Had a funny experience just now. The game will not let you use cards like switch cart if the Pokémon you have in play has a retreat cost of zero. I retreated my active Pokémon (Regelecki VMAX which has a zero-retreat cost) into my other Regelecki. I then tried to use switch cart, but the game wouldn't let me, because even though I had used my 1 retreat for the turn already, Regelicki still has a retreat cost of 0, so the game wouldn't let me "waste a card" by using switch cart. Comment your similar experiences.

    Switch cart can only retreat basic Pokemon.

    Please read your cards. Just think for a second, why would they release a card that's just Switch but better? It only works if there's a basic in the active spot.
