Acerola's Premonition not playable when opponent's hand is empty.

As per the title, Acerola's Premonition can't be played when the opponent does not have any cards in their hand. This might seem like a niche issue, but Mimikyu VMAX requires that the card be played in order to use the stronger version of its Ominous Numbers.

    That's not a bug. You can't play a card for no effect.

    More specifically, if public information guarantees that the Trainer card will fail, you may not play it.


    Since the opponent's hand has 0 cards, Acerola is guaranteed to fail and thus you can't play it in that situation.
