Ruling Electrode SF vs. Yanmega LA

[Saanaito]

Situation: you have Electrode SF active, your opponent has Yanmega LA. The opponent uses Sonic Wave, attacking Electrode and forcing you to switch. On your turn, you retreat to send up the Electrode that was attacked last turn. Does Low Current paralyze, or is the effect removed because of being sent to the bench?

Using Low Current would still paralyze them even though you went to the bench.

It works the same way as Poliwrath LA. It is not an effect, it is a check to see if it was damaged. So even if Trode was on your Bench and was damaged you would still paralyze them if you bring it active and use Low Current.

 

[Take-it-easy]

Electrode still gets to paralyze the defending pokemon because he WAS damaged by an attack last turn, regardless of being on the bench or not

 

[Wiseman.]

Easy explanation: Since it was damaged last turn as the text indicates...it will work.
