    Default Venusaur Pokemon Power (Base Set One) Question

    Hey, first time poster. My friends and I have started playing the TCG with our original base set one cards. My question is in regards to Venusaur's Pokemon Power.

    The power is: Energy Trans
    "As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may take 1 [leaf] Energy card attached to 1 of your Pokémon and attach it to a different one. This power can't be used if Venusaur is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed." http://pokemon.marriland.com/tcg/bs/15_venusaur

    Some of us think that means you can move ONE leaf energy during your turn and that's it. Others think that means you can move as many leaf energy cards you want during your turn. If that's confusing, let me give you an example:

    If you have three leaf energy cards on a Scyther and you put Venusaur in to play, can you take all three leaf energies from Scyther and put them on the Venusaur?
    Also, can this power be used while Venusaur is on the bench?

    And it's just come to my attention that Blastoise has the same power and Alakazam has a similar power. http://pokemon.marriland.com/tcg/bs/2_blastoise and http://pokemon.marriland.com/tcg/bs/1_alakazam

    So basically, can you move a bunch of energies (or damager counters) in one turn with those powers?

    If anybody has any preference to how they play this power, or if they know the definite way to play it, I would love to know. Any response is appreciated and thank you!

    The answer is "As often as you like during your turn". So if you move three grass energies over at one time, it counts as using the power three times, which is fine because there's no limit on the number of times you can use the power.

    Short answer: you can move around grass energies as much as you want.
