I was testing out Wishiwashi's schooling mechanics with Beat Up to see if the damage changes when Wishiwashi steps onto the battlefield and then switch outs.
I tested this mechanic on PS! and it does the same damage no matter what happens.
Does this mechanic work the same as the cartridge by any chance?

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, The base Attack stat Beat Up uses when it determines the base power of each hit is that of the forme the Pokemon entered battle with (see associated research) (DaWoblefet)

When using /challenge genXou @@@ Allow Tradeback, +future to allow moves/items/Pokémon like Taunt in Gen 1 or 2, or Scald in Generations before 5, works completely fine for everything, except moves in GSC. The issue is only on moves, and only in GSC, as Eviolite GSC or Scald DPP work just fine, for example.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - LEGALITY, Allow Tradeback is supposed to do this (DaWoblefet)

In this Random Battle Mayhem battle, my Machamp dropped to 0 HP on turn 9 due to Croagunk's Gunk Shot. However, the Machamp still took its turn at 0 HP, then died to its burn. Unfortunately I cannot screenshot it as viewing specific HP amounts is disabled in replays, but I am hoping that Smogon staff can still view the exact HP or duplicate the scenario. Thank you!

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, you were not in fact at 0 HP, but at 1 HP. You may be misremembering; I can verify it survived on 1 HP (DaWoblefet)

Been having this visual bug with player sprites, but only on the left side, and only while spectating games. Things are fine when my sprite is in this position while playing.

Edit: The same thing happens in replays too now

BUG STATUS: NEEDS MORE INFO, like your operating system, browser, and preferably a way of reproducing it (DaWoblefet)

Waves edit: Windows 10, Firefox. While there isn't any specific way of reproducing it afaik, it does happen quite frequently. This is especially true for stours.

Currently, in every metagame since Gen4, it is legal to give to a Pokémon a Cherish Ball. However, and to my knowledge the Cherish Ball has been not released as a Bag Item in main Pokémon games, and is thus illegal without hacking.

I believe this is a bug? (Similarly, in BDSP metagmes it is legal to give a Beast Ball, despite the ball not being coded afaik.)

BUG STATUS: FIXED by DaWoblefet

Currently the validator says Freeze-Dry and Rock Polish are illegal on Amaura, but /learn says this combination is legal (Rock Polish is a gen 7 TM and Freeze-Dry is a gen 8 level up move)

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, I'm assuming you are trying to validate this in LC. The only way Amaura can have Freeze-Dry at level 5 is if it was bred in Gen 8 by parents that already know Freeze-Dry, which would make it unable to have any moves that are only TMs in Gen 7 (Karthik)

When challenging to a gen 1 custom game, various abilities are illegal on some pokemon and not others. For example, if you attempt to bring Solar Power Mega Aero, it will be denied but if you bring Solar Power Charizard it will work fine. Bring an Iron Fist Melmetal, rejected, Iron Fist Blissey, it works fine. Guess it denies certain abilities on unevolved mons?

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, we don't guarantee the behavior or legality of future-gen mechanics in a past-gen metagame (DaWoblefet)

i just made a forums account so idk how this works but heres my report:

in gen 5 ou, it says that whimsicott cannot have encore and switcheroo, which is wrong, by breeding first a male cacturn with switcheroo and a female whimsicott, you can get a female cottonee with switcheroo, then you can breed this female cottonee that knows switcheroo with a male togetic that knows encore to get a cottonee with encore and switcheroo, then you can train it to have a whimsicott that knows both encore and switcheroo, i did this in my pokemon white 2 save file so i was confused why it didnt work here when it should

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, female Pokemon don't pass down egg moves in Generation V. The only possible father for Switcheroo is the Cacnea line, which cannot itself have Encore; Encore is an event move on Cacnea, it's not an egg move. But Switcheroo is Egg move only on Cacnea, so Cacnea can't have both, which means Whimsicott also can't have both (DaWoblefet)

In Gen 2, Smeargle cannot learn Explosion/Selfdestruct, but they show up in the list of learnable moves. Validation states that these moves are unlearnable(as they are in Gen 2), and thus they should not appear in the move list.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - TEAMBUILDER (DaWoblefet)

Darmanitan-Zen is listed as illegal in the (Gen 8) Balanced Hackmons teambuilder, however the validation allows you to run it.

When I was composing a gen 4 OU team, I selected breloom, gave it facade, typed in "to" in the items, looking for the toxic orb, and it appeared twice.

Broken RBY Ditto.

The label appears, but the opponent's stat changes are not copied.

If a pokemon uses metronome, gets hyperbeam, and kills the opponent with it they will still have to recharge next turn.

I'm just assuming this is a bug, I don't know anything about how the original games play.

Happens on turn 40: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen1ou-1559409477

Thank you

BUG STATUS: NEEDS MORE RESEARCH I'd want to see cart footage of the actual behavior (DaWoblefet)

If Zamazenta has behemoth bash and iron head the team it’s in can’t be validated (screenshot is teambuilder for national dex AG)
F2EC9E8E-0A56-460F-9030-8CAC96968EB3.jpeg

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG When Zamazenta holds the Rusted Shield, it becomes Crowned form and Iron head is changed into Behemoth Bash. You can never have a Zamazenta-Crowned with Iron Head in-game as a result. (DaWoblefet)

Despite Eternatus being labeled as usable under VGC 2021 rules, and I have made a replica of Wolfe Glick's team for that format from his challenge video, teambuilder is rejecting Eternatus under Flat Rules.
Screenshot (2) Edited.png

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, VGC 2021 is supposed to be Series 7/9 which didn't allow restricteds (Karthik)
