Ruling Unown G

[kelvin0329]

Can electivire lv. X's pulse barrier attack or pachirisu's smash short remove unown G attached as a tool?

In fact, except windstorm, what else can remove a 'tool' state unown G?

No. The removal of the tool is an effect of the attack, which Unown G prevents.

Anything that discards Tools that isn't an attack. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure Windstorm is the only thing in Modified that qualifies.

And Tauros Cystal Guardians, as it's effect of discarding tools is a PokePower.

No, Tauros cg only removes stadium.

Oh. My apologies. Apparently my friend made a misplay when playing.
