i believe when my persian alolan spatk and atk reach it limit the opponent would still have to switch out rather than staying in like shown in the image

Hello @Karyyy,

 

Thanks for making a report. This is the correct behavior in Generation 7. If Parting Shot is unable to affect the target's stats, the user will not switch out.

If you suspect something is bugged, always feel free to make another report in the future.

 

Best regards,
