Between Turns

    Hi There,

    I wonder if someone could explain what "between turns" means. For instance, when the "Dark Tyranitar" card says: "put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's defending pokemon between turns" does it mean that 1 damage counter gets put on the defending pokemon after each player has made their moves (i.e. 2 damage counters after both players have taken their turns), or does it mean that it only happens once any time between when a player takes their turn and the next time the same player takes their turn (i.e. 1 damage counter after both players have taken their turns).

    I appreciate your attention and expertise,

    'Between Turns' quite literally means between the turns of both players.

    So using your example, of Dark TTar:
    - Player 1 Ends turn.
    - Dark TTar's Pokepower places a damage counter on opponents (player 2s) Pokemon if it meets the requirements (ie benched basics)
    - Player 2 Begins turn
    - Player 2 Ends turn
    - Dark TTar's Pokepower places a damage counter on opponents if it meets the requirements
    - Player 1 Begins turn
     
    It works the same as the poison/burn markers.
    Between turns means after EACH player's turn.
