[GAME] Marshadow-GX's Ability: Using this to attack with Glaceon-EX's Crystal Ray

[SuperPichu62]

For two games now, using Crystal Ray with having Marshadow-GX as my active and Glaceon-EX discard pile to use Marshadow's ability, hasfailed twice to work correctly with Crystal Rays subtext. What I mean by this is that I will have Marshadow use Crystal Ray, meaning all damage is prevented from Evolution Pokemon for my opponents turn. In Game 1, a Sylveon-GX attacked me using Fairy Wind for 110 and it went through without the effect of Crystal Ray activating to prevent the damage. In Game 2, an Espeon-GX hit me with its Psychic attack and it ALSO went through even though I used Crystal Ray to prevent that damage. It is unknown whether this is a glitch with Marshadow-GX or Glaceon-EX itself.

Hello there SuperPichu62,

 

Thank you for taking your time for the report. We do see issues with Marshadow-GX and Glaceon-EX. 

 

I have just forwarded your feedback along to the developers.

This is the thread for known issues where you can see all the current updates. 

 

Stay tuned! 

 

I've also updated the title of your thread to match the format used by this subforum.

Just popping in to say I've had the exact same thing happen twice. I opened a support ticket on 4/4. Obviously the latest patch broke something.

I just got a reply from TPCi on my support ticket, indicating this is a reported known issue. The "known issue" log doesn't contain any card-specific entries that seem to relate to this issue, but it does include this general gameplay entry from March 21:

 

Attack effects that create a damage reduction effect on the attacking Pokemon, such as Golisopod-GX's Armor Press attack, are removed at the end of the attacking player's current turn, rather than at the end of the opponent's next turn.

 

This is kind of a big deal, and suggests that the involvement of Marshadow GX in the equation is actually irrelevant. I recently played another game with the same deck and was using Jolteon-EX against a Passimian deck, and after using Flash Ray, the opponent wouldn't even try to attack, so I couldn't tell whether the protection effect would have worked as expected or not. This "known issue" entry suggests that it wouldn't have.
