Abilities
Emerge
Once during your turn (before your attack), if Metapod is your Active Pokémon, you may flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for a card that evolves from Metapod and put it onto Metapod. (This counts as evolving Metapod.) Shuffle your deck afterward. This power can't be used if Metapod is affected by a Special Condition.
Attacks
RamA steel-hard shell protects its tender body. It quietly endures hardships while awaiting evolution.

If I use Caterpie's "Pupate" Poke-POWER to successfully evolve into Metapod, can I then immediately use Metapod's "Emerge" Poke-POWER to attempt to evolve into Butterfree, all on the same turn?
Yes, you can.
