Hi there, two questions for you :
1- We have Gengar SF in play, which attacks a benched Lv X that has pokemon below that has poke-power ( Azelf Lv X and Azelf , concretely .. ) ; my wife's question is : the Lv X has a poke-body , but the pre-level up form has a poke-power , so can I actually do 60 with Shadow Room , or do I do 30 only ? She thinks that as a Leveled-Up pokemon has the right to use any poke powers from its previous level, then the poke-power is active and therefore Gengar should do 60 ... what's the deal ? ..
2- We have a Gardy X wanting to attack with Bring down my bench ; the pokemon with the lowest HP is a damaged Azelf X with 60 damage ( 30 HP remaining ) but protected with an Unown G ; then the next with the lowest would be a Duskull with 50 HP. Gardy's attack states "Choose 1 pokemon, yours or your opponent's, excluding Gardevoir, with the fewest remaining HP, and that pokemon is now knocked out" . So The one with the fewest remaining HP from anyone is Azelf indeed. Then the question is :
- The attack fails as the Pokemon with the fewest remaining HP is protected now with Unown G ? .. if so, Gardy can attack with other attack, or the attack fails completely and turn ends ?
- Does Gardy's attack have the "right" ( not written anywhere ) to then go ahead and "choose" the next pokemon with the lowest HP available ( in this case the 50 HP Duskull ) , or the next , or the next, until Gardy finds one that fits the attack's description and it's unprotected ?
Your help in both interesting situations is much appreciated, as always ......
