Ruling Raichu

If raichu MD is my active and i knock out a pokemon with Agility and get heads,do the effects of agility apply to my opponents new active pokemon?another thing if i do agility with raichu and get heads and my opponent retreats during his next turn are the effects of agility still active?thx for your time

yes.. it says that all effects done to raichu... so it does..

There are usually two different types of effects like this. The first one is in the case of Raichu, the effect is on Raichu himself. So if you were to KO something, or they retreat their Pokemon the effect remains on Raichu. The other is something like Sand Attack, where the effect is on the Defending Pokemon. If the Defending retreats, switches, gets KOed, or evolves then the effect goes away.

Another example of this is the Mothim from Secret Wonders. Its attack Silver Wind says that all attacks deal 40 more damage to the DEFENDING Pokemon. So as long as the same Pokemon that your opponet had out last turn is still in the active posistion, you deal the extra 40 damage. Also, Mothim doesnt have to me the one to deal this damage either, it could be any of your Pokemon because the effect is on the Defending Pokemon, not Mothim.

Hope it clears up any confusion.

Kronar says yes.. Cacgbass says no. Which one is it?

Kronar is right.

Agility's effect is on Raichu. It applies even if your opponent brings up a new Pokemon.

Hahahah sorry. i thought you were asking if the effect went away by benching the defending. i have to read more carefully.
