Ruling Splash Energy and Evolved Pokemon

[lt_tatter]

How does splash energy work for evolved pokemon? Say you attached to a M Blastoise Ex and it got knocked out, would the M blastoise returnt to the hand? or would the M blastoise and including the Blastoise Ex it evolved from return to the hand? what about the spirit link?

Moved from the TCG Help to the Ask a Professor as the OP is asking a rulings question. I've added scans of the cards in question, as that is what this section requires. I've also deleted any responses made while this thread in the TCG Help, as it is required that a Certified Pokemon Professor answers any rulings questions for the most accurate rulings. ~bbninjas

When you return an Evolution Pokemon to your hand, you also return all Pokemon it evolved from. Everything else (tools, energy) gets discarded.
