Ruling jirachi rr

[ThirdEye]

I'm an idiot but please answer this anyway. Jirachi RR and the Detour attack. So basically, if I use a collector... detour lets me use another collector? I can't use my opponents or search for a supporter or anything like that correct? If this is true, and I use collector, I cant place the cards on my bench that turn right?

Yes, if and only if, you played a supporter during your turn and you use Detour, you will do whatever the effect of that supporter was. So if you played Collector during your turn, then you would basically be using collector again for the effect of that attack.
Detour only has an effect if you played a supporter during your turn.
Detour only copies THAT supporter.

No. The effect of Collector states that you add the pokemon to your HAND. Because detour is your attack, your turn is officially over after you finish the effect of that supporter.

You assume correctly. When you use Detour, you copy the effect of the Supporter you just played this turn - in that case, Pokemon Collector. The effect of Detour becomes "Search your deck for up to 3 Basic Pokemon, show them to your opponent, and add them to your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward."

Since you just attacked your turn is over. The Basic Pokemon searched via Detour can't be played this turn.
