Team Galactic's Invention - Power Spray
You may play this card during your opponent's turn when your opponent's Pokemon uses any Poke-Power. Prevent all effects of that Poke-Power. (This counts as using that Power) If you have 2 or less Pokemon SP in play, you can't play this card.
Now my take on Powers Spray is this; It's a Trainer that has the option to be played on your opponents turn.
Why do I think that? It's still a Trainer and the way it's written, it strikes to me that it can be played during any one's turn.
I don't know if there is a limitation on the time a Trainer can be played as the only thing that is stuck in my head about playing Trainers is that you can play as many as you like during your turn.
Therefor, if my assumption is correct, you could use it for Powers such as Power Cancel, Ectoplasm and others that are during your turn.
These are all the reasons I have to make me not get the ruling currently given about it only be playable during your opponents turn.
I know that many people think you only have 2 options with it:
1. Use it during your opponents turn and stop a Power.
2. Opt not to use it during your opponents turn and not stop a Power.
The way I see it, it gives you a third option: 3. Play it during your turn when your opponent uses Ectoplasm or Power Cancel.
