first pic - looks like that leaf is dying

second pic - I can't be sure, but that might just be water spots or mineral spots from fertilizer

third pic - looks like that leaf is dying - leaf above looks quite dehydrated

fourth pic - I'm not sure that's anything to worry about, altho the leaf looks quite dehydrated

last pic - could be bruised or other mechanical damage ? also looks dehydrated

I would check the roots

they all just got repotted, so their roots are good now, all the dead have been removed. ive just never seen a leaf so scaly, and its happening all of sudden it seems.

Yellowing leaves often mean a light, fertilizer, or overwatering issue with other plants. If the roots are good, how is the phal's crown? How long ago was the phal repotted and how quickly does the medium dry out? It is possible to brush aside some moss and just recheck the roots? Sorry for all the questions. I always like to eliminate issues one by one until I find the solution.

When bottom, older leaves turn yellow, it is normal.

they were all just repotted a week and a half ago, the drainage isnt slow at all, it usually dries out within like 5 days or so. i only thought the yellowing was weird because it looked so scaly and different than old leaves ive seen turn yellow and fall off of orchids before. but it is the lower one. it worried me because all the ones that look that way started to look like that after i repotted them all.
