I did several experiment with my Deerling, who has leftovers and double edge, and i discovered that every time i do double edge with the leftovers held, i take 1st the normal amount of recoil damage, then the recoil message pops and i retake an amount of damage equal to the heal of leftover that comes just after.

If i take out the leftover recoil works just fine.

 

I also notice the same little recoil (= to leftover's heal) thing with the move explosion used by oponent and leftovers held by my poke. Tho i couldn't reproduce the experiment many times so i'm not sure about this but better check if you can.

I agree to the first thing about the extra damage I think it happens to every pokemon though.

yeah i also think it happens to every pokemon but as it's a bug report i had to be precise because we never know what a bug can hide :)

Not sure but i think i have to same when i use flare blitz on my charizard. Need to retest and confirm.

without leftovers ?

I don't remember exactly if i had leftovers or no, i'll test it asap and tell you :)

ok, i'm looking forward in your experiments thanks for participating

I have the same problem here with leftlover and recoil or enemy explosion.

Yeah, I've noticed that too a long time ago to be honest, didn't know if it was a glitch or something on purpose. But everytime I use recoil damage moves + leftovers it's like the heal from leftover is useless, since we take it's heal damage after the actual recoil real damage. Simple math example to help people understand:

100hp *uses recoil move* (-20hp from recoil) = 80hp -16hp (??? Idk where this damage comes from) = 64hp +16hp (leftover healing that damage coming from nowhere) = 80hp (as it should be without using leftover)

I'm glad seeing that you guys also saw this issue, i hope a staff member will look up at this thread soon !
