Confusion passed on with Batton Pass

[Lauda]

I recently experienced a bug with one of the hard bosses Chuck in safron.

 

During a fight versus the hard boss Chuck, his Machamp hit me with Dynamic punch. I am already aware that Machamp's ability "No Guard"

After removing no guard with Worryseed, his Dynamic punches seemed to work a lot differently, where the confusion would appear several rounds after the initial hit of Dynamic punch.

 

In this case, I was aware that my pokemon had been struck previously with dynamic punch however the confusion wouldn't appear on my pokemon's status as it normally would. My Furret continued to use its moves as if it wasn't confused. Once I reached the state where my Furret had maxed its stats with the attack Coil, Agility and Amnesia I used Batton Pass into my Haxorus. His Machamp missed its attacks against my Haxorus but my Haxorus appeared as if it was confused.

This made my Haxorus hurt itself without taking a hit from Dynamic punch.

 

 

This obviously led to me losing the rather easy battle against Chuck and missing my shot at beating him.

 

I would like it if someone can take a look at this and fix this potential bug, as this is a sad way to lose.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to create any footage, as I had no idea that this could even happen.

 

Best regards

Hello @lauda !

 

I am sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused you.

 

I have had a player use a similar strategy, using Baton Pass to buff another Pokemon. They had used status moves until their Pokemon was not confused anymore, then Baton Passed. The Pokemon that came in was not confused, and was freely able to attack.

 

As the status of Confusion WILL BE passed through Baton Pass, which is how Confusion and Baton Pass work in the original games, are you certain that the Dynamic Punch did not land on Furret at most 3 turns before Baton Passing, or your Haxorus was hit the turn it had switched in through Baton Pass?

 

Please do not hesitate to reply, or ask any questions. As such, I'll be waiting for your reply.
