Fast moves +10 issue

If you look at almost any pokemon, it's fast move has a +10 next to it. It's as if it was weather buffed, except it's everyone, all the time.

I expect this is making PvP battles very short, and making the faster moves much more damaging. In particular, Magikarp and Slaking are doing +10 with Splash and Yawn.

I doubt this is permanent, but it's kind of weird. Comments?

I hope so, but it seems that pokemon go down very fast in PvP battles. About the only thing that didn't was when I used Flygon against Spark's Ultra team - I hardly took any damage because Flygon triple resists electric.

It feels fast to you because pokemon in pvp battles don't have double health like gym defenders do. It's very clear that it's a visual glitch, battling would be completely broken if the damage boost was actually there.

There's also the multiplier rebalance to consider. Super effective moves do more damage than we're used to. There's also the "fastAttackBonusMultiplier": 1.3 value in the PvP mechanics, which I assume is a damage bonus multiplier to keep battles from stalling out.
