This happened when I was playing the newest version

Hi, I remember you from the thread on the Reborn reddit! I'll check if it's related to the Stamina ability, since I remember there was an issue with it before (it had a different ability's effect IIRC). In the meantime, in case it's not Stamina, would you happen to remember which move you were using when the error happened? 

Update: I just tested Stamina and it's working correctly for me, so it might be the move.

I was using horn leech. My move went through but the oppenents move didn't. Stamina activated normally afterwards.

Do you remember what move the Mudbray used? And in case the issue was how the move interacted with an ability, what was your Pokemon's ability?

Well the problem is that the move it was trying to use got completely cancelled and only my Ogerpon ended up attacking. Mudbray did not go down immediately and when I attacked again the error did not show up, so one of Mubrays moves at level 9 just did not work and it seemingly did not try using it again the next turn. The error showed up before either of the Pokemon had attacked  and since I went first the second turn I guess Ogerpon was faster. Ogerpons ability has been activating normally in other battles, which is defiant since I am not using a mask. And I have not touched Debug mode, because I don't have the urge to use it.

It looks like the moves a level 9 Mudbray would have are Double Kick, Iron Defense, Rototiller, and Mud Sport. I tested each of these moves and they were working for me, but I think the issue is with Rototiller. Looking at the script lines mentioned in the error message, a lot of them seem to deal with how the AI chooses moves, and there's one that mentions Grass-types along with Attack and Special Attack, which lines up with Rototiller's effect. Piecing together the script lines, here was my interpretation of what could've happened. 

1. Mudbray tried to use Rototiller, but Ogerpon's Attack was already at max, and this caused an error. Normally when a Pokemon's stats can't go any higher the move just doesn't work, but maybe there's something missing or wrong with Rototiller specifically. 

or 

2. The AI was giving Mudbray mixed signals about whether it should use Rototiller, and it glitched out because it doesn't have a way to prioritize one decision over the other. Like in the first idea, maybe there's something missing to account for Rototiller specifically.

 

I could've understood the scripts wrong and it could be something completely different, but if I had to guess based on what I can understand, I think it's something along those lines. I'll have to look into this more to see whether I'm able to figure it out. Thankfully the error message didn't crash the game at least. Thanks for the report!

Could it also happen after a single attack increase? Because the trainer I was fighting had two Pokemon and is located in north Virma City and I think the Pokemon before Mudbray used growl, which did trigger defiant. But that error is not something that can crash the game right? Because otherwise I would use one of the masks for Ogerpon so it gets sturdy and that error won't happen again. Also I am very happy that I can use Ogerpon. Fell in love with it during the Scarlet and Violet dlc and kept it on my team despite it overlapping with my starter. (My Nickname for it is always the same: Onigiri. Also! I love Lanturn tower and how good the game looks now! Hats off to you!)

I got the same error as you just now when I set up a test trainer battle with Ogerpon vs Mudbray. Against a regular level 9 Mudbray all its moves were working fine, but when I set up a custom one that only knew Growl and Rototiller, it was skipped for the first couple turns and then the error popped up. So I think other stat changes are probably part of what causes the error. I might need to test out more scenarios to be completely sure and to know whether I'm able to fix it, but fortunately the error doesn't cause the game to crash.

 

I did too! My starter was Sprigatito, and I kind of had Meowscarada and Ogerpon in rotation depending on which one would be better for who I was about to battle. It was the first time in any Pokemon game I switched between more team members, I've always stuck to the same team of 6 before then. 

 

Glad you like the updates! Lanturn Lighthouse was fun to make. The Pokemon available there weren't otherwise obtainable until really late in the game, so I wanted to give people the opportunity to use them earlier if they like those Pokemon. I have an idea in the future where the player and Emily will visit Lanturn Lighthouse after the Tourist Info Center, once we're finished with something we're working on now.
