Flower Paradise 0 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Not sure if this is already known but I was facing a trainer's Dewgong in Serra's arena and it used sheer cold on my higher leveled Cofagrigus, but it reflected of course and OHKO'd me anyways when it shouldn't have Link to post Share on other sites
Sin! 17 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 ...doesnt the mirror field boost some stat of sheer cold? Link to post Share on other sites
Code: PIRULUK 5 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 No, the mirror field does not affect Sheer Cold in any way. This is a bug, likely caused by how the Essentials package interprets Sheer Cold failure and an unforeseen interaction with Ame's code for the reflect effect(which IIRC involves changing the return value of the move from "miss" to "hit") Or maybe Ame already knows this and left it in as a way of making the game harder XD Link to post Share on other sites
pyrromanis 70 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Actually I find this one funny and it should be kept This might make Serra even more harder, since her field didn't gave her that much of a boost! Link to post Share on other sites
DashingStorm 3 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh Ame knows Sheer Cold backfires in Serra's ice field.. She playtested the field/battle before e15's community release and found this out the hard way. Known thing, just be wary if you use Sheer Cold in that battle. (I'd just avoid using it.)

Code: PIRULUK 5 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I believe a simple, if blunt, workaround would be to add an if statement into the code of attack reflection before the bounce that checks for whether the target's level is higher and whether the move used is Sheer Cold.
