Ok I’m going to make another post about trace as it still hasn’t been fixed, in the faq it clearly says “What about Trace? It just copies the ability of one of the opponents”. Well in this game on turn 1 blastoise traces intimidate and it’s partner gardevoir also gets intimidate so the opponents end up at -2 but it doesn’t stop there, blastoise then also traces download giving gardevoir download and then gardevoir traces intimidate giving both it and blastoise intimidate once again so after an ungodly amount of text the opponents Pokemon end up on -4 attack before a move is even clicked https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7partnersincrime-910215742. This shouldn’t happen and I believe it can be easily fixed by making trace Un-shareable like how mimikyu’s ability works. Here is a another replay that show trace is bugged https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7partnersincrime-876978464 Trace once again activates 3 times on turn 1 and twice with milotic, milotic traces volt absorb then soundproof followed by p2 tracing soundproof. And this final replay, this game is lost due to this bug on turn 10 cloyster traces levitate and loses skill link which makes icicle spear only hit 3 times allowing the opponent to survive (5 hits would have killed) and get up trick room and win https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7partnersincrime-673076658. Once again trace needs to be fixed and I really do think making trace Un-shareable will fix all bugs associated with trace.
