I have a question.
If Gengar uses Shadow Room on a Pokémon card with a Pokémon Power (Neo Destiny and earlier), does it put 3 damage counters or 6 damage counters?
 
Poke is short for Pokemon. x_x Yes, Poke Power and Poke(mon) Power are the same thing. It would hit for 60 damage from Shadow Room.

dmaster out.
 
Pokemon Powers were a group that included Poke-Powers and Poke-Bodies. A Pokemon Power is considered both a Poke-Power and Poke-Body, so you would place 6 damage counters.
 
No, what I read is that when a Pokémon says "Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies", then it affects cards that say Pokémon Power, but if it just says "Poké-Power" or just says "Poké-Bodies", it doesn't affect them... I'm still a lil' bit confused about this...
 
poke-power =/= Pokemon power.

A pokemon that has a pokemon power is considered to have a poke-power AND a poke-body when it comes to effects that check for it. pokemon powers can't be stopped by effects that only specify poke-powers. or only stop poke-bodies, which is probably what you heard.
