Does Radiant Rules really matter in TGC Live?
I was facing an opponent with a "Radiant Greninja". That's okay because I knock it out & I know that the player doesn't have another one because of the 'Radiant Rule" for Greninja is that you can't have another one. (Keep in mind, the opponent didn't have any cards that could get that Greninja back.) So, in the next few turns, I see another "Radiant Greninja" being pulled out & I'm like really confused. Any Thoughts?

I am not aware of a bug being able to put more than 1 Radiant Pokemon into a deck. My guess is that your opponent did play a card to recover the Pokemon. With the lack of a game log, it is always possible to miss something. Or perhaps you have found a new bug.

The funny thing is that I checked multiple times from their discard pile & there wasn't one single "recover the Pokémon" card. They were using a "Chien-Pao" deck, so there definitely wasn't a single card like that. So, I might've discovered a clearly broken bug.

The card they used to retrieve it also may have simply vanished into limbo instead of actually going to the discard pile. Super Rod is usually what the chien-pao deck uses (for energies mostly, but it can also retrieve pokemon)

Yeah, Radiant Greninja was in the discard pile. There also wasn't a Super Rod Supporter Card in that discard pile either. It might've been a bug in the match that maybe the player didn't even notice or did know they somehow had two? It was just a really weird match.

They didn't have it. I don't know why you would have the Super Rod in that deck anyways because you should have enough basic Pokémon & at least an energy recycler card.
