POKEMON POWERS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== CHILLING BREATH (Walrein EX - EXower Keepers)
Q. If Walrein-EX uses "Chilling Breath" and then KO's the Defending Pokemon, does the effect go away?
A. No, this affect resides on the opposing player, not on any Pokemon in play. (EXower Keepers FAQ; Feb 1, 2007 PUI Rules Team)
== CURSED EYES (Absol EX - EXower Keepers)
Q. When using Absol-EX's "Cursed Eyes", do I have to move all three counters or can I choose to move less than three (like if I only need to move one counter to KO another Pokemon and wished to leave the other two where they are)?
A. You must move 3 from that Pokemon if there are 3 that can be moved. (EXower Keepers FAQ; Feb 1, 2007 PUI Rules Team)
Q. If my opponent has a Pokemon with only 2 damage counters on it, can I still use Absol-EX's "Cursed Eyes" Poke-POWER on it?
A. Yes, you can. If you use this power, you move the 2 damage counters to another one of your opponent's Pokemon. (EXower Keepers FAQ; Feb 1, 2007 PUI Rules Team)
Q. If my opponent has more than one Pokemon with damage on it, can I use Absol-EX's "Cursed Eyes" Poke-POWER on one that has less than 3 damage counters even if they have another Pokemon with 3 or more damage counters on it?
A. You may choose to use Absol-EX's power against any Pokemon with damage counters, but if it has less than three you would move all of the damage counters off of it. (Feb 1, 2007 PUI Rules Team)
== ENERGY GROUNDING (Lanturn - EX:Hidden Legends; Lanturn - EXower Keepers)
[CHRISBO NOTE: Add Lanturn (Power Keepers) to this section's header]
Q. If my Muk-EX is active and gets KO'd by an opponent's attack, and I have a Lanturn with the power "Energy Grounding" on the bench, can I then use Energy Grounding to take an energy card from Muk-EX and attach to Lanturn?
A. No, you cannot. The effect of Toxic Gas goes away at the same time when the KO'd Pokémon gets discarded. At that point, Lanturn cannot retreive any Energy from that Pokemon. (Oct 12, 2006 PUI Rules Team; Feb 1, 2007 PUI Rules Team)
***** PREVIOUS RULING: THIS ONE HAS BEEN OVERRULED; See Above *****
Q. If my Muk-EX is active and gets KO'd by an opponent's attack, and I have a Lanturn with the power "Energy Grounding" on the bench, can I then use Energy Grounding to take an energy card from Muk-EX and attach to Lanturn?
A. At the point at which Muk-EX is recognized as being KO'd, it's Toxic Gas power is no longer in effect. Therefore, Lanturn's Energy Grounding would be able to be used at that point. (Jul 29, 2004 PUI Rules Team)
== PRIMAL STARE (Omastar - Skyridge; Kabutops - EXower Keepers)
[CHRISBO NOTE: Add Kabutops to this section's header; no new rulings at this time.]
P== PSYCHIC PROTECTOR (Flygon EX - EXower Keepers)
Q. Can I discard 3 cards for Flygon-EX's "Psychic Protector" Poke-BODY even if it is only being attacked for 10 damage?
A. Yes, you can discard more cards than you are being damaged for (up to four). (EXower Keepers FAQ; Feb 1, 2007 PUI Rules Team)
Q. Does Flygon-EX's "Psychic Protector" effect trigger before Weakness & Resistance, or after?
A. The effect triggers after Weakness & Resistance have been applied to the damage. (EXower Keepers FAQ; Feb 1, 2007 PUI Rules Team)
== SHARING (Milotic - EXragon Frontiers)
Q. If I go first and play Rare Candy to evolve to Milotic and then use its "Sharing" Poke-POWER, can I use a supporter from my opponent's hand on the first turn of the game?
A. Yes, you can; "using a Supporter" as the effect of a Poke-POWER is treated differently than "playing a Supporter card". Of course, you must still meet all requirements that are necessary to use that Supporter normally (except for the Supporter rule). (Dec 7, 2006 PUI Rules Team; Feb 1, 2007 PUI Rules Team)
***** PREVIOUS RULING: THIS ONE HAS BEEN CLARIFIED AND CONFIRMED; See Above *****
Q. If I go first and play Rare Candy to evolve to Milotic and then use its "Sharing" Poke-POWER, can I use a supporter from my opponent's hand on the first turn of the game?
A. This question has been referred to Japan for confirmation. But for now, Milotic's Sharing Poke-POWER can play supporters from the opponent's hand on the first turn of the game. Of course, you must still meet all requirements that are necessary to use that supporter normally (except for the supporter rule). (Dec 7, 2006 PUI Rules Team)

== PHOEBE'S STADIUM (EXower Keepers)
Q. Phoebe's Stadium says, "Each player pays {C}{C} less to retreat his or her {P} Pokemon." Does this count as reducing the Pokemon's Retreat Cost?
A. Yes. If another Pokemon has an attack that does damage based on the Psychic Pokemon's Retreat Cost, that attack would do damage based on the modified retreat cost (subtract {C}{C}). (EXower Keepers FAQ; Feb 1, 2007 PUI Rules Team)
