What is the bug?
Follow-up on Ability Error:


Issue appears to be with Wandering Spirit's interactions with other abilities (excluding abilities not affected such as Wonder Guard)

Karthik you fixed the last one, perhaps you know what's causing this as well?

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Yes, by simply triggering the effects of Wandering Spirit.

I don't know for sure yet, but I think the issue is that Wandering Spirit needs to be implemented more like Skill Swap (and therefore not use setAbility). I will double check this later.
 
Those are client-side problems and they're all the same issue, you don't need to keep reporting them. Wandering Spirit has a different, server-side, bug and needs to be implemented like Skill Swap.

I'll fix the Wandering Spirit bug tomorrow and Karthik can have fun with the client issues :)) He is working on a refactor for setting abilities, so let's wait.

Turn 5: ability messages going haywire after tapu koko w/ e-surge uturns on a runerigus w/ wandering spirit

Tapu Koko used U-turn!
It's not very effective...
(The opposing Runerigus lost 6% of its health!)
[Tapu Koko's Electric Surge]
[Tapu Koko's Wandering Spirit]
Tapu Koko acquired Wandering Spirit!
[The opposing Runerigus's Wandering Spirit]
[The opposing Runerigus's Electric Surge]
[Tapu Koko's Wandering Spirit]
The opposing Runerigus swapped Abilities with its target!

[The opposing Runerigus's Electric Surge]
The opposing Runerigus acquired Electric Surge!

Can we include a test to detect this in advance this time, or perhaps our tests just failed to catch an edge case here?
 
Fixed on next hotpatch/restart (note for tours players: main and smogtours are separate servers, they each need their own patch/reboot to apply this fix).
