Ruling Deoxys EX ability

[kaitokamishiro]

Does deoxys EX ability apply to another Deoxys EX? since it stated, exclude Deoxys EX...
so, does the ability apply to the other Deoxys EX?

No Deoxys EX gets the boost. I will be updating our FAQ today which will include this question, and the Exeggute one for sure. If I think of more questions I'll add more.~KA

It's because it doesn't say "excluding this Pokémon"; it says "excluding Deoxys-EX". Therefore, no Plasma Pokemon that is named "Deoxys-EX" will get the boost.
