    This game doesn't have logs. Were you playing PTCGLive or PTCGOnline?


    Also, read cards. Ninetales V's first attack copies other attacks.

    • Card Type / HP / Stage:Fire / 200 / Basic
    • Attack 1:[2R] Nine-Tailed Shapeshifter
    • Choose 1 of your opponent's Active Pokemon's attacks and use it as this attack.
    • Attack 2:[3R] Flamethrower (180)
    • Discard an Energy from this Pokemon.
    • Weakness / Resistance / Retreat Cost:Wx2 / None / 2

    It's first attack.

    But photon barrier should stop the copy

    @SkillsByNiels No, it shouldn't. The copying of the attack is not considered to be an effect on Mewtwo V-UNION. Photon Barrier can only prevent effects which do something to Mewtwo V-UNION, such as placing damage counters, applying a special condition, turning off an ability, preventing an attack from being used, etc. This interaction is working correctly.
