It's not a misplay, it's RNG manipulation
Currently in the games Pokemon Sun and Moon, when Z-Memento or Z-Parting Shot are used in online play the game will crash, disconnecting both players and ending the game in a tie.
Clearly this is a major glitch, and Pokemon has decided to ban the moves Memento and Parting Shot from all online battles with random matchings and VGC. It'll still crash if you play against a friend online. We still don't know if or when a patch to fix it will be applied.
The point of this thread is to ask: do we stay faithful to the cartridge mechanics on Pokemon Showdown to the point where these glitches are considered, and if so do we ban Memento and Parting Shot from all gen 7 battles? Or do we go for the complex ban with the combination of Darkinium Z + either of these moves? Or do we use the "HP percentage mod/sleep clause" argument and pretend like this glitch doesn't exist at all?
Just for reference, there's precedent of banning glitch-inducing moves with BW Doubles banning Sky Drop.
