POKEMON ABILITIES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== RESTORATION (Darkrai GX - SM: Burning Shadows)
Q. If I use Darkrai GX's "Restoration" Ability and then somehow it gets back into the Discard Pile (e.g. Parallel City, followed by Field Blower), could I use "Restoration" again to retrieve it from the Discard Pile?
A. Yes, whenever Darkrai GX is in the Discard Pile, you may use Restoration during your turn as long as its Ability has not been disabled. (Aug 31, 2017 TPCi Rules Team)

POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== SPARKLING WISH (Diancie - SM: Burning Shadows)
Q. Can I use Diancie's "Sparkling Wish" Attack to search your deck for an Evolution card even if you have no valid targets to evolve?
A. Yes, you can, but only because it is an attack. You do as much of the attack as you can, so you can search through your deck but nothing more. (Aug 31, 2017 TPCi Rules Team)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TRAINER CARDS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== GUZMA (SM: Burning Shadows)
Q. Can I play Guzma if my opponent doesn't have any Pokemon on their Bench?
A. No, you cannot. If the opponent doesn't have a bench there's no way to do the second part of the trainer, and you cannot play a Trainer card for no effect. (Aug 31, 2017 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. If I use Guzma and choose my opponent's Primal Groudon-EX that has the "Omega Barrier" Ancient Trait, do I still get to switch my own Pokemon?
A. Since Omega Barrier prevents the first effect of Guzma, you do not get to switch your Pokemon. (Aug 31, 2017 TPCi Rules Team)
