Reporting Glitch and Exploit: Cobalion-GX's GX Attack doesn't register as a GX Attack

Dude used his GX attack every single turn and the game just let him. There was nothing played that would allow him to do this, the game just simply didn't register him using his GX attack and let him use it over and over again.

    I also did that, but nothing good came of it… first someone tried to tell me that the Power Plant Stadium allowed them to do that… so I had to explain to them that the Power Planet Stadium only shuts off Abilities… then I got another email basically saying I might not hear back from them about it.
