VGC 2023 Series 1, Prankster user using Perish Song (Murkrow in this case) incorrectly affects Dark types. Shown on turn 1:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2023series1-1764871945

On cartridge, Good as Gold + Dark types are unaffected. Notice though that the user is affected even if they are Dark type (Murkrow).

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - Mechanics (Server)

Some secondary effects don't seem to work the turn when the pokemon is terastallizing. For example Mystical Fire from my Mismagius drop the SpA of the Florges on turn 20, but when the opponent use it's tera turn 21, Mystical Fire don't drop the SpA.
I didn't see this mechanic anywhere, so I think it's a bug.

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG : by becoming grass type, Florges' Flower Veil prevents the stats to be lowered.

A user discovered that the error message for snowscape when used in primordial sea. Instead of saying “there is no relief from the heavy rain”, which should be the intended error message, it says “the fire-type attack fizzled out in the heavy rain”, which is the intended message for an attacking fire type move failing in heavy rain. This does not happen for the weather setting abilities (including snow warning), and other moves such as sandstorm that would summon weather.

Upon further testing, it seems that this is the same for primordial sun, with the error message upon using snowscape being “the water-type attack evaporated in the harsh sunlight”, which is the intended message for attacking fire type moves failing in harsh sunlight, instead of the usual “the extreme harsh sunlight was not lessened at all”. This again does not repeat itself for any other weather setting abilities or moves.
Thanks for reading!

Last turn. Their last Pokemon incorrectly displayed as a ditto in the thumbnails. It was actually a Liepard.

 

[EL4701]

Recover and Softboiled now have only 8 PP, but hovering over them still displays that they allegedly have 32

 

[Zeuspoof]

Impossible sleep number after using yawn, probably visual bug, still interesting.
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1765964346-ymz07kuyuczpyc9uwmbs74ip8n9aa0dpw

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - Mechanics (Client): Sleep turns should reset when the Pokemon faints and later becomes revived

It counted revival blessing as switching and the damage doubled.

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, there is no game with Revival Blessing and Pursuit in it. You'd need to talk with National Dex mods to get the behavior changed (DaWoblefet)

For some unknown reason, trick rooms effects didn't work, and iron moth moved first every single time. Even my opponent was confused.

For some unknown reason, trick rooms effects didn't work, and iron moth moved first every single time. Even my opponent was confused.

NOT A BUG: Iron Moth's calculated speed is 1837, and 1837 > 1809. Due to the way Speed under Trick Room is calculated on cartridge games since Gen 5, Pokémon with over or exactly 1809 Spe go before Pokémon under 1809 Spe.

 

[Copen]

Using Revival Blessing in a gen3customgame softlocks you.

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, we don't guarantee support of modern moves in pastgen custom game formats (DaWoblefet)

 

[coral fan]

Sacred Sword should not be considered a Usually Useless Move, since it's a 90 base power move without recoil or recharge. This applies to both Gallade and Chien-Pao (image 1), as well as the unreleased Samurott and Zacian, in the Gen 9 OU format.
This also notably applies to Kartana in older gens' OUs, too (image 2).
(A comparable move would be Hyper Voice, which has the same base power and accuracy, no positive side-effect, is also in Gallade's movepool, is of a worse offensive typing if that's checked for, and yet isn't considered Usually Useless.)

 

[duckpond]

Commander Tatsugiri is unaffected by entry hazard when switching in and immediately getting eaten by a Dondozo on Pokémon Showdown
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2023series1-1767437026 (turn 4)
On console, it is affected instead and should get poisoned in the above scenario

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - MECHANICS (SERVER) - Commander is known to be way off in timing (Karthik)

BUG STATUS: FIXED (#2072)

 

[Xceloh]

Generation 6-8 are currently using the newer models from Generation 9, such as Mewtwo and Vaporeon

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, PS only has one directory for Gen 6+ animated models, which the new Gen 9 ones get added into as well. (Kris)

Zoroark disguised as ape being hit triggered a rage fist boost. Unsure if this is intended or not, due to illusion weirdness.

On turn 2, Orthworm uses Shed Tail while being Leech Seeded. This makes Leech Seed's battle effect go away (I believe correctly) but the visual of Leech Seed remains for the rest of the battle. Probably a simple issue of no flag turning off the Leech Seed graphic.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - Mechanics (Client): Let the animations play out fully without skipping to see this bug

 

[SmileWithCautioN]

Interaction between Protean and Copycat, doesn't change pokemon type to type of move copied, transforms pokemon into normal type instead.
In game interaction functions as follows:
pokemon with protean uses copycat, becomes type of the move used most recently, proceeds to then use said move.
This bug means that STAB cannot be applied for this turn and could result in losses where STAB would have made the difference.

(Please see image provided for proof of the interaction not functioning as intended).
Thanks team!

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - Mechanics (Server): source

Gen 9 Randoms - Hisuian Zoroark is showing up as Regular Zoroark in thumbnail previews prior to being revealed.

I neglected to save the replay or screenshot (my bad), but here's what happened:

-Opponent used Arcanine.
-Arcanine took damage.
-Opponent switches Arcanine out.
-Arcanine switches in later at full health.
-Opponent team preview reveals Regular Zoroark.
-I use Fighting move - no effect.
-I use Ground move - Hisuian Zoroark appears
-Opponent team preview now shows Hisuian Zoroark

Not a bug. The client can infer the existence of a Zoroark but won't know which one until it's actually revealed.

I think I'd personally rather have it not infer at all, but that's fine XD

I will adapt. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it's a bug but don't know for sure, but Bitter Blade doesn't work with Triage, as in it doesn't benefit from the bonus priority as Giga Drain and other offensive healing moves do
no Pokémon has this as a legal combination, so I understand why it went off radar and it's probably just something for Balanced Hackmons players, but still

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9customgame-1768564778

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, Bitter Blade doesn't get the heal flag that Triage checks for in-game. (Kris)

 

[DullVanessa]

Noticed a bug in the Teambuilder where Klawf cannot have Block and Orthworm cannot have Headbutt, despite the fact that the Former Titan versions of them that you can catch in SV normally have these moves.

BUG STATUS: FIXED

 

[oqwnM]

Florges outsped Hatterene in trick room. Unsure if it is some side effect of tera that I don't know about. I am positive I clicked Psyshock

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randombattle-1768796814 (Turn 14-16)

BUG STATUS - NOT A BUG, you clicked Trick Room again. (Kris)
