Two extremely minor bugs I have discovered regarding the ABILITY MAGIC GUARD.

MAGIC GUARD is an ABILITY which prevents a POKéMON from taking any indirect damage, including recoil from moves such as DOUBLE-EDGE. While this ABILITY indeed prevents recoil damage from DOUBLE-EDGE, FLARE BLITZ, VOLT TACKLE and HEAD SMASH, a POKéMON with MAGIC GUARD still takes recoil from using BRAVE BIRD and WOOD HAMMER, as well as possibly other recoil moves I have not tested yet.

The second bug I have discovered concerns the use of Database modifications, and occurs in this situation: A server has a Database which grants a POKéMON access to the ABILITY of MAGIC GUARD, while a trainer enters that server with a team based on a different Database from another server, which does not allow said POKéMON to have MAGIC GUARD. If this trainer battles someone who has a POKéMON with MAGIC GUARD, which it normally cannot have access to without Database modifications, that POKéMON will continue to take indirect damage from effects such as recoil and STEALTH ROCK according to the screen of the trainer using a different Database modification to that of the server. However, his or her opponent will not see their POKéMON with MAGIC GUARD taking that indirect damage. Therefore, if the POKéMON with MAGIC GUARD is using recoil moves or if effects such as SANDSTORM or STEALTH ROCK are present, it will have its health drop at a higher rate as observed by the trainer battling against it than from the perspective of the trainer using it. The biggest problem with this bug, however, is the fact that if the POKéMON with MAGIC GUARD happens to faint according to the screen of the trainer battling against it, but not according to the trainer using it, the battle will freeze at that point, with neither trainers being able to move until BATTLE TIMEOUT takes effect, in which case the trainer using the MAGIC GUARD POKéMON will be deemed the winner.

Since these bugs concern users of Database modifications almost exclusively, I understand that it is a very minor problem, but I do not believe that it is a difficult bug to fix.

This is a really important bug for the sake of POKéMON! All those MAGIC GUARD POKéMON are dying because of this bug, MUDKIP demands BAYLEEF fixes this before BATTLE TIMEOUT on modded POKéMON with MAGIC GUARD destroys POKéMON.

In the world of POKéMON, you have to capitalize PROPER NOUNS, DJ FURY.
