So this just happened to me in a game. Idk if this is a bug or a mechanic I don't know about. But I had tuaros out vs my opponent's machamp. Neither of us were statused. I used hyper beam, and he used low kick. The next turn my recharge was completely skipped and I was able to attack. Anyone know why? Only thing I can think of is maybe something funny happened with low kick's flinch effect? idk.

Low kick flinched, which clears the recharge flag but shows no message because Tauros had already moved.

This is what I was thinking. I thought flinch could only take effect if the pokemon using the flinch inducing move was faster. That's why I was confused. I don't even understand how this would work unless, unbeknownst to most, recharge effectively acts as a third move within the turn after your opponent attacks?

EDIT: Just looked through the thread, and a few posts back was another user asking the same thing I did, as they were in the same situation. Apparently it isn't a bug, but can we get actual confirmation that this is how cartridge works? Is there a thread detailing this anywhere?
