== PROTECT WING (Staraptor - DP:Stormfront)
Q. Does Staraptor's "Protect Wing" Poke-BODY reduce damage done to benched Pokemon as well as to Staraptor?
A. Protect Wing says, "any damage done by attacks from your opponent's Stage 2 Evolved Pokemon is reduced by 20". Since it does not say "any damage done to Staraptor...", this implies that it will reduce damage done to your benched Pokemon as well. (Jan 22, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
== REGI MOVE (Regice - DP:Legends Awakened)
Q. Can you discard 2 cards from your hand with Regice's "Regi Move" Poke-POWER even if the opponent's Defending Pokemon is not a Basic Pokemon? [Or what if they have no Benched Pokemon?]
A. Yes, but then you cannot switch the opponent's Defending Pokemon. (Sep 4, 2008 PUI Rules Team; Jan 22, 2009 PUI Rules Team)

== LEVELING UP
Q. If I use a Poke-POWER that can normally be used only once during my turn by that Pokemon, but then I level up that Pokemon, can I use that Poke-POWER again on the same turn?
A. No, you cannot. The Lv.X is still considered the same Pokemon as it was before leveling up. (Dec 11, 2008 PUI Rules Team; Jan 22, 2009 PUI Rules Team)
