Say my opponent has Flutter Mane with the "Midnight Fluttering" Ability active and I have Palafin with "Zero to Hero" Ability active. If I switch or retreat Palafin to the bench, does "Zero to Hero" activate and allow me to search my deck and swap it with a Palafin ex or not?: Zero to Hero is used when Palafin has moved to the Bench.
