- If I use Walrein's "Frigid Fangs" attack and on my opponent's turn they somehow move Walrein to the Bench, do they still need more than 2 Energy attached to their Pokemon to attack?
- Yes. The effect resides on all of the opponent's Pokemon, not on Walrein, so moving Walrein to the Bench does not get rid of the effect.
