Pokémon Sun & Moon - Battle Spot Glitch
A new note has been put out regarding a glitch on Battle Spot. When both sides Pokémon are knocked out causing both parties to have no Pokémon through the use of Rough Skin, Aftermath, Liquid Ooze, Iron Barbs, Innards Out and Rocky Helmet, the trainer whose ability caused the opponent Pokémon to get Knocked Out would be determined as the loser. However, there is currently an issue on Battle Spot where Rocky Helmet causing the knock out results in the trainer with the Pokémon holding Rocky Helmet to be determined the winner. Game Freak are currently investigating this issue, along with the issue with Memento & Parting Shot and hope to issue a fix soon
