I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this but am double checking the ruling regardless
Whimsicott (B/W EP No.2)
Encore : Chose one of the defending Pokemon's attacks. During your opponents next turn , that Pokemon can only use that attack
So, if i was to use that on a basic Squirtle on my turn, if it was subsequently evolved into Wartortle, would it be locked out of using an attack? To my mind there are 3 different rulings/reasons etc...
1. Yes, it's the same Pokemon, just an evolved form so the ability of Encore still applies.
2. No, when a Pokemon evolves it removes all existing conditions from it, not just status conditions
3. No, when a Pokemon evolves it's counted as a new Pokemon to the game so encore's affect wouldn't be applied.
I suspect it's option 3, but was curious.
Hope someone can help

You have chosen an attack which is not there anymore since the pokemon has evolved. _________________
