Right? Right. That is illegal. >Now... would the following scenario be valid; >Attach PlusPower to your ACTIVE Pokemon. >Use Switch to make a benched Pokemon active (former active pokemon >retains pluspower while going to the bench). >Use Switch or retreat to get the benched pokemon with the PlusPower >still attached, back in the Active slot. That WOULD work. Benching Pokemon clears them of EFFECTS, but they retain all cards attached to them. >And if that works... could you do something similar with Defender, in >advance of an attack that damages Pokemon on both benches? Defender can be attached directly to Benched monsters. But, yes, you could attach it to an active and then Bench it. Either way... Brian Brokaw
