In this battle, at turn 17 my toxapex gets hit with a bolt beak from a dracozolt that absolutely outsped me in electric terrain and yet manages to take only 80% of it's damage in health. After winning the battle I went to the damage calculator to see how this was possible.

252 Atk Hustle Dracozolt Bolt Beak (170 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex in Electric Terrain: 554-654 (182.2 - 215.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Maybe he wasn't using hustle for whatever reason?

252 Atk Dracozolt Bolt Beak (170 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex in Electric Terrain: 372-438 (122.3 - 144%) -- guaranteed OHKO

So maybe he forgot to ev his dracozolt (And chose the wrong ability). Which is very unlikely, but even I occasionally make that mistake.

0 Atk Dracozolt Bolt Beak (170 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex in Electric Terrain: 294-348 (96.7 - 114.4%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO after Black Sludge recovery

Even with him doing everything wrong the lowest damage he can do is 97% or so. The toxapex surviving with 20% of it's health less should absolutely not be possible.

0- Atk Dracozolt Bolt Beak (170 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex in Electric Terrain: 264-312 (86.8 - 102.6%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO after Black Sludge recovery

Even with a nature that reduces his attack he still can't get 80%. I highly doubt this even would even occur, anyways.

In team builder, I noticed there was a below PU tier and a ZU option while selecting the format for a team. I built a team for ZU but once I tried to select ZU in the main screen for a battle, that option didn't exist. I Don't know if it is a bug or it simply hasn't "released" yet.

Since you used Baneful Bunker, you moved first even though it failed, thus Bolt Beak's power wasn't doubled. Though he must have been some kind of weird spread, maybe Magnet Jolly :
252 Atk Magnet Dracozolt Bolt Beak (85 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex in Electric Terrain: 222-264 (73 - 86.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery

Unsure this is relevant and I'm really sorry if this isn't the place to mention this.

It appears that Ripen "activates" on Leftovers on cartridge (As in, it is shown but does not properly double the healing from leftovers)

I cannot provide a recent source but I'm confident it hasn't been fixed (do they ever fix stuff like this ?), but I instead got various older sources.
Sword and Shield Battle Mechanics Research thread
Twitter Video of it activating
A Reddit post about it

However it appears that Ripen does not ""activate"" (even though it has no effect) on here and as in does not reveal itself as shown here

It's not necessarily that weird. Scarf 252 Jolly would have also been in range of that.

I can confirm that the damage is within the expected range for the sets used.

So I'm not sure if there's anyway this can be fixed, but I'll post regardless.

So a lot of times I tend to use Showdown on mobile, and a lot of times what ends up happening is that when I have an ad on the front page, and I interact on other things like chatrooms or team builder, the ad will shift over the Format and Team buttons. It basically forces me to refresh everytime and I'm not sure if it's my phone that's bugging or what. It's just been such a common occurrence that I'd like to find out why it keeps happening.

On turn 4, right after my scarfed-ditto-turned-kommo got disabled, I couldn't dynamax with the ditto. Is that a bug? I was able to dynamax later and use two different moves with my scarfed-ditto-turned-kommo.

I believe this is an expected interaction. In-game, you can only Dynamax from the move selection screen - but the move selection screen is skipped outright if you can only use Struggle (unlike Showdown, where you have to select Struggle explicitly), so you can't Dynamax in that situation. Dynamaxing does bypass both Choice locks and Disable, which is why you were able to use two different moves later, but it can't be used to begin with if you have no valid moves. C:

When selecting an item, if you type to it shows toxic orb twice, even though when you add the x one disappears.

When selecting an item, if you type to it shows toxic orb twice, even though when you add the x one disappears.

Just to explain why this happens (though whether it should be is a different story), "to" appears both in the name "Toxic orb" and in the description. "this item attempts to badly poison the user." So if you typed Tox, it filters out the description match, and if you typed "to b" it'll filter out the name match. I don't think it's a bug per se.

 

[Inspirited]

Gen 4 Lunar Dance (and I assume Healing Wish) healed a Heatran (the order of hazards to healing is correct here), the healed Heatran got phazed by Skarmory on the same turn (this is also mechanically correct), but the Groudon that was dragged in also received healing (this all happened on Turn 24).

Hello,

In the "Gen 8, VGC2020" format, ever since the addition of Pokemon Home, illegal movesets are appearing in search for hundreds of different Pokemon.

So for example, when I search for the move "Roost", Togekiss shows up as a possible Pokemon that can learn it.

But when I add Togekiss to my team and attempt to give it the move Roost, it says it is "illegal", which it is.

The search function shouldn't show movesets that are illegal/impossible to learn within the legal format. Please fix this as it makes it very difficult to teambuild for new players who may not know every move that a pokemon can learn, thank you so much!

Please refer to this replay - my question is about damage from an attack:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-1096132840

On turn 19 I question the damage that was possible with non-crit Flamethrower.
I am the player with Miltank; it is Thick Fat. I do a damage calc and the strongest that non-crit Flamethrower could possibly do to the Miltank w/ the EVs I had is 26.9 - 31.7% (charcoal +252) <-- But I am not sure what EVs thatTyphlosion had...but anyway.. how come it did 48.7%? I would think that is not possible. Am I forgetting something?

Sunny Day was up the turn before, but it faded at the end of that turn (Turn 18).
There was also at the end of turn 18 (after "harsh sunlight faded") the sequence where the Flygon fainted after Lefties , then Poison, and that led to Miltank coming out right at that point.

Just really damn curious if this is a glitch that had to do with the unusual things that Turn 18 had going on?

Thanks!

Woble edit: confirming that Thick Fat just didn't get applied for some reason.

I appear to have Baton Passed not just Vaporeon's stat buffs, but its item (Octillery has Choice Band), ability (Octillery has Suction Cups), and raw stats as well.

Refer to this replay for the suspected bug: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8sharedpower-1096666431

The match was proceeding as normal until Turn 122 where the system auto-forfeited the match for myself (shwunny) during a Ranked Battle on ladder. Nothing abnormal had occurred during the match preceding this event.

I've noticed whilst playing doubles that Wandering Spirit doesn't activate when being hit by a teammates move? I'm confident this interaction works in-game so I was wondering if it was something that could be implemented at some point?
The example I can give is using Crawdaunt to Aqua Jet into Runerigus to give it Adaptability or Diggersby to U-turn into it to give Huge Power.

Your Runerigus was probably Dynamaxed, which prevents Skill Swap effects like Wandering Spirit from triggering.

Haze does not target the opponent, so should not be blocked by queenly majesty. This mechanic has been correct in the past.

 

[NavierStokes]

In VGC2020/Gen 8, Eject Button should not trigger Symbiosis. In the example below, Oranguru should not give its Weakness Policy to Weezing. I can provide videos from cartridge if necessary, however, this is stated on Bulbapedia as changed in gen 7.


The opposing Sylveon used Hyper Voice!
It's not very effective on Weezing.
(Weezing lost 22.1% of its health!)
(Oranguru lost 21.3% of its health!)
Weezing is switched out with the Eject Button!
[Oranguru's Symbiosis]
Oranguru shared its Weakness Policy with Weezing!

Life Orb damage did not trigger Emergency Exit. If this is the case, can this please be added to the ability's description, if not, this has happened in other battles to. Thanks.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8sharedpower-1097211665 Haze is also being affected by Pressure now, so it seems as though it is in fact targeting opposing Pokemon for some reason.

I got a spikes kill when the opponent switched in Muk, and they then switched in Metagross. After Metagross came on the field, my Clefable didn't move at all. No text saying it was paralyzed or anything, just didn't get a turn. Are Pokemon allowed to move at all (for example, I used softboiled) after they get a spikes kill?
