Contrary Malamar, Topsy Turvy

[N1Dude 29]

When my Malamar uses Topsy Turvy it changes the field to the inverse field. According the field desk this field gives you a boost in every stat while holding magical seed. My Malamar has the ability Contrary so actually this should lower all his stats right? But this did not happen, the stats were boosted after consuming the Magical seed.

Not sure if this is a bug or if this is supposed to happen but i thought i'd mention it anyways.

 

Edit: I noticed that on the other posts no one reacts to what they said. If someone knows the anser i'd really like a reaction on my post cause it will really bother me if i don't know if it is a bug or not

I generally answer when I know that the issue being reported is not a bug, explaining that it's a canon mechanic and how it works, but I also move those topics to the known bug bin.

This is indeed a bug. The seeds in reborn are a reflection of the Misty, Grassy, Electric and Psychic seeds that appear in canon games, where these seeds lower the stats of a pokemon with contrary instead of increasing them. The stat changes caused by seeds shouldn't be treated as an exception by contrary. Thanks for reporting!
