Ruling Kecleon RR + Cherrim SF

Kecleon RR + Cherrim SF

Does Kecleon count twice, as {R} & as {G}, or once? I.e. +10 or +20?

I'm more inclined to think +10, but I want to be sure.

Well, Kecleon is still only one pokemon.It fills the requirements twice, but is still just one pokemon.

This isn't gospel truth until we receive an official ruling conforming or denying this, but I'm going to say that it only recieves a plus 10 because even though its both types its still only 1 pokemon ( sorry i can't think of a better way to validate my point at the moment if anything comes up to clarify i shall post back)

Cherrim says: "Each of your [G] Pokemon's and [R] Pokemon's attacks..."

Think of it this way in terms of Grammar.
Kecleon can't be a Grass and Fire Pokemons. And yes, Pokemons is how I meant to spell it.
Because it says "Each" in it's PokeBody, any individual Cherrim can only add as much as 10 damage to any Pokemon's attack.

kecleon's card disagrees. It specifically says Kecleon is all types at once. I still don't think it would activate this body twice.

Since the powers contradict with one another, both could easily be argued correct. We just need to wait for the official ruling.

I'm pretty sure we don't need a ruling on a matter like this. Quoting Taylor here, hoping he got the true scan 'cause I'm too lazy to look it up:

Cherrim says: "Each of your [G] Pokemon's and [R] Pokemon's attacks..."

He may be 2 Types, this Kecleon, he may even be >9000 types, it'll be quite hard to argue that he's more than one Poke. Cherrim only works once for each Poke is what I understand from its Body, and therefore one Cherrim only ever adds 10 damage.

Yeah he is, but the grammar from Cherrim's card in contrast to Kecleon is my evidence.

There might be an errata on Kecleon. "Kecleon's type is (list of types) but only one at a time" or something along those lines. This does need to be brought up soon however.

dmaster out.

I doubt there will be an errata for Kecleon. It hits weakness AND resistance. There is a downside to it being every type at once.

The ruling will PROBABLY be that since Kecleon is only one pokemon, Cherrim's body can only apply once to Kecleon(Per Cherrim).

Sunyshore City Gym solves the Resistance part very easily.

I doubt there actually needs to be a ruling. Regardless of the fact Kecleon has of both types (and more), the "Each" part of Cherrim's body makes it just once anyway.
