Bug Fixes

Gameplay/Battle

• Fixed an issue where allowing the action timer to expire after enabling Inspect Board during the selection process for some types of effects could cause Pokémon that had been inspected to disappear from view.
• Fixed an issue where Battle Log exports would replace the opponent’s screen name with placeholder text in the first entry of the start of each of their turns.

Cards

• Fixed an issue where Hydreigon ex’s (WHT #067) “Greedy Eater” Ability did not work consistently if it would be resolved at the same time as an effect from a different card that also occurs when a Pokémon is Knocked Out.
• Fixed an issue where Hydreigon ex’s (WHT #067) “Greedy Eater” Ability was being incorrectly prevented by Enamorus V’s (LOR #082) “Guardian of Love” Ability and other similar effects.

General

• Fixed an issue where the Select a Deck button on the Friend Challenge pop-up navigated back to the Profile screen instead of to the Deck Manager.
• Fixed an issue where the Friends list showed the incorrect level and Rank for each friend.
