The answer confuses me. According to the Compendium (link below), you can't play Max Potion on a pokémon with no damage, even if you discard energy, because (IIRC) discarding energy is a cost, not an effect. Wouldn't the described situation still count as playing Max Potion for no effect? If no, what's the effect you get from playing Max Potion (or if none, why is this an exception)?
