Today, I learned that if you attempt to mega evolve while using Pursuit on a switching target, you'll activate Pursiit first, and then you'll mega evolve after.

Yeah. Mega Evolving has +6 priority, whereas Pursuit on a switching target has +7.

Since the opponent is switching their active pokemon, it'd make sense that yours wouldn't have time to mega-evolve before attacking

No, it mega evolves before you use pursuit. I've seen a video of this

I just pulled this off on Showdown, bud. I know what I am talking about, unless it's different for the games.

Showdown has mistakes. People thought Kangaskhan had Knock Off just because Showdown had it. And Showdown also had Flying Gem as legal for a while.

Why the fuck would you believe a simulator over Gamefreak?

Until recently Clear Body didn't prevent the speed deduction from Sticky Web and Defog reflected by Magic Bounce still cleared hazards on Showdown. Obviously neither of these happens in the actual game and you're retarded for thinking Showdown is right when the actual games they attempt to emulate say something wholly different.

tl;dr: ur a gay faget

Does Showdown properly announce abilities when Skill Swap is used now? Had a case with a Skill Swap + Shuckle combo in doubles where the shitty interface just didn't tell me whose abilities had been swapped, nor did it announce them. Took me a round to realize it was a Contrary swap, while I only had Sturdy in mind.

It also fucked up when something affected by Worry Seed/Simple Beam switched out.

Showdown doesn't work exactly like it does in the game.

I can really see GF "patching" Mega-evolution, by which I mean overhauling it in the next games (Hoenn remakes). It's just kind of awkward that it comes out as a normal pokemon, then you select moves, then it mega-evolves. The whole speed thing not adjusting on the first turn plus other glitches like this. It just feels kind of messy
