at a recent tourney, the opponent had a buzzaped electrode on a
pokemon. I
tried to remove it with an energy removal but the judge said that i couldn't
remove it because it is still a PKMN. I dont beleive him. can i use
nrg
removal to remove a buzzaped electrode??
Once the Electrode is "Buzznaped", it is no longer a Pokemon, but rather an Energy card that produces 2 Energy of a single type. It loses all characteristics of a Pokemon and gains all the characteristics of an Energy card, so yes, it can be Energy Removaled.
