ERRATA

== CRAGGY FACE (Glalie - DP:Mysterious Treasures)
* Some abilities referring to "Stage 2 Evolved Pokémon" are receiving errata. These cards do not care if the Pokémon is evolved or not, only if it is a Stage 2 Pokémon. So, Stage 2 Pokémon put into play with abilities like Garchomp LV.X's "Restore" attack still count for these abilities. Glalie's correct card text should read: "(Poké-Body) Craggy Face - As long as Glalie is your Active Pokémon, any damage done by attacks from your opponent's Stage 2 Pokémon is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance)".

== ELECTRIC BARRIER (Manectric - PL
latinum)
Q. If Manectric with "Electric Barrier" is knocked out by an attack that also would damage the bench, does it protect the bench even though it is KO'd?
A. When attacking you apply damage first, then all other effects, then check for KO's. The Poke-BODY is still there when the damage is done, so the bench is protected. (May 7, 2009 PUI Rules Team)

== STRONG-WILLED (Machamp Lv.x - DP:Stormfront)
Q. If I use Torterra's "Crash Impact" attack to knock out Machamp Lv.X which used "Strong-Willed" on its previous turn, what would happen? Does "Crash Impact" switch Machamp Lv.X to the bench first before it knocks it out, meaning "Strong-Willed" will not take effect? Or does Machamp Lv.X get to flip for "Strong-Willed" first before going to the bench?
A. If Machamp Lv.X is no longer the Active Pokemon, the Strong-Willed effect is cleared. So the damage is done to Machamp Lv.X first, then it is switched to the bench, then the attack is over and Machamp Lv.X does not get to check for Strong-Willed. (May 7, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
