A game-breaking glitch has been uncovered in Pokemon TCG Live, favoring Lost Box decks and rendering Jirachi, a crucial counter, ineffective. The glitch revolves around the Lost Mine attack of Sabeleye, a prominent feature of Lost Box decks, and its interaction with Jirachi’s Stellar Veil effect.

Glitch Details:

1. Lost Mine Attack: Sabeleye’s Lost Mine attack attaches damage counters evenly on the enemy bench Pokemon in a Lost Box deck strategy.
2. Stellar Veil Effect: Jirachi’s Stellar Veil effect is designed to prevent damage counters from being placed, essentially canceling the damage.
3. Turn Skip: However, due to the glitch, the Stellar Veil effect causes a turn skip during the opponent’s turn. This occurs when the Lost Mine attack triggers Jirachi’s effect, creating a ‘skip a go’ situation for the Jirachi side.
4. Desynchronization Impact: The glitch is exacerbated when the opponent has three or more benched Pokemon, leading to a desynchronization issue. Desynchronization occurs when the information on both players’ computers is not the same, causing the affected player to run out of time and miss their turn.

Competitive Impact:

1. Lost Box Dominance: With Jirachi ineffective against Lost Box decks due to the glitch, Lost Zone decks gain a significant advantage in the Pokemon TCG Live ladder.
2. Top Tier Status: The glitch has elevated Lost Box decks to top-tier status again, making them more potent and challenging to counter in the competitive scene.

New HUGE TCG Live bug revealed!

TL;DR: Don’t play Jirachi anymore. Its canceling animation on your Pokémon will occur during your own turn, timing you out, therefore skipping your turn.
