Hello [insert 30+ “when this Pokémon comes into play” Basic Pokemon here] !

If I use this on a Legend, do I get the Legend back although it’s not a Basic Pokemon?
Shayne Small
No, It would effectively discard the legend due to the second sentence. There is no basic for a legend.

Just trying to understand this card a bit better.. If you play this card on a stage 2 Pokemon. Do you discard the stage 1 and the stage 2? Or do they stay in play. From what I understand, is that evolving a Pokemon is not the same as attaching something to the Pokemon, right? But if it had any tools/energy attached those would be discarded.

for WOTC-era cards it seems they just refer to evolutions as being “attached”, even though that’s not how we’d use the word “attach” for modern-day cards, e.g. Aerodactyl Neo Revelation. So for Scoop Up, you’d have to discard the Stage 1/2/etc.

Thanks for the clarification! Makes sense as it seems it would be way strong being able to recycle the same basic for evolving.

Just noticed, the Poké Ball here opens up wrong.

Yep, just like it opens up wrong on the back of every Pokemon card!
