This is not a bug, Spotlight can not be used to make foes attack their allies and will be ignored, just like how Rage Powder won't make you attack your ally. Spotlight is used to redirect attacks to a teammate or to make a teammate focus on a specific foe.Hello, bug report checking in.
My Shiinotic uses Spotlight on opposing Xurkitree. Tapu Fini ignores spotlight for some reason and attacks my Garchomp. The rest of the match is me trying to us spotlight again but it's being ignored. This isn't the last time that has happened to me.

Do you have any sources backing this up or are you just pulling this out of your ass? Because the move description does specifies that all single type attacks from other Pokemon are redirected to the spotlighted target. I do not know myself if that's how spotlight should work but the text clearly point towards that being the case. Would be nice if someone could check this ingame.This is not a bug, Spotlight can not be used to make foes attack their allies and will be ignored, just like how Rage Powder won't make you attack your ally.

Really, it's not a good move to use in doubles in general and seems like it was meant to be used in Battle Royal.
My source is people who tested this last week. See the linked post and the discussion on the subsequent pages.Do you have any sources backing this up or are you just pulling this out of your ass?

Hi, source here. I confirmed in game a while ago and recorded my findings on that thread.Do you have any sources backing this up or are you just pulling this out of your ass?

Grassy Terrain halves Earthquake and Magnitude damage.http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7vgc2017-479948258
Turn 5 Garchomp did 28% damage to Incineroar with eq and turn 6 the damage got doubled. I don't know if it had a shuca berry and showdown didn't show it but pretty sure this is a bug.
Didn't know about it, so sorry for wasting time. Thank you.Grassy Terrain halves Earthquake and Magnitude damage.
Psychic Terrain only protects grounded pokemon.Psychic Terrain in double don't give priority-save to other pokemon except Tapu Lele

This is correct. Thundurus has Prankster, and Mega Sharpedo is Dark type, and therefore immune.Turn 4 and 5: Thunder wave is used on Mega Sharpedo, but does not paralyze it
This is correct. When Minior has over 50% health, it transforms into Meteor Forme, which is immune to status.Turn 56: Minior switches in and immediately changes form while at full health, sprite is missing, types unknown.
Turn 57: Shields Down prevents Toxic from working on Minior.
The video you posted clearly shows Instruct repeating the previous move, even if it's from the previous turn. It only fails on the first turn out, before the ally has made a move.Instruct is supposed to fail if used first (before an ally makes their move for that turn), but on Showdown it repeats the move used on the previous turn which leads to some pretty broken stuff like protecting and attacking on the same turn.
When Minior has over 50% health, it transforms into Meteor Forme. However, it's default is the Core Forme, so it always transforms on its first switch in.Turn 1, Minior just started in Shields Down form. I have no idea why.
