Q. Say Ampharos with the "Damage Bind" Poke-BODY is in play on the opponent's side and a stadium such "Galactic HQ" or "Miasma Valley" is in play. If I evolve a Pokemon with a Poke-POWER or put a Basic Pokemon with a Poke-POWER from my hand onto the bench, would I be able to use that Poke-POWER before the damage counters from the stadium are placed?
A. No, you could not. Before declaring the Poke-POWER, the damage counters from the stadium are placed. The Pokemon then becomes affected by Ampharos' "Damage Bind" Poke-BODY and therefore cannot use its Poke-POWER. (Apr 9, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
