Lt. Surge’s Electrode (G2 52). Digger (TR 75). When I damage Lt. Surg’s Electrode(G2 52) from a tails flip on Digger (TR 75) it does not trigger the Shock Blast ability on Lt. Surges Electrode.
Lt.Surges Electrode’s ability states "Shock Blast - If Lt. Surge’s Electrode is your Active Pokémon and gets damaged (even if it’s Knocked Out), flip a coin. If tails, this power does 20 damage to each Active Pokémon. This power works even if Lt. Surge’s Electrode is already Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed when it takes damage.
It does not say the damage has to come from an attack so when I have to do 10 damage from a tails flip on digger it should trigger shock blast.
I do know that Darkness will not trigger due to the fact that Darkness energy states that you “put 1 damage counter on the pokemon” . here is that ruling
Q. Would Darkness energy trigger LS Electrode’s power after each turn? Or poison or chars too?
A. No, all of these put damage counters on the Pokémon, so none of these will work (they are not doing damage). (Jan 25, 2001 WotC Chat, Q195)
However the difference between Darkness energy and Digger is that digger states “If tails do 10 damage to your active pokemon”. Thus, it is not placing a damage counter on your pokemon but dealing 10 damage, and that is why it should trigger the shock Blast ability.
thank you for looking into this and have a great day
