Cannot Poison Duraladon with special energy + more

Duaraladons ability clearly says you cannot attack with special energy I used galarian wheezing which shuts off abilities yet my severe poison did 0 damage and no poison. This is clearly broken no?

    Just to be sure, there wasn't a "Big parasol" attach to Duraludon, right?

    Also abilities being shut down shouldn't really matter here, since duraludon only stops damage, not effects of attacks.

    @Edurandomnumber It stops the damage using an ability lol.


    @Betrayze I think you should maybe try also writing this in your native language, since what you wrote here is kinda hard to understand. Maybe someone who can read your native language can help.

    It's a bug, it's similar to milktanks ability not working. You can bypass certain abilities with aoe affects of any kind. Mewtwo v-union and Greeninja's V-union aoe attacks cannot be stopped by any means including items. All abilities are broken currently to some extent in pokemon live, and have one or many ways to counter them.

    @TechHog Galarian weezing's attack does 0 damage, and duraludon vmax's ability only prevents damage, there's no interaction between duraludon's Skyscrapper ability and Galarian weezing's severe poison attack.

    Even if the ability was active, the attack should work like normal

    there was no Big Parasol it was just in the active. "Severe Poison" doesn't do damage just affect of poison but even if it did it should do damage as the description of Galarian Weezings ability is


    "Neutralizing Gas

    As long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, your opponent’s Pokémon in play have no Abilities, except for Neutralizing Gas."
