Ambipom G (RR 56). Unown G (GE 57). Ambipom G uses tail code, moving an energy from the opponent's active pokemon to a benched pokemon with unown G attached. the energy should be discarded.
ruling:
If I use Ambipom [G]'s “Tail Code” attack to move an energy card from the Defending Pokemon to one of my opponent’s Pokemon that has an Unown-G attached to it, what happens?
While Unown-G prevents the attachment of the energy to the protected Pokemon, it does not prevent the removal of the energy card from the Defending Pokemon. The energy card is discarded.
