What type of bug are you reporting? Unsure
What is the bug?
IN BATTLE, PURELY VISUAL
Replay: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9doublesubers-2348793155 (maximising the attack stat)
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9doublesubers-2348765787 (all pokemon have slow start according to the display, minimising speed stat)
When I used skill swap with Regigigas, the ability would still show as Slow Start when hovering over it.
When I used skill swap with Deoxys, the ability would still show as Pressure when hovering over it.
This does not happen with the pokemon that used skill swap.
My best guess is that when it "confirms" the ability for the opponent (i.e. replaces "Possible Abilities: " with "Ability: " after it is revealed), it also stops the user's display from updating in the future (e.g. Deoxys pressure get activated: ability only shows as pressure now).
As shown in the image, regigigas is not effected by slow start due to skill swap being used, however the ability still shows as slow start despite being changed.
Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
I used Deoxys (pressure) and Medicham (pure power) in a double uber battle, then medicham used skill swap.
