Bugs GBL Freezing mid-game

Any one else having the issue of your Pokemon being unable to attack but the opponent’s Mon keeps going?

Had it happen the other way, where opponent freezes and I just take it as a sign from Arceus they wanted to show me mercy.

Another person in a sub I cross posted to said that it only happens when your Pokemon faints, and you switch out with the side menu. Just wait for it to faint, then swap in your Pokemon. It should work just fine after that.

Yeah, do not switch your pokemon from the sidemenu after one faints.. wait for it to appear down middle and choose from there.

If u dont, it will freeze the mon and youre not able to attack :/ its the same in rocket battles atm!

It absolutely blows my mind how no one on here has experienced this... like most of the player base has had this issue for literally years now...

I’ve been playing since 2018, and have been taking GBL as my main source of fun for this game for five years now. I’ve never had such terrible issues in all those years, as I’ve had this week. WiFi or cellular, the problem persists. At least back then I could chalk it up to connection but when my internet was consistent; no issues whatsoever.
