My rotom was behind a substitute but echoed voice damaged my rotom?!How is this possible?

What happened?

This is why…

Aurorus' ability Refrigerate turns Normal moves like Echoed Voice intoIce type moves, which means Echoed Voice can damage Rotom. Since sound-based moves like Echoed Voice hit though Substitutes in Generation 6, Rotom was damaged by the move.

Maybe the opposing Pokemon had Scrappy and it was a Sound-Based move that hit your Rotom. Sound-Based moves can hit behind Substitutes in Gen 6.

Oh wait, you had an Aurorus. xD

It’s ability, Refrigerate, turns all it’s moves into Ice-types moves and increases it’s power by 30%. So, that explains why it hit your Rotom, and all Sound-based moves can now hit a Substitute in Generation VI.

So yeah. xD

Hope I helped. :)SourceandSource

The Pokemon you were facing was an Aurorus with the ability Refrigerate. Refrigerate makes all normal moves become Ice which is why it hit through a Ghost and Substitute.
