I have a question regarding the resolution of purple attacks.
When you spin a purple attack that beats your opponents, do you get to choose if the effect of that attack resolves?
For example, I spin Meowth's purple attack that tells me to swap places with the defending pokemon. Now... I'm using Meowth on defense, so I want to keep the area to my goal blocked. Do I have to resolve the purple attack or can I choose not to resolve it. In the rulebook, it said you had to move the pokemon the exact number of spaces or not move it at all. That gave me the idea that you don't have to resolve the attack if you don't want to. I was playing with my brother and made him resolve the attack, which put me in the position to win the game on the next turn... it seemed unfair, but that's how I initially interpreted the rules. Now I'm not sure. Please help.
