Q. If you put Absol on your Bench or as your Active Pokémon during the set-up for the game, does Absol's "Raid" attack do 40 damage or 10 damage?
A. It does 10. If you place Absol during the set-up for the game, you are not playing Absol from your hand during your turn. (DP:Secret Wonders FAQ; Nov 15, 2007 PUI Rules Team)
