Q. When you discard a card to play Holon Farmer, can you recover that discarded card into your deck?
A. No, you cannot. (Dec 1, 2005 PUI Rules Team)
Q. Can I use Holon Farmer if I don't have 3 Basic Energy and 3 Pokemon in the discard pile? For example, let's say I only have 2 Basic Energy in the discard pile...
A. If you do not have enough cards to meet the requirement, you must choose as many as you can up to three. But if you do have three or more, then you must choose three of them. (Dec 8, 2005 PUI Rules Team)

== DRAW PILE / DISCARD PILE
Q. Could I use a Poke-POWER, Poke-BODY, Attack, or Trainer to search through my deck for a particular card if I already know that card is not in my deck (i.e. using Energy Search if you know there are no basic Energy left in the deck due to previous unsuccessful searches)?
A. Yes you may, but if done repeatedly a judge may evaluate whether it's being used legitimately or merely as a stalling tactic. (Dec 8, 2005 PUI Rules Team)
