My Stegoceratops was pitted against a Pyrritator and hit it with a Greater Stunning Strike, dealing zero (0) damage! How is this possible, considering that Pyrritator has no instant invincibility or long invincibility?
I had something like this happen with my Pyrritator receiving a zero value strike - don’t know what the opponent was but I think the attack was a strike - thought I imagined it!
I did that just now against a stegoceratops lol, but my mono did dist. impact and it died right away then my pyrritator did dist. rampage which meant the stegoceratops damage would be zero.
Probably some type of glitch where you actually landed the damage but the game didn’t see it!
I have given up trying to figure these battles out!
It gives me an Anacin headache
Rpardo has the answer above. It is not common but if two different -50% damage moves are used and the first lasts 2 turns… the result is 0 damage. They reduce the damage from base damage both times… this is incorrect in how % reduction works but it’s how Ludia does it. I.e if you reduce something by 50% and then reduce it by 50% again it would be 25% of its original value.
I had great fun back in my badlands day with gen 1 mono doing this… especially against Trex…if you start with dist rampage, then dist strike, his next attack normally a rampage with hit for 0… really funny when he crits for 0.
