Ruling Recycle Energy.

[daviduk2000]

ok playing unlimited. id just like to ask exactly what counts as discarded from play. from these examples and more you can think of.

So in which of these cases does the energy go to my opponents hand.

- i use energy removal.
- i use an attack that lets me discard an energy of my opponents.
- i use an attack that discards all special energy.
- i use an attack that discards a card from his hand.
- i use a power that discards a card from his hand.
- i knock out my opponents pokemon which has it.
- my opponent retreats with it.
- my opponent discards it from the pokemon for an attack.
- my opponent discards it from his hand for an attack.
- my opponent discards it from his hand for a power.
- my opponent discards it from his hand for Supporter/trainer (old energy retrieval / engineers adjustments)
- my opponent discards it from his pokemon for a supporter / trianer (super potion)


thanks in advance. also if there is any obvious scenarios i missed can you point them out.
