We all know that switching to clear "next turn this pokemon can't attack" works as intended, but I had an interaction with pincurchin where my opponent used stun needle and paralyzed my pokemon, I used an escape rope to heal the paralyze and to push pincurchin to the bench, which I thought would prevent a follow up kerzap. But then they used a switch and pulled they're pincurchin back up and was able to use follow up kerzap. Is this correct? I assumed based on the card text that it would work backwards of a Miraidon attack, for example. Thanks!

    No bug here. Switching only removes effects of attacks. It doesn't cause the game state to forget what attack was used last turn.

    Not sure exactly how this would work, but I think that because it just says on Follow-up Kerzap "This attack can only be used if you used stun needle last turn", and Pinurchin still used that attack, it would work. I'm not sure relating it to a Miraidon ex is a great comparison, because Miraidon says it can't attack but Follow-up kerzap is based of having used an attack. I'm not one-hundred percent sure I am correct on this, but this is my first thought.
