Hello!

I have a question.

When a Poké-pwoer says "once during your turn" does that mean you can only use that poké-power once a turn?

Then to the more important, if i have two pokémon with the same poké-power, can i still only use the poké-power once a turn?

or can i use it twice with different pokemon??

I hope you understand what i meant XD

THANKS!
 
Instead of looking at the text "Once during your turn" you should look at the text AFTER that.

For example: Uxie from Legends Awakened says, "Once during your turn, WHEN YOU PUT UXIE FROM YOUR HAND ONTO YOUR BENCH" means that you can only use that Uxie's pokepower for that one turn only, right when you play it from your hand. You do not get to continue to use the power every turn.

Another example: For Great Encounters Claydol, 'Cosmic Power' simple states, "Once during your turn, blah blah...". There are no restrictions on the Claydol other than ONCE during your turn. So that means you can use this power once, every turn. Also since it does not restrict you from doing so, if you have more than one claydol, you can do more than once 'Cosmic Power'. If you have 1 Claydol, you can do 1 Cosmic Power per turn. If you have 2 then you can do 2. And so on and so forth.

However, there is an exception to this rule. Some Pokepowers say that you can only use this specific power once during your turn.
Example: If you look at Spiritomb Legends Awakened 'Curse Breath' Power, it states that you can only use 1 Curse Breath Pokepower per turn AND only when you play it from your hand onto your bench. That means if you already played 1 Spiritomb and used the Curse Breath Pokepower, then you cannot use a second Curse Breath Pokepower, EVEN if you play another Spiritomb.
 
Follow UP:
Do we get to use magnezone sf's magnetice search twice in a row,if i level it up the same turn?
 
Also, when a pokemon is removed from the field (SSU, Turn, etc.) the once per turn no longer is on that pokemon, meaning you can use a Crobat G's flash bite, Poketurn it, and use flash bite again.

Same with Claydol. There was a lot of confusion in my area, so let me clear this up:

We all know that you can SSU or PokeTurn Crobat and use Flash Bite, because it says "when you play it from your hand"

you can also do this with Claydol, you can Cosmic, Super Scoop Up, Broken Time-Space to get Claydol back again, and use Cosmic a 2nd time, even though it does not specifically say "when you play this from your hand to evolve a Pokémon"
 
But Claydol's power, if I am not mistaken, does not say you can use this power once per turn. Meaning, if you have 2, you can use both their power, right, as it is referring to that specific Claydol. Its the same for RR beedrill. If you have 2 benched, you can use 2. Simple as that. So its the same for Claydol. But Sunflora from SW has a power for instance that says:
You may only use this power once per turn. That is referring to that specific power, meaning you can only use it once.
