----------------------------------------------------------------------
== THETA STOP (Mega Sceptile - XY: Ancient Origins)
Q. If Sceptile-EX has its Spirit Link tool attached, but Banette's "Tool Concealment" Ability is in play, what happens if you evolve to Mega Sceptile-EX with the "Theta Stop" Ancient Trait?
