What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
I tried to use skill swap with Indeedee with Psychic Surge to Toxapex's merciless and the result was that both pokemon had Psychic Surge

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
yes I have tried it 3 times and every time the same thing happens

Could you send a replay where this happens?

Skill Swap doesn't announce abilities when you swap with your own ally, so the client can't update its tooltips correctly, unless both abilities naturally auto-announce anyway.
