Very frustrating that opponent's Super Rod does not show what it shuffles back into the deck

It's very annoying when an opponent uses a Super Rod, as it does not show what they chose to shuffle in. An in-game log of actions like PTCGO would be the obvious solution, but at least bring it up on screen what's being shuffled...

    It only shows to the opponent when it explicit says on the card that it does, so even with logs that information wouldn't be available to you if they use Super Rod...


    Cards like Utra ball shows to the opponent because it explicit says "reveal it":

    "Discard 2 cards from your hand. Search your deck for a Pokémon, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward."

    Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that when moving from the discard to a private location. Not only are you supposed to show it, but you have to answer honestly if asked which cards you took. I think the devs mistakenly took it this way though...

    Right, the discard pile is not private information, so it should still show the opponent what is being taken from it.

    You should know what's in their drop, pay attention and you'll know what went back. It's not private

    It has to explicit say on the card that will be shown in moves with cards from the deck, but that does not apply to moves from cards in the discard pile.

    In the Super Rod case it should show because it's getting cards from discard pile, the logs would also be a great feature to have back in general to track stuff that we miss or to be sure of what happen 🤔

    I belive it's a feature they will add sooner or later, it only makes sense 🙏
