Author Topic: Aqua Octillery SlimeyGrimey Member Member # 92882 posted January 11, 2003 04:38 PM            Say I have an Octillery active and my opponent has Magcargo (3 retreat) with 1 energy on it, can Magcargo retreat discarding all energy attached to it, or must it be able to pay at least its regular retreat before it is allowed to? -------------------- Grimers will eventually clog the path to my brain and take over my body.

Then whatever energy cards that are left when it was benched it gets discarded by Octilley's pokemon power. -------------------- r.g.lalic From: Manila, Philippines | Registered: Nov 2002  |  IP: Logged Silvercharizard7 Member Member # 121953 posted January 14, 2003 01:04 PM            I'm guessing that magcargo's energies would be discarded (all of them) my reason to believe this is: octiller is when they switch magcargo's power (once its benched) attaches an energy to the new active since it's energies are all discarded BEFORE benched (in the middle of it here =/) and magcargo's power happens afterwards. So i guess this means im right Although someone could prove me wrong as im not 100% sure.....it could be that octillery's power happens AFTER and not BEFORE so then magcargo's replacement gets the energy if that is the case.... -------------------- You are unique....

AQ Octillery as Active. AQ Victreebel on bench. Fragrance Trap their Active to the bench, does Octillery remove their energies? -------------------- Prof. Aelflaed Co-Founder of: Team Dead Sneasel - York Comic & Cards, Parma, OH Another proud member of: Team PokéParents - We play Pokémon with our kids!

The use of a Poke power "switches" or "replaces" the pokemon. This is not the same as retreating. The same would apply if I used switch, double gust, ect. The energies would be discarded only when a normal retreat occurs,not by trainer, powers ect. -------------------- Gym Leader and TO for 4th St. Boutique, Moore,Ok. Teach the youth of today.
