Attacks

CSand Attack

If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.

CDouble Stab
10x

Flip 2 coins. This attack does 10 damage times the number of heads.

They flock in great numbers. Though small, they flap their wings with great power.

Rulings (2)

When I try to attack, does Marowak's "Bodyguard" Ability prevent me from having to flip a coin if my active Pokemon was attacked last turn with Silicobra's "Sand Attack"?

The effect of Sand Attack is on your Pokemon that was attacked, not on you. So, Bodyguard does not prevent you from having to flip a coin to see if the attack goes through

If your opponent used Sandshrew's "Sand Attack" on the previous turn, and you attack with Passimian's "Intentional Grounding" which requires you to discard a Tool from your hand or the attack does nothing, do you discard the Tool before you flip for the Sand Attack effect or after?

Flip for the Sand Attack effect first; if it's tails your attack ends immediately, or if it's heads you proceed with your attack as normal.
