Ok, so if I use Rushing Flames, and discard a total of 4 energies (2 on Infernape, 2 on benched pokemon), will Heatran's Power recover all of them? Or just the 2 that were on Infernape.
Another question. If Houndoom G has been turned {D} by Weavile, and uses Dark Slash with 3 Special Dark energy and discards one, is that energy that is discarded included in damage calculation?
Yes of course. Why wouldn't it be? Unless I'm not seeing something...
That would do 90 damage right? Provided you discarded an energy.
40 +20 for discarding and the energy was on it for the attack so +30 for Spc. Darks = 90
I'm not sure because it discards an energy. If the energy gets discarded before its effect is applied into damage calculation, than it does 80 damage. If it gets discarded after its effect is applied into damage calculation, it's 90.
The energy is added to the calculation.
Because if you had 3 energies on your Houndoom G, and you discarded one for it's attack, then you would only have 2 energies left. That wouldn't make sense, so just count the extra 10 even though you're discarding.
