Awhile ago, this question was asked in this forum:

If I have a pokemon that uses drilbur's Hone Claws:

[C] Hone Claws: During your next turn, this Pokemon’s attacks have their damage increased by 30.

Lets say it's a mew prime that is attacking with hone claws via the lost zone. Next turn if the same pokemon uses an attack that damages multiple pokemon, lets say Kyruem's Glaciate, the attack would do +30 damage to all of the pokemon that are damaged by the attack, correct? Im pretty sure I know the ruling, but I'd just like to make sure.

Yes, that would work.

However, isn't this a violation of the Meta-Ruling below?

Thanks as always for the invaluable service you guys do the TCG community.
