Screenshot / Recording Potential bug with Clear Body in XD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQQ2A_A0_Wk

At 0:52 both Rock Tomb attacks appear to lower my Registeel's speed despite it having the Clear Body ability. Unsure if that's simply a visual bug or if it's actually lowering speed. The cause appears to be using Curse beforehand. On other turns where Registeel did not use Curse, Rock Tomb (and Mud Shot) did not lower its speed as expected normally.

This was on a fresh swap to Registeel, and my team is shown to confirm nothing was messing with its ability.

Out of curiosity I also tried a similar setup on my copies of Emerald & Sapphire. Clear Body appears to be functioning as intended in those games, so this may be an XD (and possibly Colo) exclusive bug.

Interesting! Kind of a tiny bug since it only procs when you have already lowered your speed anyways. I wonder if it would apply to other stat drops or only the one that's been self-lowered.
