The_Hidden 0 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Hi, I´m not sure if I´m posting this correctly. While fighting Terra I thought it would be a good idea to use my alakazams magic guard to deflect hippowdons stealth rocks since I tried to use a shedinja with synthetic seed. But when I switched my alakazam in to do that hippowdons stealth rocks succeeded and my shedinja became absolutely useless. A while later the same thing happend with a clefki using thunder wave. And I know for a fact that it is supposed to work like this in the cannon games. Link to post Share on other sites
Autumn Zephyr 434 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 It seems you've made a mistake: it's Magic Bounce that deflects status effects! Alakazam doesn't get it, either- that Ability's only on xatu, espeon, and a few Megas. Magic Guard, the Ability your alakazam has, instead prevents it from taking damage from indirect sources. So if you were to switch it out after the enemy's Stealth Rocks were set up, than send it back out, it wouldn't take any damage from the Rocks! Notably, it'll still get the damage boost from a held Life Orb despite not taking the damage- I personally use that trick on my reuniclus. Anyway, it seems we don't have a bug on our hands, so issue resolved! Link to post Share on other sites
