== GNAWING AURA (Galarian Cursola V - SW: Champion's Path) <SWSH35_21>

Q. While the opponent's Galarian Cursola V's "Gnawing Aura" Ability is working, if you attach an energy from your hand to your Skiploom with the "Solar Evolution" Ability, do you place the 3 damage counters onto it before or after evolving to Jumpluff?
A. The owner of Skiploom can choose the order of the effects. They can choose to place the damage counters from Gnawing Aura before evolving; however, if they choose to use Solar Evolution first the effect of Gnawing Aura is ignored because Jumpluff is not the same Pokémon the energy was attached to. (Apr 28, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)


== LESSON IN ZEAL (Oricorio - SW: Fusion Strike) <SWSH8_42>

Q. If Mew VMAX uses its "Max Miracle" attack against the opponent's Fusion Strike Pokémon while the opponent has an Oricorio with the "Lesson in Zeal" Ability in play, does "Max Miracle's" damage get reduced or not?
A. The damage reduction of Lesson in Zeal is considered an "effect on the Pokémon". Max Miracle ignores ANY effect on the opponent's Active Pokémon, so therefore Max Miracle would be able to overcome the effect of Lesson In Zeal. (Apr 28, 2022 TPCi Rules Team)
