Gardevoir ex - Psychic Embrace Bug

The community and myself are talking to a wall.

Gardevoir ex's ability Pyschic Embrace does NOT work on Pokémon that were shuffled back into the deck from the discard pile. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM! There is no communication from the development team which leads us to only assume you are not aware or just don't care to fix it. It feels like your project managers are prioritizing new avatar clothes and new energy logos over correcting this.

Gardevoir is a top tier deck, but I am deterred from playing it because of this bug. Matches are lost solely because of this problem. I have to makes decisions in my gameplay actively avoiding this bug.

Actually... I'm not only deterred from playing Gardevoir ex, I'm deterred from playing PTCL in it's entirety because of these issues.

I love the TCG and this community, but this client and lack of communication is ruining our gaming experience.

    Couldn't agree more. This pernicious bug has been around since the update of this card. But it just won't be fixed. It makes me incredibly sick every time I have to tap concede because of this bug when I'm about to win. And disappointed that ptcg live is replacing online.

    Same issue. Totally prepared to send some damage across with my Cresselia and could not attach an energy card using Gardi's Psychic Embrace. I played Super Rod and then Fog Crystal to bring her into the game.

    Lost the game later.

    I just ran into this AGAIN this morning. So frustrating. And it's not like it's an obscure case. Gardevoir ex is a meta deck, and Pokemon recovery is a central mechanic of the game. It's especially bad because, as others have said, it only comes up at pivotal moments: you've just made a tricky play where you found a way to get off a meaningful attack and... you can't play. It's a concede every time it happens. There are other bugs in this game for sure, but this one feels like it's the most egregious right now.
