Downer Material and Legends

[Tomanator33]

If I have Uxie Azelf and Mesprit with downer material in play and my opponent has a Legend card in play do they have to play more for there attacks. Also if they do not have to pay the extra energy coast the ruling only says we can only pay basic pokemon onto the bench so should that not also change if legends are not basics when they come into play???

Legend Pokemon do not have to pay extra for their attacks due to Downer Material.


There is no need to change the rules about playing Basics to the bench.
The text on the Legend cards over ride the normal game rules to allow you to play them.
Note that you can't play them during set up because they are not Basics.
