I would recommend you go to the Ask a Professor Forum and ask this question about Archie and Claydol AOR (one of the most similar Espeon-EX). You'll be able to get a certified answer that way. :3So how would it work if I Archies / Maxie'd a card stright to the bench without evolving it? Would it go back to my hand? If that was my last pokemon, would that be auto-lose?
