== ENERGY ANTICS (Smoochum - GS:Heart Gold/Soul Silver)
Q. May I use Smoochum's "Energy Antics" attack if my opponent only has an Active Pokemon and no Benched Pokemon?
A. Yes you can, although it won't move or discard the energy. There must be a Pokemon on the bench or you can't move the energy off the defending Pokemon. (Feb 18, 2010 PUI Rules Team)
Q. Does Smoochum's "Energy Antics" attack work like Ambipom [G]'s "Tail Code" attack in regards to Unown-G? That is, if you try to move an energy from one Pokemon to another Pokemon who has Unown-G attached, you discard the energy instead?
A. Yes, that is correct. (Feb 18, 2010 PUI Rules Team)
== TOP DROP (Primeape - PL:Supreme Victors)
Q. If Primeape's "Top Drop" attack reveals a LEGEND Pokemon card with no HP printed on it, how much damage does it do (if any)?
A. No damage is done regardless of which LEGEND half is revealed by Top Drop, because even the half with HP written on it is not considered "a Pokemon" while in the Discard Pile. (Feb 18, 2010 PUI Rules Team)

== MOOMOO MILK (GS:Heart Gold/Soul Silver)
Q. Do I need to have a current version of "Moomoo Milk" outside my deck if I'm playing the older versions of the card in Modified Format?
A. Technically speaking the "Heart Gold/Soul Silver" version is a different card and it does not do the same thing as the older versions used to (it removes more damage counters now). So you cannot play "Moo-Moo Milk" from "Neo Genesis" nor "Expedition" in the current 2009-2010 Modified Format. (Feb 18, 2010 PUI Rules Team)

== LEGEND POKEMON
Q. Can I choose one or both halves of Lugia LEGEND with Garchomp Lv.X's "Restore" attack, and play it on my Bench?
A. Restore cannot put either of these on the bench. It can't bench both halves of a Pokemon LEGEND with Restore, because it is searching for "a Pokemon". A single Pokemon LEGEND half is considered "a Pokemon" in your discard, so you could only choose one of the two Lugia LEGEND halves. However, one half of a Pokemon LEGEND cannot be brought into play alone, so you couldn't put it on your bench. (Feb 18, 2010 PUI Rules Team)
Q. Can I use Mew's "Re-creation" attack to choose a Lugia LEGEND card with the attack "Elemental Blast" written on it from my opponent's discard pile, and use that attack?
A. No, you can't use any attacks from a Pokemon LEGEND unless both pieces are in play. (Feb 18, 2010 PUI Rules Team)

==TEAM BATTLE
Q. How do we play Team Galactic's Wager in Team Battle, when it says, "Each player shuffles..."?
A. For this card, treat the text "each player" like "you and your opponent". Under POP team play rules, this means: pick someone on your team and someone on the other team. Then only each of those players shuffle their hand, etc. (Feb 18, 2010 PUI Rules Team)
