Duraludon Vmax bug

Walrus58

Duraludon Vmax disables any attack at all by Raikou 040/185 even though Raikou should have been able to do 120 damage to the bench.

Can guarantee your Raikou had Special Energy attached. Duraludon can’t be hurt by Pokémon with Special Energy

What was the Pokemon on the bench you were trying to attack? Was Manaphy in play?

Yes, Raikou had special energy, and I didn't expect to be able to hurt the Duraludon. But Raikou should still be able to do 120 damage to the bench.

No, there was no Manaphy on the bench.

Was it a Bidoof from Crown Zenith? Its ability prevents damage when it's on the bench. This happened to me yesterday and created a thread about it but I was wrong.

That's possible--can't remember the details anymore. It hasn't happened again, and anyway Raikou has rotated (sadly), so I'm not going to worry about it anymore.
