Ninetales EX vs. Wobbuffet

[WeileMom]

Hi, I couldn't find the answer in the Compendium, so...

Wobbuffet and Ninetales EX are active. I try to use Intense Glare (switch 1 your opponent's Benched Pokemon with 1 of the Defending Pokemon... The new Defending Pokemon is now burned and confused.) on Wobbuffet. Does Wobbuffet's Safeguard Poke-Body prevent the switch? I'm not sure if you would say the switch is an effect done to Wobbuffet.
Thanks!

Q. Wobbuffet vs. Ninetales-EX... I try to use "Intense Glare" (switch 1 your opponent's Benched Pokemon with 1 of the Defending Pokemon...) on Wobbuffet. Does Wobbuffet's Safeguard Poke-Body prevent the switch?
A. Yes it would prevent the switch. In addition, you could not do Intense Glare to bring up a Wobbuffet from the bench either, as that would be an "effect being done to Wobbuffet by a Pokemon-EX." (Feb 24, 2005 PUI Rules Team)
