Destiny Bond not working

I'm trying to beat Solaris's Garchomp, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock here. If I had known this move glitches like this, I would've just used Counter Sturdy  Sawk with max HP instead.

You can use perish song. Some event pokemon can come already knowing it as their bonus egg move. Or train that Smoochum we save from Beartick, south of Shade's gym. I can't recommend you Smoochum enough. Keep it unevolved until level 45. Also, it is fast and hits hard from special.

I actually forgot to get it, whoops. Anyway, I beat him by just leveling up Shuppet with Victoria until it got Curse and just replaced Destiny Bond since it clearly doesn't work.

 

i was kinda salty because I thought this would mean that I'd have to leave the Volcano and lose relationship points with Victoria. Thankfully, it didn't have to come to that.

It half works.

From what I know Destiny Bond should be active until you use another action.

But (due to a bug?) it only works for the current turn here.

 

So the only way I see it being useful on Solaris as is, is by having it on a Sharpedo since X-Speed + Speed Boost made mine faster than Garchomp on turn 2.

I also used Destiny Bond from my Gengar on Titania's last pokemon (i think it was aegi?) but it didnt work too.

Yeah d-bond is broken: for it to work on your favor, you need to move first, but if an opponent uses it, it works the way its supposed to
