Mega-Banette's Prankster ability does not kick in as soon as it mega-evolves, which means that its usefulness is far lower than it would be. As I believe, Prankster is a static ability, much like Mold Breaker on Mega-Gyarados and Adaptability on Mega-Lucario, that should be able to be used as soon as it has mega-evolved, but I am consistently outsped by Ambipom and Arceus as I attempt to DBond immediately upon mega-evolving. For example: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uubeta-80815530, where Knock Off outsped my Will-O-Wisp. This has led to points, especially in Ubers, where I lose battles that I would otherwise win, especially versus ExtremeKiller Arceus. Can this please be addressed, or is this a case where the mechanics make it so in the actual game as well?

Turn order is determined before Mega Evolutions occur, so Prankster won't effect your Pokemon until the next turn. This is the case in-game as well.
Edit:
It looks like there are a few bugs that can cause sprites to stick around longer than normal. I noticed when watching a replay that it would sometimes happen when I clicked "skip to next turn," a lot. Sometimes I'd get 3 sprites on one side at once, with only the one HP bar for the active Pokemon. I'm sure it's possible to get more, and it's an easy bug to recreate in replays.sprite stays if you sack a pokemon to entry hazards against an otherwise two-turn attack that is made one turn by power-herb. goes all the way to the end of the battle

This is a really, really minor bug. I was using a non shiny Blastoise and my opponent was using a Shiny one. He had already Mega Evolved it, and after I Mega Evolved mine it became a Shiny Mega Blastoise despite not being shiny to begin with. Again, a really minor bug.
Here's the replay:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uubeta-80934145
It happened turn 24, (I'm UberMadman.)
(Also, I really gotta play more UU to get out of the lower rankings so I can stop seeing shit like Fake Out Blastoise.)

Hmm, turns out the fix wasn't as simple as I thought but it's not that complex either. I'll work on it.
2 things:
My Cherrim took 2 turns after sun was up for it to change form.
And my Jolteon in Randbats had only 3 moves.

I think I found a bug with critical hits. I understand that in gen 6, critical hits do 1.5x damage, but this doesn't seem to happen if one hit in a multi-hit move (i.e., pin missile on mega heracross) crits.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/randombattle-81002207
on turns 8 and 9, I do 7% per hit, until my crit does 14%

A critical hit negates defense boosts.
According to the research thread ( http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/regirock.3489573/ ), Regirock can learn Power-up Punch through TM, but PS says it's illegal.
The most likely explanation for this is that you joined the battle before changing the item (or the server hadn't recognised the item change yet because you did it too late).
OmegaDonut, I may have found a reason why you're right. I heard from VGC players that the pledge moves are bugged on PS! Apparently pledge moves do not receive power boost from weather. Marty D, can you confirm and fix this?
+2 252 SpA Mega Charizard Y (No Move) vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 326-384 (91 - 107.2%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
- No Move = 150 BP Fire-type move
- +2 to counteract resistance
- no sun boost
so yes, OmegaDonut, Garchomp has a chance of surviving combo Fire pledge (not guaranteed, though)
I didn't change the item though......
The bug described by ΩDonut has been fixed three weeks ago however.
Fire and Water Pledge are actually affected by Sunny Day and Rain Dance. In the Battle Video ΩDonut referred to, Garchomp takes 154 damage from the Fire Pledge combo which is only possible with the boost.
252 SpA Mega Charizard Y Fire Blast vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp in Sun: 127-150 (69 - 81.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Since 154 is an impossible roll here, the Charizard was likely Modest (Speed is mostly irrelevant when you're moving immediately after Chlorophyll Venusaur anyway).
252+ SpA Mega Charizard Y Fire Blast vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp in Sun: 140-165 (76.5 - 90.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
(Fire Blast was bumped to 150 BP for these calcs)
Knock Off is not supposed to get the increased *1.5 damage when it does not remove the opponent's item even if one is held (as in Griseous Orb Giratina-O). However, it still KO'd me in a match (and in the testing environment in the replay) despite the calc. saying otherwise. Although I haven't been able to find too many sources on this (it is said on the forums, Bulbapedia, and a few other places, but none are what I can say too reliable), I'm still pretty confident of it.

+2 252+ Atk Mega Blaziken Knock Off vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Giratina-O: 362-428 (71.9 - 85%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

I'm not 100% sure what happened, but the enemy Mega Tyranitar used Crunch on my Cofagrigus and consequently got the ability Mummy. However, the next time he switched in, he still got a sand storm. My guess is that this is a result of how the simulator handles mega evolutions switching back in. I noticed that they always switch in as the normal version, then mega evolve again.
Got the same thing (speed not increasing) with my hitmonlee and its liechi berry
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/uubeta-81869727 (last few turns)
gets outsped by chandelure right after. (546 not 446 is 2x273 lol)
I double checked ability, ev's etc. It definitely worked before so I don't know why it didnt here.

I think this is likely a incorrect move implementation in Doubles on Showdown someone brought to my attention, could someone else re-affirm if it actually does behave like this on Showdown? I definitely know it doesn't work like this in game.
Affected Move:
Heal Pulse
Observed Effect:
On Showdown when you use Heal Pulse and target your partner in doubles. In the case where your partner is fainted by the opponent before you can successfully heal them it'll randomly re-target and heal one of your opponents Pokemon
Correct Effect:
The correct in game behaviour is that when Heal Pulses original intended target is no longer present having been defeated within that turn the move should simply give a "But it failed." message, it should not automatically re-select a new target.

Pretty sure weaknesses/resists do not apply to Seismic Toss, only immunities do.
A few weeks ago I was watching a battle and it was a pretty popular battle since there were staff members on it, and when a lot of people started to leave I did the same thing however it somehow put ME in the battle even though I was only a spectator.
I'm not sure,if it's bug or not, Showdown keeps changing my Pokemon's EV spread as it feels like it. This happens when I leave the Teambuilder page and return to the Home page.

Turn 17
Fletchling used roost, then I EQ'd. Fletchling should have took damage, but didn't. I'm not sure if it's because of Gale Wings giving fletch priority - I'm not convinced it would have KO'd or how much (if any) it would've influenced that game at that point. (I'd still have my BJ on gligar for an easier win) but I can see situations in which this would be annoying.

I don't know if this counts as a bug, but Entei's Sacred Fire misses more than it should.
In the average of 5 battles that it was used, it managed a staggering 60% accuracy (only hitting 9 out of 15 times), even going as far as missing 2 out of the 3 times that it was used in one match.
It normally shouldn't be a problem if its a move like Stone Edge, but 95 accuracy going down to 60 is a bit too much.

If roost fails, just like any other move, it has no effect. Using Roost at full health (or while taunted or something, idk) does not cause you to lose Flying-type.
