On turn 26 of this replay, opponent Bacowl uses future sight with slowking. For some reason, it does not attempt to hit me (abcabcbabc) on turn 28. There is no message in the chat saying (future sight did not hit the user this turn). Instead, it hits me on turn 29, 3 turns after the move was originally used, instead of the 2 turns it is supposed to activate on.
Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
I did attempt replicate this as best I can (all the mons, the randbats EVs, teras, etc. and doing everything again turn by turn) and was able to replicate future sight hitting 3 turns after. The replay is below:

I also replicated the game a second time, posted below, where I did not have the opponent kill my cyclizar the turn before the future sight hit in the original game. This resulted in future sight hitting in 2 turns, rather than 3.

This suggests that the change is related to the pokemon having died during the turn it is supposed to hit, and may be related to the dragon tail that brought the slowking in initially. I have played comp pokemon for many years and I know future sight is supposed to activate 2 turns later. There may be some very obscure mechanic that makes it hit later than 3 turns when a pokemon dies before, and if so I apologize for wasting your staff's time.
