Play Clefairy Doll as if it were a Basic Pokémon.
While in play, Clefairy Doll counts as a Pokémon
(instead of a Trainer card). Clefairy Doll has
no attacks, can't retreat, and can't be Asleep,
Confused, Paralyzed, or Poisoned. If Clefairy
Doll is Knocked Out, it doesn't count as a
Knocked Out Pokémon. At any time during
your turn before your attack, you may discard
