This might be a question with a super obvious answer, but I couldn't find anything on it in the Rule Book or the Knock Outs and Prizes section of the compendium and a cursory search turned up nothing.
Lunatone (OBF 092)'s New Moon ability states 'If you have Solrock in play, prevent all effects of any Stadium done to your Pokemon in play'. My opponent has both Solrock and Lunatone on their bench, and I use a spread attack to KO them both while Lost City is in play. Ideally I would want to KO Solrock first, sending Lunatone to the Lost Zone - but on both PTCGL and PTCGO multiple knock outs from a single attack will always occur from the leftmost Pokemon to the rightmost starting with the active, meaning that if Lunatone was the leftmost Pokemon Solrock be knocked out last and Lunatone would be discarded normally.
That seems like a quirk of the online games that was never addressed because there wasn't really ever a reason to before this, but I thought I would check before writing it off as a bug. Is this intended, or can I choose which Pokemon is KO'd first?
