Abilities

Zero to Hero

Once during your turn, when this Pokémon moves from the Active Spot to the Bench, you may search your deck for a Palafin ex and switch it with this Pokémon. Any attached cards, damage counters, Special Conditions, turns in play, and any other effects remain on the new Pokémon. If you switched a Pokémon in this way, put this card into your deck. Then, shuffle your deck.

Its physical capabilities are no different than a Finizen’s, but when its allies are in danger, it transforms and powers itself up.

Say my opponent has Flutter Mane with the "Midnight Fluttering" Ability active and I have Palafin with "Zero to Hero" Ability active. If I switch or retreat Palafin to the bench, does "Zero to Hero" activate and allow me to search my deck and swap it with a Palafin ex or not?

Zero to Hero is used when Palafin has moved to the Bench. Therefore, it is not blocked by Midnight Fluttering.

When I use Palafin's "Zero to Hero" Ability, do I shuffle both Palafin and the Basic Finizen cards into my deck, or just the Stage 1 Palafin card since it says to shuffle "this card" into the deck?

Only the Palafin goes back into the deck. Finizen stays in play, going underneath the Palafin ex.
