats and HP to be changed in a weird way... Idk if this is because I have Koraidon as well, but I even tried putting Miraidon alone on 1 team, and it keeps telling me this. His Evs are max SP.Attack and speed with 4 more points on hp as leftovers alongside, his moveset is Electro Drift, Dragon Pulse, Power Gem, and Metal Sound. Can you fix this? Thanks!

Some items such as Rowap, Jaboca and Engima Berries show up as illegal in the teambuilder for Gen 9 National Dex AG but are allowed into the format

All Miraidons must have Perfect IVs as they are only obtainable that way in the boss fight

 

[R8]

Typing "/nds heal bell" only returns Blissey and its pre-evolutions, despite Blissey not being the only Pokemon learning the move in natdex

 

[Mathy]

Exporting an input log where Revival Blessing is used puts a pass input where a switch input for selecting the revival target should be.

STATUS: FIXED

That's odd because my Miraidon has terrain extender and that isn't illegal..

turn 5, greninja didn't change its type using protean.

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG In Gen 9, Protean activates only once per switch in (Irpachuza).

 

[Ester98]

In VGC2023 Series 1 Flabébé isn't being allowed

 

[Friar Laurence]

In Gen 9 Random Battle Mayhem, my Pokémon was prevented from using Rest due to Insomnia, but the game attributed it to Defiant instead

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randombattlemayhem-1746165575

BUG STATUS: OMs, Rest doesn't actually know which ability blocked it, so it assumes it's the Pokemon's primary ability, rather than any additional ability added by the Mayhem mod. (urkerab)

Context: Sableye used encore to force a Prankster Klefki to use thunderwave. The encored thunderwave went thought and paralyzed the dark type

Battle Link: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randombattle-1746353823-8yzvxdug0u334jsmeuv6dszcgfdk3j1pw

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, Prankster only boosts the priority of the selected move; if Thunder Wave wasn't selected then Prankster didn't boost it, and it can hit Dark types. (urkerab)

 

[Regalintent]

In Gen 9 random battles:

Opponent used court change to swap my2x spikes and stealth rocks back to my side, I used rapid spin soon after (Turn 28) to get rid of entry hazards. But the stealth rock animation remained on the screen. No damage was taken after rapid spin was used, only the appearance of stealth rock on screen remained .

game play:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randombattle-1746375949

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - Mechanics (Client)
To see the bug, skip to turn 26 and don't skip any further turns. It appears an extra layer of Rocks appears, that's why it has a more opaque sprite until Rapid Spin is used.

I'd like to report a bug in how Hyper Drill is implemented on PS.

Currently, Hyper Drill is implemented to break Protect and moves like Wide Guard, such that their effects are removed entirely.

Battle Showcasing Bug: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2023series1-1746445672

However, the on-cart mechanics have Hyper Drill bypass protect and protection moves, but not break like Feint or Phantom Force.

Battle Showcasing On-Cart Mechanics:

BUG STATUS: FIXED by Karthik

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9nationaldexag-1746748785 on turn 62 the opponent's last pokemon changes from a shedinja to a liepard. Was told to send this here

(Things get interesting from turns 13 to 19)

I spored a Heracross and it didn't show the sleep status on mouse over thereafter. I didn't notice until I tried to spore another mon and the sleep clause activated. Afaik the game worked correctly, the sleep status just didn't display. It only displayed after the Heracross switched back in.

Interestingly, the replay shows it differently, originally showing the sleep status before Zoroark switches in disguised as Heracross, at which point the icon changes to a series of question marks (???) which were not visible in the actual game. The Zoroark is KO'd, a Haxorus is brought in, sleep clause is activated, Haxorus is KO'd, and the real Heracross returns, restoring the sleep status on the display.
