For most deck list errors, players are now given a Game Loss under the new penalty guidelines. I'm looking to see at what point you game loss a player, and at what point do you say, ok, you get a warning this time. I find most of the time, you get the following issues: Spelling errors...

If Groudon uses Gaia Volcano and destroys Sky Field and simultaneously KOs a Pokemon, what happens first? The promotion of the new active Pokemon or the discarding down to 5 pokemon each on the bench?

Sonic Ace discards a Double Dragon Energy from MLatios EX and targets an Aegislash EX. Does it deal damage?

Are there any rules in regards to de-clumping a deck?

If I use Land's Judgement and discard a strong energy to boost damage, leaving no energy, does Aegislash EXs ability block Land's Judgement? All timing Edit: Found the answer on Pokemon Forums. Aegislash EX blocks the damage As a result, I need a different question answered. The way damage is...

Donphan PLS vs Darkrai EX. Donphan uses Wreck and picks Shadow Circle. How much damage does Darkrai EX take? I'm assuming from the Cobalion EX Righteous Edge vs Special Metal Energy ruling that Darkrai EX takes 140 Damage then Shadow Circle is discarded?

With the release of Lysandre's Last Resort, I feel a lot of horrid situations could come up. I'm wondering what actions you would all take in the following situations. 1. He said, She said - P1 accuses P2 of using 2 supporters in a turn, the second being Lysandre's Last Resort. This shuffles...

Wreck - If there is any Stadium card in play, this attack does 60 more damage. Discard that Stadium card. Fighting Stadium - The attacks of each Fighting Pokémon in play (both yours and your opponent's) do 20 more damage to the Defending Pokémon-EX (before applying Weakness and Resistance). If...

Professor's Letter/Superior Energy Retrieval and whatever Pokémon you wish. Do you have any idea what Pokémon you want to combo it with?

lol oh well. I'm not even sure rivershock understood the joke. Bianca and bicycle can't possibly do what I'm implying with Battle Reporter, because they have limits of drawing til 6 and 4 respectively. I am curious to which meta-ruling Tagrineth is talking about though.

Draw cards until you have the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent. Just watch as someone with more cards in their hand than their opponent plays this. Can you see it? "I'm drawing til I deck out because I never actually match my opponent's hand size. It doesn't say I can't play...

Nothing really stops us from having more BRs per season, but sure, focusing on potential CP gained, BR < LC. I just feel the way it's run makes LCs worse. I also disagree that getting new players into the game is the goal/idea of tier 1 events. You just don't throw newbies into an arena where...

I don't think any of those cards are good enough honestly. Training Center is so easily countered with another stadium and doesn't help our poor weak basics survive the initial couple of turns. Evolution decks that go first eat up to 100 damage from Landorus EX on Turn 1 Evolution decks that go...

I do also want to post something positive-ish about your idea of a ban list. I feel, just perhaps, that people are forgetting that in Pokemon, card combos can't infinite loop like YGO can, nor can you insta-win with a combo similar to Porydonk, not in this format anyway. You would use a ban list...

However, in a game where you can play 4 of everything, a side deck seems almost worthless to the less competitive and some of the more competitive who want to play tier 1 decks because its a easy win but thats not fun and is ruining the fun of the game. Worthless to the less competitive because...
