I've got a question regarding Stormfront Machamp's "Take Out" attack which reads "For one Fighting Energy, damage is 40, If the defending Pokemon isn't an evolved Pokemon, that Pokemon is knocked out instead of damaged by this attack". My understanding is that if it is evolved the attack does 40. If it isn't evolved and is equipped with Unown-G, does it do 40, is it knocked out or does it do nothing?

Q. If I have an unevolved Active Pokemon with Unown-G attached to it, and my opponent uses Machamp's "Take Out" attack, would it do nothing at all, or would it do 40 Damage?
A. It would do nothing. Since it is an unevolved Pokemon, the Knock Out effect replaces the 40 damage and that effect is blocked. (Nov 6, 2008 PUI Rules Team)
