C&P'd from my_man's thread here
When this Pokemon has more than 1/2 its maximum HP and takes damage from an attack bringing it to 1/2 or less of its maximum HP, its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed are raised by 1 stage, and its Defense and Speed Special Defense are lowered by 1 stage.

The description accidentally uses Spe instead of SpD, which would make the move +Atk +SpA -Def instead of +Atk +Spa +Spe -Def -SpD.

Intrepid Sword only activates once per game in Gen 9.

I had a teambuilder bug happen twice now where all tera types of all mons of all teams unintentionally reset to the default one. I use the latest version of Opera.

Revival blessing can break the game and make moves unelectable for the user. Also a revived poekmon with terablast can continue to use their tera-type blast despite not being tera.

Using the move Hail in National Dex summons the weather Hail instead of Snow. Not sure if this is intended because Hail was removed but in Natdex old moves are still useable.

Replay shows Hail being used on turn 11 and then killing Melmetal on turn 12.

In Gen 9 National Dex AG, Rayquaza knowing Dragon Ascent cannot Terastalyze even if Mega Rayquaza Clause is activated. However, in Gen 8, Rayquaza can Dynamax under the same conditions. The expected behavior was to have Rayquaza able to use Terastal in this scenario.

on Turn 19, Farigiraf was able to protect against Urshifu, but the ability should have prevented that from happening.

Not sure if its a bug but Slither Wing consumed its booster energy despite being under sunny weather:

BUG STATUS: FIXED (#9211)

I assume Urshifu had Punching Glove. Unlike Protective Pads, Punching Glove doesn't just avoid adverse effects from contact, it actually causes the move to not make contact.

 

[Waterser]

Booster Energy is either buggy or unintuitive

On Quark Drive (Electric terrain) only activates once the Terrain is gone
But on Protosynthesis it activates on switch-in even if the Sun is active

[Lasen]

linking Paradox Pokemon with /analysis [pokemon], gen9, uber automatically goes to their OU page. This doesn't happen with one-word names such as Glimmora or Masquerain, where it links properly.

Can't find a commit for it but looks like this was fixed

 

[AvisSR]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1747882771 there seems to be a visual bug involving using revival blessing on a Pokémon that terastallized, with the newly revived Pokémon still having the type icon next to it’s name despite being no longer terastallized

 

[GritzStelly]

For some reason, I did not take life orb damage during this battle
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9randombattle-1749755229

My landorus had sheer force and Life orb

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, Sheer Force prevents Life Orb recoil (but still gets the Life Orb boost) when using a Sheer Force compatible move (Karthik)

Report 1: Lycanroc did not take sandstorm chip damage despite being Tera-Ghost. I believe that he should have taken chip damage.
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2023series1-1749906381

Report 2: Forgot to save the replay. I used Salt Cure on a Tera-Water Goodra. This Goodra only took 1/8th chip damage when it should have taken 1/4th chip damage.

The Lycanroc likely had Sand Rush, which gives an immunity to sand damage.

So this appears to be a visual bug, if ditto transforms into a tera'd pokemon in gen 9 randoms battles, it shows the tera type, but it actually has the base type(s). Turn 16 shows the example.

Ghost types in gen 3 aren't immune to fighting right now. All of their other immunities and resistances seem to work fine, and this seems to only affect gen 3 as well. This is obviously extremely relevant competitively so please look into it soon. Thanks in advance.

opp rotated from having 3 liepards and 2 dittos to 4 liepards and 1 ditto, it kept on doing weird stuff, is this just a visual bug or?
look at transition to turn 69 to 70

Gigaton Hammer x Encore
https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen9uu-1750542233
At turn 18 Tinkaton used Gigaton Hammer, then at turn 19 it was supposed to use Struggle since this move can't be used twice in a roll. I think this is a mechanical problem because at turn 20 Tinkaton is obligated to use Struggle, so it doesn't match with Encore's data. It's not a sequence of 3 gigaton hammers if gigaton hammer > encore. Or if encore > gigaton hammer this should work as gigaton hammer - struggle - gigaton hammer, not gigaton hammer - gigaton hammer - struggle.

s/o by JoaoCookie☾ and Namagderaz by founding this bug and Repu by helping me with translating

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, Gigaton Hammer is only disabled from being selected, not from being used twice in a row. The Encore forced Tinkaton to use Gigaton Hammer on the turn it was used, then Tinkaton struggled the turn after because Gigaton Hammer was disabled but that is the only move it was allowed to use (Karthik)

funny ps bug

screech failing cuz amulet caused darts to think chomp was immune then doubled ttar im guessing

BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, Garchomp had Sand Veil, as you can see on turn 5 when it evaded an Energy Ball (urkerab)

 

[lhy046]

Protean used Copycat should changes the Pokémon's type to the type of the mimicked move instead of the type of Copycat

Turn 13, Revival Blessing revives Ting-Lu to only about a quarter health instead of full. It previously revived Gholdengo to half as intended, though.

I will note that based on my vague recollection, Gholdengo was revived to 140 HP, and so was the Ting-Lu.

Had a Meowscrada with Choice Vs an Unburdened Sneasler, the Sneasler had already used its item and should have out sped my Meowscrada but instead was slower. Thinking Unburdened on Sneasler might not be working properly at the moment.

 

[DerpySuX]

I’m not too familiar with all the gen 9 stuff I’ll admit but I thought covert cloak blocked secondary effects of moves. Does this not apply to trapping moves (fire spin, etc)?
