{C}{C}{C} → Damage Porter
Choose 1 of your opponent’s Pokémon. This attack does 10 damage times the number of damage counters on the Pokémon this card is attached to to that Pokémon. (Don’t apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
· Technical Machine rule: Attach this card to 1 of your Pokémon SP in play. That Pokémon may use this card’s attack instead of its own. When the Pokémon this card is attached to is no longer Pokémon SP, discard this card.

This would be quite a powerful card in conjunction with something like wailord, but it is still not as scary as morty’s TM 02.

I believe this card was the last “Technical Machine” to appear in the TCG? In Gen 5, there were two TM-like moves that appeared as ACE SPEC cards for Genesect-EX to use. And then in Gen 6 similar cards re-appeared in Double Crisis.

Is there any mechanic in the game (DPPt era or otherwise) that would prevent a Pokemon SP to stop being an SP?
JP
Nope, a mechanic like that was never made! (Nor would there be any way to level-up or evolve to remove “SP-ness”.)
So the “When the Pokémon this card is attached to is no longer Pokémon SP, discard this card” text on this card and on Energy Gain was never relevant.

the only relevant interaction i can think of at the time of printing would be Swoop! Teleporter from TRR (in Unlimited), but never anything in Standard
JP
Oh true, Swoop/Ninja Boy/Thorton are all relevant for that case!
