How is this still a problem? I am not able to search with any of the searching cards. No balls, no searching pokemons, NOTHING. It is UNPLAYABLE on pc. I cannot use the abilities of my cards. None of these cards work properly. (Before you ask. Yes, I do have cards that match the recquirements of searching). I have posted about this problem months ago. This makes me just not want to come back to the game and leave it.

    Same error here. Biggest annoyance is the top left corner - you see that THERE ARE valid cards in an expected number of them, but the selection prompt says there are none. I am tired of this error on desktop (Windows 10), and even more tired of playing on my phone, and my phone is tired as well since the battery drain is immense even with power saving features enabled on a system level.

    Same problem here, they forced us to migrate on an unfinished game version.

    They don't care about players.

    Have they abandoned Pokemon TCG Live for PC? It works on my mobile, but I prefer to play on PC, but it's been several updates since any ball/battle pass vip cards worked...

    I have this exact same problem, it seems to be with specific cards in the deck only. I have removed Battle VIP pass and then it seems to work fine.

    It happens to me when I put a sub-set trainer into my decks. This is really useful for deck building and testing.

    And why the hell this is happening? I'm a software developer and I can't figure out the piece of code who prevent use trainers from sub set lol

    Oh and by the way, I cannot play anymore because I got the 10099 message. Yeah, they said they fixed it. Whatever Pokemon.
