I also checked and I did have four PP remaining on Hydro Pump.
You might want to re-read Smogon's page, as that also says that Struggle only happens every other turn. Ah well, seems like I need to open up the game again... "$s was subjected to Torment!" "$s has no moves left!" "$s is hit with recoil!" - Always good to make sure that messages are also correct. ... and it should only make the Tormented Pokemon Struggle every other turn. (Shadow Punch, Struggle, Shadow Punch, Struggle etc) I think there was something else considering Torment that I wanted to test, but I can't remember it right now.
Shouldn't this thread have [Next Update] prefix? I didn't want to be presumptuous and edit it in myself.
Ok, fixed it. I realized I added an extra test because of Smogon's Description otherwise I would have had the right behavior from the start :mad:
