"Once per turn" Poke-Powers

[readmyusername]

When you scoop up Crobat G and set him back down you can use flash bite again sooo.... Does this mean any Poke-Power that says "once per turn" can be reused if you are able to scoop it up and set it back down? Not just the ones that says "when you set it down on your beach" like Kingdra Prime (and you would have Broken-Time Space so you could evolve him back into Kingdra Prime)

Apparently, "once per turn" only applies to the pokemon while it's in play. When you take it back to your hand, it is not any longer in play, so there is no restriction over the card and you can play the power again if you play the pokemon again.

From the Compendium:

ANY Pokemon attack or Power that can only be used once per turn, is reset if that Pokemon evolves or devolves or leaves play and that power or attack could be used again if that Pokemon came into play again that same turn. The "can't use this attack next turn" sets up a status effect that can be ended through the normal means: benching, leaving play, evolving or devolving. With Pokemon Powers though, you can't get around the once per turn by benching. Benching a Pokemon does NOT get around these effects as they are still the same Pokemon and still in play. [Ed.Note: This does not apply to Tentacool Lv.10 (Fossil) which specifically states in the text of the power that it cannot be used on the same turn it comes into play.]

Could not find that in search thank you

From the Compendium:

Ah, thank you. I searched and could not find that. Does that also apply to leveling up a Pokemon?

 

[sdrawkcab]

Yes it would....Keep in mind, this doesn't not apply to pokemon whose power states "You can only use one "name" poke-power per turn"

Once a Pokemon leaves play, "the game" forgets that it was in play, so that once it comes into play again, the Power may be used again since "the game" sees it as a new card.
