BUG defog/rapid spin

[Ericgv]

Why hells my defog/rapid spin isnt cleanning the field? it's a bug? i lost 2/3 matchs on this way...

You can check back the replay, screenshot the turn within the battle log where you think it's bugged to make the situation clearer

[Raika]

What, did you Rapid Spin the Rocky Helmet Skarm and die cause of that?

[Doubleh]

Maybe you defog to a protect, which will not work (because defog need a target, and a mon use protect/detect cannot be targeted)

I saw the replay and really doesnt worked... I did Rapid Spin in Alakazam, he used Shadow Ball on my Starmie. Left some HP for Rapid Spin and dont cleanned the field!

There is the issue.  Magic guard Alakazam.

Hey there,

 

The key to this is Mega Alakazam traced the iron barbs, and when the Starmie used rapid spin, the hazard was not removed because the rapid spinner (Starmie) fainted in the same turn. Since the interaction is intended, no bug is involved! 

 

Let me know if need clarification or you have any other questions,
