== TOOLBOX (Sigilyph - BW
lasma Blast)
Q. If Sigilyph with the "Tool Box" Ability gets attacked with something that discards a Pokemon Tool who gets to choose which tool gets discarded?
A. If an attack says to discard a Pokemon Tool it will discard all tools attached to that Pokemon, not just one. So poor Sigilyph would lose all of his tools. (Plasma Blast FAQ; Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. If Sigilyph with the "Toolbox" Ability has Plasma Badge and Reversal Trigger attached, do I get to search my deck for a card when it is KO'd by an attack?
A. Yes, you can. The tools are still present on the Pokemon when it's KO'd (assuming the attack does not discard the tools first), so you would get to use the effect of Reversal Trigger since Plasma Badge makes Sigilyph a Plasma Pokemon. (Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. Can you attach more than one tool of the same name to Sigilyph with the "Toolbox" Ability? And if so, do the effects of the tools stack?
A. Yes to both questions. (Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
== VERDANT WIND (Virizion EX - BWlasma Blast)
Q. If I have Virizion EX in play and use Hydreigon's "Dark Trance" ability to move a Blend Energy GPRD onto a Pokemon affected by a status condition, will Virizion EX's "Verdant Wind" Ability remove the Special Condition?
A. Yes, it does. Any time a Grass Energy card becomes attached to a Pokemon while Verdant Wind is enabled causes Special Conditions to be removed. (Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. If I have Virizion EX on the bench and my Active Pokemon has a Grass Energy attached, would my opponent be able to play Hypnotoxic Laser since the Pokemon with Grass Energy attached "can't be affected by special conditions"?
A. The opponent can play Hypnotoxic Laser, but its effect would be blocked. (Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)

POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== LIFESPLOSION (Cradily - BWlasma Blast)
Q. For Cradily's "Lifesplosion" attack, do I need to have the corresponding Stage 1 Pokemon in play in order to put the Stage 2 Pokemon on my bench?
A. No, the Stage 2 Pokemon card goes directly onto the bench, even though it does not count as a "Basic Pokemon". (Plasma Blast FAQ; Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TRAINER CARDS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== COMPUTER SEARCH (Base Set; BW:Boundaries Crossed)
Q. Can you use Computer Search and fail to find a card in your deck?
A. No, you cannot. When searching for a Pokemon, Trainer, or other particular type of card you can voluntarily fail the search because the contents of the deck are unknown; but when searching for "a card" of any kind the game can tell whether there are cards in the deck and you must take one if instructed to do so. Although the contents of the deck are unknown, the quantity of cards in the deck is known. (Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
== G BOOSTER (BWlasma Storm)
Q. Would Genesect EX be able to attack with "G-Booster" if the Defending Pokemon has Silver Mirror attached?
A. G Booster gets through because it ignores all effects on the Defending Pokemon, including Silver Mirror. (Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
== IRIS (BWlasma Blast)
Q. In a prerelease or booster draft tournament where each player starts with only 4 prize cards, will Iris add 20 damage even if no prizes have been taken?
A. No, it does not. Limited format tournaments may start out with fewer prizes than the standard six, but that does not mean those fewer prizes count as being taken. (Plasma Blast FAQ; Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
== RANDOM RECEIVER (BWark Explorers; BWlasma Storm)
Q. Where do I put the Supporter card revealed with Random Receiver?
A. Read the Random Receiver card and you'll see it goes from the revealed cards into your hand before you shuffle. You do not put the card aside face up on the field nor shuffle before putting it into your hand. This applies to other cards that use the "reveal... put it in your hand... shuffle" template like Ultra Ball, etc. (Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
== SILVER BANGLE (BWlasma Blast)
Q. Can I attach Silver Bangle or Silver Mirror to a Pokemon-EX?
A. Yes you can, but it won't do anything other than count as an attached tool. (Plasma Blast FAQ; Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
== SILVER MIRROR (BWlasma Blast)
Q. Can I attach Silver Bangle or Silver Mirror to a Pokemon-EX?
A. Yes you can, but it won't do anything other than count as an attached tool. (Plasma Blast FAQ; Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. Would Genesect EX be able to attack with "G-Booster" if the Defending Pokemon has Silver Mirror attached?
A. G Booster gets through because it ignores all effects on the Defending Pokemon, including Silver Mirror. (Aug 15, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
