Jirachi's blocking animation causes a game breaking glitch

When Sableye places damage counters on Benched Pokemon that are protected with Jirachi's Ability, the animations will become desynced. Specifically, the animations will go by significantly slower on the opponent's screen. As a result, their clock will tick down while they are unable to do anything on their screen, causing their turn to be skipped. I have included an in depth video on how to reproduce the glitch.


A potential fix could be either tweaking the animations on the opponent's side, or even outright removing them for blocking damage counters. Another thing could be making it so the timer does not tick down during animations.
