Opponents able to use attacks with less energy than required?
It seems my opponent was able to use attacks with less energy attached than is required. In addition, the energy discard rules did not apply. Only discarding 1 energy instead of 2 energy cards in the case.
Not sure if this is a bug or cheating, but this has happened to me twice in the past two days.
(pardon the screen shots, I was trying to figure out my video capture software on the fly)
Anyone else experiencing this?

correcting myself: charizard's burn brightly gives all fire energy to be equal to 2 energy on ANY pokemon for 1 turn
my bad for the mistake but yes....his charizard's burn brightly was buffing his arcanine

You're right. I feel silly for making such a fuss. I appreciate the feedback.

Gosh, thank you for pointing that out. I completely missed that...I honestly thought something fishy was going on. Tough lesson to learn. Thanks again.

Hey no problem, just gotta watch what is on the board before making a play

arcanine ex tera is able to use bright flame without discarding two energy. Right now, only one energy needs to be discarded. This makes the card op so its being run rampantly to take advantage of this. Do devs browse this forum to see what bugs are being reported or should i also make a bug report? Before im called out for posting in the first place instead of making a report, i saw the similar discussion and wanted to add merit. While half of the problem may have been due to charizard’s ability, the other half still stands; arcanine ex tera’s energy discard after bright flame is bugged to allow (it even encourages by correcting the user if they try to discard two) one discard instead of two.
