This is just a small visual bug. Corv gets tricked a sticky barb. On turn 9, a knocked off primarina Draining kisses the Corv and steals the barb. UI says both of them are holding a Sticky Barb

I don't know where to post this, but only female Ledian has animated wings.

Edit:

Thank you to whoever fixed this, though I just noticed that the shiny male sprite is also bugged

BUG STATUS: FIXED by someone (whoever it was thanks!)

There's also the sprite in the smogdex but I dunno if that's handled by a different team or something.

Hi there, I'm back with another obscure bug. I was testing out nightmare in generation 2, and noticed that it doesn't actually get cleared when you cure yourself of sleep via sleep talk -> heal bell, and then it carries over, which is definitely wrong. Also, can someone verify that nightmare isn't actually supposed to do damage to you while you are awake if you heal sleep via heal bell?

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen2customgame-1582118754

More research has happened, and showdown is indeed wrong. Nightmare disappears upon heal bell removing sleep.

hey i found a bug in metronome battles and im not sure but i might have had something to do with magic bounce roar. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8metronomebattle-1583264097 . Basically, i was trying to see if i could win with the worst possible team and when one of them fainted it caused my other one to move to his place and lose his stat changes. After this happened, i couldn't do my turn because it would always make me pick a move for the fainted one but then it said i wasnt allowed to pick for my dead one. the only reason i can think this happened was because of the magic bounce roar on the gengar.

it happened again but it never fixed but i got the replay this time. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8metronomebattle-1583287181-myyq242zg39g6yx2gx9e7a2spasqeuqpw . it seems to happen every time one of them dies.the amount of time it lasts for varies. it happened a few times only for a second but it happened twice where it was permanent.

i got a ss of it making me pickthe move but it has 0/100 hp.

Rip, couldn't figure out a way to set up hacks for gen 2, but I found a more relevant bug in gen 5 instead that's actually fairly easy to pull off in a normal battle (with cartridge footage!). Magic Bounce should not reset the metronome item counter. This is also not limited to affecting gen 5 (it affects gen 5+. Obviously it would be great to test this on cartridge for future gens, but it probably means this interaction is bugged in every gen.)

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen5customgame-1583450005 for showdown behavior
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k25v8Av2xHrkkA-sflRyTmNQDUJHc16o/view?usp=sharing for cartridge behavior in b2/w2.
TLDW: 0 boosts of metronome -> 7 HP of dmg, 3 boosts of metronome -> 11 HP of dmg, after magic bounce reflected a disable "successfully"

Relevant calcs to prove that this fluctuation is not just "due to rng". Even in the worst case, where after 0 metronome boosts, and grimer has the lowest defense possible, 11 is still not in the range of 0 boosts. I would also like to point out that magic bounce happened the turn before the tackle with 3 boosts of metronome. Battle is against Nicky in Virbank Gym.

Code: 
Lvl 10 0 Atk Steelix Tackle vs. Lvl 14 0 HP / 0- Def Grimer: 7-9 (15.2 - 19.5%) -- not a KO
 
Possible damage amounts: (7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9)

Lvl 10 0 Atk Metronome Steelix Tackle vs. Lvl 14 0 HP / 0- Def Grimer: 11-14 (23.9 - 30.4%) -- not a KO
 
Possible damage amounts: (11, 11, 11, 11, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 14)

Main motivation for doing this was trying to understand the lastTurnMoveResult field of a pokemon in the simulator, and its interactions with magic bounce brought up this question. I wish I had a better way to test this kind of stuff on cartridge. :blobpensive:

Screen Shot 2022-05-26 at 4.07.20 PM.png

Same problem for metronome + summoned moves in gen 5. Metronome boosts are getting reset on each call in the replay I posted. Behavior on showdown also disagrees with bulbapedia. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Metronome_(item)
If a Pokémon uses a move that calls another move, the move that it turns into is what's taken into account when determining whether the bonus should accumulate or reset.

There are pretty clearly 3 boosts at the last hit because liepard does 10 hp of damage. Battle was vs scientist ronald in chargestone cave.

Using hidetext does not seem to be able to hide broadcasted information through commands such as !dt. This caused some problems during an official hunt in Scavengers.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - CHAT (SERVER), other commands, such as !math, !dexsearch, or /addhtmlbox respect hidetext so !dt should too (DaWoblefet)

I believe this is a bug:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8hackmonscup-1583818039
Now, neutralizing gas was in effect on turn 19, but was still affected by moody as per shared power

Not sure if this is intentional, if abilities are permanent buffs to the rest of the team or should still act as abilities.

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, when you slap together a bunch of unrelated mods all in one game, we don't guarantee how each effect will work (DaWoblefet)

I did a Gen 8 Random Battle. My opponent left the game. It said that I received the win. I literally just reset my record before that fight. It says I'm 0-1. My opponent surrendered, and it said I won, but I got the loss for it.

BUG STATUS: NEEDS MORE INFO, in particular, the replay of the game (DaWoblefet)

I have a bug with how abilities are changed when using skill swap. In the battle linked below, the hover text for my Pokémon was incorrect during the battle and in the replay:
- bronzong skill swapped with azumarill. Azumarill showed levitate but bronzong still showed levitate instead of huge power.
- bronzong then skill swapped with regigigas. Bronzong showed slow start and regigigas showed levitate, though it should have had huge power.

Probably doesnt count as a Bug. But while doing a draft, we realized that pokemon that attained an evolution in PLA, will show changed stats in custom games holding an eviolite. They will not be used in Damage Calculation, tho i would understand any reason for not implementing it. It was a bit misleading and wouldve been great for a Custom Battle Draft which includes Hisui Mons.

Regardless of the Respond, thank you for your hard work! Have a nice day :)

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, I cannot reproduce this at all (see below screenshot) (DaWoblefet)

This still isn't enough information for us to help you. Please provide specific, reproducible steps for your problem (DaWoblefet)
Click to expand...
This happens whenever you click the Moves textbox before importing the set. If you click import right away this doesn't happen but once you click on Moves the teambuilder automatically puts the Attack IVs to 0 because technically the mon has no physical moves (as it has no moves at all) and the 0 Attack IVs carry over when you import a set. This is also true if you had manually changed the IVs before importing a set. I doubt this is fully intended and seems like an oversight with how IVs often aren't listed on the dex so the IVs can't be overwritten when importing.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - TEAMBUILDER, thank you for the reproducible steps! (DaWoblefet)

Hello, apologies if somehow already posted but searched for 'toxic' and didn't find any results. I've included the replay here, but somehow in Gen 8 Randoms a Bronzong managed to use Toxic on a Scizor switching in from an already toxic poisoned Dugtrio. I'd understand that Scizor should've been immune but still got hit. Here's the replay - https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8randombattle-1586391101-d860v6thhbpeuko343jl1wlspb90lvfpw

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, as DrPumpkinz says, this was a Zoroark (DaWoblefet)

That was a Zoroark. Scizor can't learn Flamethrower.
 
The /roomwhitelist command can not currently be altered with the "/permission set" command. Unsure if this is intentional or not, but can't imagine why it would be. Seems kinda silly to me to be able to change who can promote voices and drivers but not whitelist.

Returns the red text "roomwhitelist is not a valid room permission."

BP Edit:
1654358350640.png


Whitelist also doesn't show up in the list of valid permissions viewable with /permissions. Either way the permissions command should probably be consistent with the actual command "/roomwhitelist", especially when all the editable promo commands use "room". I'll move this to suggestions if this was intended, sorry.

Hi, dear staff members. I would like to report a bug regarding the weird behavior of Burn Up's effects in this two battles:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8bdsppurehackmons-1575938114
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8customgame-1581209955
(ignore my comments during the battle, I was just making assumptions)
An Arceus that uses Burn Up successfully, being a fire type, but hacked not to have the fire type form, apparently changes type to the "form's type", but actually not, because it keeps being and acting as a fire type (it says it switched type, but it didn't - see the battles to check it for yourself if you need to). Thanks for your work. Have a nice weekend.

BUG STATUS: NEEDS MORE RESEARCH, hacked BDSP mechanics are not well-researched (DaWoblefet)

Pretty Small bug but If silvally with multi-attack is holding a Memory, for example a Fairy Memory, The dynamax move should be Max Strike, Not Max Starfall. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8anythinggoes-1591304098

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, we display what the effective type of the move will be under normal circumstances. On cart, even though it displays max Multi-Attack as Max Strike, it will in fact use Max Starfall during the turn. For the same reason we display Multi-Attack as Fairy-type while holding Fairy Memory, we do the same for Max Multi Attack (DaWoblefet)

Edit: In Pokemon sword/shield multi-attack becomes max strike no matter the memory you are holding since pokemon sword/shield classefies multi-attack as a normal type move.

DaWoblefet edit: you are mistaken. See cartridge footage.

The command /exportinputlog is intended to give the battle logs, including RNG seed and actions chosen, only after the battle ended. It should work directly on randomized formats, and in formats where you bring a team you previously need permission of your opponent, since it gives team information as well.
Even if the RNG info page states that it should be available for anyone, at the moment if you are not an administrator all you get is the [user] wants to extract the battle input log message, but nothing else.
This has been tested with DaWoblefet and confirmed as a bug. Props to berry for noticing and reporting it.

BUG STATUS: FIXED by Karthik

There is bug in the gen 7 teambuilder that changes the IVs for Sample sets featuring hidden power. For example, if I click on LO Kyurem Black, it changes the IVs to 30 speed, 30 attack and 30 special attack. You can see an example of the glitch in the attached imagine. A similar glitch occurs with every Hidden Power user. Note that this does NOT happen when you add Hidden Power manually, it only happens when you click on a sample set with hidden power.

Hi I think this ladder game is somehow bugged? I'm really unsure as to how Regieleki OHKOed Raichu on turn one when Raichu is holding an Assault Vest? There was no helping hand or anything to help it get that OHKO. Raichu 100% is holding that item and is in the code or whatever just in case I am to be questioned if I forgot to attach it.
252+ SpA Life Orb Regieleki Max Strike (150 BP) vs. 20 HP / 140 SpD Assault Vest Raichu: 70-83 (50.7 - 60.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Hello everyone! A nice day for a little bug report. I encountered this bug for the first time in a tournament match a few hours ago. Over the course of two hours, I believe that I have isolated the bug and found many instances where it can occur. In the original match, my opponent's Incineroar used Parting Shot and it "shuffled" the order of their team, as well as removing Parting Shot from Incineroar's list of known moves. This bug caught my attention, and the details are as follows:
Original Match
Original Bug Replication
From this first match I managed to prove to myself, the tournament organizers, and everyone else that had heard about the bug that it was caused when one Pokemon fainted and its partner pivoted out, then took its place in the active slot.

Further testing:
In conclusion, in a double battle, if the one Pokemon faints and the other pivots, and Pokemon that pivoted is brought back in as the replacement to the fainted partner, it is shifted to the last slot on the side panel's Pokemon list and clears all existing data for the pivoting Pokemon aside from HP percentage. This is entirely a visual glitch for both players.

I hope I did enough so that you guys are able to locate the issue and fix it. Just saw it was weird, and I was a little bored, so I decided to investigate. Thanks so much!

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - MECHANICS (CLIENT) I've seen this before myself but never bothered to track it down. Thanks for the hard work! (DaWoblefet)

It seems that if someone challenges you with a username that could be a url ending in .edu, their name becomes hyperlinked and clickable in the PM box.

Happened to me with a random here:

and I tested it against myself here and it worked as well, with the link going to the full website after going through PS' external link page.
1655309669014.png


.org .net and .com names are filtered, but .edu seems to have slipped through.

this also happens when inviting to rooms and promoting, but not when the name is mentioned in the context of a tournament. seen here:

I found two bugs in Gen 8 where Eject pack is triggered at the beginning of the first turn before my Pokemon ability resolves causing two unintended effects:

- Drought doesn't get activated prior to Eject Pack triggering
- My new Pokemon gets intimidated by the second Initimidate user

Scenario:
Coltor (Torkoal) @ Eject Pack
Ability: Drought
Level: 50
EVs: 220 Def / 252 SpA / 36 SpD
Modest Nature

VS

Incineroar @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def

Expected behavior: Both intimidate users are faster than Torkoal who's holding Eject Pack. Both Intimidate abilities should resolve normally, then Drought should activate and finally Eject Pack should trigger, leaving the Harsh sun.

Actual behavior: First intimidate resolves, right after the stats are lowered and before Drought activates Eject pack triggers, I bring the new Pokemon. Then the second intimidate triggers.

Here's a demo replay in SD: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8vgc2022-1597632990
Here's a video in Sword: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17WlqFa4r29DZMNdzQE6PSJ2Yx3xdcQG-/view?usp=sharing

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - MECHANICS (SERVER) Eject Pack is already known to have very incorrect timing on showdown (Karthik)
