Magcargo' ability states:

Lava Zone - Whenever your opponent's Active Pokémon moves to the Bench during their turn...

However, if the opponent plays any effect that forces a switch to the Magcargo player such as Boss Orders, Counter Catcher etc. Then their Active Pokémon becomes Burned even if their Pokémon isnt the one switching.

This bug is being abused in combination with Pyroar who boosts the burn damage to 4 counters causing unexpected damage to knock out pokemon.

    Yeah, I've just discovered this - funnily enough, I'm also playing Pyroar, but not THAT Pyroar.

    Ran into this bug today as well with Magcargo. The player I was playing wasn’t abusing it but it was annoying to have to play around.
