Just played a match against a deck with Iron Thorns. There is a clear bug with its ability affecting pokemon like Kirlia, Radiant Greninja etc. I was not able to use their abilities even though they don’t have any rule boxes which hindered match play build up. Why is this happening?

    Well Radiant Greninja does have a rule box but I can't speak for Kirlia

    Otherwise post a log next time it happens
