Is Zapdos really NVE against Dragonite?

Submit Feedback or Error

I did the math and found out that when NVE & SE cancel each other out like that the damage dealt equals 0,9996 of the neutral damage.

The difference is completely negligible so should I trust the mathematics and ignore the NVE notification during the battle or is there something more to it? Like, being resistant somehow overwrites weakness?

Pretty sure it is just a visual bug.

I think they cancel eachother. I would venture a guess that the client is calculating the damage modifier based on typing, and displaying NVE/SE based on whether it's more than or less than 1 - and their math works out just like yours, coming out to not-quite-1, hence it shows NVE.

Probably highly unlikely but have to wonder when or if that would ever result in damage being rounded down to the next lowest integer when a true neutral attack is not.
