Inceneroar even got a double protect and both attempts were blocked, not sure how it was able to happen

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Happened twice in the same match, with the same two pokemon

Are you using Punching Glove on your Urshifu?

Are you using Punching Glove on your Urshifu?

Debug log checked, that is in fact the case.

In case its unclear for others:
Unseen fist allows contact moves to bypass protection moves like protect and detect. Punching Glove increases punching move power by x1.1 but makes them not contact. Finally, wicked blow is considered a punching move.

As a result, this is not a bug.
