Hello there, @Soberbia

 

Sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing. After seeing your report, I tried reproducing the whole scenario you explained above, but with not that much of a success. Let me remind you once again what Rocky Helmet item does:

ROCKY HELMET: If the holder of this item takes damage, the attacker will also be damaged upon

contact.

 

Overheat is not a contact move after Generation III (Three), therefore they shouldn't trigger Rocky Helmet.

I would appreciate if you could provide me with a video of the said move triggering Rocky helmet, so that I can forward this as a bug. For now, the evidence is insufficient and I cannot do anything more about it. As for Grass Knot, it is a contact move as you may see in the guide I linked above, so it's normal for Rocky helmet to recoil damage to the user.

 

Looking forward for any news from you regarding this topic. Have a good day!
