Just making sure: Winona can be used to fetch this guy, right? https://pkmncards.com/card/winona-roaring-skies-ros-96/

This isn’t a Pokemon, it’s a Trainer-Item that acts like an [C] Pokemon. It’s like how Bronzong can’t recycle Shield Energy from the discard, but Garchomp can. Shield Energy is ALWAYS an Energy, but it’s a [M[ energy ONLY when attached. This is a Trainer-Item ALWAYS, but is a Pokemon ONLY when it is benched.

Thanks for clarifying! I was wondering whether the word “play” might have allowed broader application of the “as if.”

Exactly. The ‘When in play’, or similar syntax, prevents cards like Bronzong and Winona from getting them.

If you have Energy attached to this thing, and discard it, do the Energies get discarded as well?
Rhonda Dillard
Yup.
