Actual situation was Alakazam vs Entei. Entei used lava plume, burning alakazam. Synchronize was then able to burn entei, even though it is a fire type and should be immune to that status condition. I did not test if it worked with paralysis on electric types, or poison on poison types, but it seems like that it does that as well.

Hey Groudon367,

thanks for reporting this bug!

After a few tests I can confirm that this bug exists for Synchronize + Burn / Paralyze Set-Ups.
I tested this with an Alakazam in a trainer & a pvp battle on 8.2.0 (local server & single player) with no extra mods installed and was able to confirm that this happens with Burn (Will-O-Wisp vs Entei) and Paralyze (Thunder Wave vs Zapdos).
I could not manage to get it to work with poison (Toxic vs Muk), which wasn't passed onto the opponent by the Alakazams Synchronize.


I will mark this ticket as "Awaiting move to internal" & lock it, if you have anything else to add feel free to create another ticket. Thank you very much!

Sincerely, NotKili

Just as a note for further debugging, both poison and badly poisoned correctly didn't sync. Wanted to make sure that Toxic wasn't a special case of poison.

Did Grimer with Poison Gas against an Umbreon.
