Ruling True of False - A LV X Question

[drewdwn]

Only the Active Pokémon, not the player's Benched Pokémon, can be Leveled-Up.

True. Only the player's Active Pokemon can be leveled up through normal means (it says so on the card).

The only way to level up a Benched Pokémon is to flip heads on Level Max. You cannot level up a Benched Pokémon normally.

However, if you level-up the Active Pokemon and it gets switched (or it retreats) later, the level-up card is still retained. You just can't level-up directly from the bench (without the use of Level Max or Promogon-Z).

I guess DNA sort of beat me to it but yes there exists a Porygon-Z promo that has an attack that can level up 1 of your Benched Pokémon, so you can use that, too.
