Euginken Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Have recently came back to the game and pvped. Was encountering a ferrothorn today in rank and swapped in my dragonite for a DD setup. Was thunder-waved and my lum berry did not activate. Subsequently when I was trying to setup my DD gyarados on the ferrothorn it was also thunder-waved with lum berry not activating. This is the first time it occured and I'm not sure exactly how come? The previous Pokémon which was taken out before the ferrothorn came in was Machamp but it was facing my Donphan so lum berries on dragonite and gyarados are still intack. I'm certain neither Machamp or ferrothorn has a unnerved ability. Could someone advice me on what may have happened so that I could avoid making the same mistake.

Shaui Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 -snip- Hey there, Euginken! I am sorry to hear about this inconvenience. Lum berries should indeed activate after your pokemon gets inflicted with a status, as long as your pokemon are holding the berries, and there are no abilities preventing the berries from being used. In the scenario that you have described above, what you have experienced is a bug. I have went ahead and moved your post to the Battle System Bugs sub-forum so that it may receive the proper attention. Do you also happen to have any videos that you could include with this post to help us pin-point the bug? Thanks, and I wish you good luck in your future battles! :) [glow=green]-Moved to Proper Place-[/glow] Until we meet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Euginken, I tested three different scenarios with a t-wave using ferrothorn vs gyarados 1. lead ferro | lead gyarados twave | icefang lum berry activates 2. lead ferro | lead nincada twave | switch to gyarados lum berry activates 3. lead ferro | lead gyarados twave | dragondance lum berry activates as you can see, everytime the lum berry activates itself after the gyarados got paralyzed, so it was certainly just a bug with lumberry and not with the pokemon in specific ♦ Spawn-Changelog ♦ | ♦ Pokémon Spawn related - Suggestions | Feedback | Requests ♦ ♦ Paradox Guild ♦ random number generation An acronym for "random number generator" or "random number generation", it refers to the process by which computers generate apparently random numbers, essentially the computer equivalent of 'chance'.

Euginken Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hi, Thanks for the reply really appreciate it. Unfortunately I am unable to provide any form of visuals to support what I mentioned. Am only able to provide pretty much the turns and actions. I will start off with Ferrothorn being swapped in Turn 1: Swapped out Donphan into Dragonite, Ferrothorn uses Stealth Rock Turn 2: Dragonite uses DD , Ferrothorn uses leech seed Turn 3: Expecting a thunder wave and knowing that lum berries usually clears it I decided to do another DD to potentially OHKO ferrothorn with fire punch. Ferrothorn uses thunder wave and the lum berry does not activate. Once again thanks for the replies, would continue observing if I would to encounter such an issue again.
