[jamie756]: thats weird why exp all didnt trigger
[Axelsj]: probably dont register placing damage counters as taking damage… game is broken…
@developers
Unless there is a special ruling i am not aware of, you are absolutely correct. Bumping so the devs can fix it.
Bumping this one as its from about 4 years ago and does not seem to be marked as resolved
The active pokemon was knocked out by an effect, but since EXP.ALL doesn’t specify damage, the EXP.ALL attached to Vulpix should have allowed to move a basic energy from the active to the benched pokemon BUT
The FRLG print is mistranslated and never got errata; it should only trigger when “1 of your Active Pokémon is Knocked Out by damage from your opponent’s attack.”
Q. Player 1 has an active Dark Slowking with 50 damage and a Dark and a Psychic energy attached to it. He also had a benched Slowpoke with an EXP.ALL attached. Player 2 attacks with ATM Rock. Would the attack with the ATM Rock that knocked out his now-devolved Slowpoke activate the EXP.ALL?
A. EXP.ALL does not trigger from a KO of your Active Pokémon if the KO is a result of devolving. The EXP.ALL should only activate when KO’d due to damage, just like Jumpluff’s “Buffer”.
I think we can assume this is the case for the Neo Destiny print, too
So, this is not a bug?
Not a bug 
By the way, I am marking these rulings in the code so hopefully some day we’ll have a central database of over-rulings / erratas that are also visible in the game. But for that I have to do a very expensive refactoring operation in the backend, which I plan to do after resolving about 90% bug reports in this forum.
