Can't place a card, why? Also, can people cheat?
Hey all. Been playing for a few weeks and I have encountered a situation several times that is really confusing me. It feels like people are cheating somehow. I also encountered something tonight that has me confused. I took a screenshot of it but it looks like I can't post screenshots here so I'll explain this after the first issue.
1 - Several times I've encountered people who, when I try to attack, it shows I'll be doing zero damage. When I issue my attack, it appears like there's a shield over the other player's card. I can't see anything in play that would cause that. The example tonight was the other player had a card down. I don't recall the card but nothing on it indicated any sort of damage reduction or anything. They did have the Defiance Band attached to the card but that gives +30 damage for their attacks, not damage reduction from attacks. And only if they have more prize cards than me, but we each still had 6. Other than that, I couldn't see anything that would cause this shield protection. What am I missing? What should I look for next time?
2 - In this second situation, I had two Quaxly's on my bench. One had one water energy attached. I wanted to evolve the card that the water attached but the game would only let me evolve the one without the water attached. Why would that be?
Thanks.

- A lot of things. Could be a card's innate type resistance (many steel cards take 30 less damage from grass) but the only way to know for sure is to see the board state.
- If you put a pokemon on your bench during your turn, it can't evolve until your next turn.

Without more specific details like game logs it's impossible to be sure what caused the situations you described... next time look at the game log, if you're still confuse export it and share it in your post.
