Ruling Galarian Weezing [RCL, SHF] Severe Poison - When Does Effect Stop?

[handsomep]

If Galarian Weezing attacks once, but does not attack again, are 4 damage counters still placed on your active Pokemon on subsequent turns? Seems like that effect is tied to the attack so I would think not, but just checking.

Hey, good to see you again!
The 4 damage counters relates to Poison damage so they are placed on the Pokémon between turns as long as it remains Poisoned (regardless of whether Weezing attacks again or not).
This effect only stops when the Pokémon recovers from Poison or is Knocked Out.


EDIT: Yes, I think the effect would continue even if Weezing leaves play. But don't take this from me, try playing TCG Live Online or watch others play to confirm.

Interesting. And what if Galarian Weezing is knocked out, would the effect (4 damage counters instead of 1) continue even then?

It continues as long as the Pokemon remains Poisoned by the attack, regardless of whether or not Galarian Weezing remains Active. However, if another Pokemon poisons the target, the new Poison condition overwrites the old one and Galarian Weezing's modifier would go away.
