Switch/ Switch Carts not allowed to play from hand

I've had a few games since the update where my switch and switch carts weren't allowed to be played despite pokemon on my bench.

You have to pay attention to when this happens and actually look at the board state to make sure there's nothing blocking you from using items. Also keep in mind that Switch Cart only works if the Pokémon in the Active Spot is a Basic.
