Hello there!
I have a burning question and my research did not offer anything substantial. Perhaps my search was flawed, but I hope that someone here can answer my question or tell me where to find the answer.
Following issue:
I have a Pokémon equipped with a card that increases its health. That same Pokémon gains damage beyond its normal HP, but within the boundaries of the enhanced HP through the equipment.
I proceed to return that card from play to somewhere else.
What happens?
For instance:
I have Zapdos (ROS 23) with Fighting Fury Belt in play and it cumulates 150 damage, which normally would have knocked it out long ago, but due to the attached tool, it lives through the pain.
Then I play Cassius or AZ and return Zapdos to the deck or my hand.
In which order do things happen?
a) Is the tool discarded before Zapdos returns, hence Zapdos becomes knocked out, before succesfully escaping from the field?
b) Does Zapdos return before the attached cards are resolved and the damage is healed?
c) Something completely different.
Your help is highly appreciated!
Thank you so much in advance!
