Ruling Rules Wonder Energy (Fairy)

[mistermagic91]

Good Day everyone,

I got a question belonging to the Special Energy "Wonder Energy".

The ruling on the card says: "This card can only be attached to fairy Pokémon. This cards provides Fairy Energy only while this card is attached to a Fairy Pokémon.
Prevent all effects of your opponent's attack, except damage, done to the Fairy Pokémon this card is attached to. (Existing effects are not removed.)"

So go on to the effect they are talking about. I am always thinking it is everything, which is printed under the attack, which doesn't belong to the damage. So let's say for example, the attack from Regice: Resistance Blizzard.

As an effect of the attack the opponent can't use Pokémon-EX to attack, because they won't to damage to Regice. But what if you have a Guardevoir-EX with the Wonder Energy attached to it. What happen then? Does the attack of Guardevoir can hit Regice, because the Wonder Energy will prevent all effects of opponent's attacks?

Thanks for helping.

Resistance Blizzard puts an effect on Regice AOR, not the Pokemom being attacked. This doesn't interact with Womder Energy because it does not place any effect on the Pokemon being attacked. A Pokemon-EX that was hit by Resistance Blizzard can still attack -- it just won't do any damage to or have any other effect on Regice.

Wonder energy simply prevents effects of attacks other than damage from happening to th Pokemon it's attached to. We can use Regice's first attack Ice Beam as an example. Even if the opponent flipped heads, Wonder Energy would prevent your Pokemon from becoming Paralyzed.

Thank you very much for your respond.

I was just asking, because I thought the text below the attack always belong to the attack and also have an effect on the opponent himself or herself and this is why it doesn't work on trainers with Pokémons with Wonder Energy.

But what would happen, when the trainer uses Lysandre? The effect just belongs to Regice right? So I can attack with my Pokémon-EX anyway, when I use Lysandre, right?

Your Pokémon-EX will always be able to attack, though. Think of it as Resistance Blizzard putting a bubble coat on Regice instead of your Pokémon. If your attack deals benched damage or does any other effect to your Pokémon or your opponent, that does go through. Just stuff that direcly afect Regice will be blocked.

Now, that said, All effects are removed when a Pokémon is moved to the bench. If you get your opponent's Regice into the bench you can already hit him; or even get him back into the active position (like a Pokémon Catcher, for example) you can already hit him if he's active because the "bubble coat" was popped by the time he hit the bench.
