Done Encore-boosted priority vs priority protection effects

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
A non-priority move caused to have priority by Encore ignores Psychic Terrain protection (and maybe also Armor Tail).

If Pokémon A uses Tackle on Turn 1 and then clicks Quick Attack on Turn 2 while a faster Prankster Pokémon B uses Encore on it, it will instead use Tackle but keep the +1 Priority of Quick Attack.

In Showdown, this ignores Psychic Terrain protection - in Pokémon SV, it does not.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
Check out Turns 2 and 3 of this replay: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regf-2091589076-qeo000ovxysyltfhgletdm8nlgna1vupw

Ursaluna uses Hyper Voice on turn 2. On turn 3 it clicks Vacuum Wave (a priority move), but gets Encored to instead use Hyper Voice (with Priority).
This hits both opponents even though they should be protected by Psychic Terrain.
