Skipped moves in battles

[TrekkieGamer359 3]

This is a very sporadic bug I've noticed for months on both 18.1 and 18.2. It'll happen once at least once every gym leader or two, and rarely has happened a couple times in the same battle. What happens is when some mon is going to attack it says "X used Y" but then there is no animation and there is no effect. It simply skips to the next mon and move. Yesterday, I was capturing Emolga. It said "Emolga used Nuzzle" and then nothing. It simply skipped to my turn. I should mention that I was using Diggersby, but it should have said it didn't have any effect. Also, this has happened other times with 18.1 when the move would have been effective. This has both cost me and won me major battles a couple of times over the months. I just never seem to remember to post it until now. I have reinstalled 18.2 for a separate reason before this happened again, so it's not a bad installation. While I do have some mods right now, the first times this happened I had none. Someone else on reddit said this happened to them over a year ago. Reinstalling the game fixed it for them. It isn't frequent enough for it to be a real nuisance, but I thought I'd post it while I thought of it.

Something similar i noticed, too. Besides the A.I. using moves that your mon is immune against, a number of times (usually the wild ones), the text displaying right after, describes the move failing accuracy check, instead of it having no effect. I don't know if it is the same or the two issues are somehow related, though.

 

In episode 17, gym leaders used to do that a lot (using a move, nothing happening, then skipping at your turn). Most notably, Julia 's Plusle/Minun.

My issue sounds like what was happening in ep 17. It displays the text saying what move is used, and then it instantly skips to the next mon's turn. There is no animation, and no mention of anything failing, missing, etc. I have noticed that it happens disproportionately with Leader battles. Or maybe I simply notice it more then because the battle is so much more important. Because the bug works equally for and against me, it's not a huge deal. But I thought I would mention it.
