I don't if it's actually a bug, but it seems like Venusaur doesn't have the luck of the other 2 starters competitors and doesn't get his ability (pretty important because it covers his 2 major weaknesses), It's my favourite of the starters and actually my favourite pokemon, it's a shame I can't use it competitively because it has this handicap, can you please check if it is a thing or not

P.S. I tested on several growlithes and shows that ember is super-effective.

Thick Fat does not cancel the super effective message.
