Prankster vs dark types

[Outlaw609]

I noticed while doing my boss run that the game is currently allowing dark types to be affected by prankster induced status moves. In the past such status moves would fail against dark types, as intended. Obviously the fact that they work now is a bug, and as such I am reporting it.

 

Specifically, it was mega banette's destiny bond that I got to work against a tyranitar (Thor iirc)

 

Cheers,

Hello @Outlaw609,

 

Thanks for making a report. As you have noted, since Generation 7, Dark types are immune to moves affected by Prankster.

Keep in mind this only applies to moves that target the Dark type. Destiny Bond is not a move that targets a Pokemon, so in this scenario Destiny Bond will not fail and the interaction is correct. Once again thanks for reaching out, and don't hesitate to make another report in the future.

 

Regards,
MagicBounce
