Hello everybody,
(hi Dr. Nick) <-- for those who don't watch simpsons... I'm sorry you won't get this.
I was playing Pokemon yesterday and this is what happened. I was using Scizor I attacked with the 1st attack (Accelerate) and KOed the defending pokemon. My oponent had on his bench Honchkrow lv. X with and 4 (D) Energies attached. He also had a Darkrai Lv. X on his bench. He makes the Honchkrow lv. X his active pokemon. He then attacks my Scizor with Faint attack which does 80 damage (40 for the attack and 10 x 4 energies since the Darkrai's poke-power).
wow... that was long.
I argued that since Accelerate was used 1st the effect of that damage shouldn't be able to happen since the effects of (Faint Attack) would have been prevented.
My opponent says that the damage doesn't get affected by Accelerate since Faint attack's effect modifies the damage before it's applied.
What should have been the result of the attack?
