    I was training a Wobbuffet on Gold version, and when it was Lv31, I decided to put it against Bruno's Machamp.

    Machamp struck first w/ Rock Slide, which I countered, causing its health to go to the red zone. Then Bruno used a Max Potion, but I used Counter on the same turn, and I somehow one-shotted Machamp. Anyone know how that happened?
     
    Woah. O_O

    I've never used a Wobbufett, so I don't know, but my only guess is the game does another counter if you heal yourself. I'm stumped. [And I'll stop now because I have no idea what I'm talking about.]
     
    Maybe it suppose to happen I guess, but if you can do it again, then its not a glitch, but thats my opinion I guess....:\
     
    I've read somewhere that Counter attack can also effect the opposing Pokémon if a recovering item was used on it during the same turn. I'm not sure if this is relevant to your situation, but maybe it had to do with you're HP too at the time. But I don't believe a glitch occurred.
     
    maybe when it healed for example 200hp then it counter for 200hp+ with attak im not sure but ill try and c how it happened doesnt seem a glitch tho
     
    Well, just ignore it! It did help you win the battle didn't it? Heh.

    That, my friend, is either a lie or a glitch.

    Okay, Mirror Move would do damage for Rock Throw, not Counter. As for the whole potion thing, no, just no.

    So, has your game been tampered with before? That would explain a lot.
     
    I think I remember reading somewhere that in the first two generations, Counter didn't work like it was supposed to. I don't remember how exactly, though.

    Maybe, counter could have been programed if hp was changed in an unusual way. Like by using that item, it would have done damage for that.

    Its gold version. rock is still considered physical back then, not special.
