It's pretty simple. When Ferrothorn uses Protect, the opposing pokemon still take Iron Barbs damage if using a contact move.

Came to post this. Can confirm it happens.

Edit: I also just faced a Talonflame against my Ferrothorn. I used Protect while the Talonflame used Flare Blitz and as a result the Talonflame took Recoil damage and Iron Barbs damage. This should not happen.

Seems u discovered so many bugs. Im afraid ferrothorn would get banned becuase of this "iron barbs" bugged ability. :confused:

So it lost like half of its hp lol?

 

If that's the case, Protect on Ferrothorn should probably get banned =/ (or maybe just Protect in general)

It could ruin the tournament afterall.
