Ruling Espeon/Umbreon Prime and Garchomp LV. X MD

[graberjr]

Espeon Prime

Evolution Memories
Espeon can use the attacks of all Pokemon you have in play that evolve from Eevee as its own. (You still need the necessary Energy to use each attack.)

Umbreon Prime

Evoblast 50+
Does 50 damage plus 10 more damage for each of your Pokemon that evolves from Eevee.


My question is, does reviving evolutions of Eevee with Garchomp Lv. X's Revive attack let them count for these two card effects?

My logic for why it would is the words (at least Umbreon says this) "evolves from Eevee," not "evolved from Eevee." All the evolutions say "evolves from Eevee" at the corner so I would think that it would work even if you don't have Eevee under them.

I'm sketchy on Espeon cause it says "that evolve from Eevee" and I can't help but wonder if that changes the issue a bit.

The answer to your question can be found in the Compendium for a closely related ruling. In short, you are correct in your assumptions. Whether Umbreon or Espeon were actually played to evolve Eevee makes no difference as respects these Poké-Bodies/attacks; they are still Pokémon that say they 'evolve from Eevee' on their cards.

Q. Does the Pokemon have to have Eevee beneath it in order to receive the benefits from Espeon's "Sunlight Veil" or Umbreon's "Moonlight Veil" Poke-BODIES?
A. No. Let's say you brought in an Umbreon using Garchomp Lv.X's "Restore" attack— it's still a Pokemon that “Evolves from Eevee,” even though it didn't evolve that way to get into play. (DP:Majestic Dawn FAQ; May 22, 2008 PUI Rules Team)
