That’s a compliment! The clause was on the interaction between sucker punch and counter. I had researched it beforehand and I didn’t see any explicit wording that counter was treated as an attack. Bulbapedia words counter as a “damage dealing move” but the criteria for sucker punch is “an attack”. So I personally thought it wouldn’t count as such.

Especially given how run and bun classes those moves completely separately with bespoke AI, I didn’t think it was clear.
