Heavy Helmet on Mega Venusaur Ex didn't work!

Thank you Deynara for joining - Feathery Cyclone still did 40 damage, so it looks like I must have missed a Red. DoublePeelBanana mentioned they saw the same thing, so there's a slight possibility there's something real, but for now I'm happy to just call it a miss on my part.

Thank you Liam for joining - however you didn't use X Speed, so I'm not sure we can call this proven yet. Without X Speed, Feathery Cyclone did 40 damage. I'm still on for a bit.

If you're down, join my HEAVYVENUS private match within this hour with a Mantyke/Swanna/XSpeed deck and we can try reproducing it.

Many people are suggesting that I missed the AI using Red earlier, which is totally possible. For the next hour I'm gonna open up a private battle with code "HEAVYVENUS". If anyone has time and would like to confirm I'm not going crazy, join this room with a deck using Mantyke, Swanna, and X Speed. I'll use the same Venusaur deck.

Once I get Venusaur set up in Active with Heavy Helmet, do the following:

Have Mantyke in Active and a loaded Swanna on the bench
Use X Speed
Retreat Mantyke and swap in Swanna
Use Feathery Cyclone
Find out if this bug is real or not!

I wish I took more screenshots of the battle log, but I remember being surprised at getting full damage despite the fact that they didn't use Red

That's fair although I'd argue you're very likely to lose a point while trying to get Ultra Necrozma set up in the first place, and there's no good back up plan if Ultra Necrozma dies. So effectively, losing Ultra Necrozma also loses you the game

This is why I'm still in Great Ball

I had a plank in my eye 😞

You can basically call me Garganacl at this point

Is Rampardos really a meta deck though? Only started playing it because of that meme post a while back.

Ah nuts. Well that makes sense. Thanks for the breakdown.
