Fixed [Indev 0.51.1] Lick not Super Effective Against Anything

[Magi]

Ghost-type moves not super-effective on Psychic-types.

What I expected to happen:
Destroy Abra with Lick.

What actually happened:
Ghastly destroyed by Confusion.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use a Ghost-type attack on a Psychic-type Pokémon.

Not a bug. Gastley is part Poison-type, which is weak to Psychic-type.

Well yes, but shouldn't the move Lick have been super-effective on Abra?

Yes it should have. Perhaps you could have been scrolling through the text too quickly to see? A screenshot or a sequence of them would really help.

It's happened pretty consistently so far that I've noticed, if not every time. Suggestions on a decent enough screen recording program that's free, safe, and easy to use? I can get on that later.

If you need to buy/get one, then don't worry about it. I'll test this myself and see if it occurs.

EDIT: Confirmed. The "It's super effective!" text did not appear when I used Lick (Ghost-type) on a Drowzee (Psychic-type).

Is it just the text not showing, or does it also not do double damage?

I only confirmed the text not showing, I'm not sure if it did deal double damage (my sound was off and the move one-hit KOed it).

All I know is my lvl 18 Gastly just barely didn't kill a lvl 16 Abra with Lick, then got destroyed by a Confusion. I guess that's still possible, but I don't know.

 

[Magi]

I can confirm that neither the sound or damage given indicates a super-effective hit. Ghost-type move = neutral damage against Psychic-types.

 

[Magi]

Same thing with Ghost on Ghost (which should also be super-effective)

 

[Darkfire]

This is a problem on a move-to-move basis
For some reason lick has this line:
Me.UseEffectiveness = False
I have fixed it for the next version
let me know if you find any other moves with a similar issue

Sucker Punch also not super-effective on a Mr. Mime

Sucker Punch also not super-effective on a Mr. Mime

Mr. Mime is Psychic/Fairy
Fairy resists dark-type moves so it ends up neutral
Fairy type was introduced in Gen 6 and added to a number of pokemon(at least one from every gen )

Oh, right. I keep forgetting gens 5 and 6. I've been out of the loop since HG/SS. Thanks
