Ruling Togekiss - Serene Grace

[Hypno68]

Togekiss' Serene Grace says "Once during your turn, when you play Togekiss from your hand..."

Does this mean you must use Serene Grace immediately following the evolution or... can you evolve, do other actions (trainer, place a basic, use other Poke-Powers, etc.), and then, as long as it is still the same turn, use Serene Grace?

No, you can't put them on the stack. Once activated, it must resolve with nothing in between. THe only real things that are able to interrupt a Power is Alakazam MT.

Yes, that's exactly what it means. A Power like this must be your next action following the trigger event, or you forfeit your opportunity to use it.

They don't interupt the power, just prevent it from ever being able to activate. And like Kaga said, you can't do something in between a pokemon power/trainer/etc., such as play a great ball and then a quick ball, using the fast ball first (though this should be obvious cheating. However, you could quick ball and then great ball while your in there, unless a judge/opponet calls you on rushing. :/).

 

[DukeFireBird]

no, technically you are suppost to resolve each card as played, we just do both to make it easier.

Thank you everyone...

You confirmed my thoughts on this --- there were others I play with that thought otherwise.
