Iron Thorns

Graceziel

Hello I think there is a bug on Iron Thorns ability, you see I have an active "IT" against a Lugia V-Star Deck how come it can use its V-Star ability considering V has Rule Boxes.

If you are an Official do review my match. It didnt have any Cancelling Cologne.

Did they have Flutter Mane in the active?

Lygars

yeah there are Lugia VStar decks that include Flutter Mane, as long as it is in the Active Spot, your opponent’s Active Pokémon has no Abilities, except for Midnight Fluttering. Therefore your opponent can use Lugia VStar ability from the bench bro

Graceziel

Sadly it didnt have a fluttermane I double checked it. Not new to those Null effects that and klefki in gardevoir decks.

Lygars

there are more then those, hence without log or at least an image it's just educated guessing bro

there is definitely a bug with thorns. Slightly different type of situation but when against quad thorns deck I've been able to use both star chronos and star requiem on multiple turns (separate games)

Should iron thorns shut down charizards ability an stop him from gaining energy? It didnt stop it in few matches i played. But i thought it should have unless im mistaken.

@Perfect_Jab They most likely used Canceling Cologne

Perfect_Jab

Nope, didnt use canceling cologne. If they did i wouldnt of asked. Since the answer would be OBVIOUS

Those are vstar attacks and not vstar abilities. Iron thorns would not stop those. The same way path to the Peak didn't stop them before
