Help Mimikyu Copycat Ruling

[Robert Mitchell]

Heya guys, newish to Pokemon and enjoying it so far, just played a match with my unedited Hidden Moon deck vs. my friend's unedited Ho-Oh Legendary deck and I managed to scrape a win.

But we may have made one mistake-

Copycat.

My friend had enough different energies attached to his Ho-Oh GX to hit me for 140 with Rainbow Beam (20+ another 20 for each different type of energy attached), which killed my active Pokemon.

I brought out Mimkyu and used Copycat, under the assumption I'd hit him for 140 damage.

Is this correct?

Or, given I only had two Psychic energy attached to Mimkyu, would I have only done 40 damage? (20+ another 20 for each different energy attached to my Mimkyu, in this case only Psychic energy)


I'm guessing it should have just been the 40 damage?


cheers
Rob

Forty damage is correct. You don't copy the damage, you copy the attack.

Thanks for the reply, cheers
