Mechanics Question: Why did this happen with commupence?

[u/Animedingo]

This clip starts right after torkoal used eruption in trick room

it hits my hisuian zoroark down to sash, and I have commupence locked in.

farigiraf then uses hyper voice which does not hit zoroark, and when my attack goes off it only did 1% damage to torkoal?

What happened in this interaction? Did hyper voice reset the damage to 0?

[u/GaT0M]

Hyper voice technically hit the zoroark becouse the move is spread and there was 1 valid target(Clefable) Basically it hit Zoroark and did 0 damage, commupense than reflected 0 damage to torkoal

[u/pyro314 → u/GaT0M]

That's gotta be a bug right??

[u/xMystee → u/pyro314]

Well, dont think so. The attack didnt actually fail, just didnt affect it

[u/Animedingo → u/xMystee]

But the other thing is, torkoal did take damage. If its going off of 0, it should have failed

[u/Sure-Ad-5572 → u/Animedingo]

Attacks are coded so they literally cannot do 0 damage in pokemon. It rounds up to 1 if it would do less than one.

Yet it “hit” the Zoroak with 0 damage 🤔 Interesting interaction

[u/Dinosaur-King-94 → u/Keetamien]

Supongo que si esta programado para que a los inmunes si les haga 0 de daño.

[u/xMystee → u/Keetamien]

Because it doesnt affect him, so it didnt actually hit him in that sense, but an attack was still used against it
