Cloud Nine isn't always negating Desolate Land. git bisect shows the regression happened in c2a033ba1eabfdf583f64d8a5e9a0ef2cc95dded

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?

I just tested this with a friend, and it appears that switching in PDon when Trick Room is up makes Desolate Land immune to negation from both Cloud Nine and Air Lock.

I then tested it with other Field Effects, and only TR had this effect, and only if you switch in PDon when TR is up.

This appears to be some obscure interaction between trick room and ability suppression. Probably something calling the End event for cloud nine when it shouldn't. End should NOT be getting triggered unless the ability holder is being swapped out/KOed or similar cloud nine should not longer be in effect basically).

It could also be something else, unsure. Will look into it later.

example2 has no trick room tho

Oh, I see the issue. The ending status of the ability never gets unset, so as soon as Golduck switches out once, its ability turns off for the rest of the match.
