Ruling Regice (AOR) and Escape Rope

[Megalobster]

Hi,

Here's the scenario: I have a pokémon-EX in my active slot and my opponent has a Regice in active slot, which he/she attacked with last turn using Resistance Blizzard. It cannot be damaged by my pokémon-EX as the cause of the attacks effect. So I play an Escape Rope, forcing the Regice out of the active slot and trading place with opponents benched pokémon. Then I retreat my new active pokémon and send out my previously active pokémon-EX (which was attacked by the Regice). Then I play Lysandre on the Regice and bring it back out.

If I attack the Regice now, will I still not be able to do damage to it with my pokémon-EX ?

You can deal damage with an EX Pokemon in that scenario.

Benching resets all effects on the Pokemon.

And as an added point of clarity: Resistance Blizzard places an effect on Regice, so you'd just need to get it to the bench and back to be able to damage it even if your own Pokemon-EX stays active the entire time. Benching the Regice removes the effect as soon as it hits the bench.
