When playing games with Don't allow spectators setting turned on the server can generate room names that can't be invited into
ex: i got a game at https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/ba...-1675066470-pjrs32vil74qh7jajhgy0zaqfp3fggtpw but while trying to invite i got a " Please do not say 'fggt'. " message

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - CHAT (SERVER) it's accidentally thinking the battle URL contains a slur (DaWoblefet)

I think there is a bug related to Toxic in RBY and GSC. In gens 1 and 2, Toxic damage activates after a Pokemon moves, not at the end of the turn like in later generations. PS shows how much the next toxic tick will do, but if a Pokemon that is slower than the opponent uses Toxic, it will show the damage as if it was the turn after. As an example:

An Alakazam uses Psychic on a Chansey, and the Chansey uses and lands Toxic

Old Gens mechanics don't have Alakazam take damage here.

When you can choose your move turn two, if you hover over the Alakazam, it says that Toxic will do 12%, however when the turn happens and when Alakazam takes the toxic damage, it takes 6%. The 6% is right, its just how the display works.

Idk how much these replays will help, when I have more time I might try to get a screen recording of this, though it is easy to replicate. Tysm.

Gen 8 BSS Teambuilding is a huge headache

???
Probably some dubious inheritance error.

This is not just for roost either. Toxic is equally as frustrating to slot in BSS from the teambuilder.

Hope this can get fixed quickly, considering this is the current gen.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - TEAMBUILDER, same issue happens for VGC in the teambuilder. Both only allow Pokemon obtained in the generation they are played in (DaWoblefet)

I think it's a bug but I might be wrong or picky.

I created this Togekiss and I think it shouldn't be legal since it is female and shiny and knows the move detect which should be a transfer-only move from generation 2. In that generation shiny values are calculated differently and pokemon that have 1 in 7 chances of being female shouldn't be able to be both female and shiny at the same time so Togekiss shouldn't be able to have that move being female and shiny.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - LEGALITY, see this section on Bulbapedia for a good explanation (DaWoblefet)

This is super minor, but clicking the "Guessed Spread" button in the Gen 1 Teambuilder changes the "Spc" for Special to "SpA" for Special Attack in the stat spread screen next to the selected moves.

Edit: fixed a typo

Got a "Pokemon Showdown crashed!" notification after using "/sampleteams removecategory nationaldexmonotype, electric".

Adding some additional context - a subsequent command of /sampleteams removecategory gen8nationaldexmonotype, electric worked. There were teams for that format in that category prior to running both commands.

For whatever an eternatus that’s shiny is turned away from the teambuilder despite getting an event and being legal on another team

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, at least not server side. From what I can tell in the screenshots, the Eternatus in the first picture has 0 atk ivs, while the Eternatus in the second picture has 31 atk ivs. The shiny Eternatus event has 31 ivs in every stat, which is what makes the first one illegal and the second one legal.

There's a bug in the teambuilder with ditto.
If you don't change the hidden power from the default option (dark), the hidden power you're gonna get is going to be always dragon.
This fixes itself when you manually change the hidden power in the teambuilder.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - TEAMBUILDER, for whatever reason, Ditto's default IVs are 31/30/31/31/31/31 (DaWoblefet)

/learn with hidden abilities seems to return results inconsistent with what can be legitimately obtained.

/learn pikachu, followme, hidden:
Screenshot 2022-10-12 092213.png
Pikachu can only learn Follow Me from a Gen 3 event, which due to being from Gen 3, cannot have its hidden ability. However, move compatibility with hidden abilities should not be a problem in Gen 8 due to the Ability Patch, and so origins from Gens 3 and 4 should be returned.

/learn pikachu, extremespeed, hidden, gen7:
Screenshot 2022-10-12 092915.png
This is a false positive. This event Pikachu was not given with its hidden ability, and so should not be able to have its hidden ability until Gen 8. It seems as if the hidden parameter only removes Gen 3 and 4 origins and does not attempt to check if the events are valid.

"Stat boosts must be preceded with `boosts` , and stat-lowering moves with `lowers `; e.g., `boosts attack` searches for moves that boost the Attack stat of either Pokémon."

This is part of the /ms description. The part here that is mainly relevant is lowers and either Pokémon.

Each of the /nms lowers [stat] command is missing the following:

Attack: Superpower
Defense: Clanging Scales, Close Combat, Dragon Ascent, Hyperspace Fury, Scale Shot, Superpower, V-Create
Special Attack: Draco Meteor, Fleur Cannon, Leaf Storm, Overheat, Psycho Boost
Special Defense: Close Combat, Dragon Ascent, V-Create
Speed: Curse, Hammer Arm, Ice Hammer, V-Create

This bug also extends to several moves which boost stats, such as Skull Bash, Stockpile, Gear Up, Rototiller, Flower Shield, Stuff Cheeks, and Rage.
 
you can filter items by fling base power but you can't sort them:

I assume this is unintentional since afaik all the other parameters that you can filter by are also sortable.

Continued from here

Anyways, it has come to attention that there may be an unintended information leak in PS, as there's seemingly some "hidden" code that allows extensions like Showdex to reveal the ability of the opponent when that'd be an illegal detail, for more details I'm just going to quote myself:

Say, Core Enforcer suppresses abilities, if a Imposter mon switches into the suppressed mon afterwards, hovering on it will just say that its ability is "(suppressed)", however, while it effectively has no ability, the ability the user would have appears in Showdex, which is relevant as one of the main appeals of Imposter is scouting the opponent's set, and being able to see more than in normal circumstances with Showdex can easily raise red flags, unless the capability to see the ability the user would have in such cases is just a feature yet to be added to Pokémon Showdown.
Click to expand...

Here's a replay where that happens, and here's a screenshot for clarity:

2022-10-14.png

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - MECHANICS (CLIENT), although the Ability is suppressed, it should be viewable at all times - you can always view your own Ability. Showdex is taking advantage of the fact that the server is sending the correct protocol, but the client is being buggy and not displaying what the Ability in fact is. This information should be known (DaWoblefet)

visual bug:

when playing against zoroark, at some point all the revealed infos about zoroark + pokemon it imitates just vanish and leave a blank field. things had been revealed from both pokemon (zoroark / zapdos) as you can see in battlechat (+ more earlier but this is already proof enough) and were shown regularly but when my opponent switched between the two, all info vanished.

i'd assume this is not intended.

BUG STATUS: NEEDS MORE INFO, the particular replay for this to be reproduced (DaWoblefet)

Hi,
Im not 100% certain this is necessarily a bug but it is very frustrating for me. When you’re in the middle in the battle on a phone, and you change from data to wifi it disconnects you from the game but doesn’t tell you you’re disconnected. This results in you just doing your moves like normal and waiting for the opponent to also select his moves, which never happens, because you’re not connected. You have to completely restart the website if you want the actual “disconnected” message to show up which lets you reconnect, and by the time you do that usually one minute has passed and you automatically lose and the game is not findable anymore in the drop down menu. It is important to note i run the game on IOS and using the “add to home screen” option which possibly changes some things compared to just running it in regular safari.

BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - CHAT (SERVER), it's probably recognizing you're still "connected", just not the right one. In general, I'd recommend you avoid changing networks mid-game like this (DaWoblefet)

In the Gen 7 Teambuiler, when I click on sample set containing a Hidden Power type, it gives the the hidden power IVs that corresponded to the type in Gen 6. For example, if I click on the Life Orb Kyurem-Black sample set(which contains HP Fire, it gives me 30 Speed IVs. This isn't how HP works in Gen 7, so I believe this is a bug. This only happens when you click on a sample set, NOT when you enter HP Fire manually.
Here's a screenshot

In the Teambuilder for gens 3-7, if a Pokemon has the moves Dragon Rage or Sonic Boom, Teambuilder will give the user an EV spread with SpA EVs, even if the Pokemon does not know any other special moves.
