Mega evolutions

[Specific 41]

Mega evolutions seem to make online battles freeze on 'waiting...' between turns when used. I have encountered problems in four seperate occasions:

 

1: I used a mega pinsir. After quick attack from mega pinsir against the opponent's (weakened) porygon-Z, their porygon-Z fainted for me, the battle afterwards remaining stuck on 'waiting...'. My opponent told me that my pinsir did not mega evolve and that porygon-z survived the attack.

 

2: My enemy used a mega glalie. It did not mega evolve from my perspective. I took it out from my perspective. Opponent reported glalie properly mega evolving and taking out my pokemon. Both my pokemon and my opponent's turned level 100 after we ended up closing reborn.

 

3: I used a mega pinsir. A return against enemy's amoonguss took amoonguss out from my perspective. From my opponent's perspective, pinsir did not mega evolve, amoonguss lived and pinsir got effect spored. Attached screenshot shows the screen on which the battle froze from my perspective (Screenshot 1).

 

4: Fought against someone to test whether use of megas is linked to knocking out a pokemon or not, using a mega pinsir myself while my opponent did not use any mega evolutions. My pinsir appeared as a normal pinsir to my opponent despite mega evolving pinsir. Swords dance from mega pinsir turn 1 and opponent's chandelure using trick room did not break online functionality (screenshot 2). Switching out my mega pinsir while the opponent kept chandelure in did not break functionality either.

 

4, continued: Switching mega pinsir back in still made my mega pinsir appear like a normal pinsir to my opponent (screenshot 3). Quick attack against opponent's chandelure did damage from my perspective (aerliate), but not from opponent's perspective (screenshots 4 and 5). Knocking chandelure out with return from my perspective (but return having no effect from my opponent's perspective) broke online functionality (screenshots 6 and 7).

 

Mega evolution seems to not report from the opponent's perspective. Mega evolutions also seem to break online functionality when a pokemon is knocked out.

I can also confirm this! In a battled I used mega Sharpedo and crunched opponent's Magnezone for ~60% while he saw no mega evolution and my crunch did around 20-30%. Also later in that battle I sent out my Haxorus holding Dragonium Z and I didn't get the Z-move button at all, possible cause I used mega evolution before
