Absol's http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/c/ca/AbsolGSupremeVictors1.jpg/180px-AbsolGSupremeVictors1.jpg attack, Doom News, states that "The Defending Pokémon is Knocked Out at the end of your opponent's next turn." If my opponent were to change active pokemon during his turn, would this mean that his new active pokemon i.e. defending pokemon would be the one Knocked Out at the end of his turn or would the one Knocked Out be the one that was in that position during absol's attack?

Also,if I were to only have this absol http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/e/eb/AbsolEXLegendMaker15.jpg/180px-AbsolEXLegendMaker15.jpg as well as the one in the previous scan in play, does this mean that both are protected from basic Pokemon's attacks due to that the Shinning Horn Poke-Body states "As long as Absol is the only Pokémon you have in play, your opponent's Basic Pokémon can't attack."?

Another thing would be, the Basic Pokemon would not be able to attack because of the Shinning Horn Poke-Body, but does this mean that Pokemon like Kangaskhan http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VG0ZfhovL.jpg won't be able to Call for Family?

Thanks for taking the time to answer this...
 
On your first question, the new defending Pokémon would not be KO'd.

Your second question I'm not sure about, but I believe it is only referring to the Shining Horn Absol.

For your third question, Kanaskhan wouldn't be able to use any attack, regardless of whether it does damage or not.
 
Ok, Thanks for taking the time to answer this :) these can sometimes be really confusing...
 
Any card before black and white 1 that says the pokémon's name is only referring to itself. So keeping that in mind, the meaning on absol poké body is "As long as *this pokémon* is the only Pokémon you have in play, your opponent's Basic Pokémon can't attack
