ERRATA
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== EXP SHARE (BW
ragon Vault)
* This version of Exp. Share [from Dragon Vault] was printed without the Pokémon Tool rule box. This card should have that rule box, matching Black & White - Next Destinies #87/99. (Oct 17, 2012 TPCi Errata Update; Feb 7, 2013 PUI Rules Team)
== SCORCHING FIRE (Charizard - BW: Plasma Storm)
* The attack cost for Scorching Fire [from Plasma Storm] was misprinted. It should be {R}{C}{C}{C}{C}, as opposed to the printed {F}{C}{C}{C}{C}. (Jan 28, 2013 TPCi Errata Update; Feb 7, 2013 PUI Rules Team)

ABILITIES/POKEMON POWERS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== BIG WING (Braviary - BW: Plasma Storm)
Q. When Braviary uses its "Big Wing" Ability, who chooses which of the opponent's Benched Pokemon get brought forward?
A. The ability says "have your opponent switch..." so the opponent gets to choose. (Plasma Storm FAQ; Feb 7, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
== BLOCK (Snorlax - BW: Plasma Storm)
Q. If my Active Pokemon is Snorlax with the "Block" Ability, what happens to my opponent's Active Pokemon if I play Escape Rope?
A. Escape Rope causes the Pokemon to switch, but Block only prevents Retreating. The opponent switches their Active Pokemon when Escape Rope is played. (Plasma Storm FAQ; Feb 7, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. If my opponent's Active Pokemon is Snorlax with the "Block" Ability, what happens to my Active Pokemon if I play Scramble Switch?
A. Scramble Switch causes your Pokemon to switch, but Block only prevents Retreating. You can switch your Active Pokemon when Scramble Switch is played. (Plasma Storm FAQ; Feb 7, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
== BRIGHT VEIL (Togekiss - BW: Plasma Storm)
Q. If my Active Pokemon is Togekiss with the "Bright Veil" Ability, do I bring up one of my benched Pokemon when my opponent plays an Escape Rope?
A. No. Bright Veil prevents your part of the "Each player switches his or her Active Pokemon" part of Escape Rope, so your Active Pokemon stays put and you can't bring up a benched Pokemon. However, your opponent does switch. (Plasma Storm FAQ; Feb 7, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
== DUAL BRAINS (Magnezone - BW: Plasma Storm)
Q. If I have two Magnezones in play with the "Dual Brains" Ability, does that mean I can play 4 Supporters during my turn?
A. No, you cannot. Dual Brains says you may play 2 Supporters, period; it doesn't say "an extra supporter" for each Magnezone. (Plasma Storm FAQ; Feb 7, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== DAMAKINESES (Beheeyem - BW: Plasma Storm)
Q. Do the six damage counters for Beheeyem's "Damakinesis" attack have to all come from the same Pokemon, or can I move a total of six from multiple Pokemon I have in play?
A. You can choose as many Pokemon as you have in play, moving a total of six damage counters. If you have less than six damage counters on all your Pokemon in play, you move all of them. (Plasma Storm FAQ; Feb 7, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. Can I choose to move less than six damage counters for Beheeyem's "Damakinesis" attack?
A. If you have six damage counters in play, you must move six of them. (Plasma Storm FAQ; Feb 7, 2013 TPCi Rules Team)

== DOWSING MACHINE (BW: Plasma Storm)
Q. Can I use Dowsing Machine, discarding something + 1 Item card to get that 1 Item card back into my hand?
