Rulings

Area Zero Underdepths's effect of expanding the Bench from 5 to 8 applies to each player's in-play zone if and only if they have a Tera Pokémon in play. Thus, when Area Zero Underdepths is in play, the following rules apply:

  • If a player has no Tera Pokémon in play and 4 Benched Pokémon, and they use a card effect that allows them to put more than 1 Pokémon to the Bench at once (eg. Falinks's "Form Ranks" attack), they can only put 1 Pokémon to the Bench even if the Pokémon being put to the Bench is a Tera Pokémon.[1][2] Only once the Tera Pokémon is in play does Area Zero Underdepths's effect apply for that player.
  • If a player has a Tera Pokémon in the Active Spot and more than 5 Benched non-Tera Pokémon, and their Active Tera Pokémon is Knocked Out or otherwise removed from play, the player must discard their Benched Pokémon down to 5 first before promoting a new Active Pokémon, such that once the effect resolves, the player will have an Active Pokémon and 4 Benched Pokémon.[1][2][3]
  • If a player has a damaged Benched Tera Evolution Pokémon and more than 5 Benched Pokémon (including the Tera Pokémon), and if their opponent uses Technical Machine: Devolution to devolve the player's Tera Pokémon, the player discards their Benched Pokémon down to 5 first before resolving any other effects. Thus, the player may choose to discard the damaged Benched Pokémon that was just devolved; if the damaged Pokémon is discarded in this way, it is not considered Knocked Out, and the opponent does not take any Prize cards for it.[2][3]
  • Replacing an Area Zero Underdepths in play with Sky Field and vice versa will not change the number of Bench slots on either players' in-play zone, so long as all the requirements for either Stadium are fulfilled.[1]

Trivia
