Can I use Regi move to discard 2 cards from my hand, even if the defending pokemon is evolved? I've heard several different answers, so I was wondering which one was correct. Thanks for you time.

Q. Can you discard 2 cards from your hand with Regice's "Regi Move" Poke-POWER even if the opponent's Defending Pokemon is not a Basic Pokemon? Or what if they have no Benched Pokemon?
A. Yes, but then you cannot switch the opponent's Defending Pokemon. (Sep 4, 2008 PUI Rules Team; Jan 22, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
