My second turn on the game. Palkia was already in play. Literally cost the game because the card isn’t working as intended.


can clearly see a Palkia in play and vstars in the deck.

    Here's the effect of Grand Tree:

    Once during each player's turn, that player may search their deck for a Stage 1 Pokémon that evolves from 1 of their Basic Pokémon and put it onto that Pokémon to evolve it. If that Pokémon was evolved in this way, that player may search their deck for a Stage 2 Pokémon that evolves from that Pokémon and put it onto that Pokémon to evolve it. Then, that player shuffles their deck. (Players can't evolve a Basic Pokémon during their first turn or a Basic Pokémon that was put into play during this turn.)

    Your Palkia V-Star isn't valid because its stage is V-Star, not Stage 1.

    Yes, Pokemon342548 is correct. Palkia's technical stage is VSTAR, not stage one. If you used this on a stage one ex pokemon however, Grand Tree would be able to find it. This ace spec doesn't work on VMAXes or VSTARs.
