POKEMON ABILITIES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== DESTINY BARRAGE (Voltorb - XY:XY)
Q. If Voltorb is attacked by Blastoise EX's "Rapid Spin" which pushes it to the Bench after doing damage, do you still flip for Voltorb's "Destiny Barrage" Ability or not?
A. No, because the check for Destiny Barrage does not happen until after Voltorb has moved to the Bench. (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
== STANCE CHANGE (Aegislash - XY:XY)
Q. When using Aegislash's "Stance Change" Ability, what do I do with the card after I switch it with an Aegislash from my hand?
A. The Aegislash that was in play goes into your hand. (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. When using Aegislash's "Stance Change" Ability, do I have to switch the Doublade & Honedge underneath it too?
A. No, you only switch one Aegislash card for another Aegislash card. (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. If I use Aegislash's "Stance Change" Ability, to switch for another Aegislash, can I then use the new Aegislash's "Stance Change" if I want to?
A. No, even though you have switched to a new Aegislash card you cannot use Stance Change again because the effect of using it remains on that Pokemon. (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
== UPSIDE-DOWN EVOLUTION (Inkay - XY:XY)
Q. If I use Inkay's "Upside-Down Evolution" Ability, does it remain Confused after evolving?
A. No, it does not. The phrase "this counts as evolving this Pokemon" refers to evolution rules that remove Special Conditions on that Pokemon. (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. Can I put Inkay into play, confuse it somehow, and use its "Upside-Down Evolution" Ability all on the same turn?
A. Yes, you may. (Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)

POKEMON ATTACKS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== DEVOLUTION PUNCH (Golurk - BW
ragons Exalted)
Q. Can you use Devolution Spray or Golurk's "Devolution Punch" attack against a Mega Pokemon, and if so what happens to the Mega Pokemon?
A. Mega Pokemon are evolved Pokemon, so the Mega Pokemon card is removed, but the underlying Pokemon and all other cards attached stay in play (unless the Pokemon is KO'd, of course). (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
== GASTRO ACID (Arbok - XY:XY)
Q. Arbok's "Gastro Acid" attack says the Defending Pokemon has no Abilities until end of your next turn. Does retreating get rid of the effect so you can use Abilities?
A. Yes, it does. (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. Arbok's "Gastro Acid" attack says the Defending Pokemon has no Abilities until end of your next turn. Is that referring to the opponent's next turn or the attacking player's next turn?
A. It refers to the end of the next turn of the player who used Arbok's attack. (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)

TRAINER CARDS
----------------------------------------------------------------------
== EVOSODA (XY:XY)
Q. If a Basic Pokemon was put into play last turn, can I use Evosoda on it twice to bring it all the way to a Stage 2?
A. No, you cannot. When you evolve a Pokemon it is a new Pokemon, and since it was put into play this turn you cannot use Evosoda on it until next turn. (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
Q. Can I use Evosoda to search for a Mega Pokemon?
A. As long as it evolves from the Pokemon you choose, yes. (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
== MAX REVIVE (XY:XY)
Q. When using Max Revive, if I choose Blastoise can I put Wartortle & Squirtle into my deck too?
A. No, you only get to choose one Pokemon card, not an entire evolution line. (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
== SUPER POTION (XY:XY)
Q. What happens if you play Super Potion for a Pokemon that doesn't have any energy cards attached to it?
A. You still remove 60 damage (or as much as you can), but that's all. (XY FAQ; Feb 6, 2014 TPCi Rules Team)
