If I use Jirachi CoL's attack Time Hollow, and devolve 3 of my opponents pokemon sending them back to his/her hand, can they immediately evolve their pokemon again next turn? Or would they have to wait a turn since the new basic/stage 1 they are left with has been out for 0 turns once their turn starts?
Example:
Opponent Turn 1: Opponent evolves into Charizard.
Player Turn 1: Jirachi uses Time Hollow on Charizard.
Opponent Turn 2: Evolve straight back into Charizard from Charmeleon, or must they leave Charmeleon out for 1 turn before evolving back into Charizard since it is "new" to the field?
Player Turn 2: Retreat Jirachi, PWN Charmeleon.
I would think that they would have to wait at least one turn before evolving again because of how pokemon react when they evolve. The pokemon must be in play for 1 full turn before evolving at all, and when they do evolve, all conditions are cleared, more or less creating a new pokemon entirely, and this "new" pokemon created from devolving has not been on the turn for 1 full turn. The fact that they had been played for 1 full turn previously shouldn't matter.
