A question came up regarding Crobat PLS + Virbank City Gym and whether Poison damage counters are "set" at 4 counters or will be affected by the Stadium, so I'd like to check whether I've got the underlying mechanic right:
Are the "4 damage counters instead of 1" considered sort of "modified base damage counters" (sorry for lacking a better term) that will be increased by the Stadium kicking in after "base Poison damage counters" - roughly similar to modified base damage ("If [condition], this attack does 40 instead of 10 damage") being altered by e.g. PlusPower (minus any Damage-specific mechanics, due to Poison counters still being an effect)?
And since "set [seomething] to 0" (like Retreat cost) has been brought up in that context, that's a seperate "special case" mechanic that can't be applied to "set [something] to [any other number]", right?
As always, thank you for clarifying :smile:
