== HEAL BLOCK (Bronzong - BW:Next Destinies)
Q. If I have Bronzong with the "Heal Block" Ability in play, can Pokemon Center stadium be used to heal any Pokemon in play?
A. No, you may not. (Next Destinies FAQ; Feb 9, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
== SLIPPERY SOLES (Vanilluxe - BW:Next Destinies)
Q. Can I use Vanilluxe's "Slippery Soles" Ability to make my opponent switch Pokemon if I don't have any Benched Pokemon?
A. No you may not. Slippery Soles requires you to switch your Active Pokemon with one of your Benched Pokemon first. (Next Destinies FAQ; Feb 9, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
== SMOOTH COAT (Cinccino - BW:Next Destinies)
Q. Is Cinccino's "Smooth Coat" Ability checked to prevent damage done by your own Pokemon's attacks?
A. Yes, it is. (Next Destinies FAQ; Feb 9, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== BOUNCE (Emolga- BW: Next Destinies)
Q. Can I use Emolga's "Bounce" attack if I have no bench?
A. Yes, you do as much of the attack as you can. First you do the damage, then you perform the switch if Emolga is able to go to the Bench. (Next Destinies FAQ; Feb 9, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
== DAUNT (Beartic - BW: Next Destinies)
Q. If I use Beartic's "Daunt" attack, but then Beartic is KO'd by Poison, does the effect of Daunt reducing damage done by attacks from the Defending Pokemon go away?
A. No, the effect of Daunt resides on the Defending Pokemon, not on Beartic. However, if the Pokemon that was attacked by Daunt evolves, goes to the Bench, or leaves play then the effect of Daunt goes away. (Next Destinies FAQ; Feb 9, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
== POWER PINCH (Pinsir - BW: Next Destinies)
Q. Pinsir's "Power Pinch" attack says "flip two coins; for each heads, discard an Energy attached to the Defending Pokemon". If I flip only one heads, can I discard a Double Colorless Energy (DCE) from the Defending Pokemon?
A. Yes, you can. (Next Destinies FAQ; Feb 9, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. Pinsir's "Power Pinch" attack says "flip two coins; for each heads, discard an Energy attached to the Defending Pokemon". If I flip two heads, can I discard two Double Colorless Energy (DCE) cards from the Defending Pokemon?
A. Yes, you can. (Next Destinies FAQ; Feb 9, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
== SURPRISE PUNCH (Nuzleaf - BW: Next Destinies)
Q. If I use Nuzleaf's "Surprise Punch" and my opponent has no Benched Pokemon, what happens to the Energy on the Defending Pokemon?
A. If there are no Benched Pokemon you just do as much as you can. You do 20 damage but no energy is moved or discarded. (Next Destinies FAQ; Feb 9, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)
== VENGEFUL WISH (Jellicent - BW:Next Destinies)
Q. Is the effect of Jellicent's "Vengeful Wish" attack cancelled if the damage from last turn was done while it was on the bench, or if the Pokemon that damaged it retreats or is KO'd?
A. Vengeful Wish is not an effect that can be cleared; it simply looks to see if damage was done to Jellicent by an attack last turn then does that amount of base damage to the current Defending Pokemon. (Next Destinies FAQ; Feb 9, 2012 TPCi Rules Team)

TRAINER CARDS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== HEAVY BALL (BW: Next Destinies)
Q. If Skyarrow Bridge is in play, can I still use Heavy Ball to search for a Basic Pokemon with a Retreat Cost of 3?

== POKEMON CENTER (BW: Next Destinies)
Q. If I have Bronzong with the "Heal Block" Ability in play, can Pokemon Center stadium be used to heal any Pokemon or not?
