    Client Type (ex. PC, Android, Webclient): Mac

    Client Version (if known. Webclient has no version.): 2.6.2

    When did you first notice the bug?: today

    Have you been able to reproduce the bug?: yes

    Information (include relevant logs, replays, screenshots): http://imgur.com/a/wjlfK


    (If applicable) Sources to confirm the presence of a bug (ex. Smogon):
    http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/balancedhackmons-402554262

    So there is an interesting strategy in balanced hackmons concerning magnet pull: Use perish song, then use doom desire, and baton pass to a color change mon(opponent usually change due to perish song), then use skill swap, and make ur opponent a color change mon, and land the doom desire on it to make it steel, and then u die from perish song. Then send out magnet pull to trap it.
    see
    http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Color_Change_(Ability)
    or the replay on smogon to confirm.
    In my screenshot battling myself, magnet pull doesn't trap since no type change is activated.

    TL;DR
    So basically, Future Sight and Doom Desire should activate Color Change when they hit (they do not activate Color Change when used). This is effective starting from Gen V.


    Well i understand these two moves are complicated to fix, but just post here anyway. This must be easier to fix than the last one http://pokemon-online.eu/threads/33813/

    There are stuff as complicated as these, and conquering it should be a great moment of eureka for programmers :x
    Anyway such stuff doesn't affect major tiers, so not in a hurry, but do fix it in the future if possible :3
