Why are they actually banned? I mean they only bug out under specific circumstances, but I mean if we just banned every move that was bugged in specific scenarios, then we'd have thunder wave banned/other moves I can't think of right now. Could just be like "use mirror coat and counter at your own discretion" since I don't think its really a deadlock issue unlike torment.

its doubles. so no one is going to run baton pass as usual
 
edit: mirror coat+counter unbanned? or just error from singles copy

Even then i can see some people work around that move even in doubles especially without sleep clause

Can I get a response for this? I mean there's not a great reason to keep them banned, since they're not utterly broken in doubles and should never cause a deadlock.

It's not a good idea for me to explain how to reproduce it, but we've figured out what causes the bug and determined that it's extremely exploitable/unfair, to a much greater extent than the bugged Thunder Wave/Lightningrod interactions (the problem with that is the ability anyway, not the move). Counter and Mirror Coat cannot be allowed in doubles at all in their current form due to the nature of the issue.

 

On the bright side though, it will be fixed next update~

I did a decent amount of the preliminary testing with zehkar with the bug. I don't really see how its exploitable
