I was fighting Lt. Surge and used flash cannon against a voltorb. Before my move was used the enemy self destructed and died. Even though my move was not used the PP was 9/10. With such a small pp move this hurts. Thank you.

Yeah this is something they have to fix unless this is part of making this game "harder"

Is this common for self destruct or is this the only case that happened? Maybe find a friend that has a poke with self destruct and try to recreate it in PvP. I have never had that happen so if you recreate it then it would confirm it and be easier to fix. Just record or sc and then post it on here.
