Q. I was wondering if you can exactly define the differences between a Poke-BODY and a Poke-POWER, i have heard a few different things going around.
A. Those are just clarifications for the players benefit. They are both Pokemon Powers (menaing Muk would shut them both off). A Poke-BODY only affects the Pokemon that has it and is continuous. A Poke-POWER is an activated Pokemon Power that could have all sorts of effects. Poke-BODYs are not shut off when the Pokemon has a Special Condition on it as well. (Sep 5, 2002 WotC Chat, Q165)
