Marty can we get a response on [https://www.smogon.com/forums/posts/8923804/], at least for ADV? One of ADV's most important tournaments has just started and it will be good to see this mechanic addressed. Thanks!
Oh sorry, I just saw this now. Tagging me on the forums is only a good way to get my attention if I log in more than a few times per week to check notifications. Sending me a PM here or on Discord, or inviting me to any secret ADV Discord servers would at least get my attention the same day.
Anyway, this was trivial to fix; Beat Up was just inheriting everything from Gen 4, including the explicit Physical category. Fixed next update!
Edit: I notice Gen 2 was explicitly wrong so I fixed that too.

Is this commit which 'fixes' Beat Up behaviour now live? If so it might have broken something else.
This match was played about 4 hours ago, and on turn 5 you can see a Dugtrio does ~3% damage to a Blissey, when from what I can gather it should be doing ~50%.
Whoops, very sorry about that. Turns out it wasn't as trivial as I thought; since it was changed to a Special move it also has to replace the Special Attack and Special Defense stats instead or else it's just a Bullet Seed with Dark flavour and a Beat Up number of hits.
I've hotpatched main and restarted SmogTours so both servers have these fixes now. I also thought there was a Gen 3 bugs thread in this forum / the new ADV one, but if there isn't I'll make one and move all these posts there since they don't belong here.
Not a bug exactly but Castform is missing its shiny gen3 shiny sprite on Showdown. It's purple with gold eyespots. When you select for shiny Castform it's just the default coloring again.
I've been aware of this for a year now but nothing's been done. Not sure who would handle this, but it should be an extremely quick fix just grabbing the sprite from Bulbapedia and putting it in the sprites folder.

Baton pass appears to be broken on Showdown; it isn't passing boosts. See this match I just played. Apologies if bp has been changed and this is deliberate, but as recently as last week it seemed to pass boosts no problem.
Thanks
Thanks
I didn’t see any problems in this replay? The opponent roared out the +4 celebi after it used bp
I think its a visual bug on my end; the boosts aren't showing up even before the roar, but they're obviously there in the replay. apologies, and thanks for your help
i thought gengar was a ghost type :( https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen3ou-1750125143

turn 19. I use HP grass with Metagross, expecting a counter, yet their counter worked anyway. I thought mirror coat was the only way to counter special attack type moves

Hidden power always counts as a physical move in the respect of counter damage in gen 3. So when you click. Not a bug
Huh, interesting. It’s like that on cartridge too?
Yes it does, it functions like that in gen 2 as well.
For ADV doubles:
1) Hidden Power Electric is supposed to ignore Lightningrod. This is known as it was abused in Battle Road 2005 tournaments to beat Marowak+Gyarados (source at the bottom of the page). Replay
2) Shell Bell seems to not take into account damage for spread moves properly. See this replay, turn 4. It seems to only be counting the damage dealt to the ally.

first one is a mechanic in gen 3, not a bug
second one is interesting. for some reason in gen 3 rn, if:
- the used attack targets all others, then if:
-- the ally fainted, then the user is healed by 1/8 of the damage taken to ko the ally
-- the ally did not faint, then the opponent that took the most damage will be used to heal
- the used attack targets both opponents only, then the left target's taken damage will be used to heal
gen 4 does not have this bug, though, and i refuse to go above that at 3am. this also hurt to figure out.
gen 3
testing eq ko w/ sub - ally heal
testing eq ko w/o sub - ally heal
testing eq no ko - right opp heal (took more damage)
testing eq no ally or ko - left opp heal (took more damage)
testing rslide - left opp heal (both times)
gen 4
testing opponents only (rslide) - correct heal
testing all other mons (eq) - correct heal
testing eq ko w/ sub - ally heal
testing eq ko w/o sub - ally heal
testing eq no ko - right opp heal (took more damage)
testing eq no ally or ko - left opp heal (took more damage)
testing rslide - left opp heal (both times)
gen 4
testing opponents only (rslide) - correct heal
testing all other mons (eq) - correct heal
