Can I play Super Potion to heal damage from a Pokemon that has no energy attached?

The information on upcoming State/Provincial Championship tournaments isn't always available at one location. And so, once again this year, I have scanned the web--including the S/P/T forum, pokemon.com, and PTO/host websites and Facebook pages--for info on State/Provincial Championship...

On the other hand, not having reprints, and also not having cards that serve similar functions, make those cards expensive and difficult for new players to acquire. For example, I've found it difficult lately to help new Junior & Senior players build simple decks without a lot of good Basics...

(Inspired by a couple of recent posts by bulbasnore) I have a couple of new, 7-year-old players at league that are excited to participate in the dense season of tourneys we have right now, but don't have the play skills to survive even 2-3 turns against our more experienced Juniors. They have...

I'm not the greatest deckbuilder, and so normally I wouldn't chime in on this sort of thread. But it looks like you're looking for some last-minute sounding boards, so I guess I'll pitch in! How comfortable do you think your player is with strategic discarding? Ultra Ball and Dowsing Machine...

If Carnivine DEX (or Grimer PLF, after flipping heads) attacks with Lure Poison against an opponent with no Pokémon on the bench, is the opponent's active Pokémon poisoned? Lure Poison: Switch the Defending Pokémon with 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. The new Defending Pokémon is now...

EDIT: TPCi has posted an official NXD-LTR series decklist to the Pokemon.com Professor forums that supercedes the kluged one I linked to before. (Thanks Pete De Shaw!) I've linked to the new list in my signature below.

Wow congrats! (Rubs post for good luck)

How should the XY--Kalos Starter Set be abbreviated on tournament decklists? ___________________________ Andy Taton

We'll be running Deck Workshops at our St. Paul, MN league over the next couple weeks, teaching new players about filling out decklists and constructing format-legal decks in prep for upcoming League Challenges. Does anyone have a blank decklist (either Pokemon-provided or home-made) that...

Nope, from a public relations perspective, it really does not matter whether it took place at the hotel or at the event, TPCi still inherits some of the public's blame. And from a legal perspective, TPCi, event organizers, and venues (at least in the U.S.) retain the right to allow or disallow...

I don't pretend to know TPCi's or Nintendo's strategy on this. I also cannot speak for the majority of players. I do personally hope that TPCi acts in a way that maintains the positive reputation of Pokemon. On the one hand, I believe that it's important that TPCi gives the impression that...

Hotwire.com hotel update: There is currently a 3-1/2-star, "State Capitol - Univ. Area - Central Madison area" hotel available on Hotwire for $58/night. Based on the amenities (free parking, free internet) it was clearly not the Hilton attached to the venue, but I booked it anyway. It's the...

This info came from a different thread, but I figured I would re-post it here:

Deal, but only if you tell me when and where Kentucky States is going to be. Just kidding. Mostly. P.S. to thread followers: At the beginning, some of the early "sources" I linked to were just PokeGym posts by TO's saying, "It will be on this or that weekend," but didn't give info on the...

The website for Da-Planet, the event host for Hawaii's State Championship, previously listed their tournament as occurring on March 16th. But now, the same website says the event will be on Sunday, March 10th. I'm not sure if that's right, but I bet Hawaiian players know what's going on better...

I don't really have an opinion about this either way. Organized Play allocates resources differently to Juniors, Seniors and Masters. In some areas, P!P allocates more resources to Masters than Juniors or Seniors. Judges are provided, TOs/PTOs staff events, and venues are rented out more for...

The schedule mentions top 16 Masters on Sunday--do you anticipate finishing top cut for Juniors and Seniors on Saturday then?

Excellent, thanks! Do you have a website link with further info that I can put in the OP?
