Ruling Cobalion's Iron Break (Red Collection)

[Spoink!]

Cobalion - Metal - HP120
Basic Pokemon

[M][C] Energy Breath: 20+ damage. This attack does 20 more damage for each Energy card attached to the Defending Pokemon.
[M][M][C] Iron Break: 80 damage. The Defending Pokemon cannot attack during your opponent's next turn.

Weakness: Fire (x2)
Resistance: Psychic (-20)
Retreat: 2

When you use Iron Break, can your opponent retreat and use another Pokemon to attack next turn, or are they completely unable to attack next turn? I think it's the first option, but I still want to ask.

 

[DNA]

It's the first option. The effect is considered to be on the Defending Pokemon - and thus gets removed if it retreats/evolves.

Another note, we usually do not give out rulings for cards not yet released in English. It's easier in this case, as we have the English wording for Beartic (which has the exact same effect for its Sheer Cold attack), but in future, ask your questions about cards that are released in English. Thanks!
