You may play any number of Item cards during your turn.
A player may use Strange Timepiece to devolve a Psychic-type Pokémon that had evolved from a non-Psychic-type Pokémon (eg. devolving a Tinkaton ex that was evolved from a Metal-typeTinkatuff all the way down to a Tinkatink).[1]
A player may use Strange Timepiece to devolve 1 of their damaged Psychic-type Pokémon such that the damage will cause the devolved Pokémon to be Knocked Out.[1]
Any card effects that override normal Evolution rules (namely by allowing Pokémon to evolve on the same turn they are played) will override Strange Timepiece's ruling that prevents a Pokémon devolved with it from evolving again on the same turn. These include, but are not limited to, the following situations:[1]
If a player uses Strange Timepiece to devolve their Psychic-type Pokémon in the Active Spot into Eevee with the "Boosted Evolution" Ability, that Eevee may evolve again on the same turn.
If a player uses Strange Timepiece to devolve their Psychic-type Rabsca into a Grass-typeRellor, and the Forest of Vitality Stadium is in play, Forest of Vitality makes it so that the Rellor may evolve again into a Grass-type Rabsca on the same turn.
A player may use Technical Machine: Evolution to evolve their Benched Pokémon that was devolved using Strange Timepiece on the same turn.
If a player uses Acerola's Mischief on 1 of their Psychic-type Pokémon and then devolves it with Strange Timepiece, the effect of Acerola's Mischief on that Pokémon will be considered lost.[1]
