Ruling Unown G - "ALL" Effects ???
- Thread starter Hypno68
- Start date
Unown G prevents anything (besides damage) from an opponent's attack that directly affects that Pokemon.
So Special Conditions are blocked.
Bring Down is blocked. It does not do damage, but creates an effect that KOs the Defending Pokemon.
Things that do not directly affect that Pokemon are not blocked. So things like Gallade's prize flipping are not prevented.

What about Gengars attackas verse a unown G attachment?
Gengar LV.43 – Psychic – HP110
Stage 2 – Evolves from Haunter
Poke-Power: Fainting Spell
Once during your opponents turn, if Gengar would be knocked out by Damage from an attack, you may flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokemon is knocked out. (erratta- the attacking pokemon)
[P] Shadow Room: Place 3 damage counters on 1 of your opponent’s Pokemon. If that Pokemon has a Poke-Power, place an 6 damage counters on that pokemon instead.
[P][C] Poltergeist: Look at your opponent’s hand. This attack does 30 damage times the number of Trainer, Supporter, and Stadium cards in your opponent's hand.
To me it seems that Shadow Room would be stopped from doing anything. That Poltergiest would do damage becasue the effect of the attack isn't to the pokemon but to the opponents hand. And the Poke-Power could possibly fall under the Unown G protection because it is a result of an attack.
What does everyone think?
^No, the Poke-Power is by no means an effect of an attack. Unown G only blocks all textual additions to an attack that can not be expressed in simple damage numbers. If an effect of an attack deals additional damage, for instance if you have a tool attached (Pachi) then that effect goes through.
Note that when you say "all" effects, you're actually wrong in another sense. Unown G was issued an errata that the Pokemon with Unown G is affected by its allie's attacks. For example, if I use an attack that makes myself asleep (Wailord), Unown G will not prevent that effect, because it was my move.

Unown G doesn't prevent damage, only conditions.

yes. it can.
No, nothing other than KOing the Pokemon Unown G is attached to can get rid of it. Pachirisus attack is an effect, thus it is blocked by Unown G, the same applies to Electivire LvX. You can however use your own attacks to discard Unown G. An example would be Mismagius SF.
