Extreme Lag Between Actions

Since the update today, every action is followed by a significant lag time. This appears to apply to all cards, benching Pokemon, and attacking. Something major breaks after seemingly every update.

I am experiencing the same thing, I also am struggling to find matches in ranked…

Same here. Finding matches takes forever (whether Ranked or Casual—and I'm in Arceus / Master League), actions lag, or sometimes will not register on both ends. For example, I benched a Pokémon by dragging it to the Bench and ended my turn. From my end, the Pokémon appeared on the Bench and no longer in my hand. Then my opponent plays Iono and shuffles my Pokémon from the Bench (!) into my deck. I look at the battle log, and sure enough the game no longer thinks I benched a Pokémon that turn, i.e. that it was in my hand (unplayed) the whole time.

Thanks for reporting this everyone! The team is aware of these issues and is actively investigating.

Can you guys just get a bigger team together, create a payed offline version of the game that we can play on steam or mobile - that has full expanded, no banned cards, have multiple different tournaments inside the game(maybe add a story)
Than sell that game, and THAN use that team to fix this game - I seen you quietly remove the beta tag from expanded without adding anything.

I've been having the same problem. It lagged so hard my munkidori started floating and continued well into my opponent's turn
