Suppose that an active Bastiodon is damaged by an attack that sends it to the bench (Push Down or Rapid Spin, for example). If the Bastiodon is brought up next turn, will it do 60-40 or just 60 because benching takes away the effect of Bastiodon's attack? Same question with LA Armaldo: if it...

If you put a Memory Berry on a Stage 1 or Stage 2 card with a baby at the bottom of the evolution line, can the active card use the baby's attacks? For example, if you have Happiney-Chancey-Blissey with a Memory Berry on Blissey, can Blissey use Happiney's attacks?

Do attacks such as Mightyena Ex's Hyperclaws that do additional damage to "Stage 2 evolved Pokemon" do additional damage to Level X Pokemon as well?

I am perplexed by a seeming inconsistency in (at least) two rulings. It is now well established, it seems, that Salamence d can discard a rainbow, delta rainbow, dark metal, or double rainbow card to satisfy the requirement of discarding a metal energy card. But Starmie's Metal Navigation only...

Suppose that the active Pokemon has a Holon WP and a water energy, and the defending Pokemon tries to use Agility. Can the active Pokemon still attack, on the theory that preventing the active Pokemon from doing damage is an "effect" of the Agility attack other than damage and therefore fails?

Am I right that a Holon WP and a water energy prevents Shockwave (and Imprison) markers because they are effects of attacks other than damage?

If I use a Call for Family attack with a baby on the bench (Smoochum, for example) and get the basic Pokemon that evolves from the baby (Jynx, for example), can the second-stage basic be placed directly on the baby or must it go on the bench as a stand-alone basic Pokemon?

I know that there have been a number of LudiCargo threads -- and there will probably be many more -- but this is a somewhat different variant. I am not a player but am interested in the theory of Pokemon, and I would be grateful for the advice of experienced players. As I see it, the biggest...

I am a newcomer to Pokemon, so I would appreciate advice from experienced hands. I do not play competitively, but I am keenly interested in the theory of the game. (I am a professor -- the kind in a university.) My idea is to combine Crobat and Crobat Ex with Vileplume. Here is the tentative...
