Iron Thorns

I just played a match where I expected Iron Thorn's Initialization ability (stop abilities from Pokémon with rule boxes ie: EX and V) to block the damage increase ability Cobalt Command of Iron Crown.

What did I misunderstand?

    Make sure you read the entire card. You stopped before the end.

    "As long as this Pokémon is in the Active Spot, Pokémon with a Rule Box in play (both yours and your opponent's) have no Abilities, *except for Future Pokémon. * (Pokémon ex, Pokémon V, etc. have Rule Boxes.)"

    Indeed Iron Thorn ex ability doesn't affect Iron Crown ex because it's a "Future" Pokemon… Don't blame yourself too much tho it's a common misread 🙂 I've been there too lol
