Ruling Jirachi EX

[Chubby_Gengar]

Hi, i have one question about Jirachi EX
if my opponent have pokemon ex or stage 2 evolution and i play Jirachi EX i pay colorless less for Jirachi attack, so if i play 2 Jirachi EX and my opponent have ex or stage 2 evolution, can my jirachi poke-body cumulative? so i use super psy bolt only using one psychic?
Thx

I don't believe so, because his power is self-referencing. If it cumulated, it'd say "each of your Jirachi ex pays" or something like that. Either way, his power has his name in it, so it should read "...in play, this Pokemon pays * less Energy to use..."

That's how I read it anyways.

A_A hit it right on the dot. Jirachi-ex's attack is self-referencing; parallel to the reason why if you have a delta Rayquaza, and your opponent has a delta Rayquaza, why you can't use Lightning storm to do 70 damage and then choose to place the damage counters on the opponent's delta Rayquaza; when the attack says, "Put 7 damage counters on delta Rayquaza," to the card that uses the attack.

I think that all poke-bodys only affect the card which it is printed on, unless stated otherwise.
