I was playing gen 4 random battles and had Encore used against me. However, this lasted MORE than the maximum of 7 turns.
After turn 8 my Pokemon fainted, so I don't know if it would have worn off then.
Bulbapedia, Pokemondb, Serebii and such all list the move as 3 to 7 turns since Pokemon Platinum/Heartgold/Soulsilver, however Smogon lists it as 4-8 turns.
Why is there a difference between Smogon and all other sources and how can I know which one is actually correct?
I have been told in the chat to blindly trust Smogon, but I'd like an actual answer to this, as it could have costed me the game if I would have been unlucky.
