I have tried several games now, and these bugs still keeps coming: No valid cards when using abilities, or cards to search your library. Stuck in a draw step (one card is suddently stuck while drawing cards, and it's a coin toss if you can actually draw a card, and put it in your hand, or it gets stuck in the middle and you just have to concede.)

I have now tried to actually play several games, and i have conceded around 10 games, in a row, because of these bugs. The game ''works'' on mobile, i am using a newer apple iphone, and i can probably get 10-12 games out of one full charge. The optimisation on this game is a JOKE.

compared to say MTGArena, Magic has tens of thousands of cards, with complexe abilities and synergies. Pokemon has way less, it should not be that hard to make a digital card game stable.

    Yes, it's as if they'll never see the end of the tunnel: they fix bugs, but two more of them disappear than before...

    same, 20-30% of games since update have this issue... basically have to surrender. This is after i already couldn't pick anything from battle vip pass with same behaviour. Initially there was no border, after clicking to 'all' and back to 'valid' shadow cards were revealed.

    That link brings us to the game selection page but there is no clear ticket submission path. This, im assuming is by design?

    dear players, i suggest its better to play the physical card game, these bugs will most likely exist after 5 years from now or forever, the company is not willing/unable to fix these bugs.
