Talonflame ex's Excited Dive ability not working under Evolution Jammer

As the title states, I had Talonflame ex in hand and Mega Kangaskhan in play, my opponent attacked with Evolution Jammer Bronzong the prior turn and I was unable to play Talonflame onto my bench. Once I KOed the Bronzong and the next turn wasn't under Evolution Lock, I was able to use Talonflame's ability.

    Unless there was something else in play that prevented the use of Talonflame ability... yes, what you described is a bug.

    I mean Bronzong's Evolution Jammer only blocks you from playing cards from your hand to evolve, but since Excited Dive simply puts Talonflame ex directly onto the Bench, it shouldn't be affected at all.

    I am experiencing a similar issue. However, it's just not triggering at all. No evolution jammer or anything. I am playing a game as I type this, and I have 2 Mega Lopunny out (One on the bench, one in the active). It's not allowing me to utilize Talonflames ability. Now, I will say, I do have a team rockets watchtower down, but I am under the impression that since Talonflame is not in play that doesn't impact it's ability? If that is the case then, there is definitely a bug. If that was patched and it does now impact it, that makes Talonflame pretty nerfed.
