    So I got a report from an user saying that when pursuit is used against a ditto impersonating gengar, does not display the super effective message. Tested this in the simulator and the result is below.

    This is the screenshot.

    Probably in-game testing is required for this.

    well this shouldn't be happening :v

    looks like it's a thing with BattleSituation::sendBack where the transformed mon is changed back to its regular form before the pursuit check is called

    so if like a mew on PO transformed into a non dark-weak mon it will still take SE pursuit damage on switching

    Fuzzysqurl sent out Ditto!
    Fuzzysqurl2 sent out Gengar!
    The foe's Ditto transformed into Gengar!

    Start of turn 1
    The foe's Ditto is being sent back!
    Gengar used Pursuit!
    It's super effective!
    The foe's Ditto lost 56% of its health!

    Start of turn 7

    Gengar used Pursuit!

    The foe's Ditto lost 43% of its health!
    The foe's Ditto fainted!


    Fixed. And confirmed nothing breaks if the pokemon is KOed by pursuit. It still changes to its original form properly.
