[Bug Exploit] Furisode Girl

I've queued into two different players in Arceus League who are abusing a bug exploit with Furisode Girl. The basic pokemon that Furisode Girl searches out and places on bench are able to evolve immediately. Players are abusing this with Koffing and Sobble to evolve immediately.

    This bug was not fixed with the latest update. Looks like the Arceus League players decided to keep this one for themselves so they could continue exploiting the bug for as long as possible.

    Could the devs emergency ban Furisode Girl before this gets out of hand?

    Can confirm that this is reproducible. You can get Lugia Vstar out on your first turn if you go second...

    Furisode Girl appears to work on Vs as well, so you can T1 Mew VMAX, Lugia VStar, Arceus Vstar by going second.

    This means that Nest Ball is probably also bugged. Probably another programming shortcut.


    @TPCi_CursedSoup @Mod_Aerator Can you please look at this? This is a very serious bug. At this point it's probably best to do a full ladder reset for everyone.

    @TechHog I don't believe that there's an issue with VIP Pass, so it could just be Furisode Girl.

    Thanks Devs for the quick card ban!

    @jon11w VIP Pass only works on your first turn, which they likely disabled all evolution on.

    @TechHog A full ladder reset isn't necessary, as anyone who abused the bug probably already claimed any rewards. A ban of Furisode Girl should do.

    When the game is "released" out of beta, a match history reset and a pack count(400 opening limit) reset to 0 should be implemented. This is for all the losses and pack openings that did not work. Also for all the premium codes entered that gave 10 or 25 coins, no cards, and no game lute like PTCGO does for the same code. Better yet, find a way to recompensate everyone for these losses. I just can imagine how, but I am not a game developer. Still, these losses came with peoples wasted time, and hard earned money...

    At least when all is "fixed", people can have their match records start from scratch and reattempt to enter new codes for the products that they tried to redeem and where bug scammed out of.
