Ruling Foul Play on Weedle

[Inigo Montoya]

Hooray for more Foul Play rulings~

So, hypothetically I'm playing Umlimited several years from now and they have made a Zoroark evolution (I know it sounds sorta dumb, but I'm curious on this ruling) My Zoroark attacks a Weedle with Foul Play, and I choose Speed Evolution.

Would I get to find the Zoroark evolution since you can replace 'Weedle' with 'This Pokemon'?

Technically, you would if there was a legal Zoroark evolution. But what-if scenarios are kind of redundant because nobody really knows what will happen in the future.

Kakuna doesn't evolve from Zoroark so it isn't a legal play. The rulebook does cover illegal evolutions as forbidden plays.

He's asking if there was a Zoroark Evolution card in the current Format would he be able to evolve. He's not asking to evolve to a Kakuna. That question was already asked and answered here: http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=96326

Whoops, my mistake. I wasn't paying attention to the card text and was thinking of a totally different question.
