Drifblim not attacking bug

[Jess 574]

I am grinding vs Hotshot Jace in Grand Hall and he has Drifblim, Bisharp, Cherrim, Watchog and Comfey. His mons occasionally don't attack more than once. e.g Drifblim never attacks after getting burnt by its Flame Orb, Cherrim never attacks after transforming by using Sunny Day, etc.

 

Edit: I posted this in wrong forum section. Any mod that sees it can move it to the appropriate place

could you please add more info about this? which pokemon are you using, moves, did npc pokemon even get a chance to attack etc?

@Njab I mostly used Fearow with Fly, Greninja with Dark Pulse, or Sawsbuck with Jump Kick/Horn Leach/Megahorn.

I noticed it when I first used Greninja.

Graninja vs Drifblim was like:

Turn 1: Greninja uses Dark Pulse, Drifblim uses Thunder, (Greninja gets Paralysed or not), the Drifblim gets burnt by Flame Orb.

Turn 2: Greninja stays Paralysed/ I switch into Sawsbuck and Drifblim does nothing, taking Burn damage only. I noticed after trying it again that it moved again next turn (most times, apart from 1 I think).

 

Sawsbuck vs Cherrim was like:

Turn 1: Sawsbuck uses Megahorn, misses, Cherrim uses Sunny Day and transforms.

Turn 2: I miss again with Megahorn/switch into Fearow and Cherrim does nothing.

 

Fearow vs Watchog was like:

Turn : Fearow uses Fly, Watchog misses Knock Off

Turn 2: Fearow hits Fly, Watchog does nothing

Turn 3: Fearow flies AND executes Fly on same turn (seemingly so, because Watchog didn't move again, I presume).

I'm having issues with the same trainer. If you want I can make a new topic for this, but I'll put it here for the time being. I don't have a good memory so I'll try to list everything I can remember.

 

Dragalge vs. Comfey (jace's)

-Comfey used Petal Dance and KO'd some of my pokemon, among them, Aurorus with snow warning, so there was Hail during the battle.

-Comfey got confused from petal dance.

-I sent Dragalge.

-Comfey was confused but used dazzling gleam anyway.

-Dragalge used sludge wave.

-At the beginning of the next turn, I healed Dragalge with an Ultrapotion.

-Comfey did nothing.

-The hail KO'd Comfey.

 

EDIT: I also think that Comfey may have set some screens.

 

EDIT 2: another issue

 

Staraptor vs. Comfey

-Turn 1: Comfey uses dazzling gleam.

-Turn 1: Staraptor uses brave bird.

-Turn 2: Staraptor flies high (Comfey does nothing)

-Turn 3: Staraptor uses fly, KOing Comfey (Comfey does nothing)

 

I've replicated this one quite a bunch of times. In fact, it does not seem to depend on my attacks. Comfey uses dazzling gleam, and then it won't attack my Staraptor anymore.

i have had the same problem with an enemy shelmet that didn't do anything after using  yawn, it did use acid armor twice before that.

it is in the battle in the mosswater factory in the periot ward against meteor grunt Sanchez. his next pokemon acted normal again.

This issue is too widespread actually.  Randomly, enemy pokemon stop using any moves, letting me attack them over and over till they either switch or die.  

I know you ask for specific moves used,  but it just so widespread that the only thing i can say about this is that it usually happens when i use utility moves, like growl.
