Damage Counter placement

Just some feedback since using the new Dragapult EX. Would be nice to have the option to group damage counters or place on just one card vs only being able to drag six counters one at a time. It becomes very tedious very quickly especially when you would only want to damage a single pokemon.

Thanks!

    Yeah I agree. It's not terrible, but still a bit annoying, especially because the damage is usually going to 1 place.

    I kinda agree too. Having "tested" Dragapult ex yesterday, I agree that it would be easier to find a more streamlined way of placing damage counters on opposing Benched Pokémon. I imagine Lost Box players that place counters with Sableye deal with this problem as well, but with double the counters.

    I third this, maybe have a 50 and a 10, this way if you want to spread damage you can just use the 10 and it will take 10 from the 50.

    While I haven't tried to use Dragapult EX yet, I agree that it is a bit tedious to drag 6 counters individually when you want to damage a single Pokémon, but it is good if you want to damage multiple Pokémon

    I agree and disagree. Putting 10 at a time can be tedious but at least it allows you to play the card as intended: “in any way you like”. This new 30/20/10 split thing they have makes it to where I can’t spread the damage across the board as needed. Ex. 10/10/10/10/20 for a bench full of Ogerpawn Ex and one Raging Bolt Ex, or a 20/20/10/10 split for two Chien Pao Ex and two 70 HP Frigibax. I know these are very specific situations, but if I need to do it I should at least be able to. This is the kind of thing is very important at a competitive level. Convenience is nice, but at least have a toggle option or a 50-/10 option or something. That way everyone is happy and they can play, as the card states, in any way they like. Same deal for Sableye.

    Dude, just move the 10. The others will change after.

    I just figured this out by accident and now I feel silly. It would have been nice if support would have pointed this out, but at least I have y’all! Thanks!
