Pokémon Trading Card Game Live to go offline for 8 hours of maintenance starting 4:00pm UTC on December 5th, ahead of update to Version 1.9.2

Next week on December 5th, the Pokémon Trading Card Game Live will be receiving an update to Version 1.9.2. This update will resolve a small number of issues that had been impacting on several cards, most notably problems in the application of Toedscruel's Slime Mold Colony Ability, and the longstanding bug where Zoroark's Phantom Transformation ability will show the player multiple card selection screens. This update will be preceded by an 8 hour long maintenance window, scheduled to start at 8:00am (PST) / 4:00pm (UTC) on December 5th.

The full Patch Notes for 1.9.2, as posted by the developers on the official Pokémon Community Forums, can be found below. Links to information on the cards directly mentioned in the notes have been added for your convenience.

Cards

• Toedscruel (PAR #017): Fixed an issue where the Slime Mold Colony Ability did not prevent the opponent from putting Item cards into their hand when using PokéStop (PGO #068).
• Future Booster Energy Capsule (PAR #164): Fixed an issue where the damage boost was incorrectly applied to Benched Pokémon.
• Exp. Share (SVI #174): Updated the Energy- attachment steps when the card effect is triggered.
• Zoroark (EVS #103): Fixed an issue during the Phantom Transformation Ability where the effect asks for an extra selection to swap cards.

Gameplay/Battle

• Fixed an issue in matches where the game became unresponsive when players received a mulligan on a device set to certain non-English languages.
• Fixed an issue in matches where the fizzle animation did not play when the effect of Big Parasol (DAA #157) blocked the player's attempt to switch an opponent's Benched Pokémon into the Active Spot.
• Fixed an issue where certain card effects that can be used only during the first turn did not function correctly during the first turn of Sudden Death mode.
• Fixed an issue where cards occasionally appeared invisible and could not be selected as part of certain card-selection effects.

General

• Various other fixes and polish.

Matchmaking

• Fixed a matchmaking issue where the game became unresponsive due to multiple users matching with the same opponent.
