CARDEX BACKGROUND

The story behind this Trainer card

Battle Cage prevents effects of attacks and Abilities from opposing Pokémon from placing damage counters on Benched Pokémon. Its protection applies to both sides. However, it distinguishes such placements from attack damage, which still occurs as the parenthetical text specifies. The Stadium therefore does not make Benches invulnerable to every form of damage from an opponent.

Background on this Trainer card’s printed effect; its edition, language and finish remain distinct.

A detail worth noticing

Battle Cage separates two mechanisms: placing counters through an effect and dealing attack damage. Protection concerns the former on the Bench, while the parenthetical text explicitly preserves attack damage. This difference limits the stated defence.
