Ruling "Once per turn" question

[TCC Co-Founder]

If I play 2 Moltres on my bench on the same turn, may I use the powerpoke twice? I'm asking because it says: "Once per turn, when you play Moltres from your hand onto your bench."

EDIT: Rather than double-thread, here's another question. When attacking with Zapdos, do you not apply weak/rest only for the 40 damage, or only for the base 80 damage, or both?

the once per turn counts for that pokemon so if you had 2 moltres/claydol/articuno you could use that power once for each of them

The restrictions on Powers are per instance of that Power. So you can use it once for each Moltres.

The only time that changes is when a Power says "You can only use one [name] Poke-Power per turn." That's a global restriction -- only one use of a Power with that name, regardless of how many instances of it you have in play.

"Does 40 damage to 1 of your Pokemon, and don't apply Weakness or Resistance to this damage."
