Bug Fixes

Gameplay/Battle

• Fixed an issue that occasionally prevented valid cards from being selectable during a search action.

Cards

• Fixed an issue where Mega Skarmory ex’s (POR #055) Sonic Ripper attack shuffled all attached cards into the deck instead of shuffling only the attached Energy.
• Fixed an issue where letting the action timer run out while using Shaymin’s (POR #003) Send Flowers attack could cause a long delay and missing controls before the Energy was attached automatically.
• Fixed an issue where Decidueye ex’s (POR #012) Sniper’s Eye Ability would not be consistently applied to its attack costs if the opponent had used an attack from a Technical Machine on the previous turn.
• Fixed an issue where playing Naveen (POR #079) with exactly three other cards in hand could automatically discard those cards instead of letting the player choose what to discard.
• Fixed an issue where Kingdra’s (PAR #032) Whirltide attack could leave the player unable to continue their turn until the action timer ran out if no Energy cards were revealed.
• Fixed an issue where Turtonator’s (POR #017) Shell Spikes Ability would not consistently discard Energy from the Attacking Pokémon if that Energy was attached as part of the attack’s effect.
• Fixed an issue where Mimikyu’s (GRI #58) Copycat attack did not copy the Geobuster attack from the Pokémon Tool card Core Memory (POR #070) after an opponent’s Mega Zygarde ex (POR #047) used that attack on the previous turn.

General

• Fixed an issue where the new Dragapult ex starter deck incorrectly contained 4 Caretaker (TWM #144) instead of 4 Buddy-Buddy Poffin (TEF #144).
  • This fix is not retroactive. Players who already claimed this deck can update their deck list manually using the Buddy-Buddy Poffin cards received as part of several other new starter decks introduced in Version 1.36.0.
• Fixed an issue where the game could get stuck loading the main menu, causing buttons and controls to stop responding.
• Fixed an issue where the Variant Drawer could fail to show all available variants after the player switches to another card in Big Card View.
• Various other fixes and polish.
