Greetings players,
I started playing PTCG on day 1 of release back when I was a young boy. However, I fell out after the release of fossil as I was young and had no one to play with and no way to go to gyms or retailers. Fast forward many, many moons, my son is now very interested in Pokemon. I pulled out my old pokemon cards and we have been playing regularly. He loves it. Despite this, I have a question regarding paralysis. If on turn A my pokemon becomes paralyzed, per the rules he is supposed to recover on turn C. If my opponent uses a paralyzing attack on turn B, am I paralyzed until turn D now? Or does the attack have no effect (status wise)?
To clarify/Sum up:
Turn A: opponent paralyzes my pokemon during his turn.
Turn B: I am paralyzed, I cannot attack.
Turn C: opponent attacks (causing additional paralysis).
Turn D: Am I paralyzed?
when was paralysis (from turn A) removed? between turns B & C or at the start of Turn D?
