leafy camo poncho bug???

please let me know the detail about this tool function.. the description show; (Whenever your opponent plays a Supporter card from their hand, prevent all effects of that card done to the Pokémon VSTAR or Pokémon VMAX this card is attached to.).. then why my Pokémon VSTAR (Lugia & Alolan Vulpix) still take the effect of opponent Supporter card (Boss Order; Cyrus or Giovanni)??

    Was the Pokemon with the Poncho on the active or on the bench? Boss's Orders is only considered to affect the benched Pokemon it tries to bring into the active spot. If it's attached to the active Pokemon, there's no interaction.

    Question:

    1) Was your Pokemon VSTAR your active Pokemon or were they the Pokemon that got swapped in by Boss's Orders? If you use Boss's Orders on a benched Pokemon VSTAR that's holding Leafy Camo Poncho then the effect will be canceled, but if you use it on a benched Pokemon that doesn't have Supporter effects immunity while your Pokemon holding Leafy Camo Poncho is on the active spot, then your Pokemon will be moved to the bench. I believe that this is intentional behavior. However, if the Pokemon holding this tool was the one targeted by Boss's Orders while on the bench then it would be a bug, unless...

    2) Was your opponent's active Pokemon holding a Tool Jammer? If they were, then Leafe Camo Poncho is deactivated.

    @Sakura150612 tool jammer doesn't interact with Leafy Camo Poncho, tool jammer only affects tools attached to the active pokémon.

    The bleeping card doesn't work. No tool jammer's are in effect. Another bug. Same problem exists in both the mobile and desktop app. Battery life on the mobile app is still awful as well. Just lost a match to Steve836695 and he used Boss's orders twice on Vstar pokemon that had the useless Leafy Poncho card attached.

    You didn't answer the important question. Was the tool on the benched Pokemon or on the active?

    Of course it was on a benched Pokemon why would it matter if it was on the active, that's what your trying to prevent by using this buggy item.

    Also, why are we posting bugs to a forum? Are there actually any developers monitoring this forum or is this just a complaint thread?

    Because we've had multiple cases of people thinking that putting it on the active protects the bench. You're also the only one complaining about this so something seems off.
