Ruling Regice LA

[SheNinja]

Can you use Regice if your opponent doesn't have any Benched Pokemon?

 

[DNA]

You can put Regice on your Bench. You can even attach to Energies to it and even attack with it if you have enough Energy to do so.

No but seriously, the answer is already in the Compendium. Look it up.

 

[SheNinja]

oh I meant the ability

 

[DNA]

Regice LA doesn't have an Ability.

No but seriously, the answer is already in the Compendium. Look it up.

poke power sheesh

 

[DNA]

That's what we all thought, until the Compendium told us otherwise. The 2 things are independent.
You can use the Poke-Power and discard 2 cards from your hand, regardless of whether or not you can switch the target.

 

[SheNinja]

So in order to use the Poke-Power you have to just be able to discard 2 cards?!

So you can just play it down use the Poke-Power without the opponent having any Benched Pokémon?!

 

[DNA]

oh for the love of crap
YES

Did you not even bother to look it up in the Compendium? The answer's right there.
