https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8vgc2020-1025511727 I think this is showdown glitch
[18:38:02] north poipole: is the issue with snorlax not outspeeding gengar?
[18:38:21] jghkjghhjhg: yes
[18:38:28] jghkjghhjhg: It should
[18:39:07] north poipole: i think speed swap went away when ribombee died. i might be wrong here but bulba is incredibly vague about what happens
[18:39:55] jghkjghhjhg: that is normallly not the case
[18:40:07] jghkjghhjhg: i think the mechanic in showdown is broken because of gigantamaxing
[18:41:42] jghkjghhjhg:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8vgc2020-1025513848 here you can see how it usually works, even if ribombee dies
[18:42:03] jghkjghhjhg: yeah if the speed swapped pokemon switches
(posting bc jghkjghhjhg doesn't have a smogon account)
TL;DR speed swap did this thing
- in the first replay, ribombee used speed swap and then snorlax gigantamaxed; lost the swap
- in the second ribombee used speed swap after the snorlax gigantamaxed; kept the swap
is this how it works in the games or is it bugged?
