Just the same as a Redditor posted on a Reddit post a few years ago, I’m having an issue with Gyro Ball on my Onix holding a Lagging Tail. I suppose I can get around it by buying a Power Item. Will this be patched? Is it a known bug? Am I even in the right place?
I’m not sure what exactly you’re saying the bug is here. Is it that Gyro Ball is literally doing nothing when a Lagging Tail is held? Or is it that Gyro Ball is still doing damage but not as much as you’re expecting it to?
For example, I have lagging tail on Onix. My turn, I use Gyro Ball. Opponent goes first, Onix goes. “Onix used Gyro Ball!” No other message, and I’m back to the battle screen to choose what to do. Gyro Ball is minus 1 PP. No damage was dealt, not even testing on Audino from the level trainer. I’m not stupid and thinking that it should do more damage… It does plenty and works fine with Power Items.
