        It’s actually a Pokemon Power, those are two different things (which got errata’d to be treated similarily but they are still not the same).

            It’s essentially a Poke Body anyway as in a static/always-on Ability/Pokemon Power. You were just speaking like a U150 player :P

            (7 years ago)

            For clarity’s sake:
            If an effect is capable of influencing Poke Powers AND Poke Bodies, it can influence Pokemon Powers. If it only targets one or the other, it cannot.
            If something affects Pokemon Powers, on the other hand, it automatically affects both Poke Bodies and Poke Powers.

            There is NO transparency between Abilities and Powers/Bodies. Effects that target Poke Powers, Poke Bodies, or even Pokemon Powers CANNOT target abilities and effects that target abilities cannot target the others.

            (7 years ago)

            And that last paragraph is a total ruling failure seeing as Pokemon-Powers and Abilities are exactly the same mechanic, combining both static and activated abilities. When the introduced Powers & Bodies they tried to make them work with the old cards, when Abilities came along in B&W they didn’t even try, typical B&W on attitude.
            Oh yeah… Mew. It’s cool, I want one (<on topic :P )

            Also it pretty much works exactly like a Poke-Body

    Playing this at the right time could theoretically end a game right_there against opponents who lack the ability to devolve their pokemon.

      Well until Mew finally KOs something and they have room to put a Basic down again. It is a nice card though, I’d really like one to give it a go.

        Or you could just sit there and stare at them. Preferably with Dark Vileplume on the bench, and wait for them to deck out.

    In Unlimited, PHB would screw this over 50% of the time.

      actually, 100%: the official ruling is that any Pokemon Power that stops working when any of those three status conditions are applied to the defending pokemon will also stop working when the defending pokemon is poisoned or burned.

        But that doesn’t make sense… the obvious intent was for Poison not to stop them…

          The original creators intended for Poison to not shut down powers, yes. However when Pokemon Company took over the TCG they decided to change that.
          Yet another reason not to mix post eReader cards with the original run. Besides the ridiculous power creep they decided to recon older cards to be crappier.

            I thought both Wizards and TPCi didn’t really have anything to do with the actual development of the game?

          • MarxForeverBrian Duddy

            (7 years ago)

            Initially they didn’t . But around 2002 Nintendo took the reigns for the original developers and started making the cards in house through a division of Pokemon Company.

    Since when does Psyshock confuse? I smell a typo.
