      What about a “this” that required a tool?

        Whooooo boy. With the ruling that effects that effect poke powers and pokebodies do not effect abilities, this guy and garbodor are  just going to be bizarre.  I can envision actual battles emerging between pokepower decks and ability decks.

        Not quite as good, Garbodor can’t end a Trainer/Item lock. There’s also better Grimers like the one from Legend Maker with Ascension (evolves from your deck) or the Rocket Returns one with a “Catcher” attack.

    “Even its footprints contain poison”
    Yes, it certainly left an undeniable footprint on the Unlimited metagame. This is a perfect example of a card that “scales up” alongside power creep. As long as broken power/trainer combos exist, this will be there to stop the insanity. Sadly, it’s a stage 1 pokemon. If they wanted a true unlimited defining card that wouldn’t necessarily “break” the limited format it was printed in, they could print a variation of this ability on Lunatone, Sableye, Spiritomb, or Sigilyph

    What happens when this is active and confused (so that it power doesn’t work) and the other active Pokemon is Ditto FO?

      From Wizards of the Coast :
      Q. What happens if Ditto copies a Confused Muk (so that when Ditto copies Muk’s Pokemon Power: Toxic Gas, it turns off its own Pokemon Power: Transform)?
      A. The end result is that Ditto is Ditto, not Muk. (Fossil FAQ, WotC Website)
