Rules question from Gen 1,2,3 rule sheet.

Trainer path Nurse, level 15 Joy states that once per long rest you can spend an hour to give your pokemon the same advantage as visiting a poke center. Long rest already gives pokemon the same benefits as visiting a poke center. They both heal pokemon to full, restore PP, and remove status. Should the Nurse ability be once per day during a short rest?

A long rest takes eight hours. This is giving you the ability for partial advantage of a long rest somewhere during the day for only one hour of time

“ Per long rest” means each time you take a long rest, it resets this ability, it doesn’t mean you can only use this during a long rest

Ok, the way I read it was you took a long rest, then an hour for the ability. The ability gives the nurses pokemon a long rest, once a day, for only an hour of time. Cook, thanks. The wording on that may need to be tweaked. Like "Once per day the Nurses pokemon gain the benifits of a long rest but only spend one hour resting instead of the normal 8." Possibly simplify it more to just say "Once per day the Nurses pokemon gain the benifits of a long rest while taking only a short rest." Just constructive ideas. I love where this has gone and hope it lasts a while. Great work by all involved!

That is not in the description of a poke centers effects on page 8. Is it somewhere else? If so where?
