Every time I use an ability it ends my turn

I can't figure out how to use an ability on a benched or active pokemon without it ending my turn like an attack does.

    All of them I have tried. Evolution roar, Primate Wisdom, Intrepid Sword are some. Also, I'm not clicking end turn.

    And you aren't clicking "end turn?"

    Note that some abilities end your turn as part of their effect; Intrepid Sword is one of them. The others that you mentioned shouldn't though so I don't know what's going on there.

    No I'm not clicking end turn, it just ends my turn like I did an attack. Even if the pokemon is on the bench when I use the ability.

    Could it be timing you out, from a weak connection or bug in the game or just taking too long? It’s done that to me a few times.

    Are you playing on an old device, or maybe with a weak internet connection?

    if the game lags a decent amount of time, you may time out before the timer even shows on your screen.
