Charge move bug?

Sometimes when battling a gym, I'll accidentally hold a little on my quick attacks. But sometimes, when I first send my pokemon in it uses it's charge move as a first attack. I can't tell if it deals damage or not, I wasn't paying attention; but the text displays and there's no animation. Sometimes the opponent does this too. Has anyone else seen this?

Sometimes when a pokemon faints right as it starts to use its charge move, the next pokemon that comes in will display that it is using its charge move.

I've read some people claiming that if you do not initiate a quick move for your next pokemon when this happens, then it will actually use its charge move and deal damage, but using a quick move will interrupt this bug. Never been able to replicate this myself though.

A new gym defender switching in like this can also display that it is using its special, but I have never seen one actually deal damage this way.

I know what you mean.
I think it doesn't really happen because the previous pokemon just fainted.

It would happen if the previous pokemon was still in health.
