What type of bug are you reporting? Unsure
What is the bug?
Light Metal (and possibly Heavy Metal) does not impact the displayed base power of Heavy Slam (and presumably any weight based move)
Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
I was playing a Challenge Cup 2v2 game and used Heavy Slam Light Metal Metagross vs my opponent's Sawsbuck and Barboach. If the base power on targets differs, it will display separate base powers for both targets. In this case, 120 Base Power is what displayed when I hovered over it implying that both Pokemon were affected by a 120 Base Power move. While this is normally true, Sawsbuck is affected by Heavy Slam as a 60 Base Power move with Light Metal.
An easy test case would be a double battle using two Duraludon on the same team with the different abilities and heavy slam vs something of weight that is affected by no weight ability, heavy metal, and light metal - such as Lilligant
