Ruling Shady Move

[green_monkey]

Shady Move - Once during your turn (before your attack), if Typhlosion is your Active Pokemon, you may move 1 damage counter from either player's Pokemon to another Pokemon (yours or your opponent's). This power can't be used if Typhlosion is affected by a Special Condition.


Does this mean if a single Typhlosion is my active Pokémon I can use the powers of my benched Typhlosion too ? Or is it just my active ?I'm asking this because I have like 8 lying around hoping to be a deck ! and it looks like it would be fun to play.

^no, when a card says that, it's only referencing it to itself

You can't put more than 4 in a deck anyway.

On the other hand, if you retreat and/or use Switch, you can use Shady Move from another Typhlosion to move another damage counter.
