• What does "Retreat" mean?
  A Pokémon retreating means it switches places with a Benched Pokémon. In order for a Pokémon to retreat to the Bench, you must discard from it Energy equal to its Retreat Cost. After making a Pokémon retreat to the Bench, you must choose another Benched Pokémon to send to the Active Spot. You may only retreat once per turn, during your turn.
  Basic Rule
• If I switched my Active Pokémon with a Benched Pokémon, can the Pokémon that was just sent out to the Active Spot attack?
