Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I can't tell for sure the nature of the glitch, but it doesn't seem that proto/quark boost given from baton pass works at all. they show the mark on the Pokémon and on its stats, but It doesn't seem it change anything from an unboosted Pokémon
Their Pelipper is 251 speed, boosted by tailwind which makes 502 in total, and I'm choice scarf chi-yu and the proto boost, but the game seems to only applies the choice scarf
BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - MECHANICS (CLIENT) Not recieving the protosynthesis boost is correct as baton pass can’t pass that, but the volatile tag should’ve been removed (Karthik)
Mega Pokemon lose their Mega Evolution upon fainting on cartridge, but due to an oversight, Revival Blessing allows them to keep their Mega Evolution. This is not the case in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon cartridge. When a Pokemon faints with Mega Evolution, it reverts to base form and cannot re-trigger Mega Evolution for the remainder of the battle should it get revived via an item. This is relevant in National Dex Anything Goes.
Bug: Ruin abilities (Sword of Ruin, Tablets of Ruin, etc.) shouldn't affect anyone who also has the same Ability, but they do.
According to Bulbapedia, Pokemon with Sword of Ruin and its variations are immune to the same Ability, but e.g. Sword of Ruin mons are not immune to Tablets of Ruin mons.
Tested with a Chien-Pao and a Hypno in Partners in Crime, and in Doubles OU. Due to the former OM's mechanics, both Chien-Pao and Hypno have Sword of Ruin at the same time.
Chien-Pao @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sword of Ruin
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 212 Atk / 44 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 9 Spe
- Crunch
Hypno @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Insomnia
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Role Play
Before doing both tests, I made sure to precisely calculate so that if Hypno has Sword of Ruin, it can't get OHKO'd by Chien-Pao's Crunch, but the move is guaranteed to OHKO if Hypno doesn't have Sword of Ruin, and that Hypno outspeeds Chien-Pao.
To simulate this, I changed Chien-Pao's Ability, and not Hypno's.
If Hypno has Sword of Ruin:
If Hypno does not have Sword of Ruin:
If the Abilities were already coded like that, Hypno would have not been OHKO'd (in both battles).
All this means that this is a server bug (Showdown-cartridge discrepancy).
Left clicking on the replay link in the uploaded prompt does not open the replay as expected. I feel like this is a bug because I remember it working differently a few years ago.
Example: If I click the link here it takes me back to the battle room and I have to middle click or right click to open the replay instead.
BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - Chat (Client): The client automatically converts replay. links to pop it into a new room instead, and in this case it's just making you join the room it's already in. This should be changed for this particular popup.
Bug regarding Pursuit + Revival Blessing, Pursuit doesnt hit Chandelure on turn 28 after getting revived, on turn 22 it works fine
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)
If I use Power Split on an opponent I can't see my actual stat changing and that's fine because I can't know the Ivs and Evs of my opponent, but it doesn't make sense that if I use Power Split on my other Pokémon in Doubles it still doesn't show the change, I know the Ivs and Evs of my 2 mons so I see no problem in showing the actual "updated" value in that case.
encore currently fails if used after being dragged in by a phazing move, seen here
according to beelzemon's testing this is correct in stadium 2 (except when the encore user was in during a roar/ww fail), and would have to be handled accordingly when changed correct behavior, encore works
i forgot to put the roar fail case in the video but obviously encore works either way lol. ty waterwizard for mentioning this
BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - Mechanics (Server)
To reproduce, the Dragon Darts user should click the Pokemon that isn't holding Eject Button. Reproduction + Input Log (latest master at time of edit) | DDarts Documentation by Anubis
When using a same type move with spirigatito, like flower trick it changes its type to grass and ends up consuming the protean buff, but doesnt do the same with libero on cinderace.

Protean and Libero don't activate if they won't actually end up changing the Pokemon's type. Because Cinderace is pure Fire by default, it can freely use Pyro Ball without using up Libero.
the user always faints first, regardless of TR being up or not. if 2 pokemon are left and both die as a result of you using final gambit, you lose the battle.
The description of Transform indicates that gender changes to that of the target. However, as currently implemented, gender does not change (as indicated by Annihilape's successful Attract on turn 4 of the replay).

This isn't a bug - if a mon is dual-typed it will change to a single-type due to protean. But if a mon is already single-typed, it can't change and won't consume protean.
Not sure if it's a bug considering that GriseousOrb was replaced by GriseousCore and the latter does NOT get Knocked Off. Still don't understand why both items are still in the games though... So either the mechanics changed from Gen8 to Gen9 or it's bug.
BUG STATUS: NOT A BUG, The Griseous Orb was changed to work exactly like the Adamant and Lustrous Orb’s, which have been able to be knocked off since Gen 4. Both items are in the game because the Core forces Giratina to be in its Origin forme while the Orb allows Altered Giratina to get the boost. (Karthik)

The only ability popups that should play here are for Gossifleur's Cotton Down in both cases. (video 1 with enemies alive to be debuffed, video 2 with everyone else on the field having Mirror Armor)
