Bug with Spidops EX and Beach Court interaction

Game state:

  • Opponent had 3 Spidops EX played, giving +3 to my retreat costs
  • I had Regieleki VMAX in my active slot with 1 energy attached

Actions taken:

  • I played Beach Court with the expectation that my retreat would be lowered to 2
  • I played an energy on the Regieleki VMAX to reach 2 total

Expectation:

  • Regieleki VMAX's retreat cost should have been lowered to 2

Actual:

  • Regieleki VMAX's retreat cost remained 3. This was not a visual bug, even after adding another energy (and spamming the confused emote) I was not able to retreat.

This interaction lost me the game :(

My ign is Thanners if any devs need it to dig deeper. Thanks.

    It's not a bug... "Beach Court" as the card says "The Retreat Cost of each Basic Pokémon in play (both yours and your opponent's) is 1 less."

    Regieleki VMAX's it's not a Basic Pokémon so it's not affected by that stadium, the 3 retreat cost is correct in that situation.

    Please read cards before spending the time to type out a long post.


    Why is it that we get detailed posts like this for things that aren't bugs, but when it's an actual bug people are like, "dis broke pls fix"
