Delayed speed lowering in swamp field


Cardshark000

Recommended Posts

When I switch grounded pokemon out mid-turn while the swamp field is active, the new pokemon does not have their first speed reduction occur until the end of the first full turn it spends in battle. This means that any ability which triggers upon stat reduction, such as Defiant, triggers twice at the end of the pokemon's second turn in battle as opposed to once at the end of each of the pokemon's two turns in battle.

 

Example Battle:

Turn 1: Greninja uses Water Pledge.

Turn 2: I switch out Greninja for Venusaur.

Turn 3: Venusaur uses Grass Pledge, creating the swamp field. The swamp field lowers the speed of all grounded pokemon.

Turn 4: I switch out Venusaur for Pawniard. Pawniard's speed is not lowered at turn's end -- meaning defiant doesn't trigger -- but the field does lower the speed of opposing grounded pokemon which have been in play since the turn's beginning.

Turn 5: Attacks take place as normal. Afterwards, the standard stat-lowering VFX flash over Pawniard (though no text is displayed), which triggers Defiant. After this, Pawniard's speed drops again -- displaying both the standard text and VFX -- which triggers Defiant for the second time.

 

The same error takes place in double battles as well, with the only difference being that I can switch out either Venusaur or Greninja for Pawniard starting on turn 2.

Well, I'm glad this bug's not just now coming to your attention given how far along E18 is in development!

 

I'm glad to be back -- and frankly, I'm amazed that I was here for so long without ever playing your game. You've done a great job!

I'm not sure if it will actually be fixed for 18-- but at the least it's noted. Since it's fairly minor we may have prioritized other stuff instead.

But thanks so much~ 

I had to remove all the references to Mysidia coz it was out of place when no one knew what it was anymore :c  But whenever you see NPCs talking about Orre, you can know deep in your heart that it was once about that site o7
