>>46420532I originally sided with the dev nerd, but I am leaning towards the latter. I tested to see if Delphox’s Go Viral Passive worked for teams just in case everybody assumed it only worked for Delphox, and it didn’t work :((. It would’ve changed the game if go viral 9 worked for all statuses and we just assumed it didn’t bc no one put both delphox and another status user on the same team.
But just to review
Go Viral 9
>When a status move is USED to inflict a status condition on an opponent, inflicts the same status condition on all opposing sync pairs>user specific & non-universalPokey Trap
>increases amount of damage the target takes from being trapped>non-user specific & universalDouble Drop
>taken from AbsolutelyPM>description differs from dev nerd’s description of >>46420136 >when an opponent’s stat is lowered, it is lowered by double the stat rankIf we use the dev nerd’s theory description of “if the user lowers an enemy stat, it is lowered by double the stat ranks”, then we have to lean towards it being user-specific. But to be honest that sounds like a UI nightmare and headache.
If we use absolutelypm’s leaked description, then it’s still up in the air.
It’s up in the air, but there seems to be non-confirmed description bc dev nerd and absolutelypm’s description are radically different
