What type of bug are you reporting? Client
What is the bug?
In generations 7+, the current Ability of a Pokemon should always be shown to the player due to Y-info etc. displaying that information to the player. This is sometimes not displayed on Showdown.
Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Abilities that announce themselves are typically the biggest offender, usually combined with Skill Swap on an ally since that doesn't print the swapped Abilities in battle. Example here with Gothitelle using Skill Swap on Zygarde. Zygarde should display Shadow Tag, since the Zygarde player always knows what it's current Ability is at the start of a turn like this.
