+UPDATE: Fighting Stadium uses the text "Defending Pokemon", but it has been determined that it should read "opponent's Active Pokemon". An errata is in the works for this and will be issued soon. In the meanwhile, we'll get a ruling published and posted.
-{{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Fighting Stadium|90}} is also a card that we will confirm how the effect should be resolved. It uses the text "Defending Pokemon" which indicates that if Landorus EX uses the attack Hammerhead while Fighting Stadium is in play, then it would get the bonus for damage done to the benched Pokemon as well, if it chose a Pokemon EX on the Bench. However, some players have noted that the language used in Japan would correspond to what is now being translated as "opponent's Active Pokemon".
+Landorus EX's Hammerhead attack will therefore only get the bonus on damage done to the Active Pokemon EX.
-For now, we have to go by the text as printed, so Benched Pokemon EX, if damaged by a {F} Pokemon's attack while Fighting Stadium is in play, will take the bonus damage.
 {{TCG|Furious Fists|Strong Energy|104}}, on the other hand, references the opponent's Active Pokemon, and so will NOT add to damage done to Benched Pokemon.
