What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics
What is the bug?
In 4 generation, when a pokémon uses Counter when holding a resist berry the damage that take the other pokémon is the same that does if that berry isn't present. I tested in console and battling in battle tower I used a nidoking with counter + shuca berry. I faced a Miltank and a regirock with eartqhuake and the two mons used the move against my nidoking. Nidoking receives LESS than 75 HP damage and OHKOes both at full health. Of course, both mons have more than 150 HP at level 50.
This should be considered as a glitch in the game like this examples:

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
However, don't see a reason to implement this mechanic in pokémon showdown.

If playing the original game, Regirock is taken 166 HP (with shuca is 83 but the game counts the damage for counter without shuca berry) and does 332 damage OHKOing Tauros.
Not sure if this happen in link battles but in battle tower happens.
Obviously, I don't see a reason to implement this mechanic, but in the original game this is what happens.
