Done [TCG Standard] Festival Lead - In Between Hits

The simulator allows players to use triggers (items, abilities, etc.) between the two hits of Festival Lead. This happens for both Seaking and Dipplin and is shown in the replay above. This isn't what happens by the rules (and on TCG Live) as items, supporters, tool attachments, and abilities are not allowed to be used between the two hits.



also this is such a cool project, thanks so much for making it!

should you need to choose the second attack or should it automatically use the first attack?

for example if a mon has 2 attacks tackleand rollout and for the first hit you choose tackle then for the second hit should it ask you what attack to choose or should it strictly stick to the first hit attack that is tackle?

I don't think there's a ruling on it since Festival Lead only works with the intrinsic attacks (source), and all pokemon with the ability don't have a second printed attack, so it ends up being the latter in practice.

While it’s not important for Festival Lead, there is a Pawmot in our February set that could theoretically switch attacks (shenanigans like Relicanth are required), and allowing for two different attacks is good for backwards compatibility with Ancient Trait Barrage Pokemon and Rapid Strike Jumpluff.

Just got to check this, but exactly what Arcticblast said. If expanded ever becomes something that's added, it becomes incredibly important to code an option for two separate attacks, as Bunnelby is a good card in quite a few decks.

Also as zoe said, the phrasing for Festival Lead as an ability specifically states "attack it has" instead of "attack" so it basically cannot use any attacks that are given to it by any external tools.

Overall though, clicking the attack button should lock the user out of making any additional actions outside of a second attack, but the player should still retain the ability to end the turn between the two attacks, as the setup does not mandate the second attack.
