Solar Power Electric Terrain issue
I got this bug report from Twitter:
damagecalc
bug: when pokemon ability is solar power used thunder in Electric Terrain in sun。 Similar to the situation, +2 252+ SpA Solar Power Abomasnow Thunder vs. +6 0 HP / 0+ SpD Abomasnow: 61-72 (19 - 22.4%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Stealth Rock, Solar Power damage, Leech Seed recovery, and burn damage
"in sun" and "in Electric Terrain" It will not be displayed.
The boost will still be applied but I’ll look into eot text not displaying
the "in sun" is not needed because solar power is only activated in the sun. We don't display the electric terrain because the description would be too long, but again the boosts are being applied
I am not sure what is implied by the last comment, but as much as it makes sense to not display 'in Sun' since Solar Power is already written, and activates only in Sun, thus making it implicit that Sun is indeed here, I think this is important to display 'in Electric Terrain' since it enters into the calculation.
@penpexgit solar power also matters because it’s a special move unless I’m mistaken
I'm not sure what you mean, because Solar Power is an ability, not a Move. It boosts the SpA under Sun, and Thunder being a Special move, it had to be displayed, I was never disputing that. I was just seemingly agreeing to what you had said earlier that 'in Sun' was not needed.
By the way, this claim to not display 'in Sun' is more disputable in my opinion if the move is a Fire move, now that I think about it, because Sun boosts it directly too...
Anyway, I'm still wondering if you had implied in that earlier post that writing 'in Electric Terrain' was not important due to it being too long. It is unclear, which was why I posted in the first place, to say that I think this is important to be written.
@penpexgit to clarify by “it’s” I meant thunder sorry for the vagueness. Oh, no it’s definitely important I’m just saying why it’s currently not being displayed so I don’t forget when I actually tackle it.
