Ruling Switch and Gust of wind

why, it's not retreating, it's switching. You only need to pay the retreat cost if you're retreating
get a rulebook :D

switch: by effects of trainers or attacks, no retreat cost needed
retreat: pay the retreat cost to bench your pokémon, only once per turn

switch is not retreat
 
What about Gust of wind?When i switch the defending pokemon.Must the defending pokemon discard energys?
 
"Switch" and "retreat" are different.

(On a side note.. cute-mew, while it's true that people should have rulebooks, keep in mind that they only come with decks. And what decks are actually worth buying? Fire red, the LMs to some extent... and that's it.)
