Switch Cart is bugged

Currently the game doesn't allow you to play switch cart on Pokémon that have 0 retreat cost.

This is an issue since you may want to use it to heal your Pokémon while retreating.

    Switch Cart only works on basics. Was the Pokémon in question a basic? If not, remember to read your cards carefully before assuming there's a bug. If it was Regieleki VMAX you're the second person to make this exact same mistake recently lol.

    Nope it was Mew V (Basic V not VMAX), weird thing is it only happens in some matches and well I can retreat normally which has no cost because Mew V has no retreat cost, but sometimes I want to use the additional effect of healing 30 dmg but the game won't allow me to use it then next turn it works on a different Mew V but no the one I want to use it on which makes it annoying.

    I don't think the disagree was necessary. This is literally the first "Switch Cart is bugged" thread I've seen where it wasn't someone not realizing it's only for basics.

    It's odd though. I don't believe that the free retreat is the issue personally. I think it's something else.
