In gen 7 battles, rapid spin's move description says it has a 100% chance to raise speed by one stage, which was only introduced in gen 8.

The short desc for diamond storm in gen 7 and 8 still states that it has a 50% chance to raise def per hit, which is only true in gen 6.

I used a Maranga Berry against landorus incarnate, the landorus used two different special attacks and I did not get a special defence boost. I could not find anything about sheer force blocking Maranga activation so assume this is a bug.

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, Sheer force does, in fact, negate Maranga berry. (Dawn of Ares)

Oh, I see what’s going on here. If you type “bull”, Tauros pops up since that’s its alias. If you then pick Bullet Seed out of the list, the builder acts like you added a Tauros to your team when it shows you the Bullet Seed filtered list, resulting in the screenshot from the original report.
 
I do not know if it is a display bug or a problem on my pc but when I am in a match I switch on the teambuilder then I come back to the match, part of the the screen of the match disappears. I therefore no longer have access to the climates tour, trick room, terrains, to the names of the pokes and their %.

BUG STATUS: NEEDS MORE INFO, I have no idea how to reproduce this (DaWoblefet)

So I was testing sky drop in Nat Dex AG because I was curious how it would function and it was able to pick up dynamax pokemon. This should not be possible as in SWSH all weight based moves do not work against maxed pokemon because their weight is ???. It wasted their turn of dynamax which is absurdly broken, especially for custom VGC natdex formats.

Heres the example: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8nationaldexag-1308251289

BUG STATUS: WRONG PLACE, National Dex mechanics are arbitrarily made up. You cannot test this situation on cart, so National Dex staff would need to assign what behavior they want to occur. (DaWoblefet)

Caetano93 found this out: mail cannot be knocked off in bw, however it does get knocked off on the sim

That's true,
I'm waiting a friend who have the game carts to reproduce the situation in video for me.
Once I have it, i'm posting it here.

This one is important because Mail is a competitive item in BW for Pokemon like Reuniclus, Ferrothorn, and Blissey that wants to avoid Latios Trick.

This is not true; I'm the one who researched it in the first place and implemented the generic Mail item on the sim.

Did you test in a wild battle? Wild Pokemon can't knock off any of the player's items, Mail or not.
 
I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this (if it isn't, my apologies) and I haven't double-checked myself yet, but:

Allegedly, and according to this (French) youtube video: if all of your pc boxes are full when doing the mandatory Rayquaza capture in the Delta Episode of ORAS, if you choose not to put Ray in your team but to send it to the pc, the pokemon will get deleted from the savefile.
However, Zinnia still tries to teach your Rayquaza Dragon Ascent, which results in her teaching it to the first pokemon in your party.

TL; DR: Has yet to be double-checked but a glitch might allow for virtually any Pokémon in generations 6 and prior to be taught Dragon Ascent.

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, As Cynara says, that this requires save editing. Besides that, it would only be legal in local multiplayer, but PS more closely simulates online multiplayer (DaWoblefet)

This has been known for a while, though the problem with this is the battle hack check system denies any Pokemon with Dragon Ascent (except ones that can actually learn it), to enter a battle against another Human player. i.e it will notify you have illegible Pokemon on the battle screen and disconnect. (I tried it myself) therefore it wouldn't possible to use in any official smogon metagame, and comes under the umbrella of Other Metagames such as Hackmons.

If I'm recalling correctly (I May be wrong), this bug actually requires you to save edit as I believe the final box (31) is actually unlocked upon capturing this rayquaza and is not possible to fill beforehand (To prevent this from actually happening). So it isn't doable without hacking anyway, therefore not really a ingame glitch.

Hi, I like the feature where if both players challenge each other in the same format at the same time, it automatically counts as accepting the challenge.

But I’m not sure if this was intended (the player who blocked the incoming challenges is still considered to be sending the challenge):

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - CHAT (CLIENT), generally speaking this can happen in other situations too (where one player challenges another, but the other cancels, so one player is stuck in challenge limbo) (DaWoblefet)

That's actually pretty nice to hear. I found literally no mention of this anywhere else though so I thought it might've been brand new. Thanks for the reply!
 
Not sure if this has to do with oldgen inheritance, but when I put swift on my PZ, it suggested attack ev's over special attack. Again, could be olgen inheritance but I'm not sure.

Incredibly minor, but there's a small typo in the error message for some pokemon's formes that need an item. It's only with forme changes, as megas give a different error message if you remove their item.
1616777984540.png

Giratina Origin is an example of how it should look. Tested in natdex AG and normal AG builder. I'm assuming the glitch is because the regular formes don't technically have a name, so it's just blank.
The only mons I saw that were affected by this were Zacian-Crowned, Zamazenta-Crowned, and all of Genesect's drive formes. (Burn, chill, douse and shock.) I didn't test every Arceus or Silvally forme, but I tested a couple of each and they worked fine. Sorry if it's known/wrong thread, I looked and didn't see anything else or a better place to post.

BUG STATUS: FIXED by Marty
