Ruling Unown G

[Amt]

Is there any card in the format that can discard it while it's attached to another Pokemon via GUARD?

Without KOing the Pokemon? No.

Unown G prevents effects of attacks, so you need to use powers/trainers to get rid of it...

But there's no card in this format that does so...

Where's Windstorm when you need it?

Fortunately, not here. Iunno about you but I'm not fancying complete Dusknoir/Gengar domination.

Electrivire Lv.X can remove Unown G from your opponents Pokemon effectively. Since the effect isn't Pokemon specific you can use it, and gain a small immortality boost.

And Lou, if we had Windstorm, Machamp will dominate the whole format. It would be sickening.

The same question was asked about Mismagius. It also doesn't target the Pokemon itself, but can't discard Unown G regardless.

No it can't. Discarding the Unown G is an effect on the Pokemon it's attached to.

Way to use the sticky...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'll probably heckle you more about it later too.

3. Does Unown G over-rule effects of attacks discarding it? If my opponent's Electivire LV. X MT or Mismagius SF attacks and tries to discard Unown G, does Unown G stop that?
A: Yes, it does. Although for Mismagius it is doing damage, the effect is letting it do the damage, which Unown G over-rules. However, if you have 5 Pokemon Tools in play for example, and your opponent does, for some reason, choose to target the Pokemon with Unown G on it it still counts as one of their 4 targets. It just doesn't discard or add damage.

Ok, we're done here .

EDIT: Oh, wait a minute. I can't lock threads.

DOX: Nope. It is an effect. Which is prevented. Thanks!

 

[hukedonanime]

A little added note about Electivire Lv X: Since unown G isn't discarded via Pulse Barrier, Electivire Lv X doesn't receive the "prevent all effects including damage" bonus.

Wait, so you can't discard unown g without killing, darn.

Meh, I'm kind of skeptical about it even after that guy asked. But who am I to challange the officials. Still, consider this, how many people will have easy access to this card, or multiples of it? ;D

I don't know if anyone would have multiples of the card, but the poster asked if there was any card able to discard it in the format.
