I put together a Scizor/Cherrim deck from a list I found on the web (I may have found that list right here at the PokeGym).
The list includes two Technical Machine TS-2 cards.
Last weekend while playing with my grandson we were trying to figure out how to use that card.
At first we treated it as a trainer and that worked great because it allowed me to devolve my grandson's active Pokemon and then on the same turn to attack it and knock it out.
But then we noticed the fine print (when all else fails, read the text on the card, duh!) that specifies that the card doesn't work like a trainer at all , but instead works like a tool card and adds an attack to one of your Pokemon in play. So we were using the card incorrectly, weren't we? Dang! It was fun while it lasted, though.
So, if I have a Technical Machine TS-2 attached to my active Pokemon, and use its attack to devolve one of my opponent's Evolved Pokemon, on his/her next turn s/he can just evolve that Pokemon back up again on his/her next turn, right?
And my opponent can evolve as many Pokemon per turn as s/he chooses, can't s/he?
I can see a possible use for this card. If my opponent's Active Pokemon is a Stage 1 and I'm afraid s/he will evolve it to a Stage 2, I can devolve it back to a Basic and that would give me time to evolve my active Pokemon and/or add energy to my Active Pokemon.
Is that the way to use this card?
