As the Title asks..... When Shrine of Memories is used, does the attack come from the "top" Pokemon or does it come from the Pokemon doing the attack itself?
If comes from the "top" Pokemon and that Pokemon is a Mega, then the attack is blocked by Giratina's Renegade Pulse ability.
But if the attack comes from the "tier" of Pokemon doing the attack, then the attack would be permitted (i.e. as a way for a Mega to cancel the Renegade Pulse ability by using a non-Mega attack)
Recall "AZ" (Supporter Trainer) had wording to the effect of picking up "your Pokemon" which meant all of the Basic and anything "above it" (Stage 1/2, Evolutions, Mega, etc). So I tend to agree that Shrine of Memories does actually still prevents Mega from using prior attacks via Shrine of Memories, but how would a judge rule on this at tournaments?
What's the official ruling on this?
