Leech seed not triggering sap sipper properly

[Pwaite]

Hello.

 

Today while trying to use leech seed on a Marill, i just had the message "it's completely ineffective" and the attack of the Marill did not increase as it was supposed to. When using Mega Drain on the same Marill, Sap Sipper worked properly and increased its attack.

 

Another player helped me try that Leech Seed should indeed trigger Sap Sipper and here is the replay: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-753524380

 

Which confirms that Leech Seed not triggering Sap sipper is a bug.

 

Regards,

Just confirmed Once again In pro , Leech seed is not triggering +atk boost which it should do for sap sipper pokes.

Update: it seems that the issue concerns all non-offensive grass as I encountered the same issue with Spore.
