Synchronize (Ability): Difference between revisions

→‎Effect: it is my understanding that generally, there only need to be new headers when a mechanic actually changed, not when a new feature was introduced
(If I may, I think it's important to say that because, even if it's not really an exception, it clearly explains when the behavior starts being different from what you'd expect it to be)

====Generation VII====
In [[SOS Battle]]s, if a Pokémon with Synchronize is in the first slot of the party when the wild Pokémon calls an ally, there is a 50% chance that the called ally will be forced to have the same [[Nature]] as the Pokémon in the first slot. Due to a bug, however, if a different Pokémon was in battle and was then replaced by the Pokémon with Synchronize, the called Pokémon will synchronize to the Nature of the Pokémon that was originally in the first slot, instead of the Nature of the Pokémon with Synchronize that replaced it.
