Zero hit KO???

I was soloing a Zam with focus blast and doing okay, but not great. My second to last mon was a Ttar. As he got low on health, I emptied my energy as Zam wound up for a focus blast. I decided not to attempt a dodge and risk the dodge bug. I still had hounddoom on deck.
Ttar went down as expected; but when hounddoom came out, he immediately fainted as well, without taking a hit. I checked all my mon before the battle; so I know that he had full HP. How was my mom knocked out without taking a hit?

Focus blast is so strong it hits the Pokemon right after as well. You should have played Exodia the Forbidden one.

Serieus: no clue, probably server wide lag. Houndoom faints pretty fast against alakazam I noticed

It's some kind of a client server desync thing. Sometimes when you dodge the server and client will disagree about whether it was successful (commonly known as the dodge bug) but it seems that in solo battles it can take quite a while until the game rolls back and corrects the situation. One of your mons dying might be what triggers a forced sync. Usually when this happens the boss will regain HP and your mons will seemingly take damage out of nowhere.

I just had the same happen today when soloing a C/FB Alakazam and when my second to last attacker died, the boss regained a bunch of health and my last attacker came in with about 25% of its HP. Luckily I was still able to beat the raid but it was a lot closer than it should've been because of that glitch. The last attacker had literally 3 hp left after I won.

I ended up winning (my first Zam solo) on the second try, after restarting my phone and the game crashing 3 times in the lobby. I did more damage with my Gengars the second time, so I didn't get to hounddoom. He was PC/FB, which is probably the easiest, even when cloudy.
