Eternatus Vmax + Rapid Strike Kecleon Bug

While applying Eternatus Vmax's ability "Eternal Zone" if one of your benched pokemon is "Chromashift" Kecleon with a Darkness Energy attached, if you later try to move the Darkness Energy off the Kecleon using something like Weavile GX's "Shadow Connection" ability it can softlock the game depending on how many energies are attached to the pokemon the energy is moved to.

The energy moved from kecleon becomes temporary inaccessible and the pokémon you moved the energy to gets moved to the bottom of the display, overlapping your hand, making it uninteractable.

This can be solved by using another ability to move the energy again causing the pokémon to go back to its correct space on the board. However if the only energy attached to that pokemon is the Darkness Energy moved off of kecleon, it's inaccessible locking your game as it wants you to move a Darkness Energy when none are available.

This has been a consistent and repeatable issue and can provide images of the problem as needed.

Thanks!

    That's tough… too bad that Expanded is still a mess, haven't played it for a while.
