Totally off the wall question that i happened to think about but dont know the answer to. If i was playing Mew EX which can copy the attacks of any pokemon in play (IF you have the correct energy on Mew EX for the copied attack) and just so happened to have a Zoroark Break on my bench (which can copy the attacks of my opponents active for only a single dark energy), does this mean that Mew EX could then copy my opponents attack for only a single dark energy?
 
Yes, but you can only copy the attacks of the opponent's active Pokémon for one dark energy. As with any attack you copy using versatile, you would read the text on that attack as if it were printed on your Mew. Foul Play would not allow you to copy any benched Pokémon's attacks.

The game logic is Mew uses ability Versatile, which copies Zoroark Break's Foul Play, which copies any attack on the opponent's active Pokémon.
 
So to clarify what TheGuardian18 has said; yes, you can copy your benched Zoroark BREAK's Foul Play attack to then copy one of your opponent's active Pokémon's attack for one darkness (or rainbow) energy.

However; you can only use ONE GX attack per game. Whether you copied it or used your own GX attack. You cannot use multiple GX attacks in any one game with any Pokémon, regardless of copy or printed.

Yes,but it is different than Mews actual attack. It can do that. BUT it has to be the active pokemon not any other pokemon.
 
Hmm.... what if your opponents active is a Mew EX and you used foul play could you copy any move due to Versatile or just replace?
 
If Mew-EX has a Dark Energy attached to it, it can copy Zoroark BREAK's Foul Play, which would then allow it to one of the oppnent's Actove Pokemon's attacks regardless of Energy costs.

If Foul Play is used while your opponent has a Mew-EX active, the only attack you can copy is Replace. Versatile allows Mew-EX to use other Pokemon's attacks as if they were printed on Mew-EX (hence why the Energy cost is reduced when Dimension Valley is in play), but those attacks still "belong" to the original Pokémon and Mew-EX is "borrowing" them.
